Re: NBA 2K16 Screenshots - Steph Curry, James Harden & Anthony Davis

MikeGSW I understand everything you are trying to say, but I must ask you this, you said the game looks great already right? So will a few guys at OS complaining about the lighting make 2k15 or 2k16 look any different to you?? See this is what I don't understand about some of you, if someone makes a complaint about something that I like about the game it doesn't bother me you know why, because I will still enjoy it, now if we were complaining and wanted something to be removed that you like then that's another story, but people are asking for something to be added to the game and like you said it can always look better so why just settle and stay content.

Re: NBA 2K16 Screenshots - Steph Curry, James Harden & Anthony Davis

I already said the lighting needs to improve and was better in 2k14.

But I don't see why that's being discussed for a gazillion pages.

Person A "The lighting needs improved"
Person B "I prefer the warmer tones"
Person A " each to their own I guess"
Person B "aside from the lighting the game does seem to improve every year though right?
Person A "oh yeah definitely. There's always room for more improvement though"

End of discussion.

Now let's start talking about stuff that will actually influence how long you play the game for and how enjoyable it is... like... oh I don't know. Game modes and the depth of those modes? Gameplay and improvements needed?

Maybe it is just me. I love great looking games but at some point a game just looks great and that's that. Improvements can be made but they're not make or break.

It would be different if it was just a bad looking game but it's not. In the slightest. It looks incredible.

Its a screenshot thread so if we were to talk gameplay we would be told to stay on the topic, so I am not understanding your points.

People have been discussing Curry's hair for 30+ pages. It must be this whole "modern man" and "metrosexual" movement like Glee and Jersey Shore and the other stuff I don't get.

lol, ok man, stop, just stop. Does that make all of us here that cares about fashion like having ill SHOES "metrosexual" too? Do you wear a uniform everyday, aka have no sense of style, jeans and plain white tee? lol

Yeah but if we all thought like that (i.e., "take what they give us, don't point out things that don't look right, because I remember the days when games comprised of a single pixel"), then game designers would be doing whatever they wanted with their games with NO regard for what their consumers feel or want to see in the game. As consumers we don't make the decisions, but they do give some weight to what is being said in the gaming community. 2K Sports more than any other company (such as EA, especially in terms of Madden ) is well known for listening to customer feedback.

And, for the record, I'm no yungin', I've been playing virtual basketball games since Double Dribble, and Jordan vs. Bird

All fair points.

I don't have an issue with constructive criticism. I just think some of this goes way beyond that. It's finding things for the sake of finding things. And I'm confident these guys want to better themselves and get better jobs therefore doing their job well shouldn't be an issue. The major stuff will get fixed. It always does.

I'm not saying settle. I'm saying appreciate what you've got. Don't complain. Give constructive criticism. And just state it and bounce. Lighting and hair doesn't need to be a 30 page debate. I'm with you on the lighting. 2k14 was better in that regard. But that's all that needs to be said. It doesn't need to turn into such a big deal. And I'm talking more about the complaints of ashy elbows and hair being marginally roo spikey or whatever. Like come on. I remember when hair looked painted on. Give me a break. They improve every year with or without people whining.

And it's not constructive criticism if you don't offer a solution or idea on how to make it better. Without that you're just moaning.

And we haven't even seen any video footage yet. People are blowing their brains out over a few screen grabs smh.

It's his hair. One players hair has a 30 page discussion. Seriously? How big an impact is it going to have on the game. Really? It's not like they gave him a ginger dreadlocks. His hair could be improved yes but its pretty close. People should just be saying "his hair looks a little off but whatever". It shouldn't be a 48 hour discussion or brainstorming session.

I don't get it.

I guess it's just me.

I understand and your right it has blown up over the past few days, but some of the same guys complaining about hair and ashy elbows are the,same ones saying guys like me are nit picking about the lighting. Lol

Knowing 2k they won't really listen unless we make it loud. Look at the fate of crew. How many years did it take for 2k to finally bring it back even though there were many shouting and screaming for it over a while? If we keep quiet then 2k will not know exactly what to improve on. It's not as simple as you are making it seem.

Hahaha. Okay you got me. I'm saying why has three still images generated 30 pages of people bitching? Like how long can we discuss Stephen Curry's pubes or whatever we're onto now.

This topic should have ended 20 pages ago with everyone agreeing it looks awesome. Lighting needs work but that depends on preference (whether you like the warmer tones) and Curry's hair needs fixed a little.

Can't wait for video.

Why has THAT^ taken 30+ pages and we're still not there yet.

I don't get it. Sorry. Clearly I'm in the minority here. Might actually be the only one. But I can't wrap my head around why a dudes hair gets a 30 page discussion while threads about actual basketball related stuff barely cracks 10 pages.

Are we basketball fans or hair stylists?

I disagree with that. They took crew out because it was broken. Seven footers everywhere and cheese galore. They said they would bring it back when they could find a way to make it work.

Yes they do listen to the fans and there's a lot of stuff they've listened to and implemented well.

But they do not need thousands of people telling them Stephen Curry's hair ain't all that.

Look my man Im not saying you are wrong for feeling how you feel, you have made some good points, but its nothing for you to understand lol people will feel how they feel about certain things in different ways its life.

Just start a "Let's Talk About Lighting" thread then man....no need to go on for 10 pages saying different versions of the same thing in here...

Oh I know that. They're just as much to blame as anyone. Hell now I'm involved. I've kept this stupid discussion alive for another three pages smh.

People are just hungry for info I guess. Thirsty for anything 2k will give them and scrutinising it like they're trying to solve a murder or something.

I get the thirst for details. But I still don't get why a 5 minute discussion has lasted 30 pages hahaha

Re: NBA 2K16 Screenshots - Steph Curry, James Harden & Anthony Davis

It doesn't make me uncomfortable I just think it's absolutely pathetic. People don't appreciate how incredible these graphics are. Maybe it's because they're young so didn't suffer through the games a lot of people on here did. But it just seems to me like people have no understanding of how mind blowing today's stuff is. These are the graphics I dreamed of as a youngster.

I'm 40...so I grew up on Atari and Nintendo. And I think the lighting in 2K15, and now 2K16, stinks. How about that?


Yes, the graphics still look damn good. Nobody is questioning that. But if they can look even better, with better lighting, why in the heck would they not do it??


And the reason people are bothered by it is because they had MUCH better lighting 2 years ago!!!


NO EXCUSES!

Right. But you've said all that needs to be said in one post. So why is it still being discussed 30 pages later?

It's lighting. It looked better in 2k14. I agree.

But does the lighting in 2k15 stop you from playing it? Nah.

Again. Constructive criticism. Say what you believe can be better. Say how it could be improved, as specific as possible. Discuss a little and then that's it.

30 pages? 30 freaking pages?

Also I already clarified I'm talking more about the nit picky things than the lighting.

It's a message board. It's how things work. People discuss and debate.


And guess what, we have to be "loud" about this. People have been complaining about the lighting in 2k15 since it was released. On here, Twitter, Facebook. And 2K did absolutely NOTHING about it. That's a joke, period.
