You can see the reflections are much more subdued in the MSG broadcast at 6:29, similar to how things look in 2K15. https://youtu.be/TxTN8rnlKOQ?t=6m29s Brooklyn's is pretty bright though, due to their dark wood and lower angle. Same is true to an extent of Boston and Charlotte. Denver's wood and lighting are so bright that there are hardly any reflections visible. LAC, GSW, and most other arenas lie something between the two. So something between 2K14 and 15 would be pretty accurate for most arenas. Would be even better if the material fresnel channel was properly adjusted for each floor.

I agree with most of what you are saying and I agree that it depends on the angle and height of the camera, but if you look at the Celtics stadium at 1:28, it was at a high angle, and the reflections were very visible. But I do completely agree with 2k using a blend of 2k14 and 2k15.

Like I mentioned, the Celtics have a unique darker floor so the reflections show similarly to Brooklyn's. TD Gardens also seems to have a rougher floor finish. If 2K has floor specific gloss/roughness and specular/fresnel channels for unique floors like Boston and maybe Brooklyn, that would be very, very nice.

Yep they are playing on parquet flooring. I think it may be the same from the Original Garden.

[WTF]

I hope to heck that they fix Brooklyns floor this year. Please, unlike chipped teeth or hair at the broadcast level, the floor is hard to look past lol.
