Wow! You wouldn't know good graphics if it sat right in front of you. Oh wait, it is! 2k models look like PS2 type graphics! I mean I really could care less what you prefer, but you cant say that Live is far off from accurate, and think that you are correct!

PS2 type Graphics!!!, Now your just shooting yourself in the foot, 2K graphics are far from PS2 graphics. Dude please just Stop.

Nah yo, your entitled toy your opinion, I wasn't saying that you were completely wrong, but the way that I am seeing 2k compared to Live, I just personally don't see how you could prefer their PS2 looking models to Live's models. And saying PS2 is no exaggeration. Please compare:

Andre Iguodala:

2k -

Live -

I mean just look at that face! Perfect complexion, facial texture etc. 2k makes him out to look really dark (which he is not) And they give him a thicker hair.

Funny you should say that... I spoke to Iggy at the release party and he said he feels he looks better in 2k9. I didn't even bring up Live he just said no other game has him look right.

Maybe he hadn't seen himself in Live yet who knows.

I don't like the look of those pictures. They just look off... and the player models now look too small. They are more proportionate than last year though.

I love the colors on the court. Look freaking great. It's the players that I have an issue with.

Also, look at Iguodala in 2k9, he has his arm band, and in Live he has nothing. IMO, 2K captures every players with a great authentic style, opposed to what LIVE does.

Also, NBA.com took down the Thunder Pic...Guess they mad a booboo too.

Nah yo, I can't not say what I feel. Especially when it comes to video games. I honestly do feel that while PS2 may be harsh, 2K's graphics are just not up to par with the title "Next Gen". It really seems as though NBA Live is at that graphical level.

Just a FYI, I did a search for Iguodala's last game of the season last year and he had no armband.

Dude lost all credibility saying 2k looks like a ps2 game. SMH.

Re: NBA.com Live pictures

Ok figured it out:

Look at this picture:

Look at Deron's elbow point and follow it to his wrist. Look how long it is. Compare it to the Live picture. It's slightly too long in Live. I think this is the case for all the players... their forearms are too long.

I remember last year guys laughed when I brought up the calves and the size was increased. Looks a lot better this year. Hopefully some work will be done on the proportion of the upper bodies as well for next year.

Re: NBA.com Live pictures

I told one of the devs months ago before this game was even coming out, if they didn't get those skintones right, they were going to get criticized beyond belief.

Seriously DW is too dark and I'm sure Beasely and Rose tones will be wrong too. That's not good.

And I never noticed that forearm thing until now. Wow!!!!

I'm still getting it!

Re: NBA.com Live pictures

People always laugh at things like calves and stuff but it does matter. I did the same thing with 2k, and they fixed it.

Lives player models always had proportion problems for whatever reason. Its funny because on the demo you almost feel like PP has some nubs for arms. Its weird.

I still have a slight problem with the lower bodies and how they look when players crouch, but whatever

Re: NBA.com Live pictures

glad I could help. I have absolutely no problems with them having wrong skintones, AS LONG AS WE CAN CHANGE THEM!
