I just hope this is a focus for 2K20; It's past time to address this. Particularly disappointing is the attention that things like arena lighting and crowd reactions were given in the initial jump to next gen, and here we are 4 iterations later with the atmosphere looking and sounding as bad as ever. The regression has been very NBA Live-like, which is extremely disappointing coming from 2K. The saving grace to this franchise has been and still is the gameplay. But gameplay alone is not the game. Visuals and ambiance matter.

The update to player models was a very positive step a few years ago and hopefully we will have scanned arenas next. It's time.
