It's because 2K hardly deletes any unique assets. Like, I have no idea if Shelden Williams is still in the game (like on a historic team or draft class), but I guarantee that every bit of commentary they recorded for him is still there, as is his cyberface. There's even Barkley commentary:



Kind of a good thing for modding, to be honest, since we can unlock/use all that stuff, but it does make it pretty bloated (pointlessly bloated as far as console is concerned).

yeah for some reason their court colors just get worse and worse, I imagine one day they will go back to fixing it and will call it a new feature

Re: Graphics comparison: 2K23 vs 2K25

In the gameplay clips that some YouTubers are just now dropping, the game looks surprisingly good. Like I’m kinda shocked at it, I’d say go on YouTube now and compare to some of the newer videos. Point could still be valid but the game definitely looks better than 24.

I will say, objectively 25 looks better than 24. I’d argue, way better.

I mean, NBA Live 95 probably looks better than 2K24 as well lol.

Obvious hyperbole, but 2K24 is probably the ugliest video game I’ve seen in a long time, period. 25 looking much better than it, but still looking considerably worse than 2K23 at least in the screen grabs I posted, says a lot.

I don’t follow any of those guys, can you link one? I’d be happy to compare.

I think this has been mentioned a million times, but folks act like that can't comprehend that point.

As much as I would love ray tracing or the level of lighting that previous gen 2K had, it would come at the cost of a smooth frame rate and the game being jittery again. No thanks.

Hopefully the lighting/graphics obsessed folks can move over to PC where you aren't constrained by 'underpowered' console gaming architecture.

Just took these off some live vids. The 2K23 pics aren’t even from HD videos I believe.

25 is the top pics.
