First NBA 2K18 Screenshots

Re: First NBA 2K18 Screenshots

We can only judge what they show us but I hope these are just early build screens lol

Hope so, 2k is known to do that sometimes. Also just speculation I see Wwe 2k18 went to a new graphics engine so maybe 2k did too?

The more I look at these screenshots compared to shots of 2k17 I'm wondering if they still need to implement or tweak the lighting system.  This is exactly what happened last year.  The early screenshots lacked lighting adjustments that came later and it was a noticeable improvement.

I'm really starting to believe this is the best they can do, and we have no hope of a new graphics engine or gameplay engine.
I got burned out on last years so fast, because it barely felt any different, and the graphics are 2 to 5 percent differences each year.

For once I wished they'd get rid of the cartoon look, with the rubber skin and fat legs. Put real skin textures and muscle structure with mass and lean.

I'm really not impressed with these screenshots because outside of a few stretch marks and some hair styles. It's meh at best!

We should already be at this level of graphics, with the power of PC's and Consoles currently!

Imagine if the Xbox One X wasn't restricted to original Xbox One

It's not! I don't understand where people get that from, you can program a game at it's max and it can be played differently per unit. Same as PC with Low, Medium, High and Ultra.

Obviously the games were designed with Ultra settings but you can downgrade them with a simple setting. The XB1 isn't holding back the X, same as the PS4 isn't holding back the Pro.

And thats where Im hoping Xbox One X graphics will be more than just a 4k hdr upgrade. Id liked better lighting, skin textures,crowd,etc...

The 4K texture packs are no different than the ones used on PC aka HD Textures, they make the games night and day of original files.
Since Xbox One and X are both windows OS Based units it's more than capable and possible.

Where are those pics from Kobe from? As much as I would love to see an NBA game, or any game, with that graphic quality I feel like it would be a struggle to get every single player looking that good and have the game running smooth. Not to mentioned the space that would be needed for other features. Also seems very time consuming. Of course this is coming from someone that knows little about the entire process.

I think in order to get that quality the two key things would be power (of the console/PC) and time. 2k would probably have to skip a release or work on a new graphics engine behind the scenes just to reach that quality.

Those are renders from a future EA Basketball game...and click here at 18, to see they are on the way there.

If the competition has reached this level of detail, I'm sure 2k should have surpassed it by now. Some kind of way they haven't.
