With the next generation of consoles almost upon us, 2K has taken the initiative to show us how NBA 2K21 is going to play on them. They put out a new video highlighting key features in the next-gen versions.

The next gen gameplay demo features commentary by Visual Concepts executive producer Erick Boenisch and gameplay director Mike Wang. They went over some of the new features in next-gen version of the Basketball game.

According to 2K, here are some of the new features in the next-gen version of NBA 2K21:

• Lightning-Fast Load Times: By utilizing the built-in solid-state drives (SSDs) of the next-gen consoles, NBA 2K21 now features incredibly short load times that get players directly into the action;
• Closer to the Real Basketball than Ever: Next-gen advancements around movement, impact, shooting, dribbling and more lead to an NBA 2K experience that blurs the line between game and reality;
• The Arena Comes to Life: A new standard of crowd interactivity has been established in NBA 2K21, thanks to the more than 150 AI-powered characters populating the Lower Bowl of the arena;
• New Perspective to the Game: The dynamic new Rail Cam presentation transports the player to the hardwood floors, providing a full view of the game and highlights the incredible visual fidelity of the players and arena.

On top of that, the game will also feature a second commentary team, with voices by Brian Anderson (play-by-play), Grant Hill (color commentator) and Allie LaForce (sideline reporter). They join the regular commentary by evin Harlan, Greg Anthony and David Aldridge.
