Since the excellent NBA 2K14 next gen, the franchise's graphics have either gotten worse or stayed the same year on year.

Gotta say I disagree. I can't go back to the PS4 games after playing next-gen, the graphical leap is too obvious. Yes they need to improve/actually use full-body scans, but outside of that the graphics are fantastic and definitely not a weak-point for the series.

Yeah I disagree as well. I went back and downloaded 18 and 19 a couple of weeks ago just to see what they looked like in comparison to what 21 and 22 looks like and it's not close. The textures aren't in the same ballpark. All of the players look "ashy" on last gen compared to current gen in my opinion...

I respect your opinion... and in a way I agree. The graphics are better than the last generation.

I just think it could be so much better. For me, we had a big leap from NBA 2K6 to NBA 2K7, as well as from NBA 2K13 to NBA 2K14. That's what I was talking about.

The Xbox Series/PS5 generation only had texture, color and brightness upgrades, but it's the same game, faces, body, exactly the same game as the last generation, you know?

I understand. I know that in that article, Ronnie2k said that now that they've had some time to learn and work with the current gen hardware, that they've been able to fine tune the game. I'm hoping that's the case. I'm interested to know what this "New System" is that he was referring to?

Body models I get, Some of the face models I can understand…I also get we have a Live following here that simply isn’t going to vibe with 2Ks art style regardless…but this about the only place I’ve seen that thinks 2K is a bad looking game..

I feel like 2K22 is one of the better looking current gen games period.

Yeah I know man lol. I'm just hoping. As far as the faces, you can even tell the difference in 23 versus 22 with MJ, Diana, Devin, and Sue Bird. They look better than last year to me. So, at least for me, graphics aren't an issue. They do need to make sure the colors are on point though lol.

Those players all did get new scans though. I’m really hoping they s don’t go back to washed out colors.
