NBA 2K14 Current vs. Next Gen: Night and Day Comparison


When the PS4 and Xbox One were still being teased earlier this year, I was excited to see a major leap in graphics. I wanted to be amazed by the intense photorealism and upgrade in the graphics department. I figured that there would be a huge change since both companies are selling new consoles.

However, I was disappointed when I only noticed a subtle difference between current-generation and next-generation graphics. Yes, the next-gen games are prettier but it wasn’t something that truly floored me.

NBA 2K14 on next-generation is a different case altogether. The graphics comparison is literally like night and day. I know I did a post on this game last week, but this time I’m focusing on the graphics.

Are you ready to see the difference between current and next-gen?

Yes, now I feel like crap for buying NBA 2K14 on the PC. I thought that it was going to have the same graphics level as next-gen since you know it’s the PC for crying out loud. I was wrong since it used the same engine as the one used for current-gen. While the next-gen graphics is similar to what Battlefield or Killzone might look like, it’s still a big leap for the franchise itself in terms of improvements. If you checked out the video above, everything from facial expressions, fabric, and sweat is given much detail.

Here’s what the leap looks like for games like Call of Duty: Ghost

It might take a few years before we gamers can see the true capability of next-gen consoles. For now, I guess we can rely on sports games for a “leap” in graphical quality. The next-gen versions of FIFA and Madden are also using a different engine (IGNITE engine from EA) from their current-gen counterparts. It’s definitely a lot more detail than CoD but not as much as NBA 2K14.

So I played my first couple MyTeam online games today and the gameplay difficulty must be on rookie, because the final score was in the triple digits and everybody hit everything. What a joke...
 
Just got the game started up on PS4.

- Is 2KShare gone? I really hope the ability to download rosters/created players/draft classes isn't gone.
- Is Create-A-Player gone? Can't seem to figure out how to do it.
 
Watched some gameplay of my career on the ps4. It's amazing. It's crazy the amount of detail they put in.
 
I pre-ordered it on amazon. I will get getting it next wednesday :(

I am pretty excited to play it though, videos on it look awesome!
 
I just got the game on my PS4. Going to play a few others first, but add me. Servers for EA seem stable so far so hopefully 2K will be just as good. Kunaal23 is my psn id.

Dude tell us more, this game looks fucking ridiculous! I'm gonna have to start selling some of my posessions to get a PS4
 
Got a question for yall. In my career, how come nobody fucking shoots the ball when I pass it to them? They could be wide open and they'll just protect the ball and pass it back. I'm a PG with maxed out passing and the dimer sig skill but it makes no difference. Because of that, I only get about 4 assists a game when I should get way more. Plus speed is still an issue. My dude is 90 in speed but Marc Gasol was able to stay with me step for step on a fastbreak.

If you're on player lock you have to hit X (or the shoot button) once the CPU player catches the ball to tell them to shot

Also sliders are key
 
Anyone seen Live 14?

Looks terrible. Absolute garbage. I've seen PS2 games look better than that.

IGN gave it a 4.3 :chuckles:
