Didn't you just say that the game doesn't look next-gen, so which one is it?

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.

Like others have said, it all sounds nice, but these blogs have indeed failed to deliver in the past and did not translate to anything significant in the game. As an example: this claim of first time contact alley-oops, uhm that was there in the past, just better animated it seems from that Dwight Howard clip. I will stay skeptical. Built from the ground up is always funny to hear, but let's hope it's true and it's really groundbreaking.

I still haven't heard anything addressing my main issues with the game: full control of passing - more styles, ways to throw, speed - defense AI of teammates, box out and fighting for position control, fast break AI which is tied to passing as well. Difference in speed as well. I still don't feel it makes that much difference if you're Westbrook for example, who should have explosive speed and should be able to run on a fast break much faster than 90% of other players. Nobody should be able to catch up or stop him cept for a handful of fast and or good defensive players.

i'm agree but this graphics are only thing with animations that we can judge right now.

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

based on the all the clips shown so far the gameplay doesn't really particularly look remarkable. Kinda unimpressive tbh :/



I was hoping for an AI movement system like I've seen from some research papers, or at least something similar. These animations on next-gen still appear to be mocap animations that are a few seconds long at max and then blended from one animation to the next which is why it still doesn't appear seamless like the AI tech I mentioned earlier. Maybe it's still not viable for use in commercial projects idk, either way it sucks that we're gonna be stuck with this fundamentally old method for next-gen

I couldn't care less how the game looks, hell current gen still looks pretty damn good.

It's all about whether the animations and player interactions have advanced enough to remove all the cheese/exploits that ruin the game every year including (but not limited to):

• screen spam and being sucked into screens
• teleporting for rebounds
• bad or non-existent transition defense
• broken help defense
• blocked shots going back to the offense 90% of the time

etc. etc.

Texture quality should be the least of people's worries, and while they say they are addressing many of the issues above, well we've heard all this before, haven't we?

Hell they've even FIXED them before at various points before reverting them back to broken status to appease the whiny Twitter fools...

Gameplay improvements don't mean anything if you just revert/remove them again several weeks after the game releases because people cry when their cheese doesn't work.

I would really like to see fatigue play a big factor. Damn the dribble gods and half court shots.



Next week will be about badges and takeovers. Red flags to look for is when Mike mentions "balance" any where on the blog. We all know what "balance" means lol

blocked shots going back to the offense 90% of the time

eh...that block by Lopez most likely ended up in Mitchell's hands lol so I wouldn't be surprised in the least if the same problems we have now is going to next gen.

Out of curiosity, of all the next generation games we’ve seen footage for, in your opinion, which looks better than 2K21??

You can't spout **** without providing source. If it's a youtuber then he's not credible since he got it from another youtuber and they love to parrot each other. Did Ronnie2k say this? Even he's prone to getting misinformed. Unless an actual dev says it then I believe it.

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

From what's seen in the trailer and game play. Next gen 2K is definitely running ray tracing.
