    Ew, that was a tough task. The NBA series from 2K does deliver very authentic graphics, even the early releases. We took the last three from the series, NBA 2K16, NBA 2K17 and the newest addition, NBA 2K18, for a comparison of the evolution over the last three years. And it was hard to spot any notable differences. The overall presentation surely has leveled up here and there with NBA 2K17 and NBA 2K18, adding a few more elements to an already highly polished game. With NBA 2K18 the Streetball feature has grown up since NBA 2K16. The flexibility of the camera also suffers from some restrictions in NBA 2K16. The bottom line: The players and the arenas do look fine in all three games.
    Reminder: The actual graphic is more crisp. UA-cam has some limits and a very harsh compression algorithm.

    I think 2k actually does scale back the graphics a bit to make room for extra stuff. I mean look at 2k14. the entire court lighting and overall atmosphere of that game was delicious yet moving forward things seemed toned down

    In terms of graphics, all three are just about a match. I own 2k16 and 2k18. 2k18 feels so lose when you move your player that it's like the most sensitive steering wheel ever. You move it slightly and your car veers.

    The graphics to look a bit better in 16 but 17 and 18 are smoother because they're the only ones that are 60fps

      yeah, 2k16 had the best feel, 2k18 feels to sluggish to me.
