In no way could you be disappointed with the way this game looks. There just is no equal. You'll end up pinching yourself to make sure it isn't a dream. The players look even better than they did in Sega's first attempt. They obviously spent a great deal of time concentrating on making the players more closely match their real-life counterparts.
Body proportions are so close to the real thing that it's bizarre.
Another player characteristic that was greatly improved upon are the jerseys. In NFL2K, it was quite common to spot a player whose jersey only identified the position they played and not their actual name. This time around, I have yet to see a single player having a similar identity crisis. The players are not the only ones that look great though. The stadiums are also improved.
