Graphics?

[Detroit Red]

Maybe I'm just easily impressed but I've always thought the graphics for 2k have been amazing across every generation. Even when players don't look totally accurate they still have highly detailed textured faces, tattoos, hair/facial hair with visible pores and reflective eyes etc. Refs and cheerleaders all look great too considering they're not the focal point.

To have all that with great looking courts and appropriate reflective surfaces and lighting and run at 60fps is a great achievement.

2k18 looks to build on that even if it's not in a major way which is cool, they can only do so much with the hardware they have to work with.

It looks like 2k16 somewhat. Especially that clip with lakers vs celtics.

Haven't the videos all been shaky cam videos with worse resolution than you would get when you play the game? You can' judge the graphiscs from those at all.

I know it will look amazing in 4k hdr

Honestly, I dunno why people expect big graphical changes on annual games. Unless it's a console jump, or the first game after the console released, you won't get much unless its lighting changes or player likeness improvements. Or a 4K jump, now. It's always gonna look roughly the same from year to year aside from what I mentioned.

Yeah I think they're different this year.

These are the only changes people should expect. Player likeness and lighting. They can only change so much year to year on the same console.

- Improved face (with the best eyes and hair I've seen in any 2K)

- Improved sweat patterns / textures

- Much more realistic lighting

- Improved skin textures (including nails and wrinkled areas like knuckles & elbows)

- Improved body and bone structures (shoulders, arms, body shape, hands, veins)
