The strangest render of Ryan Gomes in ANY NBA video game

[boxMAN29]

Anyone ever notice this? This is Ryan Gomes' render on NBA 2K6, it's not a good one, as it looks too much like Joe Johnson aka "Iso Joe", I have always noticed this when playing this over the years. He looks the same on PS2 and original XBOX.

Sadly, he looks like this on all PS2 2K's he's in, even 2K12 despite actual portraits of him being used in those games. This model is also in the Xbox 360 version and the PS3 and Xbox 360 versions of NBA 2K7.

While he has no portrait in the PS2 and original XBOX versions, he has one in the Xbox 360 version.

Also attached a pic of his Media Day 2005 pic to show what he actually looked like at the time of the game's release.

The shape of his eyes doesn't help.

Here's Joe Johnson's 2K6 model (It's a transfer from ESPN NBA 2K5), while there are a few minor differences between the 2, they do have a striking resemblance to each other, I never said it looked exactly like Joe Johnson. I should have posted this above when I made this.

Very similar models indeed.

Great quality on those captures, too!

Thanks! I used PCSX2 and had the graphics resolution set to 1080p

PS2 emulation has come a long way. The latest PCSX2 build is fantastic.

Yeah, I agree, I've been replacing player portraits with fictional characters (cartoon, anime and video game) on ESPN NBA 2K5 with it, it's so much fun!
