With 'NBA 2K16' much has been made about roping in Spike Lee to affect the game's presentation and the entire "Be the Story" concept, but today's footage goes in another direction. 'NBA 2K' has some of the best looking visuals around, especially within the sports genre. Today, fans can watch a photobombed halftime interview, a rolling on the court celebration, a NO court lightshow, mouth guard chewing, and even things that happen during the running clock of the game.
These are the growing hallmarks of the series, but sadly, the visuals are not without their warts. No, it's the uncanny valley that's the issue, it's the new jerseys. The Clippers, the Timberwolves, and the Hawks (why?) have new threads on display. (On the plus side, the Raptors are looking better.)
