Re: New 360 Screens

Did it ever occur to you guys that the faces are suddenly looking off (after Live 06 on 360 had the best faces ever for many players) because they are now animating.

Same as 2K6 on 360, which looked like crap.

Same as Tiger Woods when they started to animate him more.

If you want photo realistic faces then you won't have them animate by the looks of it.

If you want them to animate and show emotion then expect some of their expressions to be off.

Well none of the pictures show any emotion or anything so I doubt that that is the reason.

Re: New 360 Screens

Well I think it is. Many faces last year were damn photo real and suddenly they are not.

It's like 2K6... some angles and expressions can show the player for who he is but when they all animate at a default style, there is going to be frames where the animation simply doesn't suit and match up with the player face we know.

Re: New 360 Screens

The player models are just plain ugly man. Iverson looks like hes 98 pounds. NBA Lives graphics have always sucked(besides PC), so Im not worried about that. I just want to see how it animates and plays. No excuses for these ugly screens.

Yea the only pic that looks like it shows some emotion is with Antione Walker.

Re: New 360 Screens

Look @ that screen shot and tell me AI's body looks like that,lol. Thats terrible my friend.

Re: New 360 Screens

He looks too short on there. In 2K he looks like a 220lb wide reciever. Maybe its the jersey animation. I know we're used to seeing AI looking like bro man from the 5th floor, but he doesnt look bad on there.

AI is little in poportion to most NBA players, and it looks like they finally shortened the arms so that they dont reach down to their knees

Re: New 360 Screens

Just for comparison:



vs.



and for scale of AI to the hoop:



He looks a little off, primarily because the angle and distance of the camera from the shot. But scale wise, both body type and size compared to basket and LeBron (they appear to be on the same plane in that pic from live) he looks really decent.

Re: New 360 Screens

Don't think it's the jersey. The models are all arms and legs; almost toothpick-like and not very well proportioned. Iverson is thin IRL, but he's not anorexic. You can see EA went away from it's too-small proportioned/bobblehead-like players in current gen, but they went to the other extreme. Doesn't help that it's a weird pose also

Re: New 360 Screens

He didnt look bad in last years game which is why I say that, and that jersey does look animated, (not as great as 2k's, although they had issues with that too), but you can look at the shorts to see that. Im not sure if they added more, but the bottom half of the jersey and the bottom of the shorts moved in the 06 version.

Oh yes, and LOL @ whoever that is in front of big Z. What is he doing?

LOL. The screens look ok, but Live is known more for how it animates more than anything. I can't wait to see some footage.

[WTF]

Re: New 360 Screens

Looks like Damon Jones to me... and he's doing his "rain dance" imitation.
