Xbox Series S and X differences?

[Walt Frazier]

Apologies if this has been asked, but does anyone know the clear differences (apart from resolution) about the next gen series S and series X versions?

Does the series S have the multiple hair cut option choice for current NBA players?

The same commentary options (two broadcast teams)

Is everything the 'exact' same?

There are so many versions of this game nowadays I honestly can't keep up

There are only 2 versions of this game: Old Gen for Xbox One, PS4 and PC and Next Gen for Xbox Series "Whatever you wanna call it" and PS5. Why do you think there are differences in hairstyles or the broadcasting teams just because you use worse hardware?!

Why? I have seen random people on social media and youtube say things like the hair changes are not on the Series S and that some things are missing. Would like some confirmation either way...

Everything for series X you can find on series S

The game is the same, you just need to evaluate which one is for you. If you have a 4K TV, if the storage is enough, if you play physical games...

Re: Xbox Series S and X differences?

Thanks for the info fellas.

I am yet to buy a next gen console, but I did just buy a RTX 3070 card so I am going to mainly focus on PC stuff.

I only want a console, literally, for sports games. I have a nice 4K TV (OLED 65 inch) but my son is in that room often and tends to take over.

So, I am thinking of just getting something to hook up to my monitor.

I have a beast of a monitor (Odyssey G9) and there is hardly any room left on my desk. Thus the tiny series S has some appeal

Monitor is great though...

Can you change current NBA players hair styles Rob?

I saw a twitter post from someone who said you could not on the S? Would appreciate it if you could confirm you can

I just checked and Westbrook has different hair styles to choose.

Hopefully, I understand your question. I can go into the edit screen on a player and he has 2 or 3 hairstyles to choose from. However, I was not able to pick any hairstyle. I will go double check that again though.

Re: Xbox Series S and X differences?

Any reports or comparisons if this game looks exactly the same? I had a bad feeling sports games might just take the PS4/One version and polish it up for the S... hope I'm wrong on that.

You are referring to games released only on PS4/One that has been optimized differently on X/S. 2K21 has the same name but current and next gen are different versions. Then regarding the graphics X is better but the game is the same and nothing to do with current gen.

Would you say the graphics are the same for X and S if they are both on 1080p?


I just don't want way worse graphics on the S.
