2k16 Arena Specific Lights Missing?

[mauro78]

I originally posted this in PC forum becouse I think was PC problem but I saw same problem on PS4 XB1. Let me say 2k16 is a masterpiece but......something is missing from arena lighting IMHO

2k15


2k16


Real Life



"If you attended a Kings game this preseason, you'll have noticed that the new lights create an effect similar to the Lakers' own theatrical lighting, by focusing on the game action and dimming lights on the crowd. The Clippers' lighting won't be quite as dark in the crowd, though; according to Zeidman, this is due to the NBA's guidelines for LED lighting, which differ from the requirements for arenas with more traditional lighting systems."

Leftos or LD2K (Huge Lakers fan AFAIK) can you please tell us if this is a BUG or not?
PS4 has the same problem on Staples Center and Madison Square Garden...

If yes I want to report that to devs....no reasons to remove that beautiful light effect....

Man I thought I was the only one who noticed this type of stuff! I think the Lakers, Knicks, and Nets (and now the Kings?) use the theater lighting. I think it's most pronounced at Nets games as their games really really look different in an awesome way on TV.

Hope they can patch this, I'm all about the realism.

MSG also looks brighter than other courts when it should actually be darker. Really bizarre. And they had this right previous year's oddly.

If you pause the game "Theather Light" is visible and yes It was in 2k15 so please patch this 2K....we love your game but this a big miss for Knicks / Lakers / Kings fans...

Speaking of lights, the Atlanta Hawks intro is phenomenal. I've never been to Atlanta so I didn't know they had such a cool intro show.

But on subject, I don't think the Knicks or Lakers theatre lighting was in 2k15 either.

It's never really been in tbh, 2k just has really bad crowd lighting. It's never accurate whether it's not being dark enough in the theater type settings or not bright enough in most other arenas.

Hmm. I always just assumed 2K only had theater lighting and they just kind of applied that to all the other courts.

That shot of 2K15 is pretty close to how it should be for the darker arenas.

Not a "True Theater" but 2k15 was kind of right...2k16 arenas (Lakers & Knicks) is full lit during the game which is innacurate at best.....LD2K is a huge Lakers fan hope this will help to getting patched.....

Re: 2k16 Arena Specific Lights Missing?

If you play 94-95 Knicks you'll have "dimmed" lights so it's in the game...can we get some official words from 2k?

Re: 2k16 Arena Specific Lights Missing?

I wouldn't mind the lights being on if they had updated the stadiums, especially the upper levels. It looks like most (if not all) have not been touched since last gen.

Since 2k seeks realism I think they should go back and make crowd light lower....not for every stadium of course ^_^

Honestly bro playing at MSG or Staples right now is like playing on every other arena which is unrealistic at best

Re: 2k16 Arena Specific Lights Missing?

Any update Mike/Leftos/LD2k?

Will patch 3 correct arena lights?

Re: 2k16 Arena Specific Lights Missing?

Has anyone noticed how wrong the 85-86 Celtics court is? Not just the colours of the court, but the lighting is dreadfully bad. It's like you're playing with half the lights blown out.
