NFL 2k5/UPDATED HD PICS VS. MADDEN NFL 07 (360) HD

[bigfnjoe96]

As much as I love NFL 2K5, It graphically cannot compare to Madden 07. SORRY. NFL 2K5 1st off wasn't even HD. It was developed in 480p compared to Madden 07 which was developed in 720p.. No upscaled image will look as good as an HD Image. None.

Crappy graphics will be crappy whether they are in high definition or not. I'm not saying Madden's graphics are crappy but people make it seem like high definition cures everything.

I agree with your post, but HD does make a difference. In some games a BIG-DIFFERENCE.

One big thing that's hurt this new generation is the reliance on HDTV. The graphics look good on non HD (and I argue that a number of non HD tubes look better than HD LCD's and others), but in order to get the full effect you have to have HD. Unfortunately, that means more money and for many people it just isn't feasible. It was something that was bound to happen, but it's still an issue for many.

I still say that the console makers should have held onto everything for another year or two. I don't believe they were ready and the evidence is in the hardware problems and lack of games. Microsoft, for example, claims that their defect rate for the 360 is at a normal level, but there are just too many things pointing to the contrary.

You don't know the power of HD then.

Madden does look better overall largely because of the details in the characters, but it's not really fair to compare it with a game that came out two years prior and was running on a far less powerful machine. I do like 2k5's player models though. Madden's player models always looked too big and hunched over, kinda like roided up ninja turtles. 2k5's players were a little on the skinny side, but I felt it at least looked a little more natural. I think that ideally, player models should be somewhere between 2k5 and Madden cuz both don't quite have the right proportions for real football players.

Screenshots are one thing, but putting these games head to head in a video comparison is another. I think 2k5 actually beats Madden when in motion because of Madden's sluggish framerate, awkward player interaction, and the fact that it seems to have less varied animations, especially in the tackling department.

The fact that 2k5 can beat Madden 07 in anything is a shame.

How does it hurt this generation?? Hd is the future of television programming ,viewing and gaming.
So for the folks that have an hd set,they should have to wait till more folks have an hd set? because of reliance issues??

I would also love for you to point out a non hd set that looks better than a hd set running 720,1080i or 1080p.
