This is on 2k for providing a lazy upgrade. 2k announced they were supporting the pro late so I wouldn’t be surprised if they did it last minute. NCAA 25 is a nice bump compared to 2k.
@@xArtie22x Well said. Any shitty looking "upgrade" is on the developer NOT the system which is why they're making tons of patches as they finally learn to use PSSR (tho they should've done a better job learning it before putting out some lazy patches).

It's one of the reasons why games like Gran Turismo 7, The Last of Us, Call of Duty, etc. look amazing and other games don't
People who saying it’s no different is lying because you can’t tell on UA-cam due to compression. In person it’s a huge difference the graphics are a huge leap
Lol no it’s not. It’s the same graphics with slightly enhanced reflections/sweat/gloss effects. End of the day, player models are still the same, courts are still the same, arenas are still the same, etc etc. Almost zero difference to the naked eye.
I can say it’s a very small upgrade. Now other games that’s a different story. It’s still looks very good, but games like Madden, EA NCAA, Horizon, Spider-Man 2, God of War to name a few look stunning. I will add if you don’t have a high end tv, I would say don’t do it. On the LG C2 and the C4 which I have, it’s stunning.
For nba 2K this is not true at all, there are other games I agree with. You can show much difference through YT like I did with reflections here, that was the only difference, 2K said itself in their tweet
Thank you for this vid! I'm was on the fence about getting the Pro. 2K is the game I primarily play. I expected the cut scenes to be 60fps across the board for the Pro. Cut scenes still at 30fps is a huge disappointment! Hard pass for me!
Blame 2k and take 2(company behind rockstar) for that, not Sony and their hardware. Playstation has given developers the tools, it's up to them to make use of them
@@volcalstoneyeah that just goes further to show the lack of actual care that goes into the development of NBA 2K. Thats why its literally the same game reskinned every year.

You're either a lying troll, or your gaming monitor or tv doesnt support it.... or third option, you're literally blind and should go see an optometrist...
The best comparisons on UA-cam no question. 💪 one request that I think will be good to see for the progression of 2K would be a NBA 2K25 vs NBA Live 19 face comparison. Any chance of doing that? 🏀👍
Still dropping below 60fps on PS5 Pro + 30fps cutscenes cap is as disgusting as the 30fps hard capped half time show on PC :( On PC the difference feels especially ugly cause other cutscenes are uncapped as it should be. Makes no sense and should be an easy fix via patch. But 2K won't do anything as in the past..
yo i know how it looks in these videos but it’s truly not in person, you can tell a huge difference. frames are so much better and everything looks a lot more sharp.
@@kobeandgary by better frames i mean more consistent frames, if you play a title on the ps5 pro such as Madden 25 you will see a major difference. the movement isn’t as choppy as the ps5. same with nba 2k25 and the games truly looks amazing. a lot of people giving their opinions don’t even own the console. not saying you don’t.
@@kobeandgary its like you play madden on performance/quality mode at the same time. this console provides both at once and still has a clearer sharper image than the original ps5.
From someone who has always loved in-depth graphics and that hasn’t bought any of the PS5 consoles (due to waiting on the pro), would you recommend me wait til the price for the Pro drops at least a lil bit? Is it truly worth buying that one? Cuz I mean, the only differences I’ve noticed on some of this comparison vids are reflections on buildings, vehicles (Gran Turismo 7), and higher fps, like that’s it. Not sure if this is because UA-cam vids are compressed or what, but I certainly wouldn’t like to have all this amount of time waiting for the Pro and then regret getting it Would appreciate honest responses
This isn’t a generational upgrade, it’s a slight upgrade. There are games like rebirth where quality and fps has truly fixed. If you don’t care about higher fps, then it wouldn’t mean much for you to buy and the quality is mostly sharper and things u would only notice if you pay attention. It does look better on tv but so does the original ps5
I mean I see the reflections and stuff it just don’t excite me like it would maybe 10 years ago. Don’t think it’s worth the money. I also moved on to pc so idk maybe that’s why.
Barely notice a difference. Slightly more lighting and reflections. Some games are optimized better then other though. F1 to me was the most impressive on the pro. I had got a pro. Compared it to my og ps5. Took the pro back to target. The pro is impressive ,but for ME and MY situation it makes 0 sense to get one. I don’t play my base ps5 enough. And no disc drive for $700. But for some it might be worth it. If you don’t have a ps5 at all. Or if you got the right setup to get the most out of your pro and you must have it by all means ,go for it. Or if you play yours enough. Get it. I ain’t telling anyone how to spend THEiR money. Do you. Game on!
I agree with Microsoft that the upgrade was not enough to encourage a mid update system this generation and i agree because no way the sony ps 5 pro is worrh 700 bucks for slightly more stable fram rate and most games look worse on ps 5 pro due to programming errors and a crappier verson of graphics engine
@bobby3914 only people who don't have real money have to try and impress people with material things. So your mindset tells me you are broke and probably still live at home with your parents or a roommate 😂😂😂
It doesn't have ray tracing. Only the PC had on capable GPU's it until now. But outside of reflections, PSSR, And fluidity it's no different than the base PS5 (which is still very nice and I own still alongside the Pro) Can't go wrong either way imo
