NBA 2K21 Next-Gen Gameplay Video with the Developers - New Game Modes & Features to be Revealed Thursday

Re: NBA 2K21 Next-Gen Video From the Developers

Foot planting is noticable right away for me, player movement looks good. Curry step back looked authentic.

Zion lob looked great, but as an employee of an NBA arena I have to say the crowd atmosphere is always so disappointing in this game. Not even on ps5 can we get 10 fans to cheer about anything on the court. It truly boggles my mind.

Overall it will look and feel a bit different, but this "built from the ground up" I've heard before. Doesnt appear that much has changed, but we will see.

Couple things I noticed out the gate

- Shot Feedback still doesn’t show BOTH aim and timing in regular modes, assume it will be like that for shoot around as well.

- Jrue got sucked back onto that screen from Draymond

- PnR defense looked soft on that alley oop but I think that’s more on the user getting switched to the help man and not moving. Draymond did a pretty good job alone on the last and 1.

- Zion getting stuck running in place right before the and 1

Hopefully by 2k22 the slouched posture players default into gets cleaned up, things look so much better when players are standing straight when idle.

I am so ready for this game. November 12th can't come soon enough. I haven't even thought about touching PS4 2K21

Contact lob by Zion over Steph, and the crowd goes mild...

I guess next gen has its limits.

Hmm interesting. Are Ryan Anderson and Grant Hill a crew in real life? Pretty sure I've heard Grant Hill on a broadcast before but not sure about Anderson.

I know Grant Hill does a little bit of broadcasting and does analyst work. Ryan Anderson caught me off guard, though. I cant find anything on him being commentator.

Re: NBA 2K21 Next-Gen Video From the Developers

Not this "I don't expect a perfect game" stuff again. No one does. This is a strawman. People are criticizing this game, because they feel it's not worth the price of admission, simple. If it was on current gen, cool, but we expected a lot more on next-gen. We're not getting it. And please don't tell us to temper our expectations. It's the PS5. It's completely reasonable to be expecting more than we've seen.

No...the way people be complaining around here they WERE expecting every damn legacy issue to be addressed and EVERY player model to be spot on. So no, I disagree with your assessment that people weren't expecting some phenomenal leap in graphics and gameplay. My expectations were tempered a long time ago due to COVID-19 and most developers are working from home now. I work from home myself, so I know FOR FACT that the experience and resources available to you is no where near like it would be in the actual building. If we didn't have a pandemic happening, then yes...I would be expecting more, because they could have 100% dedicated time and effort to the current AND next-gen games.

Defenses to be reviewed, perhaps because they were played at a low level

Re: NBA 2K21 Next-Gen Video From the Developers

Nice improvement but why the crowd so dead and why no Live crowd audio still lacking?

Crowd is terrible again....

Anyone here actually been to a real-life NBA game? Most people are not in their seats before the game starts period, and second, no one is jumping out of their seat 2 minutes into a game.

I get that, but, a Zion contact alley-oop dunk and the crowd will lose their minds even if its 2 seconds into the game

Re: NBA 2K21 Next-Gen Video From the Developers

I’m just not a fan of the movement and foot planting


Ever since 2K17 or 2k18 The player movement has been really bad.

Not necessarily true, but I have noticed that people who don't have pre-orders tended to be the loudest (not just here) about what they don't like. It's almost like they're trashing on next-gen games and consoles to feel good about still owning their XB1 or PS4.



Take me for example...I'm just excited about the no/short loading screens, but the graphics look fine to me. However, I'm not one those people who expect "perfection" when it comes game art and movement. As long as it looks and plays good 99% of the time, I'm good to go. I have yet to play the "perfect" game.

You are their favorite type of consumer. “Looks fine”, “excited about no loading times”. You’re loyal to 2k, I’ll give you that.

I have a preorder, and game looks ok, but it just doesn’t have the wow factor the way last gen did. Maybe it’ll be a good game, but rn, looks like a minimal upgrade given all of the power of the ps5.

Re: NBA 2K21 Next-Gen Video From the Developers

Animation quality has taken a major hit since NBA 2K16 and its no different here in next gen. However, the game does look good graphically, but I'd be lying if I said I wasn't disappointed with this gameplay.

My exact thoughts. In 2k16 the movement and foot planting felt much better than 2k17 -2k20


It’s so weird that they downgraded that aspect and never improved it

That dude just responds to every negative 2k comment on these forums for some reason. Like any valid complaint ppl have, gets a reply. I think he might be on 2k’s payroll or something.

I think we asked for something like this years ago. Having different commentators for different venues. It's a good start! Maybe in the future they can have Dan Stevens and Peter O'Keefe back commentating! I know 2k is in development for a football game and they will most likely be there but it would be nice hearing those two commentating in a basketball game.


I know Peter O'Keefe is the tutorial voice for NBA2k.
