    Funny thing happened to me (MLB Power Pros)

    I popped this game in for the first time last night and really didn't mind the graphics and the qwerky player models and then just for kicks, I start up MLB 07 (ps3) and the first thing I thought to myself was damn, these graphics aren't as good as I remember. I found myself preferring the Power Pro look and feel. I think developers are worring too much about the minute graphic details when they don't have too. If the made a football game that was "Power Pro's" esk (fun to play, stat filled) I'd probably never leave the house!!!

    The more realistic you make a game look the more you'll see the flaws.

      That's exactly right. A lot of people don't understand that and don't understand why a game with graphics like PP can be better than a game that tries to look photorealistic.

      I'd like to see more sports games with similar (what's the word -- cartoonish?) graphics.

        Dude, I think you nailed it. I never looked at that way but you're right.

          So what are you guys saying....there are more flaws in Power Pros, but you just don't see them because of the graphics?

            That is very true. When you see a character looking photo-realistic, but yet does not animate exactly like a human would, it would seem flawed because with the realistic look comes high expectations for realistic movements/interactions.

              Remember Windwaker on the Gamecube? All cell shaded and cartoony but the colors are brighter and everything just "looked" great!

                There's actually a term for this from what I've read from a Game Informer article months back, it's called the "Uncanny Valley".
