Its almost funny to say that if they kept the same graphics and lighting from there earlier games such as 2k6 and 2k7 maybe the jump to next gen wouldnt be as impressive as it is right now. On subject the way they did Durant on current gen is just wrong esp. since he was on the cover last year.

I definitely agree that the lighting and texture resolutions took a hit over time but multiple things were improved upon. Like players starting to look like actual human beings . Haha

Current gen graphs have always been good with the exception of a few players( Durant can be better on current-gen).

both look spot on.

You are right! I have 2k11 where sweat and lighting is in the game.

did durant run into a wall in next gen or something? his face looks way too flat

# 27 RangersCruz @ 10/24/13 03:42 PM

I've been saying this since 2K11.

It's really weird how 2K6 looks almost like real life from certain angles due to its lighting with exception to the bad models and rough animations.

2K11 had probably the best balance of lighting, detail, and likenesses. Then they redid everything in 2K12 and the lighting and skin shaders have looked underwhelming since.

Conspiracy theory-- they made 2K12-14 look worse so next-gen would be a bigger leap. I don't really believe that. But it's weird how the games got less realistic over time.

Anyway, I still think they need to play up the oily reflections on the players. They could afford to be brighter. Sometimes players have skin reflections that are quite bright under arena lights. I don't see that in 2K14 next-gen.

I also thought Durant's next-gen screenshot was a photo at first.

the interesting thing is i was competely satisifed with current gen graphics. i think ill lose my mind after seeing next gen.

# 34 Jakeness23 @ 10/24/13 04:40 PM

Besides the blue looking a bit faded on next-gen (maybe due to angle and lighting), I can't find anything wrong with either picture. It simply looks amazing.

# 35 Jakeness23 @ 10/24/13 04:48 PM

I'm also seeing more and more of the floating jersey, that I thought was gone, but eh.. always next year I suppose.

# 36 ricardo.13 @ 10/24/13 04:50 PM

Both ugly as ****...

# 37 ccoaxum @ 10/24/13 05:04 PM

it looks good when you compare the pictures but i'm sorry durant still needs some more work done on his face.... ray allen is still on point tho nice!

# 38 ccoaxum @ 10/24/13 05:06 PM

crazy part about durant's picutre is that he is doing the exact same look..to the point i feel like they did touch him at all and the power of the new engine and the ability of next gen just added better detail to his face but like i said still needs work smh

# 39 blingballa333 @ 10/24/13 05:08 PM

The textures are so crazy....

Best representation of Durant yet for 2K by far.
