But overall looks good

Ok another new job for the modders
Little muscle definition and overall looks very cartoonish and like plastic.
Guess we’ll have to wait until next gen for things to get better in the graphics department.
Jokes aside I hope they’ve actually improved the skin tones or the way light bounces of the skin or whatever. The color palette has had the grayish ashy hue for the last couple years

Lmaooo good one bro
I wish they would just hire the guys who do the modded cyberfaces and let them work from home. Razor is a nice addition, but they could use a lot more help. Oh, and why in the heck do they not realize how off the player head to body ratios are? AD looks like a 5'6" dude scaled up to be 6'10". Everyone's heads are too big and their legs are too short. This needs to be addressed sooner rather than later.
Talk to me when they follow MLB The Show's lead and remove microtransactions from career mode.
At least we have MyLeague. Still stunned that made it into the game at all, given who's in charge.
19 looks more realistic to me.
Lol yh. But if they are legit, seems they upgraded the lighting back a bit for sure. I also like my eye candy, so my fingers are crossed.
Yeah if they are legit then they definitely tweaked the lighting a little and updated the color saturation. I really hated the cold/gloomy/grey aesthetic of the past couple 2k’s. I like the warmer aesthetic.
I think he looks lifeless in the 19 photo. Might be the eyes or the skin tone

Facts. Look how they did 2K18 compared to 2K19:

Yeah I know some can't be scanned but if a PC modder can capture a likeness with good ol' face sculpting with a high res face from the web. Surely the (paid) art team can do the same. No?
Sent from my SM-G960U1 using Tapatalk
hoping he doesn't look as crappy as usual this year.
Will never look good until they are allowed to scan him.
They've made pretty good cyberfaces without face scans on several players before but with Westbrook it seems like they get worse and worse each year.
Like I wonder who even approves of this. I mean Westbrook didn't look crazy bad in 2K18 but who the hell was responsible for ninja turtle looking *** Westbrook in 19....
Idk how they can look at this and say it was good to go. Same goes for a lot of these guys. They look "close enough", but are far from what they could look like.

Yeah photos likes these get posted every year, still does not change the fact that until 2k scans him we will continue to get horrible player models.
Their track record doesn't make me hopeful but we'll see. I don't think it can get any worse than 2K19 but the worse they can do is not tuning it whatsoever at all.
hol up....R4zoR is now with 2k?
Yes. Brian Mazique had a video within last few weeks confirming it
If he is working in the creative face department then yes 2k player models, skin tone and faces will be 100% legit. R4zor does amazing creation not only for 2k but the 2k wrestling as well
Congrats to him. Most our computer guys came from nlsc, it's good to see them accomplish there dreams through the years.
I remember they asked him before but he was in another country to accept or something like that. Not sure what position they gave him but congrats to him.
Why can't they scan him in?
I think when they sign contract to be on Live cover, it blocks 2k from being able to do face scans or promotional use of players for a time period
Ah. Gotcha. That was my first thought.
Sent from my SM-G960U1 using Tapatalk
I thought the same thing. The biggest difference I'm noticing in the butler/walker photos is the arena lighting and how its adding color to the player models. That looks good to me but I know some might disagree.
But I'm really waiting to see if body proportions and head proportions have been changed. I hope it's not the same issues, I know we sound silly complaining about visual details to guys whose main concerns are gameplay, but it really takes me out of a game when someone like Bol Bol is thicccc with a huge head. They have to at least resemble the body type and head proportions so that the issue isn't glaring in the middle of the great gameplay.
It’s def not the 2k14 Jimmy

It actually is. From 14 to 16 he had the exact same face. In 17 they updated his hair but somehow made the face worse. And then they "re-do" a bunch of faces like LeBron and Jimmy but still the same scan. And to me, it looks like an updated texture on 20 but still, it's the same scan from 14. I was a modder, so I know a thing or two about face textures looking the same.

What are you talking about? Westbrook looked a lot better in 19 than 18. He looked awful in 18.

14 and that 18 are different just slightly altered
2k17 face is wider
This is 19
That's what I meant. But it's still the same scan from 14.
Are we just gonna point to anything R4zor? I mean 2K has updated hair styles on players many times in years past, no surprise. They did a bunch last year, and year before that.
If anything R4zor was probably only allowed to touch up “classic” players since that’s what he is most famous for. Body proportions, face scans, nothing has changed or indicates R4zor has tuned it up or we’d notice it.

There’s no way you can have someone else agree with you that 2K19 Westbrook was better than 18. If others do prefer 19, I could be wrong and is just my opinion but 19 looks absolute horrible. They both are anyway

Everybody is catching on to the trend now lol. 2k adds a little sweat and people go crazy. It's the same every single year. I'm more interested in gameplay than artwork. A game that looks good but doesn't play good is a failure.
Do you guys think the jerseys look a little bit more tighter or is it the same?

It’s possible that they are fitting tighter in this year’s game. I’d hope so but I doubt it
One has nothing to do with the other, different departments.

Always the same. They’re not making any changes to the graphics until next gen. Let’s just skip the song and dance and move on to gameplay and game-mode details.

Please don't think these ashy *** player models next to these new screenshots mean anything at all.
Dame looking on point as usual. They've always done a good job with him.
Sent from my SM-G975U using Tapatalk
Totally agree. I know they can get this right cause they did a good job on Mo Bamba last year. Got all his proportions and body weight right.
20 captured his expression perfectly.
Why does same get realistic skin while others look like clay?
I buzzed through the schedule challenges and domination. I beat all of that back in December.
The offline triple threat game mode is severely broken seemingly never-ending.
Yep they does. By the way, does sim engine broken to you in 2k19 ???. It look fine to me because bucks, warriors, raptors, 76ers and Portland record look accurate to me. Curry, giannis, harden, LeBron and kawhi are in top 5 for pts avg in league leader
Why do u attribute that to him? Doesn’t 2k update players year to year.
Sent from my SM-G950U using Operation Sports mobile app
Looks like the skinny waist models they went with last year have made their return though...
I'm actually fine with where the face likenesses are at. I'm more so concerned about body types and head sizes. Kawhi has a very chiseled and defined look to his muscles.
I'm not saying these body types need to be removed, they work well, with certain players.
Yeah, but to me it just looks like R4zor's work and his level of detail on those two and also Jimmy. Not trying to discredit anyone else on the art team, but after seeing a lot of his cyber-faces, that's what it looks like to me. Could be completely wrong though.
KD and Kyrie’s face scan looks the same. With Kyrie in past years, his face scan didn’t look quite right for some reason even though he was cover athlete but at least the hair update makes it a bit better idk what it is though.

I agree, something with his eyes just looks way off. 2K16 still has the best KD model imo.
Agree. 2K16 has the best player models in general to be honest (excluding MJ). 👍
I'm hoping Wall, Russ, & Jokic, got updates, but also lesser players as well. Jabari Parker has had the same scan for a quarter century.
Well...if you're into graphics.
Not just graphics since you can edit body styles/muscle tones, makes courts look more authentic with dornas/ads, change scoreboard and much more.

2K16....then there was 2K17. I’m still appalled how it got worse over a one year span. Like I’m literally mind blown and disgusted how 2K17 looked. Everybody had a stick of an arm and had barrel sized shoulders on others.

True Ksuttonjr. There is no need to complain about player art on PC due to the awesome modding community there. If you are the kind of person who sweats those details like accurate player likenesses (No shortage of good Westbrooks on PC), hair styles, tats, body types, etc. then PC is always the best option.
As far as the screenshots that were released it appears the lighting and skin texture have been improved from 19' imo. I'm praying that R4zor was brought in exclusively to help with legends and/or current NBA players who weren't scanned. 2k is taking a huge contributor away from the modding community and I hope they don't just stick him in the basement somewhere..

jokic needs an update bad.
Man I hate to be that guy I know I’m probably gonna get banned for this. But it’s clear that 2k paying OS & Forbes to fool the public with these screens. The jig is up. Every year they post a comparison they always use pics of players from the previous iteration that are dry, to make the new glossy screenshots standout. Why not set the quarters to 1 minute and capture photos during the 4th when everyone is sweaty? Then compare them to the new sweat driven screenshots? That would give people a better indication on how much the graphics have improved. Enough with the shenanigans. Everybody has already caught on.
Like bro c’mon...
I saw another pic on the stream too...he looks pretty much the same tbh. Thought he would have got a hair update, but oh well.
Jarrett Allen with the ninja headband?
They said they are in SF right? They better be getting their faces scanned if that’s the reason why they didn’t even bother showing their screenshots today.

They said it was because of their new jerseys
I’m appalled they didn’t even update Westbrook’s hair. This is probably the prime example that R4zor wasn’t given the ability to tune face scans because there is no way he would’ve let the current Westbrook face scan pass. 🤢

The Warriors new jerseys? They don’t have new ones, well not drastic at least since they only changed the bridge logo slightly and the font.
I could be totally wrong and the Warriors may be brewing up a completely new jersey style 🤷🏻*♂️
If I remember correctly, they released a screenshot of LeBron wearing the old Laker jerseys way, way ahead of the new ones being announced.

They said that on the livestream, during which part? I probably missed since I got so pissed and muted them when they just started skipping player screens like Jokic, Griffen, then obviously Klay and Steph

Makes me think about the jump we'll see in visuals next gen. The lack of muscle tone and varying body types is obvious. Makes me think that Zion won't look like himself this year
