2K5 looks terrible on the 360

[dragon4ever]

I'm playing on a 21 inch HD monitor hooked up to my 360 Elite via a HDMI cable and the quality of the graphics are worse than on the original Xbox. First of all, the color of the game is way too dark. I set the brightness on the monitor to the max and it's still too dark. Second, the game doesn't fit the entire screen. I have all my settings set to widescreen and have my consloe set to 1280 x 1024. All the other games that I play look fantastic on these extact same settigs. Is this a common issue with playing 2K5 on the 360?

I went back to playing it on the regular XBOX. On the 360 you have to turn your 360 resolution to 480i and turn off widescreen then it looks better.

Neither do my Atari 2600 or Mattel Intellivision games.

That's your problem. You're playing it on a 21 inch screen. I'm playing it on a 42 inch and it looks great.

Flat screen size is the new pen1s envy!

I can overlook most of the graphic glitzes, but the white 5 yard lines on the field start to flicker, make it very annoying to the eyes. If someone knows how to rid of that problem, I'd love to try again.

I don't think it looks terrible, but it doesn't look very good either. There do seem to be some glitches - like the guy above me mentioned, I get the lines on the field flickering or disappearing constantly.

I have to agree. I am also playing it on a 42 inch screen and it looks spectacular. In fact, it looks so good that my wife didn't believe at first it was a last gen game.
