Next Gen Historic team game look low quality?

[icicle22]

Just got the PS5 and NBA2k21. I am on offline player and I liked what I read about being able to setup custom leagues and such using old historic teams. Being a Cavs fan and wanting to replay some classis Cavs v. Warriors matchups I chose the 15/16 cavaliers vs. 15/16 warriors in a play now matchup and the quality of the graphics looked like a big step down from a current game on the same setup.

The long and short of it was it felt like the historic game was not really using the same engine as the Next Gen version. It looked more like a PS4 game but maybe softer. Is this accurate? It even felt different. I have NBA2k20 on PC and I think it looks better than this historic game feature on PS5. Is this just how it is? I wish I had know if so since I like to play classic games and was looking for the "next gen" polish on them.

Thanks in advance.

Yes, it looks like they forgot about classic teams.
Here od thread with some of this issues. Especially Kobedropped81 post.

I hadn't heard of this but decided to give it a look. Hard to tell what's an upload issue and what's a true visual irregularity. Something does seem kind of off, like the courts are just washed out (which is what I read in the link provided above).





Even the modern classic floors look like they've been zapped of all their vibrancy.

Graphics in this game are really underwhelming especially on the classic team front

I feel something like that too... especially the colors looks a different game. I don't have the same feeling playing with classic teams regarding the graphics.
Maybe the presentation has something to do, as current games has those lights and a more immersive court.

Majority of the classic players on next gen look trash

but 96 jordan and 04 kobe look legit especially with this lighting! But most players faces look dull and inaccurate (besides star pkayers they look good)


I love classic teams i wish they at least filled the teams properly and get rid of the generic players because this has been untouched for many years ! Add more teams and fill the rosters accordingly and complete.

Really hoping someone would drop a classic roster set with complete teams !

I hear we are suppose to be getting another patch this week. Hopefully this patch will solve some of our problems .But im still skipping 2k21 until further notice.

Really? The majority?

Maybe my standards are too low.

I do wish they'd fill the teams with decent generics if they can't obtain licenses though.
