I'd imagine this'll be mostly unchanged.
The EA basketball games were pretty shit, when they did actually come out and not get cancelled, but I prefer the player movement in those games to 2K's sticky, GTA-like character movement. They've improved it over the last 10 years, but there are still times like I feel that my button presses feel more like .. I'm controlling a puppet on a string than that "I'm the player."
Does anybody know if current gen is 30FPS, 60FPS?
Does this add credence to what dusk said about ps5 frame rate rate issues? Or could this just be the trailer it self?
Wow.... I just went through a nostalgic tunnel.
I remember seeing the 2k14 trailer with Phil Collins for the first time... I said.... DAMNNNN. And I just bought my first basketball game since.... Space Jam for PS1.
Immediately I started watching the league and... after 7 years of hype.... I'm a huge fan of the sport, watching every single game since the playoffs and cheering every single time, thanks to a video game.
And now... we are here saying again.... DAMNNNN... but also..... FUCK 2K AND THOSE MICRO STUPID TRANSACTIONS IN YOUR GAME. I WON'T BUY ANOTHER COPY FOR 70 BUCKS FOR THIS SHIT .....

I have played every NBA 2K game dating back to the OG on Dreamcast. I love basketball and am a big fan of this series. As BadAss2961 just mentioned, single player gameplay is amazing in this series. I can't attest to online as I stopped playing sports games online many years ago. I also usually don't play the story modes, which I know is huge in this game. But this game has a deep franchise mode (dubbed MyLeague) and the gameplay itself is very good, I have no problem justifying the money I spend on this game every year.
It seems that in the career mode, MyPlayer, can lean heavily on paid DLC unless you want to grind and grind and grind...so I think this is where the main criticism of this game comes. But again, I've never played this mode so I can't really comment on it.

What dusk said was about RE8 only he never said other games had problems with PS5 fanboys took what he said out of context to make him look wrong.
60fps, nba2k has always been 60fps since the start of this gen outside of Switch which is technically last gen-ish so it make sense.
Im ... not impressed, honestly, some of the same issues Ive always had are there with the animations and flow. Nice closeups but the difference between the coach and crowd models next to the players is as jarring as usual, even moreso, actually
Plus, the games economy and turn into a microtransaction hell have taken any desire I have to play this straight to the garbage. Gameplay wise I was never a fan either, too complicated to do basic shit.

I probably wouldn't be playing MyPlayer. So that's good. Maybe I'll check this out.
That looks really good. However, this is 2K we're talking about. Will wait on reviews/impressions.
I didn't know the situation was specific to RE 8 but go off
I had close to zero interest in basketball at the time, but when the PS4 launched I bought NBA 2K14 alongside it, just because it was THE visual next-gen showpiece (and, coming from FIFA, the atmosphere and intensity in the arenas blew me away as well). This time around there's at least some competition in the visual department (Miles Morales and especially Demon's Souls).
The only framey segments as far as I could tell were the cutscenes and big crowd camera pans. The gameplay segments seemed like they were running well, and in what looks like 4K, so no I don't think it does at all.
Dusk claimed RE8 was struggling to hit 1080p (though the footage we've seen of it running on PS5 is ironically 4K) and decent frame rates, the gameplay segments from this NBA 2K21 trailer would be 60fps and presumably 4K or close to. So a gargantuan difference.
awesome footage but as long as they don't fix the servers this game is unplayable online. Can't take a single proper shot without considering how laggy your current game is.
Will we finally have 60 fps cutscenes (maybe not judging from the trailer)? I always thought that was a CPU thing because only PC would always be the one support it.
I did the same...and then struck out on getting a PS5 lol. Had to double dip and buy 2K21 again for Series X.
Looks good but performance seems a little rough. Hope they iron that out until release. Wonder how it will perform on the Series S.
Face detail looks good but the facial animation tech looks dated which ups the uncanny valley effect. I know we can't expect face performance capture in a sports game but it just looks weird like highly detailed puppets.
They made Mark Cuban look like a child and Kerr looks made out of play dough.
Also there's no way we'll see a crowd like that in an actual NBA game next season.

They need to fix the animations in all these games. They still awkwardly shamble around going from one pose to the next, gliding around the place rather than look fully grounded in the world. Fix that and the graphics would then feel super impressive. It's just such a huge issue.
As someone who also goes back to the beginning of 2K (and way before that tbh lol), I highly recommend at least trying the MyPlayer and Park modes. I was also a single player, MyCareer/MyGM guy until one day I just decided to create a character and hop in Park (2K16). Got hooked and haven't looked back. I bite the bullet and pay the extra 40 bucks or so to jumpstart my player to 85 OVR, but no more after that.
Even if you don't jumpstart, and come in with a low OVR, I guarantee you it'll be fun at first. But you're gonna get tired of that after awhile and either quit or aim to compete. That's where you might get hooked.
