#nba2k25 #update
This is kinda disturbing ngl. If this doesnt scream they dont care i dont know what does.. as a New Yorker that switch between both Msgs is just sad..
Folks called me crazy when I said 2K14 looked better than any other 2K
But it did and still does second best graphics 2k21 next gen
16 was the last goat 2k to me
14🐐💯
Greediness has ruined modern sports gaming. The 2005-2016 era was such a goated time for sports gaming…take me back plz
Just want to add I've seen people mention things like "oh, since when do you guys care about graphics?" or "all of a sudden y'all care about how the game looks" "y'all never cared about the graphics" etc. Well, that is because the past 2K's we primarily are focusing on the gameplay because they NEVER get it right. So yes, of course we are going to overlook graphics because gameplay is most important, so if there's always issues with the gameplay in a short 1 year span that is what our focus will be for the entire yearly cycle. It doesn't mean we don't care about the graphics... we do, we just don't have time in the short cycle to overlook the constant issues with the most important aspect of the game which will ALWAYS be GAMEPLAY....
Such a disingenuous thing to say and I've seen PLENTY of TH-camrs with this take... won't say any names...
😂 they're getting worse because 2K has to account for the city😂 too many Assets in the game.
You're correct. They're worried about microtransactions and money
Right disc can only hold so much so the more animations and bull crap they added like riding tigers and mess takes up space so they dumbed down the graphics
@@billywelch4611All that shit doesn’t matter the cpu in the ps5 is able to handle a good amount of stress. The truth is that them niggas at 2k don’t care no more
also the game isn't built from the ground up like they advertise. its just stacked on top of older games. the game is full of like 6 2ks worth of animations and assets
@@AidanBarbs the game still has everything that 2k18
I think he hit it right on the nose. They have spent soo much resources on the city, go cart racing, and city assets that are sold for microtransactions that they sacrificed lighting and textures. I've never played a 2k that hasn't had a city, and it was shocking to see 2k14
I noticed this years ago.
I remember posting videos of 2K14 on my Facebook and everyone would say it looked like a real game, I was even thinking 'imagine this game in 5 years time or 10 years time'..... but it went backwards.
2k14 was the goat of graphics.. 2k16 of gameplay and 2k25 of VC spending
@@tomazjordan8203 all this money they make from microtransactions just to copy and paste the game with minor changes in rosters and player models and jerseys. the game size has also increased with no significant changes in game modes or gameplay. makes you wonder where all this money is going if they just be releasing slop. we desperately need a competitor. here’s hoping gta 6 takes away some of that player base and forcing them to push out a better game!
The jerseys moving and court lighting was elite
Yea, this difference is crazy.. i like the older graphics.. i wouldn't have noticed this... I'm actually upset over this one.. no reason for 2k to have regressed so badly in this area
Damn thats probably why the shut the games down after a few years.. dont want us to notice things like this..
The devs used to make a for the love and happiness of the community, but now they are focus on the money than the actual product, is like a new open restaurant that makes the food with love, in order to bring you joy and happiness. once they get enough customers they just make the food and not focus on that love, joy and happiness they had before, just for the money.
Exactly!
I saw a video the other day and Kobe in 2K14 looked way more realistic than the one on 2K24 and 2K25.
It's kind of sad. 2K14 was the peak of 2K graphics had the community excited for the future.
If we knew this is how the product would evolve I know we wouldn't have believed it at the time.
I don’t remember anyone asking for a “City” ever. Last good 2k was 2k17 with the 3 parks. No city , no driving no go karts. No gym. Just buy Gatorade boost. They need to scrap the city. Game doesn’t need any type of city. Season pass has to go. Proving grounds has to go.
We want 3 OG parks , SUNSET , RIVET , OLD TOWN. they literally have the parks already “ remastered “ in 2K25. Make them the only parks in 2k26 and you instantly load into them. No walking or driving around. 2k needs a new dev team who actually played 16-17. So we can get back to the glory days.
This is wild!! Hope this video gets a ton of traction
I been playing 2k literally from day 1 on Dreamcast..and it’s sad to see how far from grace they’ve fallen..seems like the more money they make from us the less effort they put into the game. This is sad 2k👎🏾👎🏾👎🏾👎🏾
That’s a big difference but yall worried about graphics but the gameplay is horrible. No point in having a good graphic game with bad gameplay
All you have to do is go look at Kobe in player edit on 2k14 vs now… look at the close ups in gameplay in practice mode
This makes me want to play 2k14
I watched this video last week. I’ve been saying this for years. I’m so glad people are talking about it. 2k has been removing layers of graphics for years. At first i thought it was a cut back to enhance gameplay and latency. Since neither of the 2 have improved this video exposes its just pure laziness
The jersey physics in 14 were goated I’ve been saying I wish they would bring that back! Sucks how the community is feeding them money only for them to disappoint and shortcut us even more as the years go on.
Nobody plays the play now anymore so a lot of resources used for graphics back then have now been moved to online play
2k getting the money not worried about us at all just creating a version of BB that gives them the big green window 😂😂😂😂
One looks like a real team designed it and the other looks like chat gpt did it lmao
Gameplay has gotten so much worse w that RNG plaguing 2K. The pay-to-win systems are ludicrous and predatory, the amount of VC that u can earn at the Rec is predatory intentionally. Graphics is the least important issue when u objectively compare it to all the other issues.
I honestly think 2k should have two different teams working on the game like cod has. That way itll give both teams a two year window to make better games instead of the same team tryna find ways to be creative and falling short every year
And this is why I just play older 2k’s feel like I got more for my money
And the worst crowd there crowd gets totally quiet when the game close then gets loud when the home team makes a shot , I hate it
The games follow the work ethtic of the superstars of the time.
During MJ and Kobes reigns, basketball game producers followed the work ethic of the superstars and actually tried to create the best product possible, taking pride in their efforts.
Now that Queen James is the face of the NBA, it's the same thing. Lazy, cheap shortcuts.
I play myteam. Why my guys running out of bounds so much and they sometimes catch a ball in the corner like they’re a newborn giraffe
On the PS5 Pro I’ve noticed increase in graphical fidelity and performance.
not on nba2k25 the game will always run at 30fps and look the same on every console
Facts looks wayy better on the Pro
I bought 2k14 for Xbox one last year and it worked and now my Xbox mysteriously just doesn’t read it anymore but will recognize any other game
2k movement should b like this smooth never threw dum passes out of bounds like that
I was playing Live19 the other day and had this same question.......The 2K finesse is real 🙌🏾🤷🏾♂
THE GAME GETS WORSE & WORSE EVERY YEAR💯💔💔SO MUCH TIME SPENT DEVELOPING THE RNG EOMM ALGORITHM THEY TAKE SHORTCUTS ON GRAPHICS, GAMEPLAY, & DESIGN💯
Nah we can’t even lie, 2k25 graphics is the best and it’s probably because it is the newest 2k. If yall really think 2k14 graphics is good, yall might as well go get on NBA Live.
OnG
They need to focus less on the lighting it’s fuckin up my eyes 😂
I think this video could take a step further… Not only has the graphics regressed , but the overall presentation of the game isn’t the same. Playing play now used to feel like actually watching an NBA broadcast, my career actually felt personally engaging. It was very easy to immerse yourself in the game as if it was a story based single player game. Now 2K is just a cash grab and a sluggish grind.
This pop up purchase story is 100 % true..
I woke up one morning and had some free time and decided to play a little bit I had worked late the previous night so I turned the game on and fell asleep with the remote controller in my hand I accidentally was pressing x while I was sleeping and bought the $49.99 package whatever it was while I was totally asleep because all you have to do is keep hitting x and you'll purchase the package as soon as the game turned on I was beyond pissed
Yes it’s been the graphics you can barely see your hand and I know that contribute to a lot of people missing shots
The graphics don't matter if I no longer care to play. 2k can keep ruining itself. I'm done going back to NBA Live 19
I’ve been saying this for years, I’m sure it’s just cost cutting. 2k14, 2k15 had amazing graphics
Guys...2k doesn't care about these things anymore. They're all about money now. It's no longer the game we grew up loving. Please, don't put any more money into 2k25 and don't pre-order 2k26, or this will never change.
If we didn’t have animated shirts helmets pants short sweaters…. A crowd that you consistently get stuck on… it would probably run way smoother… but them clothes just keep animating… Epic Fail!
Best way is to change color setting on your tv ,
They stopped it after 2k17, i knew it back then... they gotta be using a new engine .. i been saying it to myself... feels good to know everyone noticing.. good vid fam 🔥🔥🔥🙏🏿💯👏👏😎
2k17 was a 1 time engine though
People need to call 2k out on their horrible graphics like they do with the gameplay graphics are just as important as gameplay
Yeah this is why the marketing makes more money did anybody else in 2K. How many they always dress up to commercials before actually showing you the product or giving you the product that's another reason why I'm done
Older versions look better than these new gen iterations that we've got. Even the gameplay is better. 2k needs to switch there engine that they are putting their game on. Its a outdated engine. Just not good anymore.
F2k wouldn't spend all their time figuring out how to make sure that we are never-ending supply of cash with microtransactions or how AI technology and algorithms can help and destroy users flash players we would probably have a great basketball game with great graphics but they can't do it all so they got a sacrifice the quality or the quantity and they definitely don't care about the quality
None of my friends understood why i always said 2k14 had the best graphics of any 2k and the gameplay was so nice too
The presentation of NBA LIVE 19 kills anything that 2k interactive can cook up. We need EA Sports back in the basketball world.
we also need new player models that’s a reason why too
I have the answer we all need for the game we play!
I currently bought 2K14 Xbox One version playing it on my Series X and all the animations move fast and smoother than 2K25 with even a way better skill gap
The 3s court below deck in elite courts is horrible ain’t no lighting at all 😂
2k has becoming more cartoonish since next Gen..graphics could way better but they put all their effort into adding "Fluff" to bloat the game and don't forgot microtransactions.. they definitely are cutting corners at this point..These new games are looking Amazing nowadays..except Sports games. But we know why.. SoftdrinkTv is a legend in the sports gaming space..
For those who dedicate themselves year after year to this, I FEEL FOR YOU, really do. I last dedicated time to this game, 2k20, like many of us during Covid. I would never imagine the NBA, the Players Association and the leadership behind 2k would allow Greed to impact the video NBA Game. We have a Half Time Half Court shot by some random fan in Myteam? Why? Who asked for this? Filers on Myteam? Why? Not one soul in America leaves that filter on, WHY WOULD YOU? Instead of FOCUSING on the actual game of basketball, instead their SOLE FOCUS is figuring out how to get US FANS of NBA to spend money. First VC.... 5 years later, this game is still asking kids to shell out 9000vc for a damn shirt. Lets remember almost all VC rewards are less than 1000. The GRIND and TIME is like a full time job. In part, the seasons they have added. Reason, get us to buy the NEXT UP Pass, they know, most are not buying the GRAND PASS or whatever that shit is called. Myteam NBA Folks need to wake up, Shaq is beloved by kids, BELOVED today. What does 2k do? Use his likeness behind a MASSIVE PAY WALL for the NBA and 2k Xmas Holiday Event, LET THIS SINK IN. Greedy fucks, Barkely is right, they refuse to donate even one million dollars to retired players fund. I do not speak of Mycareer, if no leagues are present in Pro Am for us to join, this game is a joke.. SO this is it for me, 2k has lost me. NBA needs to wake up, they bleed fans, aint attracting NO KIDS thru this game, NONE. Game, I mean CASINO.
Naw I knew I would never forget that trailer Phil Collins
Good video all City bravo 👏🏿 🔥🎮
Don’t wanna get too technical but a lot of games now don’t actually live and run from your console, you basically load up an instance of a cloud server which downloads all of the graphics and gameplay in real time. Call of Duty does this with their warzone maps and it’s one of the reasons they’re able to accomplish cross play, everyone’s just getting access to these server rooms where the game and graphics are actually on. The tradeoff is these server rooms are stupid expensive so in normal 2k fashion they’re paying for the cheapo servers so you get worse graphics. Also you can’t use a trailer to judge the graphics, they literally just up the resolution on the player meshes and ray tracing to make it look way better than actual gameplay. And that’s also why latency is so bad and your internet matters so much more than before. 2k probably cut their spending on servers this season since there’s fewer players on the game which is probably why the latency has been worse this season than it’s ever been.
All money and focus is spent on ads and micro-transactions. Still happy I skipped 25 and at this rate skipping 26 and dropping this game from rotation. 🖕🏼 2K
Can we please tag Mike Wong in this? This is insane.
I just saw a smaller TH-camr do a video like this
I like REALISM… BUT, I’m playing a GAME. It’s not real🥴
PS6 and Next Xbox is going to have insane graphics drop because it won’t run on the same graphic card as the ps5
This isn't just for 2k CFB25 graphics aren't that good either. At one point in time you could walk in the room look at ppl playing the game and you could mistake it for being the real game IRL.
Every arena looks dull. Like it has a yellowish film over it on 2k14
2k has to have the most complaining everyday players I’ve ever seen on a video game lol
Bruh every got damn day. All they do is complain. Its gotta be a trend to get views
I seen that video 1hr after it dropped. Dude goes into intricate detail about every 2k. He not even old enough to had experienced every 2k but it was a damn good video. There's literally no need to watch a reaction. Just watch the damn video. Can't believe i thought this was some new news. That's y i play PlayNow Online only. The community as a whole is just too far behind. Or so new to the game all they do when they play is hunt for exploits and quit lmfao.
The unspoken agreement on reactions is to wait till day 4 before a reaction video, which is why you saw it then, and are now seeing reactions. Soft drinkTV encourages reactions.
Damn how I make it here so early
snow.
I feel like this game runs at 1080p 30 FPS or just 1080p. That’s why it’s so clunky!!
im telling you right now. the PC version is FAR SUPERIOR. the crowd thing i don't notice bc fans are wearing jerseys and all that. the lighting I've noticed when i was watching this video. damn consol players yall down bad. lol. doesn't matter. yall still gonna buy 2k26.
Not to be that guy but I noticed this when they was showing the difference between Kobe in 23 and 24 that 24 look worse
EA, we need you!!
FAMILY I SEE IT , CRAZY 2K14 GRAPHICS WAY BETTER 🤦🤦🤦, TO ROBBED NO SHIESTY NO BLICC🤦🤦
If I were Anthony Edwards, I would be so cut. He looks so bad in 25
Since 2k15 the detail of players have been off
The tattoos are distorted they still haven’t fixed it lol
2k14 on Xbox one was sweet
I feel like 2k got lazier and just want to push the product just to start on the next
2k21 next gen graphics is underrated
All city…next time you play look at the players name while moving when you’re in the top right corner. Tell me if you see what I see.
Gotta stop playing the game to get the changes implemented. Cant just talk about it. Have to find fun and joy in other games or things to get changes. Year over year they make millions because everyone has FOMO! Why change something that is generating revenue regardless of complaints. Supplier don’t determine demand. Customers do.
Westbrook the king of triple doubles only got proper face on nba 2k17.. think 2k16 was alright as well
Man yall are definitely tripping I don’t know what state or tv yall are playing 2k 25 on but 25 graphics are wayy better than than any previous iteration!
2k needs to hire the modder. 😂😂😂
To be completely fair bro, the guy is comparing current league 13 and past league in 25, they are not going to spend the time creating an all new city etc and then all of the crowds in older teams, yes some things are worse, and tobe honest i think 24 was better, but it's a game right
The easy excuse for not much of an upgrade this generation is the Xboxseries S the ram memory is trash
The stars around the lakers at mid court is not in 2k25
2k14 was the goat of graphics , nba 2k16/17,19 of gameplay and nba2k25 is the goat of stealing your money.. the most time i spend in the lab and player builder ever 😂.. and i wasnt playing 2k20/21/22/23 because of vc but i spend it in 25 more than in 19,17,16,15,14 combine.
Try playing on a PS5 on a OLED tv
Everyone 30 plus should not buy the game. Then 2k can see there isnt enough younger people playing to cater to them
2k is getting worse period . 2k interactive is super trash. Take all game titles away from them .
Daily reminder that 2k hasn't had one good game on next gen❤
Dude the graphics is not getting worse it’s next Gen more lighting and more shade they using less graphics because the lack of power of the next Gen consoles 2k can do more with less graphics PS4/Xbox 1 has ruined the next Gen console true power
I told everybody 2k14 is the best 2k of all time 🤷🏾♂️ it’s that simple
Micro transactions have ruined our lives
Eventually they step on the dope and tax you for less quality smfh…
Being negative to get views gotta be a trend...
Bro… it’s CONsoles, not “councils”… you probably got a center council in your car huh… lmao
I thought it was me but I swear PlayStation 4 2k's play better than PlayStation 5S
