The clips in this blog doesn’t look next-gen and I am kind of disappointed after seeing the 1st next-gen trailer with the Warriors vs Mavs

And you're the one who told me to wear glasses..

My arguments are same CFs / 3D models, same textures, slightly better lighting, but other games do better.
Still waiting for yours...
So I persist, this game doesnt look like NG.

I can't take you serious when you say I'm comparing a next gen game to last gen, but then you previously said the game doesn't look next gen. Again the PC guys are mad.

come on, grow up a little bit, there's no war PC vs consoles.

if the game was beautiful, i'll be pissed off because it will not be released on PC. But here, i'm just disapointed because we'll have this result for 5/7 years...

Come on, Man! 5-7 years? Really? You're going to sit here and state this is what we're going to get for the next 5-7 years? Wow...now, you're just being Chicken Little about the game. I understand some people had too high of expectations for the next-gen consoles in terms of graphics, but let's NOT pretend that game developers across all games won't produce better games over time.

At this point, I don't know what you all were expecting, but sounds like you all wanted gameplay and graphics so dang realistic that you can sell tickets to people to watch you play the game.

Well, i havent seen a huge gap in 2K between 2K14 and 2K21.
Some parts of the graphics are better, some are the same, some are worse (lighting).
So yeah, a console generation 5-7 years.

Then I don't know what to tell you other than you need to find a different game that meets your expectations for next-gen gaming. CLEARLY, NBA 2K is not going to do it for you.

can hope for a wake up, crossed fingers for a real improvement on gameplay side... but you're right, the game delivers less and less of my expectations.

Y’all gonna say I’m nitpicking but does Dame not skip steps/Slide into Chris Paul on that charge?

You're not nitpicking...he absolutely does.

A little bit, but it looks like it was transitioning from the dribble animation into the charge animation.

You're right, btw sliding is more obvious on D.Mitchell clip.

I’m waay late on this, been busy with work. A lot of good things in the blog. Foot planting and help defense have needed a rework for a while. Makes me excited to see some 5 on 5 gameplay.

As far as the graphics, I think it looks great.

Re: NBA 2K21 Next-Gen Gameplay Blog (Part 2 of 3) - Movement, Contact, Impact Engine

His point is valid, but so is everyone else’s point. The fact that the ridiculously bad player models, NOT FACES, just player models, were untouched, is already a big red flag. They kept touting the game as “built from scratch” when the player models are still the exact same. I know for a fact they have the capabilities to at least improve the player models, but they did not. It takes a lot of the realism out, when these players have huge heads and little legs, and just look cartoonish.

Nba live had amazing models, but the game wasn’t great. I just wanted to see an improvement in player models, and we got none. If enough people complain, maybe they’ll fix it, but I’d hate to be stuck with these models for this whole generation, just because people with no artistic sense think they look “good enough” or because it “doesn’t bother them”. No! This is one of the best selling games in the world. The essence of any NBA basketball game should be 5v5 in an NBA court. Fix that before you build a whole neighborhood with a barbershop and footlocker.

No offense, but you sidestepped the questions: Which game is the next gen standard bearer? Don't be like someone else and say "all of them" lol. Complete silliness. Spiderman MM? Ratchet and Clank? Demon Souls Remastered!? Madden? These titles are representative of the power of the PS5 and XSX? What's supposed to be so beyond what 2K21 is? Spiderman MM is coming out for the PS4 too. Ratchet and Clank likely couldn't be done on the PS4, but it's not some reimagining of the Ratchet and Clank I have for the PS4. Dark Souls is a remake of the FIRST Dark Souls game from what I understand. And Madden... Go to that forum and you'll see there are tons of people that would love for the next Madden to be the equivalent of what 2K21 has shown. Instead it's the same old expect the worst/hope for the best scenario. Now there are rumors it may not even be a launch game - when it was already rumored to just be an upgrade of the current gen game anyway. 2K released a current gen 2K21 that had to add enough value to merit being purchased, AND is releasing a next gen 2K21. All after Madden 21 current gen released. Some perspective, please.

Everyone's point is valid, to a degree - but it has to be within reason. Everyone's entitled to their own opinion, but when that opinion can generally be considered unreasonable, then imo it's not valid.

They focused players not sliding on offence in this blog. My concern is players sliding on defence, and worries me they didn’t mention it. The euro step has been unusable against the cpu for years because the defender just slides with you and the animation

[dal_hawk]

They really need to improve the look of some players facial hair. Why does it look like Giannas has a full beard?
