if you know the nba, the graphics are fine. If you know who is on your team, they are recognizable from most of the cameras(you can also have the names under their feet if you want). I turn off all of the identifiers and I only have problems with Darius Miles and Ricky Davis. #21 and 31 look pretty similar and both wear headbands. I actually use their shoes to tell them apart sometimes.

Anyway, I think the graphics are fine. Not up to par with ESPN, but from the view of gameplay, it seems like it doesn't matter. ESPN looks really good up close, but from gameplay cameras, it's not that much better.

ESPN still looks a generation ahead of Live, even with the default cameras.

Re: How Bad Are The Graphics?

I haven't picked up espn yet, but the graphics in nba live 2004 are fine. Are they the greatest of all time? Probably not, but the gameplay is tight and that slowdown thing is not a game killer at all.
Quite frankly, I'm glad I picked up nba live this year. The posts on the espn board are scaring me. I haven't liked live since live 2000. This year's is better.

Re: How Bad Are The Graphics?

The graphics are absolutely fine in this game. I do not see why people are complaining. No, they do not look like ESPN. They were designed by different people. They work perfect for this game. There is not a thing wrong with the graphics. Pick up a game on a previous generation system and tell me Live's graphics are bad.

Re: How Bad Are The Graphics?

The graphics are good, the animations AWESOME. I am not as concerned about somebody's tatoo cuz I don't go to instant replay and zoom in on players to oooh and ahhh. I just play the game. And from that perspective they're damn beautiful. The other day I was playing and my fiancee walked by the TV and said "This game is very pretty". How's that for non-expert opinion?

Re: How Bad Are The Graphics?

I was pretty let down by the graphics and presentation in the game even compared to NBA 2K3, however, that doesn't stop this from being the best NBA title EA has ever put out. There are a few gameplay elements that seriously bother me, and I'm still learning to play right, but the graphics definitely aren't a major concern. I'd sacrifice graphics for gameplay any day of the weak anyways.

I haven't been this happy with a Live title since either 1998 or 2000.
