Re: First NBA Live 09 Screenshots

Seriously these are Live 08 shots in low resolution and the player models have more detail than 2k. Even I'm willing to admit that, and I'm a 2kfan.

But you can't deny that Live 08 graphics are really good!

Graphic quality is great, overall tho the graphics aren't impressive IMO. All the players have the same look and the arenas are dead. Either way Live is garbage.

Re: First NBA Live 09 Screenshots

screenshots are just that screenshots. hopefully it IS early captures just so that the media can start rolling in and probably see how the photos take on the internet thats all.

the areas where NBA Live need to improve is solely in it's animations and physics engines. they(EA) have amazing resources and that is evident in games like Fifa 08/Euro 2008. ball physics are almost EA's speciality now IF you take Fifa into account ONLY. I'm just hoping their OTHER sports titles follow the same evolution that fifa has. live owes a lot to the fifa franchise because basketball is seen more so from a side to side angle on tv and now in video games. Not only that,but you have the constant control with the ball with your hands and vice versa with your feet in fifa.

Seriously for NBA LIVE to progress it needs to have the same type of ball phsyics and reaction animations that Fifa has...........

Good point Tomba, I think improving the look to lives animations and also it's ball physics you'd instantly see a much better game. FIFA has some great ball physics and I sincerely hope that the folks in Vancouver can replicate that for NBA Live as well. What I find amazing with EA is how they don't seem to be able to share resources like this all that easy. If EA could start taking some of the best aspects of all of their games and putting them in across the board in some form or fashion (in terms of how to do commentary, graphical enhancements, etc.) you'd see their whole lineup's quality skyrocket.

You can almost tell that the player movement is awkward like it was last year just from the photos. The rest of the game didn't bother me, just the player movement.

Re: First NBA Live 09 Screenshots

You realize how early of a build it is, and there are no 2K9 screenshots, and even if they didn't improve from last year, 2K9 will NEVER be able to compete with graphics in LIVE so no on here should be talking.

It's post like these that create "trolling" and that personal attack type nature on these forums. Because you have some one TELLING another person something very subjective as if it's a fact of matter. That creates situations where disagreements turn into something ugly. I happen to be someone who prefers the look and graphics of 2k basketball, and for someone to tell me it'll NEVER compete just leads me to have a lack of respect for that person and his opinion. Anyway. I don't care what this game stills look like, I hope that I don't need bshadows and tomba to "fix" this game on day one!!!

They still are using the hunchback player models. The players look like apes on the court.
