NBA2K22 vs NBA2K23 Sweat Effect comparation

[Lagoa]

I love new colors, Jordan's new face is perfect, the eye effects are incredibly, but definitely, the game has lost a lot of the sweat effect.

Its sad year after year, we never have only advantages, we always lose things... anyway, what do you think?

I like it the game, but i dont know, its NEXT GENERATION guys, i deserve more like this: (on sweat effect to add more realism)

Is this Next Gen?
On PC I've appreciated the sweat effects. Granted, I never really played 21 or 22 cause I never got into it.

It´s a "next gen" version, Xbox Series X

the screenshot is from next gen, sadly the PC version is old gen port.

That's surprising, as sweat has long been the effect that's used to promote Next Gen graphical improvements. Not that steps backwards are unheard of - there are plenty of examples of that through decades of basketball video games - but it's a bit surprising all the same.

I'll admit that it doesn't bother me overmuch compared to any issues with gameplay mechanics or modes/features, but it's obviously a detail that's better to get right, just like anything else.
