Skin texture and Jersey physics have been the major problems in recent years. Player skin almost looks more plasticky or animated and Jersey physics are almost nonexistent m
I started to notice that as well too after 2k20 the graphics don’t look as shiny as it used to be. 2k14 also felt more freedom and doesn’t feel forced when u move around. I’d say anything after 2K20, they’ve gone downhill.
I'm speachless. For a sports game in 2014 it looks unbelievable. Most of the time it looks different but often just as good as the new one. It's especially strange how players lost all detail in their skin which looks like plastic in 24, especially kobe
2k14 was perfect for how entering a next gen console should be . Had the most fun in park on that game and the courts visualization to me was the best out of all of them .Was hoping it would be the same way for 2k21 but wasnt even close. 2k has gone down hill since 14

The fact that there are comparisons between games a decade apart says all you need to know. 2k14 was truly ahead of its time, and still outshines newer releases to this day. Just goes to show how great 2k14 was, and how far 2k has fallen off since those days

you’re saying 2k14 “looks better” cuz of nostalgia. don’t get me wrong it looks amazing, but the details and textures look much better on 2k24. it’s the lightning on 14 that everyone loves.
@@SweatyTurban34That is a blatant lie. Look at the two Kobe's side to side and you tell me with a straight face which one actually looks like him, and which one looks like an airbrushed doll 💀 Don't glaze the devs bro. They don't care about you
@@SweatyTurban342k14 looks better without nostalgia. 2k14 has more accurate lighting, skin tones, and more realistic skin. Everyone on 2k24 are too dark, and looks like they have a plastic face mask on.
@@asee818 nah hes right. Just look at the lighting and the facial features. Current 2k is just garbage compared to 2k14. Idk how they went backwards 🤦♂🤦♂
@@FlyyGawd I think it's cause they don't use actual face scans. They surely are just scanning the players and making a model. There is no way they're actually using images of the players for the textures, cause you're right. They look like play doh
The likenesses have improved that's for sure, but the fact that 2K14 from 10 years ago even compares and is even BETTER in some aspects is crazy (jersey physics, skin texture, and especially the court reflections). 2K24 can look great but it's just too flat and desaturated most of the time.
So what happens is we make advancements in technology and then (they) the machine pushes it back to stretch the dollar out of us. Am I the only one that see this smh 🤦🏾🤷🏾
Played 2k since 11, never had so many visual memories like 14. I remember all of the details. So iconic - they’d rather just take everyone’s money nowadays focusing on VC
Overall, the next gen experience (last gen and current) has been underwhelming in many ways, aside from a few trusted developers that delivered on giving us amazing graphics and gameplay. 2k14 came out 10 years ago, and it looks superior to the "next gen" 2k and they've all been underwhelming to say the least, including many other AAA titles. This goes to show that they're very capable (and other major developers) of giving us a great quality game especially visuals, but they're too money hungry and lazy to do so.
Never played 2k14, but aside from 2k24 on PS5 having a bit more texture and added small polishing, details (unnecessary like each hair on their heads), 2k14 easily wins in lighting, accurate colors and overall aesthetic. Really shocking.
Back when it wasn’t so arcaded, park was realistic now we hooping in the guardian of the galaxy. Is it just me but the new graphics got everyone looking like dead bodies?
@ArringtonRocksGaming i was talking about in my player mode in park the mascots , the animations after someone hits a three such as a backflip or walking on their hands back down the court fast lol 2k14 just didn't have all that goofy stuff in it, it was just about balling out
@@izekewillis9515 Mascots and green animation (NBA players does this - handstanding or doing flips) been a thing since NBA2k15, the game is still strictly hooping not only that nba2k24 is the most realistic game we had so far especially with pro play animations
2k14 til this day still holds up. It’s certain things that could’ve used improvements but 2k actually starting going down hill in the graphics department. Players started looking rubbery or cartoony. In 2k14 the lighting is still the best I I’ve seen in a sports game, and players were bigger (not muscular, just overall taller/bigger) they felt like they carried their own individual weight. Everyone had their own body size, arm size, skin tone. But Now 2k seems to have gotten lazy. They do improve certain players faces each year, but they also recycle the same 8-10 body type variations. Players either have skinny arms, normal arms or muscular. body size: slim, standard, buff. skin tone: 2-3 shades of white, 2-3 shades of lightskin, 2-3 shades of brown skin. And they just mix and match it to every nba player, and then just slap on a photo realistic face and add sweat and tattoos and call it day. I mean think about it, we’re comparing a last gen launch title game. 2k14 was a day one ps4 game. And graphically it still holds its own against a game that’s out 2 years after PlayStation 5
Considering 2k14 is PS4 it has better graphics, 2k24 being on the PS5 just benefits from better textures, sharpness and animations, but everything else including the realism, foot planting and jerseys look better on 2k14
14 looked way more realistic that’s crazy. I wish they would have just built on those graphics instead of making so many changes. The only thing off with 14 is every player was bulky looking.
Yup, I think what separates 14 to 24 is the atmosphere of the arena. It isn't realistic if you compare it 24 and real NBA arenas today. But in 2012 to 2014 NBA Arenas look somewhat like that of 2k14 especially Spurs, Pacers and Miami Arena. It just has that cinematic feel to it. But as you said, overall 2k24 is better because it has that realistic rather than cinematic look. Excluding the player and jersey models, it looks really stick figure like and everybody has their shorts on their hips with a very long vertebrae.
Nope, 2k20 on ps5 had better lighting and graphics. 2k always does this bullshit to make us think graphics are getting better, when they regress graphics right before the next 2k comes out.
The lighting look better in 2k14 but the real games don’t look like that, They was trying to get the lighting to look more like the real games, Turns out people like the cartoon lighting better.
Hair, lighting, and skin tones were all better on 2k14. Facescans and natural gameplay advances are all that 2k24 really has. 2k14 feels a little choppy (but not bad) to play today, and faces were slightly odd- some guys are a bit crosseyed, facial proportions are a bit off, etc.
I hope since 2k isn’t making anymore 2k’s for current gen ( PS4 etc) this means that they can go back to making a actual good game instead of money grabs
OVA Can you do a comparison of 2k14, 2k16 and 2k24? I think 2k16 actually has the best court and texture graphics with the most well balanced of all of them. It'd be interesting to see how it holds up in all aspects
Player models are better in 2k24 but the color and detail of how the colors of the skin and lighting reflecting off different skin types was better in 2k14
in terms of animation, 2k24 is the best of all. But graphic-wise, 2k14 & 2k15 is still the best even though the spec of hardware at that time wasn’t as good as now….
The best graphics and lighting are in 14, 15 they changed it all, 16& 17 look near identical, 18-20 and current last gen ports are all the same, current gen 21-24 look identical
Also the nets physics look perverted good in NBA 2k14 on consoles and NBA 2k15 on PC. The start of the PS4 era. NBA looked great till 2k16 and starting with 2k17 started losing something. 2k17 was still acceptable. It got really bad since 2k18 and further on. I have installed 2k15 and 2k23 (last gen PS4) on my PC. 2k15 looks sooooooo much better it's flat out crazy. There's more variations of everything in 2k15, the way the ball enters the rim after shooting, the jersey physics, the net physics, the movement of the players. Only the classical players like MJ look MUCH better in PS5 era as i feel like they didn't even scan them properly in 2K15. EVERYTHING else looks waaaay better in 2k15 compared to let's say 2k20 or all those NBA 2k games that were still last gen (PS4). Graphics odlf the NBA 2k games didn't improve ONE BIT throughout the ENTIRE PS4 era, lol. They looked the best at the very beggining of the era. Which is insane.
I would say the opposite, what throws me off is the player models in new 2ks the worst offenders is Derrick’s MVP model and Lebron’s model, I do not understand why they stretched out Derricks shoulders so far out, it just looks bizarre and throws me off. They also exaggerated Lebrons upper body so much he looks like a cartoon character. With 2k14 they only had around 5 player models that they would reuse for different players but they looked realistic, now most have their own but they are so bad 😂 Also the lighting is so bad now, sure you can make an argument that most aren’t as shiny but why is the saturation so damn low, on current gen it looks alright but on next gen all the color is gone
Not just graphics but gameplay too. If you pick up 2K14 today you can feel how snappy the control is, how reactive and fast it is to pull off moves. Since the revamped movement system in 2K18 the games have almost been unplayable. Players move slow and the animations although better are still awkward
2k14 has physics, with the shoes they crease when the players walk, the jersey movement as well, I have always said it but 2k24 with 14 physics and lighting would be awesome, 2k24 has graphics and the face scans, 2k14 player models are just very doll like? idk how to describe it but its just less to life than the 2k24 models. but nonetheless 2k14 was the best game to introduce next gen graphics with in 2014, and now I cant wait to see how far the ps5 can go.
2k14 is the real NEXT GEN without any hype or gimmicks! 2k24 is just a flat out graphics and recycled nextgen wannabe! I just sold my 2k24 ps5 copy because it looks like a mobile version with a proplay gimmicks. 2k devs are so lazy! I'm 2k fan boy eversince but I'm so fed up. I am hoping for EA comeback so 2k will do their job better. It's 2k24 and yet Staples Center (Crypto arena) is still incorrect 😤
I recently started playing 2k14 again and I will say it’s mostly nostalgia but a lot of the players in the game look really good for it being 2014. Today’s graphics are just better but man nothing will match the nostalgia of loading up that game back in the day. Also mycareer is lowkey better in 2k14
Got 2k24 for ps5 and i felt like, all right looks good. Then i went to 2k14 for Ps4. Im still shocked by it graphics, lighting, sound atmosphere. It's the true next gen and always will be, lol.
Decided to do a short video showing some of the graphics and lighting from 2K14 compared to 2K24, hope you guys enjoy👍👍

I think 16 looks awful. Especially in comparison to 14 and 15. Slightly better than 17 and worse than 18,19,20
14 is better in most parts.
Yeah, 2K14 is better. It’s weird how games are supposed to look better on the newest generation consoles and that’s just not the case.
The most amazing is the responsiveness.
You can actually steal passes because there is no delay.
Defense is nice because its responsive
A better more fair comparison would be nba 2k24 vs nba live 14
2k 24 looks like it was like a 1-2 year graphic jump that could even be on ps3 . That’s crazy
Player models are better in 2k24 but the color and detail of how the colors of the skin and lighting reflecting off different skin types was better in 2k14
2k14 next gen by far best 2k of all time especially at that time it was crazy
2k14 details were goated .
2k24 LBj Miami heat looks like Lakers LBJ 🤷 looks older than 2k14 LBJ
in terms of animation, 2k24 is the best of all.
But graphic-wise, 2k14 & 2k15 is still the best even though the spec of hardware at that time wasn’t as good as now….
2K15 looked like dog doo-doo. That's when they started to decline
@@kravethedreamgraphic wise 15 was the decline, gameplay was 17
The best graphics and lighting are in 14, 15 they changed it all, 16& 17 look near identical, 18-20 and current last gen ports are all the same, current gen 21-24 look identical
Also since new gen game intros disappeared and player interviews during the game, really strange
Also the nets physics look perverted good in NBA 2k14 on consoles and NBA 2k15 on PC. The start of the PS4 era. NBA looked great till 2k16 and starting with 2k17 started losing something. 2k17 was still acceptable. It got really bad since 2k18 and further on. I have installed 2k15 and 2k23 (last gen PS4) on my PC. 2k15 looks sooooooo much better it's flat out crazy. There's more variations of everything in 2k15, the way the ball enters the rim after shooting, the jersey physics, the net physics, the movement of the players. Only the classical players like MJ look MUCH better in PS5 era as i feel like they didn't even scan them properly in 2K15. EVERYTHING else looks waaaay better in 2k15 compared to let's say 2k20 or all those NBA 2k games that were still last gen (PS4). Graphics odlf the NBA 2k games didn't improve ONE BIT throughout the ENTIRE PS4 era, lol. They looked the best at the very beggining of the era. Which is insane.
Everyone looks embalmed in 2k24
While the geometry is higher in 2k24, 2k14 has those true to life textures, Bump Maps and lighting ...
2k24 looks more like a refined 2k14.
Also You could still see the computer look in 2k14 while the models in 2k24 look far more realistic
Wtf are u looking at 😅😅
In every 2K from 2K18 and on players' heads are too big.
I would say the opposite, what throws me off is the player models in new 2ks the worst offenders is Derrick’s MVP model and Lebron’s model, I do not understand why they stretched out Derricks shoulders so far out, it just looks bizarre and throws me off. They also exaggerated Lebrons upper body so much he looks like a cartoon character.
With 2k14 they only had around 5 player models that they would reuse for different players but they looked realistic, now most have their own but they are so bad 😂
Also the lighting is so bad now, sure you can make an argument that most aren’t as shiny but why is the saturation so damn low, on current gen it looks alright but on next gen all the color is gone
@@yodatscrazy981yeah if the game had good lightning it would be 10 times better
Shit take
MJ definitely looks better in 2k24, 2k14 isn't even him 😂😭
if that was they mj they gave him a big ahh nose
Not just graphics but gameplay too. If you pick up 2K14 today you can feel how snappy the control is, how reactive and fast it is to pull off moves. Since the revamped movement system in 2K18 the games have almost been unplayable. Players move slow and the animations although better are still awkward
they could’ve just kept the same graphics from 14 😂
2k14 has physics, with the shoes they crease when the players walk, the jersey movement as well, I have always said it but 2k24 with 14 physics and lighting would be awesome, 2k24 has graphics and the face scans, 2k14 player models are just very doll like? idk how to describe it but its just less to life than the 2k24 models. but nonetheless 2k14 was the best game to introduce next gen graphics with in 2014, and now I cant wait to see how far the ps5 can go.
Any NBA 2K game after 2K14 is a scam
2k14 still holds up because there was a different development team back then who cared about quality of their games
How is this even possible? Why does it seem all aspects of gaming are regressing?
2k14 is the real NEXT GEN without any hype or gimmicks! 2k24 is just a flat out graphics and recycled nextgen wannabe!
I just sold my 2k24 ps5 copy because it looks like a mobile version with a proplay gimmicks.
2k devs are so lazy! I'm 2k fan boy eversince but I'm so fed up. I am hoping for EA comeback so 2k will do their job better. It's 2k24 and yet Staples Center (Crypto arena) is still incorrect 😤
Was so excited when 2K14 dropped. The graphics blew my mind and I can’t imagine how realistic it would get in 10 years…. It got worse….
And 2K14 wasn’t completely finished also, many missing stuff and it was still great.
Can you make a Video of face comparison of 2k14 and 2k24? both have a 10 year gap
Yes!! This would be great!
Thats insane how good 2k14 was, the only things bettwer in 2k24 is the movement of players and the environment
NBA2K11, 12 & 14 are still gems! !
The lighting in 2k14 is immaculate. Too bad there isn’t a PC port for the next gen version. Mods with modern rosters would be so much fun
I recently started playing 2k14 again and I will say it’s mostly nostalgia but a lot of the players in the game look really good for it being 2014. Today’s graphics are just better but man nothing will match the nostalgia of loading up that game back in the day. Also mycareer is lowkey better in 2k14
This game is going on 10 yrs and still better than every game after it
2k14 is super realistic not like todays 2k 🗑️. REALTALK.
2k14 still looks better 10 years later and on next gen that’s crazy it’s not even close
They need to just remaster NBA 2K14 and name it NBA 2K26 or sum, everything was so much simpler then, gameplay dribbling etc💯
Got 2k24 for ps5 and i felt like, all right looks good. Then i went to 2k14 for Ps4. Im still shocked by it graphics, lighting, sound atmosphere. It's the true next gen and always will be, lol.
