NBA Live was horrible Tiger was choppy etc. i hav to say one thing. the ps3 has better textures and color pallete but isn't effeciant in how it uses it's hardware OR dev are not optimizing it. Like i said many times before if it's the lead console it gets good results

The good news is developers are finding out working on the PS3 first and porting over is the way to go. Easier, PS3 gets a good version and Xbox stays the same. Most developers are saying this and we have already seen it with Burnout.

Or have two different teams instead of porting such as with COD 4.

It's interesting because the ps3 can hold incredibly detailed texture work and content of that. if it streams it off the hard drive first though so that has to be working and seems to be the thing that HAS TO work in order for the game to run good.

From my point of view

XBox360: Quick dev time but textures will make it hiccup
PS3;slow dev time but textures are better as is the color and brightness of the system for HD content
Xbox360:We've seen the best that the system can do.(mass effect BUt it hiccupped constantly)
PS3:we have not seen the ps3 fully optimized yet at all. MLB Drakes fortune have done steps towards realizing the power the ps3 holds...

Xbox360:About 20 % increase left to be able to add to the graphics
PS3: about 40 % more left

To me, PS3 NBA 2k8 seems a lot more choppy using 2k cam compared to the 360 version. I had to switch to nosebleed cameras because the framerate was so bad.

Turning off auto login to the 2K servers fixes all that.

Made a huge difference for me as well in CH2K8. It went from choppy to smooth. The downside to this is no ticker scores but its no big deal.

Not sure why it happens but turning it off makes it normal. But remember, turning the ticker scores won't do it, you can't be connected to the 2K sports server at all.

Gotcha. Thanks for the info, Altimus.
