    Those clips/vids from the 2nd blog don’t look next-gen now. Kind of disappointing after the initial next-gen trailer tbh

        It doesn't help that some players are using the old face scans, but the lighting and details are better.

          I just hate the look of the blacked out arenas. Only a few look like that on tv, and in person they don't look like that at all. Really takes away from the atmosphere.

            I just don’t like the art direction, it looks more animated/cartoonish than life-like IMO. Perhaps my expectations for next-gen graphics are too high.

                  dont you blame my vision for saying that on another threat.
                  It seems 3D models and textures are the same used on current gen for most of the players we saw.
                  the lighting, the effects gives you the impression there's more details but i'm pretty sure that players textures are the same.

                    Well you can obviously see the difference when the players are using the next gen quality face scan and saying that those don't look good is silly.

                      What's silly is to mix old textures and new ones.

                      I mean, except Zion's trailer, and Curry faces, i dont see any improvment.

                      i'm not even sure that we'll see Klay (or any other player) make a wink

                        If you look at all the players that were updated in the last patch that'll give you an idea.

                          I think this game looks pretty great and will likely look even better playing on a 4k HDR TV. The pandemic also didn't help as 2K wasn't able to do all the scans they would have done in a normal year. And it might not just apply to faces but perhaps bodies and even arenas too. We really don't know the extent of who or what they were able to scan compared to who or what they would have scanned had it been a normal year.

                            My concern is that the current gen MODS look better than the next gen graphics. Look at this https://www.forbes.com/sites/brianmazique/2020/10/13/nba-2k21-modders-are-delivering-an-enhanced-experience-for-pc-users/#9efa82020ac9

                              This was already disproven and link isn’t working g. Next gen clearly looks better . Let’s stop this nonsense . Gameplay concerns are one thing . Visuals are another . The lighting , color , is better . Player models are more lifelike . If y’all can’t see that on your 720p big back sets idk what to tell you.
