NBA 2K14 First Look on PS4 Coming Monday

I won't get into an argument over this but I don't believe you, that sequence literally went by in half a second. I don't know how you could have assessed that there are 3 of the same models in different parts of the audience within that time.

Uhhhh I also noticed it... and when I went back and looked it's actually more like 6 or 7 of the same guy. Theres two more on the bench RIGHT NEXT TO EACH OTHER.
 
One thing that was pretty disappointing:

So much for dat 8GB Ram.

Are the two guys playing on the Rockets also twins?

This is what they were hyping? Yeesh.
 
honestly was expecting significantly better.. Sports games usually really drive home the generational shift to me and this is not doin' it.

One guy is white the other is Asian. Their hair is different, and you're looking at Jeremy Lin from a distance. Chander Parson's hair looks off; otherwise, they look pretty accurate.

That looks nothing remotely like Chandler Parson and almost exactly like Jeremy Lin to his right. Perhaps they only had enough money to model a few players properly.

You can barely see any details of Lin's face and only a side profile of Parson's face in that screenshot. His hair is definitely wrong, but it looks similar to him from the side.

Not trying to defend the game, really, but I'd wait until better screenshots come out before definitively saying the models for those two are inaccurate.
 
Looks amazing

And to think this is probably slightly rushed sports title to meet expectations, imagine NBA 2k15 and 2k16 where they really can dig in

In the beginning of the trailer Lebron vaporizing into the 3D model. I figured as much, but it's not entirely accurate because of the setting and post processing effects.

Still neat.
 
The face wrinkles look wrong and it's definitely looking gimmicky. It looks like a texture that turns off and on instead of real deformation. But even if it's not deformation, they could at least have a gradual effect instead of off and on. To me it looks like a texture and then a shiny piece of plastic afterwards.

I'm being nitpicky, but I'm thinking that 2K saw NBA Live 14 and said, "Oh shit" and just put a new spit shine on the same old ass engine.

Live 14 looks fresher but after the Jesus Bynum and the Madden bugs, who knows how this is going to play.

2K14 might have to do for the basketball fix, though. But all of 2K's games have had it's share of ridiculous bugs and graphical glitches since the Dreamcast days.
