That was a nice read. I like FP - he's one of the few I will stop to read and believe each word afterwards.

Dunno how body models have slithered their way into this thread..... bless you guys

Guys, if everything in this day's threads winds up playing as well as it sounds...

I will GLADLY live with the player models.

Would you rather have:
A game that plays beautifully both during and between games, but has clearly flawed player models?
Or a game with picture-perfect player models that plays like Cheetahmen 2?

Priorities, man!

But why 'remove' muscle tone. Go out of their way to downgrade certain things it's odd.

The blue on the jersey is way off. Should be much darker. And the logo in the centre is too small. Needs to be fixed, one of the cleanest jerseys around...



This is what it should look like. Hopefully a patch can fix it.

I'm surprised you look at that comparison and focus on the blue color. For me the biggest issue is the TINY circle in the middle with the player number. It's smaller to an insulting degree...

I had to look up "Cheetahmen". Holy ish man. That has to be right up there with ninja turtles on NES. On track tho, the player models can mess with spacing if to large. Still waiting on that gameplay footage....

I agree that both mistakes are equally terrible, gun to my head I'd prefer the colour to be right as in general gameplay that'd stand out more. I'm really disappointed as these are my most liked jerseys in the league (maybe my bias) and they butchered it so bad on multiple fronts that I'll never wear them in the game.

Im keen to see how this dribbling system plays out.

The signature size ups are gone, which seems to indicate a loss of individual player style.

I'm just waiting for non fanboys of this franchise to play this game and tell the difference, this franchise literally has more fanboys that claim you can tell the difference every year, when in reality, basically plays the same. Only then commentary nothing really excites me. I hope create a player is better and actually allow us to put tattoos on them, that was so lame last year, all these tattoo creations but wouldn't let you put a single tattoo on CAP.

Yeah I speculated this also dude. A few of the guys tell me that it's confirmed still signature though. Just broken up (1 dribble move per directional input).

Whereas in 2K16 it was flick once for 3/4/5 moves (signature).

So again, I've been told by a few people on other threads it's apparently still signature. Just broken up.

That's good to hear. I was about worried; I'd hate for a flick of the right stick would trigger an animation that was identical whether doing it with Kyrie Irving or Kendrick Perkins.

You posted in a thread where a non fanboy got the chance to play...

Yeah I hear you. But there's been assurance which is enough for me. Some have even insisted that it's quite visible on some of the leaked vids (I just personally couldn't take much from them).

But listen, blogs are around the corner if 99% isn't enough.

It would be odd of them to remove signature stuff though - total backwards move so that sort of backs up any doubt (if word of mouth isn't enough).
