Why can't 2K look this good ?

i suggest upgrading to PC gaming. the difference between next gen console and my 3 year old graphics card is like night and day. Consoles are just nowhere near as beautiful as the pc versions

No, that's either Bulls vs Blazers or Lakers vs Celtics.

Frankly, I think comments like THIS are just as puzzling. Go research some AI papers and see where the "cutting edge" stands, then compare that to PRACTICAL application today. Folks take so much for granted today and don't realize how modeling any "simple" facet of life really is. Just look at emotion for example. There are infinite levels of happiness, sadness, anger, as well as the inter-relationships between each of those emotions, eg you get more angry at the the things and people you care most about. Graphics are a VASTLY smaller component of alternate realities. And there are pretty discreet metrics to judge graphics. AI/Gameplay is a MUCH more fuzzy/subjective realm. To assume it SHOULD be at a particular level/stage OR that it hasn't advanced is ignorant.

It's the reason you have a handful of old dudes still hoping beyond hope that EA can get their act together.

In other words: Lakers vs Celtics.

I'm not as old as you guys must be, but this was my first game and even I will never complain about graphics.
I try and not complain about minor gameplay things either because it's just night and day with what I used to play..sure things can be changed but remember the days when games couldn't be patched?..lol

Nice!

Courtside was probably the first "realistic" basketball game I really enjoyed playing. Crazy thinking back that Kobe already had a game named for him by that time.

Yes!! I remember playing 1 on 1 with my brother and I always picked the bulls! Man the n64 was great. Also wasn't their an option for a first person camera in this game?

Probably whenever we're willing to put up with 1 frame per hour, so it has time to render everything nicely, like they can with commercials and movie
