I think.. maybe graphics are better on 2K21….(?)

[AIRJ23]

So I got 2K22 last night. Went back and forth between games. No question gameplay is better now.

But graphics?

The one thing 2K22 absolutely improves on is jersey colors. Namely red and yellow.

But COURT colors clearly go to 2K21 I’m starting to think. Wood is way too washed out in 2K22. Also player skin colors/texture seems better on 21 for some players? 22 has some players too dark for example.

Check this comparison video out. Lakers court seems far more accurate in 21. The purple key is actually purple. In 22 it’s way too dark, yet the wood is way too cold/light and therefore not as textured as in 21. The one improvement on the Lakers court is the yellow in 22.

Player models look better on some in 21. Maybe I’m trippin. But I’m not the only one.

You watch the comparison video?

Maybe I’m crazy, maybe I’m just too used to 21 and I’m reacting to the very slight graphical (lighting) changes just being too new, but several people who see the comparisons seem to agree.

After playing 2K22 more (once they add Broadcast to MyNBA) my opinion can certainly change.

I mean, other than lighting changes, in reality, graphics are pretty much if not literally identical.

Google the Lakers court.. you’ll see that 2k22 is the more accurate.

You’re prob right.

The purple key is a tossup as it borders on navy blue in 22. I feel the more purple purple on 21 is more accurate.

The wood is a bit light in person so maybe 22 is accurate there. I’m a sucker for a warm/detailed wood and I feel 21 delivers a bit more there. Be it more realistic or not.

Hopefully I’m trippin and just need more time playing 22 to acclimate to the various lighting differences. Darker skin players so far may look less dynamic as the new lighting makes them too dark. But again, more playing time might re-acclimate that perception.

Jerseys are mostly spot on now, that’s for sure. 21 red jerseys look horrendous in comparison.

Also I feel player editor graphics on 22 look more low res (and you can’t even see close up player faces).

And 22’s “choose your team” menu on PN and MyNBA looks HORRIBLE. Like PS3 graphics. Players look blurry and insanely low res. And I know I ain’t the only one there as plenty of YouTube videos by regular players have pointed that out. 21’s team choosing menu I find way more elegant, sharp and high res.

Nice. United also feels just right.

I swear you've said the same thing in a few threads already. Why make a new one just to state the same thing you've already said elsewhere?

I like it more 2K21 floors, but player models, look really nice on 2K22.

I swear I was thinking the samething! The graphics for this game do not feel next gen like to me. There is no graphic difference from PS5 2k21 to PS4 2k21. I think they toned down the graphics probably because it will cost them more to run higher quality graphics. I also don’t like how in MyNBA you can’t do player training. So far to me this game to me is not worth 70 dollars at all!

Glad I’m not the only one. Especially the choose team screen, graphics and presentation look 2010. Horrible.

I’m hoping once I really play it more the overall vibe and gameplay will highlight its other improvements.

But oops. I can’t play it yet because they removed Broadcast from MyNBA which is the only camera and section I play.
