NBA 2K22 vs 2K23 pics (Jordan + WNBA)

The MJ comparison isn’t great cause he didn’t get 22 MJ with sweat, but still gives an idea.

The models for 2k23 are outstanding.

Impressive improvements all around. It seems like they have improved the lighting and shaders and the realism of the eyes are second to none. None of that uncanny valley staring eyes.

Yeah it does seem like that. To be fair I remember people saying the exact same thing about 2K22 vs 21 pics but it seems improvements every year there.

MJ just straight up looks like a picture of MJ.

My ONLY notes on 90’s MJ is his face looks a little puffy in the new one. The old “scan” if you can even call it that did have the more youthful aerodynamic jordan face shape. Though maybe it’s just the angle of the new one giving me that impression. I almost feel like they scanned CURRENT age Jordan and then de aged him. Either way, it’s a massive improvement with Mike.

Jordan's model & skin tone is much better in 23!

Am I tripping or do these screens kinda give off that soft motion picture 2k14 movie lighting?

Example

Initial KD screenshot from last year- Tried to find someone with a similar skin tone





Definitely looks like more of an overhaul than any kind of filter. Interested to see more.

Was this from the XB1/PS4 version of the game? I never played the console version; but if so that looks real doggone good for a game in 2013.

Something feels way off on the neck/shoulder area to me. Maybe it's too thick, not long enough, idk but I keep seeing MJ's face (big improvement) on what looks like it would be Eric Gordon's upper body lol.

It's because the shoulders don't "droop" down enough. Look at the shoulders of NBA 2K23 Rookie Jordan vs his actual photo. Where his traps are at and then the shoulders are just below his traps in real life. On the game his shoulders and traps are level which they shouldn't.

Here’s Booker. Keep in mind the improvements to him are because he finally got a new scan so this isn’t a good graphical comparison. It’s clear the body types are identical to 2K22.

One thing that’s kind of worrisome is the colors look sliiiightly more washed out, or am I just seeing things? I wouldn’t think much of it but 2K22 did such a job of adding more saturation and darkening the ultra washed colors of 2K21, I’d hate to see them going backwards there. But the colors at least seem to look good.

Booker looks much better and the body types does look improved also.

Want to see Tatum, Smart, & Anthon Edwards they didn't look themselves in 2k22

Yup, seems we're back to washed out. However, IF this is to make the classic look - with filter - more accurate and looked a bit washed out then I'm all for it. It seems that colour, hue, saturation, etc. is not just a case of picking and applying the right colour but rather they pick a certain look and have to fit everything within a certain range. Kind of like picking a colour scheme in a Photoshop like software, a palette if you will.

Yup! Extremely impressive. No other 2k from that generation came close to this level of visuals. Id even argue that it looks better than 2k21 (PS5 version)
