Also, the player models(console only) look more realistic to me. Live players look too skinny, in my mind.
Skinny... The players are skinny... They are not weightlifters, they are body lifters (jumping high). It takes a certain bodytype to do that at the level some of these athletes do it... If you have a humongous upper body (like everybody on ESPN) you can't jump as well. Have you seen the real NBA players??? They are really not that heavy looking... They really don't all look like bodybuilders.
I'd say that the average NBA player is rather skinny than a body builder. Remember that the 230 pounds isn't that much for a guy who's 6'9"... There are the bigger guys, like Shaq, Kemp etc. that are really big in all proportions, but most of the players are skinny in real life in comparison to their height... So I'd say EAs got it right, not ESPN...
These are ballplayers, not Arnolds friends from the eighties...
Look at Ron Artest and tell me they didn't make him too small, or Ben Wallace. I'd like so see how big Jahidi White is in the game, anyways, Tayshaun is the right size
