20 already looks pretty good on PS5 and it's a PS4 game. I'm sure the PS5 version will look good, but to expect it to look leaps and bounds better than what we have already just isn't realistic. We're at a point of diminishing returns.
Some people won't be satisfied until Fernando Tatis Jr. climbs out of the TV to give them a high five...
NBA 2k21 next version looks substantially better than its last gen counterpart and it had less development time than the show so I’m not buying that

I’m not even upset at sds and still getting it on release day. No doubt the graphics had to be held back for cross play and sds doesn’t have the budget of 2k and madden, I just hope we see a good improvement on franchise and presentation or else this years game will be a letdown. Stadium creator is really cool but it’s just a gimmicky thing to me that doesn’t affect core gameplay

Although to be fair, the arenas in NBA 2K are kind of samey. Ballparks are bigger and have more variety and assets to take care of.

PS5 graphics basically looks like my gaming PC from 7 years ago.

Dude, they literally show next to nothing in that trailer lol. Like they said. They will have gameplay videos highlighting Next Gen graphics and stuff later in March. At least wait for that.

All this anti aliasing and Ambient Occlusion and Resolution Scaling and Reshade and Modding and FOV and Ultrawide support is such a terrible thing to have. Let me just put on my "New Gen Console" and play at forced 16:9 and play at the graphical setting some dev decided is best for me.

How are you making this complaint based off a YouTube video that you watched? This place is starting to remind me why I hate forums, you've got people complaining about a game not even out yet. It's like for some people the fun comes in complaining.

Interesting twitter thread showing game graphic development over the past 60 years. Given how far we've come, it's gonna be REAL hard to innovate anything and have it seem like a "leaps and bounds" improvement.

SDS is that you? I rarely complain and think the gameplay wasn’t trash in last years game that so many like to over exaggerate on but I’m not going to be a blind sheep either and pump out $70 + without pointing out the obvious. I even defended sds when the horde of next gen tech testers were complaining about graphics telling them it was most likely an old build and the graphics would be substantially improved in the final build....I was wrong -

Not here, the tech test forum is gone and so are the surveys

Thanks, I've been searching, I never had the chance to post feedback

The big graphic improvements would likely come in '22, not '21, as there wasn't enough of the new consoles in late '20 and '21 for them to fully optimize the game for them. There is also the global chip shortage slowing down the arrival of more systems, so maybe not a really big graphics boost until '23? Anyway, SDS had to do two big application ports this year, and also cross-play, so they had their hands full this year on the development side. This year they are just laying the foundation and then can optimize the game over the next few years. They deserve big kudos for all the work they did this year, as they had some heavy software development tasks this past year.

You are aware that 2K is a giant studio/producer, right? SDS isn't that big bro...and the 2K crowd will be paying a lot more for their game. They screw everyone over with microtransactions.

This is what I have been trying to tell people. The game really won’t see a next gen upgrade for a couple of years.

It won't take years, but yes, some time. They couldn't make too many big graphic changes this year because the application port so they could have Xbox/Xbox Series S/X, PS4 and PS5 all available was a lot of work. They also cross-play those platforms, and the new platforms are also hard to get, so just releasing the game on all the platforms had to be their first big win. They couldn't add too many features into the new platforms that were not there on the older platforms or people wouldn't see a reason to play if they didn't have a newer system. Get everyone to play this year, then do another big upgrade this year....and I also expect this year is going to be a ton of fun in a completely different way. I definitely think '21 is worth buying, because I think it will be a big win in it's own way.
Coincidentally, no big graphic updates were needed this year, because there are no gaming monitors, and only 2 TV's that would be worth having right now to play the game on in 4k detail. All the 4k new monitors and TV's worth playing the game on won't be out for another 2 - 9 months, so I agree with the development decisions SDS made for '21.
