2k11 vs. 2k12 Video Comparison HD

Re: 2k11 vs. 2k12 Video Comparison HD

Point of the Comparison: To display what the game should look like by default! Using mods as a comparison is to display what the graphics, colors, details and overall authenticity of each team, player, arena and more should look like by default out the box.

Note: This is not a PC vs 360 thread or comparison! It's to display the changes that should be made to look more like the real thing.

Even if you're not trying to comparing PC vs 360, it's unfair to say that the "graphics, colors, details and overall authenticity" of the game out of the box should look like the modded PC version. Remember that the 360 game out in 2005, six years ago. There's simply no way that the console version of game out the box can look like the modded PC version due to the hardware constraints.

Should it look like the PC version? Yes of course, a better looking game with more realistic players, crowds, arenas, etc would obviously appeal to everyone.

But can it look like the PC version, with all the graphics and details that modders add in? Probably not for 360/PS3 users.

The only way would be if 2K released 2 versions of the game, with better graphics on the PC version with higher system requirements. But considering the fact that the majority of 2k customers are on 360/PS3 since most PC users pirate 2k11, the 2k team probably won't bother.

Re: 2k11 vs. 2k12 Video Comparison HD

i think it can. none of the pc mods add any more strain to the cpu/gpu. not a single fps drop except when using enb.

hell a lot of "mods" are simply opening the appropriate dds with photoshop, add some sharpen, adjust brightness/contrast, add a new tattoo and some fingerstraps, save and done.

faces? there is no addition of meshes/polygons. open the 3d model and tweak the facial lines, save. done. adjust face texture to fit the new skeleton.

if anything, it's money, time and resources that's keeping 2k from making their game look like the modified pc version. the only "performance limitation" of consoles is higher resolution, higher-res textures (pc mods use default res textures), aa, af, and enb.

but of course if the default came like that pc modders will always find ways to "make it better" :o

Actually the 360 is more than capable of doing what the PC does, I just think the efforts need to be made. Consoles even get the cool menus and the awesome online. PC has single player galore and Association, but online is poo!!!! If we were on Windows Live hopefully we could get some consistent servers.

Also 2ksports fan, who take part in modding nation, we buy the game we don't pirate it! And as fan, we try to support the company so we can see better PC efforts and titles....Top Spin would be nice 2k....but that's another story...

As you can see from the attach image...pirating is not an option, especially in my house and a lot of other fans of this series will agree....

Hey BS how do you know what 360 is capable of? We can test our comps but we can't mod 360 games, so how do you know how far can they go? I would like to see how would '05 computer fare with your mod.

Looking at the one of the screen shots on the demo after you finish a game, they have the Celtics paint color right. Now I'm sure there must be a valid reason why it looks like it does in game.

Re: 2k11 vs. 2k12 Video Comparison HD

nba 2k11 looks insane with the mods, but business is business. No need for 2k to max out the graphics when they can make small updates every year and have the community go coocooo for coco puffs when the demo is released. That way they can extend the engine longer, and make more money. Next year, they will probably add some more lighting, and maybe another texture here and there. Add a head nod animation. Maybe a Wesley snipes juke move in the paint. And BAM everyone goes nuts. Thats really all you need if you think about it. Could it look better on the 360? of course. There isn't much going on, on the screen, graphically, that will kill their fps on the 360. Maybe add a bit more reflection on the court, or sharpen the floor textures a bit. Shouldn't make the game fall to its knees.

Damn I miss those 2k9 walk up animations. That was so awesome!!

Another thing i wanted to add is the moving shadows/shaders on jerseys on the 360 version. I don't know why they wont add this on PC.... because without it, the whole masterpiece seems incomplete. And, the more I look at it without the moving shadows, the more weird its starting to look.

Why would it be closed, because you don't agree on it....Don't post then....SMH

Why do people get so defensive when negative stuff is pointed out in a title, but we can praise all the good stuff. And no one comments or disagrees...I don't get it.

Calm down, you bumped your own thread for what? I doubt anyone is or was thinking about this thread. Your the one with the negativity and putting words in my mouth, I never said that I didn't agree. I just don't agree with comparing a console game to a modded version, it's not logical. If you read all my post which i doubt, you will see that i speak facts about 2k11 and 2k. For what ever reason all the post I've have seen from you are just negative to Pared and this community you need to take a breath and that is all I have to say to you.
