Re: NBA Live 2002
in terms of the graphics, for me 2002 seemed ok because EA put equal efforts into everything. what i mean is, though generally cartoonish, everything looked nice - the players, the courts, the crowd, and the bench players that i talked about. they all "looked nice" together.
in 2005, EA did a GREAT job with the player faces, and made their skin look more realistic, not as cartoonish as before. however, some of the things are not at par with the player graphics, like the ugly crowd (especially staples center crowd, courtside. i dunno, but they kinda look "grey" to me) and the lack of details around the court. like the players on the bench (sorry guys, im really kinda picky about the bench guys, i mean, why only three guys?
)
another thing i miss seeing from 2002 is the "shooting foul" animation. 2004 and 2005's shooting foul animation looks ugly, imo. (oh, except for 2005, where you can lean towards the defender after faking him. NICE!) in 2002, they had this animation where your player kind of flings his arms in the air, and that's a shooting foul. i like that.
