NBA 2K18 Screenshot - Victor Oladipo

This must be another body type because it's not as slender and muscular as others we've seen. Also an alright look at the new Nike socks

Look almost like gumby

Full body shot. Can't find anything to complain about...
Liking the random photo drops also.

I think he looks ok! not impressed! his neck length is off!

Maybe it's the angle but his head seems kind of small to me. I'm liking that new jersey though

I think his arms are about the right size. This pic has sweat and some lighting about it also.

So from the looks of it....Stance is out as the official sock of the NBA?

Yeah, that's why they've been getting rid of all of their NBA socks

I'm getting a 2K15 vibe from this screenshot... which I personally don't like. The lighting looks extremely dark, also that body model is very awkward looking. What's up with Victor's neck? Come on 2K....

2k currently shooting 2-5 on player model screenshots

This photo confirms that player models won't look nearly as good on court, as they do in cutscenes

It's not the angle, it is too small; that's how his head has been for years. It's looking like the same issues with proportion as in the past evidently.

They gonna tease us with the Warriors though smh

The lighting looks so perfect in the Embiid image...smh...its a shame how bad it looks on the court

Klay thompsons leg looks pretty good lol

This looks like him as a rookie and the long neck is just wrong, it's like I am glad 2k is coming with the screenshots but outside of the cutscene screens the on court screens aren't to impressive so far. If the game doesn't look too good up close then it will only get worse from the game playimg view.

It's the lighting, watch some 2K15 gameplay and it looks very similar. Very dark, not very realistic.

Where has it been confirmed that stance is no longer with the NBA?

I think the lighting is dark like that because of the screens to showcase the player more

At this point, I don't even wanna see nothing else but gameplay & CAP news. My purchase is ultimately going to come down to whether or not those areas dramatically improved.
I'm starting to accept the fact that they've been reached their peak, visually.

For what it's worth I remember Dwade had a snapchat up of his feet with custom stance socks on. The caption read something like:
-"Sad we won't be seeing these next season" or something along those lines. Maybe someone else can testify for me?

I understand using depth of field for that but making it darker is not a good look if this is what they doing

I like it. Models definitely are slimmed down. I like the lighting here, too. I didn't see it with the other on court pics. Those Pacer jerseys look sleek.

Looks more like Roy Hibbert

For benefit of the doubt, early images usually do not have that final polish...things like lighting and texture can be addressed and likely will before release.
What is often not addressed are models, and Oladipo's model is wrong as it has been since they put him in the game.

Those jerseys and the Jordan's with the wings 🔥
His neck is long af though 😂 (could be the angle?)

You guys are gonna jizz over the shorts length

I'm glad they fixed the shorts.

Wow I didn't even catch that. Dope!

did players always use to have sweat down the legs ? If so I've never noticed it

Based of Draymon's player model in the background, Looks like another year of shorts looking like skirts. Sigh

Smh crowd lighting is dark as hell like last year
Not very impressed with this screenshot tho.

He looks more like Tony Snell...
Overall the player model looks pretty good. He's sweaty as all hell, and the lighting is still sub-par. But I like the detail in the shoes. Limited view but I like what Nike did with those Pacers jerseys -- I wonder if those are primary or alternate uni's ...

To me it looks like some players have different shorts lengths than others. Now I don't know if that's the case or not because of the blurring. But, if that is the case, will shorts length be adjustable on a player by player basis as it was in the past? Boy I hope!

Yep - agree with this part. Don't know why he has the generic 2K17 haircut still. I figured 2K would at least have the hair he had all throughout last season.
Meh...

I think I dig those new Pacers jerseys.

Maybe the picture of him in a "defensive" stance is a hint to their priority this year... :y220:

Others have said it in the first screenshots thread, but I agree that 2K maxed out graphically with 2K14. Perhaps all of the improved AI forced them to dial back the graphical detail since then. 2K will have to be willing to do a complete overhaul, which I don't know whether they'd be willing to take the risk -- the game is selling despite the lack of graphical upgrades.

Stance will remain a licensing partner with the NBA. They'll still be doing lifestyle socks for the league at retail, Nike however is taking over as the On-Court sock though unfortunately.
Fox Sports did an interview about a month or so ago with the NBA's Vice President of global partnerships.

Could identify who it was from the jump and really like the body type improvement...
Looks good to me....love that new Pacers jersey too...

As long as he has a 25 basketball IQ rating, Im fine with it...

Personally, I'd be completely fine with that :rolleyes:

Thank god.

roy hibbert my man.

Great, just when Stance was doing unique, dope things with the license. Now, we gotta see the damn Swoosh everywhere (gonna look weird on non - Nike endorsed athletes) on the on - court athletes.
Oh well, Nike cut a huge check so makes sense that they want their branding everywhere possible.

Its funny seeing complaints about the neck length being too long after years of the opposite complaint. Whats clear is, as long as theres no individual player body scanning, theres always going to be something 'wrong' with some guys, as a few base models will never cover hundreds of uniquely built individuals.
I personally take the giraffe neck over the stubby neck as a lot of these dudes have long necks. Also I like the fact that this model looks like a new and improved one.

Can't un-see the neck :y220d:

I'm more shocked that they actually showed a full body shot after all the years of just showing the upper half....at least he doesn't have monster calves.

Body type looks solid, jerseys seem to fit on the shoulders like they should.
Only complaint I have is his neck. Looks a bit too long IMO. Other than that, I got nothing to complain about this screen.

Jersey armholes seems to be a bit better....can't really tell since he's hunched over like that. I have a feeling that it might be the same as last years....same goes to the shorts it only looks like it's shorter but in actuality its not (judging from the other players around him)
2k is more likely showing off the new slender body type and hopefully new leg models. I really do hope they give certain players more appropriate leg models. This gives off the illusion that they actually look tall and not stubby....

Maybe it is the angle but his fingernails are a little bit off...

I'm liking what I see. Body type is a huge improvement from Stickman 2k17. Love the calf muscle and the neck doesn't bother me.

Here's a good article where they address the Stance sponsorship.

Where do you see the Jordans with the wings?

Just to bring a little levity to all of this... I love this time of year when 2K starts slowly dribbling out screenshots and we all start analyzing every single aspect of each picture. I have to laugh because I can see in my head all of us with those art magnification eye pieces inspecting every detail of every screenshot then having to go back and inspect again after someone points something new out about the shot..... Now if you excuse me, I do believe that someone said something about the shorts I missed. :lol:

Look Klay's shorts!!!!

And speaking of the socks, I wasn't a big fan of the Stance socks at the beginning but they had grown on me. That being said, I hope the Nike socks aren't just solid white, solid black or solid team colors and I also hope this is the year that we can finally assign which sock (regardless of color) we want players to wear.

What about his shorts? I've heard people mentioning shorts, what about them? What's different?

Im sure no one noticed the guy in the 4th row of the crowd eating a hot dog... Nice detail.

The color of the mustard is off.
:signball:

:y1: Don't forget his fingernails. They are off too.

Not bad, though it's like something is missing, not sure what.
Also, it would be really uncomfortable for him to play while wearing a left shoe on his right foot...

This guy got his wish lol.

Almost as good as everyone freaking out over the addition of armpit hair few years back.

Man give Chris Bosh his neck back...lol. He's the only player what would deserve that

I can picture the guys at 2k reading that thread lmao

Man when did WISports get banned!?
I was sooooo keen to see his reaction when Greek Freak pics dropped. I reckon he'd have been a happy camper this year!
What a damn shame.....
