We’re in a new era
Much like the evolution of EA Sports’ Madden franchise, a fan has taken it upon themselves to show us how NBA 2K evolved throughout the years. Although they haven’t been around as long as Madden, the differences between today’s releases and back then is like night and day. From being an exclusive on Sega Dreamcast to overtaking and shutting down NBA Live (on and off), Visual Concepts and 2K Sports have monopolized the NBA gaming arena and made it their own.
Peep the video above to get through a history of how far the graphics have come since 1999 and think about it next time you load up NBA 2K15 on your XBOX ONE or Playstation 4 console. It should be noted that around NBA 2K7 is when you can spot a noticeable difference, mainly because that was the first cycle that PS3 and XBOX 360 were available.
This really makes you want to break out the PS2, right?
