That actually doesn't look too shabby. Clearly the next gen is legit, but I think I might feel alright if I just end up passing on the $500 new machine for now and pick up current gen 2K14 somewhere down the line this season.

Actually it is shabby. Why are Jeff Teague and Kyle Korver the same size as Josh Smith and Al Horford?

Next gen almost looks better than reality in that picture.

It looks New Genish. Effects are overdone. Trust me 2K15 will make this screenshot look really old next year.

It's always like that lol

Current gen court does look better. I think colors maybe overdone on current gen though.

Player models, jersey ripples, look nice on next Gen though.

why does the player models look to big for the court on the next gen version? The colors of the court is off too.

I have no idea where people are seeing that the players look too big for the court.

It's always been that way for 2K, though. Thats why when it came to court spacing, Live felt more realistic, minus their player movements. They never really nailed colors in their games, but have made improvements from previous games. There are still more to make, hopefully they get it right this new generation

The players are the same size as the real screenshot.. I'm a complainer but not a not picker. The size is fine, can't everyone just be happy about something?

I don't mean this in a "I am disappoint" type of way, because the photo is incredible, but where are the cameramen on the baseline? It looks strangely bare around that way.

I would hold out for the final cut of the game to see cameramen and/or more coaches... In the twitter from os yesterday he mentioned seeing the detail on the cameramen... I always hope cameramen are included as it adds to the packed feeling of the arena and the realism of course... I'm sure they r detailed like everything else too

The only necessary improvement is to dim the reflection of light on the court. Otherwise, it looks pretty spot on from dimensions of court, player size relative to court, court colors(compare with hi-res real picture) etc.

I actually like the NBA2k14 next gen scoreboard than the ESPN's.

Re: NBA 2k14 Screenshot Comparison - Broadcast Camera: Next Gen vs Real Life

wow.. honestly.. the next gen looks realer then the real ones lol..

but the colors are better on Current IMO.. also what i dont like and also saw in the vido is the Backnumbers.. they're 1: too small and 2nd to high.. that look like a NBA Live back

Re: NBA 2k14 Screenshot Comparison - Broadcast Camera: Next Gen vs Real Life

The reflections and lighting in Next Gen are leaps and bounds better than current gen. Just take a look at the reflections on the CG court. See how bright they are?

The next gen version looks really good. I like the look of the current gen as well. I bought the current gen version and I am inclined to wait till 2k15 drops. I think we will all be blown away by another year of development on the next gen consoles.

I want to revisit this thread again once we see a screenshot of 2k15.

Hilarious that people can still be trashing the next gen graphics. Even by the year 3983 you guys will still complain because no matter how real it gets it will never be real life.

From a faux philosophical standpoint, people's feelings on these PS4/XBox One graphics are fascinating. It's almost just as interesting to hear some people talk about the XBox 360 graphics now, as if they were created with 8-bit technology. In the end, the skeptics may always been correct.

You know where these exact conversations already occurred (how lame old gen looks and how real-to-life next gen looks)? The last time we switched from one generation to the next (PS2 to PS3). To see how goo-goo people were for 360 and PS4 graphics of 2K back then, you'd have a hard time believing anyone would be able to trash those graphics in the manner people are doing now.

I think the old generation graphics are good. I think the next generation graphics are better. But I don't doubt we'll be looking back on 2K14 eight years from now and laughing and criticizing in the same manner we're currently doing with last gen graphics. We'll laugh at 2K's inability to put warmups on players, fill the baseline with cameramen, and prevent Klay Thompson from performing a glitchy half spin when drifting to the corner.

I think it's all relative. We should appreciate what we have, but I don't think that means it should be immune to criticism.
