I don't get how one "looks like a PS2 game" and the other doesn't, when it's essentially using the same technology and art design. Different animations? Yes. Different presentation? Yes. Different sport? Undoubtedly. Maybe better attention to facial detail as well, but I just don't see how one game can be so incredibly shot down for its textures compared to that of its brother which looks about the same. Again, not referring to gameplay video.

I was under the impression that ALL of 2K's sports titles used the same or similar graphics engine this entire generation, from baseball, basketball, the All-Pro Football game, the hockey series, even that awful boxing game they came out with all used a similar art style. The only ones that seemed to do it's own thing were The Bigs and the Virtua Tennis games.

But yeah I think in the case of MLB vs. NBA, it just seemed that they dedicated more effort to mo-cap and optimizing animations to the NBA series than to MLB. But hell, even that game has its deficiencies when it comes to smooth transitions between animations, most noticeably in it's real time presentation package.

I just wanted to throw this out there. The Bigs 2 was developed by Blue Castle Games and only published by 2K, so Visual Concepts ( 2K's development team ) didn't develop that one.

This is not looking good for 2ksports, I hope those videos were made in beta stages, no way those graphics are complete...Faces, textures, colors and all are just horrendous!

2k sports put this out only as a desperation act knowing that it is the only baseball game for xbox and knowing no matter what it looked like people will still buy the game. What i don't get is that 2k doesn't seem to change at all graphics wise every year, I mean even the ps Vita has better graphics for mlb 13 the show than mlb 2k13.

Just picked up 2k7 today for 360 and if 2k13 comes out at $60 ill gladly keep playing 2k7 even though I like the pitching now so much better.

It looks like 2k12 to me. I doubt they had much time to work on it. That said I thought 2k12 was an awesome game and really underrated. Not sure if I'm going to waste money on the new version though. I'm pretty happy with last years and updated rosters.

I realize there is a high probability the game is the same as 2K12 but I am still holding out hope some work was done. Mt Oread, I don't need many changes to give 2k13 a buy but the one thing (big I realize) I want changed is the bat off the ball physics and excessive opposite field homers improved.
