Lighting has gotten worse since 14 (I don't think there's many people here that are disputing this!), and while graphics in general have improved (player likenesses, skin textures, shoe scans), whether they are "substantial improvements" is debatable. (Not to mention the courts themselves have seen a reduction in quality.)

soooo, y'all saying we need a new gaming system already?

My point is simple.

Who cares?

Seriously why does it matter. 2k15 and it's slightly crappier lighting > almost every other sports game ever.

It's still of this generation. 2k15 looked REALLY good. Anyone who thinks it didn't, go play fifa 15 or 2k13.

Gameplay and gamemodes are what make this replayable. It could be the same graphics for the next 2 years and it would still be on the same level as most other games, that's how great they are. And I don't see why it matters unless they start getting progressively worse.

People are being nit picky. Oh the third hair on Steph Curry's left eyebrow is out of place by at least a 45 degree angle. They scanned his head. If his hair looks crap it's because his hair looked crap on that day. Simple.

Sports games fans are spoiled little punks and I mean ALL fans. I include myself in this. I'm just so tired of all the negativity.

Look at the gap between games in the Mass Effect, Borderlands, Grand Theft Auto or Mafia franchises. Look at how long people have to wait. And sports fans get a new game every year. And if the developers don't reinvent the entire genre every year they're accosted for being lazy or not doing their job right. They have one year to improve on these games. And the depth they add to game modes is unreal. The gameplay always has issues but let's not pretend like it hasn't improved. Yes there's certain aspects from previous games you would like to see return but I dare anyone to go back and play 2k12 and tell me 2k15 doesn't feel and play better.

GTA IV was released in 2008. GTA V (next gen version) in 2014. That's 6 years.

Go back to 2k10 after 2k16 trailers drop and tell me they haven't made an equivalent or maybe even bigger leap graphically than R* did with GTA. Go ahead.

The graphics aren't bad. You could play with these graphics for another couple years and it would be absolutely fine if the gameplay was good enough and the modes had enough depth to them.

Surely I'm not the only person that feels this way?




I love great looking games and there's always room to improve. But that's part of the issue. There will ALWAYS be room to improve. Appreciate what we've got, because not to long ago we were playing with this...

Umm, yeah, that's your opinion, that's fine. But it's clear that a fair amount of people do care about these sort of things. Just because it makes you or others uncomfortable doesn't mean that people shouldn't be allowed to voice their opinion/assessment/observations ... especially when it's in a constructive way. As cthurt said earlier, we all (well, nearly everyone here) play this game, so most people are just pointing out things that [they feel] can make the game better/more realistic for us all. It's not always a thing where we're ripping the game that you know & love, it's not that personal.

Some of these guys cannot accept constructive criticism for 2k. All they want to see is everyone praising the game no matter what. The truth hurts sometimes, you just got to accept it.

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.

What I don't get is OS can have a thread for correct hair styles, something that you wont even take much notice of unless its a cut scene get posted at the top of the board, but when more then a few people say that they don't like 2ks lighting something that's obvious as soon as you play the game its nit picking and ripping the game?


Bottom line is last time I checked 2k wasn't giving the game out for free on a yearly basis so if I or anyone else wants to voice their opinion, about the game that they purchased then let it be.
