For the most part, the series has avoided the FIFA-esque corner-cutting in its Nintendo versions, with the Switch receiving the full game (we know, <em>what a concept!<\/em>) just like its PlayStation and Xbox siblings. However, it seems that this won&#8217;t fully be the case with 2K24.<\/p>\n<p>A new gameplay trailer for the upcoming basketball title showcases the fresh ProPLAY feature \u2014 where movements from real NBA games are scanned into 2K for more realistic animations. It&#8217;s a neat addition, for sure (and the demonstrated KD step-back sure does look clean) but this is one of the changes that we will not be seeing on Switch, with ProPLAY being reserved for next-gen players only.<\/p>\n<p>It&#8217;s a shame that this feature is remaining firmly on the bench for Switch, though it&#8217;s hardly a huge surprise as the game requires a pretty hefty downgrade in the visuals department to run on Nintendo&#8217;s comparatively smaller console. 2K notes (via the <a href=\"https:\/\/nba.2k.com\/2k24\/courtside-report\/gameplay\/\">NBA 2K24 website<\/a>) that there are several enhancements that will be coming to the Switch version, however, so we&#8217;re not looking at a &#8216;Legacy Edition&#8217; situation here:<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p>ProPLAY delivers an immersive and authentic game on New Gen, while the gameplay enhancements we\u2019ve made across all consoles in <em>NBA 2K24<\/em> provide an elevated experience for everyone.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>While the NBA 2K series has generally remained pretty strong as far as Switch versions go, this is not the first time that Nintendo has seen a slightly smaller package \u2014 you might remember the absence of MyCareer&#8217;s central hub, &#8216;The City&#8217;, in <a href=\"https:\/\/www.nintendolife.com\/games\/nintendo-switch\/nba_2k23\">2K23<\/a>, replaced by the smaller &#8216;G.O.A.T. Boat&#8217; on current-gen consoles. An all-new City will be present in the upcoming release, which is currently also listed as &#8220;New Gen Only&#8221;. We imagine it won&#8217;t be long before we find out what the current-gen replacement is this time around.<\/p>\n<p class=\"disclaimer\">Please note that some external links on this page are affiliate links, which means if you click them and make a purchase we may receive a small percentage of the sale.
