NBA 2K19 Screenshots - Captured From Take the Crown Trailer

They still have Giannis looking malnourished when in reality he's looking closer to Dwight Howard these days

He could be a bit bigger, but he still isn't near as big as Dwight, despite the size he's gained.

Although not nearly as crisp as what Steve posted, I actually really liked what I saw length wise out of Gordon's player model here. He looks like an NBA player. Hopefully it's not just the angle, and the body types are much improved this year.

No so sure ; it seems that there's only 1 body type.
Look at Giannis, look at your screenshot, all the players seems to have the same arms, shoulders (but fortunately not the same lenght).

That better be on Arcade sliders lol. That’s a dunk completion dunk and shouldn’t happen during a real NBA game.

Haha, not talking about the dunk in general, but his legs seem to have a lot of length in that shot. Like a real body type. That looks like Aaron Gordon.

The game almost looks photorealistic. Only thing that bothers me it's the lighting in the arenas, but that will be corrected with the new generation of consoles.
Obs: minor thing but the ball is finally orange! LOL

Gallinari's boxing out for a rebound at perimeter. hard working man for sure.

It was too dark in 2K15, 2K18 and it seems to be the same thing in 2K19.
But lighting was great on 2K14 (PS4/XB1) and 2K16.
Pretty good in 2K17 but colors were too satured.

I could be in the minority but I don't mind having some over the top dunks and alleyoops as long as they aren't happening every single game and are done with the right players. It's part of what makes videogames fun and exciting. It's not like Aaron Gordon is incapable of throwing that down irl. He's had some nice in game dunks.

There a number of reverse alleyoops that countdown and in dunks 2 and 3 he clutches like he did in the 2K clip.
Crazy things happen in real life. Gianni's jumped over a dude last year to throw down a lob. I wouldn't want 2K going overboard with over the top animations but I like having the possibility of a player doing something incredible every now and then. I feel like 2K handles it pretty well. 2K is usually a year round game for me and I strictly play NBA games. Can't remember the last 2K game where I felt they went overboard with the dunks and animations.

That looks nice, until you notice that Deandre Jordan's upper body is being sucked into his waist. XD

They really need to completely redo their player models from the waist down, and tighten up both the jerseys and the shorts. Those are the most egregious issues for me, even more than the stadium lighting. The uniform fit has been a problem for years.

There's a clear difference between Kyrie's arms and Giannis's. I think your confusing the muscle definition which is similar between some of them.

It's not too bad if they're kept to realistic situations. But here, his head is at rim level, which, even in that top 10 video you linked, never happened.

The only thing that's really missing are the butts (stay with me guys) everyone in the game pretty much doesn't have one, and it's really frustrating on players like Deandre or James Harden.

It's a few things. The legs in general are too short across the board. It also seems like the models don't exist from the waist to the thigh (including the butt). Basically it looks like they have a stomach, then no actual body under their clothes from there until the top of the thigh. The shorts (and jerseys) are way too loose, which really emphasizes the other issues.

I just needed to state the fact that Aaron Gordon has hit his head on the rim numerous times. There are many articles with him talking about it. So its not completely out of the ordinary for him to have his head at rim level for an occasional throw down. People really need to stop nitpicking the small stuff. I can understand about the uniforms, and arenas, but these little things dont need to be said.

Yep, they ain't got @$$.

So glad I'm not the only one, but as a few others have mentioned, the player body's are just off. WAY OFF! The legs are too thick and short. It seems as players get taller, they expand rather than their limbs lengthen (if that makes sense). Players lack that long, slender look that basketball players have. Cankles have returned. The lack of butts and weight/thickness *pause* below the waist throws everything out of whack as well. What is holding their shorts up? Are they velcro'd to the jerseys? The uniforms look like they're hanging off of coat hangers instead of fitting an actual body. The jersey's over animate, too baggy for the current NBA, and just looks weird. Some of the shoes are out of proportion. The face scans are great, but they REALLY need to work on the accuracy of the entire body. The immersion is being diminished. Seriously, why are we still talking about THICK legs and ankles??? WTH?!?!?!?*So disappointing.

Gotta be honest, Live is killing 2k with the player faces, we'll see about the player models. The mouth movement was great though. 

Idk, from what I've seen, Live's faces are hit/miss in terms of player accuracy. Harden in Live 19 looks weird, Derozan looks 100% better in 2K, and Jojo's hair is horrendous in Live which is terrible for EA considering he's the cover athlete. They nailed CP3, Russ and KD in Live though.
All of the players in Live look really dead in the eyes though, but only some of 2K's faces look kinda dead if that makes any sense. In the trailer, Lebron, KAT, and Kemba looked absolutely alive. Steph and Giannis imo looked a little dead.

This must be why the shorts are still so big - to cover this up?
Just speculating.
