    How else are you comparing them. Actually if you believe the Live's graphics are better cool doesn't matter to me. However how is the graphics more realistic. Its like your are grasping at straws

      THANK U. I think Live has great grafix, I hate 2 see people dog it all the time. They're sufficient enough to get the job done. I'm sorry, but when I'm running a fast break with T-Mac, the last thing I care about is a polygon count

      You will care when the poly count is too high and the game becomes unplayable when moving at a crawl. The trick with polys is that you want the most bang for your buck by using schemes like progressive meshes, etc. but I wont go into any more details. Graphics programmers have to deal with all this crap that most people never see because it is working by the time the finished product gets published.

      There are three things I dont like about Live's graphics.

      1) The jerseys. Live uses a lot of compressed textures for their jerseys that can make them appear "blurry" and sometimes I think the numbers on the jerseys can appear exaggerated in size.
      2) The faces. Live once again exaggerates certain features that can give the players a cartoonish appeal, especially the eyes.
      3) The animations. Again the word here is EXAGGERATION. Animations are moving too fast and can result in missing frames because the frame rate may not be high enough to catch up with it. The result is some animations looking like it skipped a few sequences.

      I'm not saying that ESPN doesnt have issues as well, because they do.

                  Re: I dont think the graphics are bad at all !!!!!!

                  Look man in this situation realistic=better. They are trying reprsent the player realistically so how can the game with the best graphics not look the most real. These two things have to go together in order for your statement to work. Now if we were talking about a fanasty game potraying some imaginary place and then comparing it to GTA and then saying GTA is more realistic looking but the other game hads better graphics this would make sense. But these two games are of the same thing so you can have one with out the other. The most realistic of the two is the game with the better graphics

                              Live is not real looking man. Look at the pictures you posted. They're blurry. Look at the audience in the front. I can't tell where their legs are. Live has a better chance in comparing gameplay, but not graphics. Not many people are gonna agree with you. You're in your own little world with this post.
