And I don't see any hunchbacked players.

Re: A few grabs

IGN will tell you they are real and probably that they played it with their own hands...
Elsewhere EA people apparantly said only Need for Speed was actual gameplay footage.
If it's real then it's really good, even though the body shapes are still strange.

Where's Rip's mask & headband?

You have to see the video and look real closely. It's not that bad but it's slightly there. The pic of Rip looks smooth. I didn't notice that he got the ball in the video. That's a good representation of him. The absence of the mask isn't bad. I hope they get his whole head into the game this year. If not this year, maybe they'll fit it in next year.

Rip looks great IMO.

He looks good, but the general body shape of all players is still a little off.

One for the road...

Re: A few grabs

While I think the game looks good, the player models are still off - not sure why EA has such difficulty getting body proportions down pat. Players look like they have near stick figure arms in some of the pics, and they all look humpbacked. Will be interesting to see how this game develops for the 360.

i agree big time on the overall like form of the player models

the jersey's are like too baggy, some players look hunched, its just plain like wrong the way their form looks

BUT everything else looks dang nice....

Re: A few grabs

The only player I saw hunched was Prince, but isn't he like that in real life?

Re: A few grabs

Out of all the next-generation EA Sports games I demoed at E3, I'd have to say that NBA Live 06 had the most realistic player models... and that's saying a hell of a lot. The same extensive detail that was used in the other EA Sports next-gen titles (Madden, FIFA, and Tiger Woods) is present, but it seems as if it can be showcased the most in NBA Live with the minimal amount of pads, headgear, or even clothing. The facial nuances; pores, hair, razor stubble, all exist in Live but it's the sweat that you'll notice most. If there is any sport where you can see an excess of sweat, its basketball. In NBA Live it's flying all over just like it would be in real life.

This is not even close ot final. The bench players and the coach are not there at all.

Re: A few grabs

About the players size, muscle size, definition etc...

EA Sports was kind enough to point out that the muscles on some of the players had been enhanced (Vladimir Radmanovic looked like he had been on the juice) to showcase the new technology but we were assured that the athletes would personify the look of their real life counterparts with the utmost perfection in time for launch. Needless to say the newest rendition of NBA Live should change the way gamers think about basketball games from here on out.

Re: A few grabs

I think the pics look ok, but I have a problem, and this is with both Live and 2K5. I believe they are too into the jersey physics that they made the jerseys way too big just to show them off. The jerseys in real life tend to stick to the players, not blow around like an inflatable sumo-suit. I really hope this is just for demo purposes and not what it will be like in the game.

Re: A few grabs

The only thing that I saw was that Luke Ridnour's hair is to dark. Its more of a redish-brown.
