Yeah this has been an eyesore for me previously as well - the crowds have been pretty dark and the arenas far too hazy the last couple years if you ask me! It appears like the upper decks may still be too dark, but at least the lower levels appear to be more vibrant (Speights pic). The also seemed to maybe touch up arena seating (baselines populated/sidelines seem closer to court), so that helps asthetically too. Hard to know for sure until final product is seen.

Then ... I scour youtube for real NBA footage and notice the crowd isn't completely lit up brightly in some scenes. It does have a darker appearance depending on the camera angle, sort of. I do notice some shows in the below real NBA footage that the crowd is sitting in the dark. But has NBA2k ever had fans brightly lit regardless of camera angle. So who the heck knows.

I think maybe the crowd being dark may be because rendering several thousand fans along with so many other visuals as well as 10 players, up to 20 bench players, coaches etc. it probably would cause hella frame rate drops.

I have considered that as being the reason. I think this is also one of the reason why MLB the Show would sometimes blur out the fans in the stands.

It's all angles and what is shown. The pics from the Gamestop Expo show them playing from broadcast view and in broadcast view you only see the lower bowl. Most of the lighting is correct on the lower bowl, the issue is the mid to upper decks of the arenas that seem too dark in most arenas. They also have a lack of lighting at the corners (ends of the floor) in the lower bowl. I just want this back at the least for some of the arenas:

There was another better photo from that Gamestop event that shows a more darkened crowd from broadcast view however. I'll see if I can find it.

Ah ok....gotcha....thanks lakers

Also did Bropez cut his hair over the summer? If not it looks like they still don't have his hair updated...

Assuming that's a recent build...

Bropez has a tendency to cut his hair some seasons and have his curly in others and sometimes he grows it out from the low cut during the season, so it's hard to get a feel on what he'll rock. But the most recent Brook is low Brook:

I do think it may be because of the console limitations. I know some would bring up other sports titles having fully lit arenas with more fans (Madden and Fifa, and even NHL with all their unique fans), but these games have different engines and the players in 2k are of a lot higher quality than those in other titles so that may be why crowds have been darkened so much.

Yeah they changed the line colors

They made huge changes. I'm shocked. Not only the line colors, but I see the basketball is no longer behind the Bull logo at center court either. Bulls haven't had that look since Chicago Stadium closed it's doors.

It's in the 2nd quote? It looks like it's showing up correct on my screen. Maybe it's because of mobile?

i should say a new scan

I think he looks fine and these guys don't have to say yes to being scanned over and over again. It isn't like the WWE where I'm sure the full-time performers are obligated to be scanned multiple times if necessary. With NBA players it is completely voluntary, unfortunately.

Nba should step in and say it's mandatory....they could say something like "players must get scanned so they can represent the NBA better" or "do it or be fined"

He looks fine, the only thing I'd say they could change is to lighten the color of his a hair a tad. They already removed his 3d beard and seemed to have touched up his hair model. His cheek bones also appear a slight bit narrower and pronounced.
