NBA 2K14 is probably the one game of the next gen line-up to have received massive and unanimous praises for its amazingly realistic graphics. Here is a new video if you need more convincing. To think it's only the beginning.
I was not that impressed before, this trailer did not knock me off my feet, but it sure as hell sparked my interest. It is very nice, graphically not a big leep but the animation does look really good at times.
I still would prefer to see real in-game footage and not replay/slow-motion. That would be the perfect benchmark for me to judge the game's progress from PS3/X360 to PS4.
hmm trebby you must be partially sighted to not see there is a huge graphics leap from the last one to this one BUT i will say there is only so much detail your going to see in games like this where during actual gameplay the camera is far back like it is
its the same for fifa the ps4 version looks better but you wont see as much during gameplay beause the camera has to be far back to see most of the pitch and players
the likenesses of the players still has the uncanny valley, but we're getting closer. What really impresses me are the animations.. they have absolutely nailed each players shooting stroke and mannerisms

i agree, when they showed the slowed down clips of the balls bouncing on the floor and the way the players hands move with the ball etc etc was pretty stunnning even the players feet how they stick to the floor more if you know what i mean
in current gen games the foot movements are not very natural and often float etc

Dear 2k
Please make a football game.(Not the American shite)
Ta.
Yeah, a 2K football game would be great....some competition for Madden like the good old days. Not sure why anyone would make another 3 hour ball passing/deflecting simulator though, we already have PES and FIFA. I guess maybe better flop animations?
I have to admit, its a little disappointing that the most "next gen" looking game is a simple yearly update to a long running sports franchise. Not that 2k didn't put a lot of hard work into this, but the fact that it looks quite a bit better than all the exclusives graphically is pretty sad imo.
On a high note, it makes me really excited to see what we will see from games like The Show and upcoming UFC games.

That's a very unfair comparison. Show me a next-gen exclusive with only a few character models in a tiny environment that doesn't look as good as this basketball game?

No it's called football, because its a sport that you play by manoeuvring a ball using your feet, unlike that strange american sport where steroid pumped men in tights run around with ball in their arms and pile up in big bum buddy piles every five seconds.

LOL...I dout even that would change your young mind. You probably don't play sports games or even in real life. So now go ahead and get mad and say something childish.

And yes, that is mostly what football has become, the referees lap it up so long as it isn't in the penalty box.
When you're in the penalty box however, in order to have anything given, it's a severed limb or nothing which should be the case all over the pitch.
