NBA Live didn't get everything right, but most of their faces are flat out better. I appreciate their art more now.

Live definitely does some things better in the art, visual department but I feel like that doesn't always translate from a gameplay camera. gameplay and animation could play a role here. Life like, photo realistic graphics lose usually an edge when the animations aren't fluid. Whatever it is I always think Live looks great in screenshots a even trailers but while playing I'm not as impressed.

Players look more unrealistic or something. Cartoony even. Just not blown away by this.

I realize they wouldn't do that ($$$$$$), but it'd probably be for the best.

But you have to remember what the developers want and what the publisher wants and says are two different things. Rob Jones said that the week early release date thew them off. Which tells me that they don't have much pull or say when it comes to development time. That's got to be tough for a developer. Some people harp on the developers for the things that don't get fixed but they need to remember that the developers only have so much time to hit everything. I'm sure there are plenty of sacrifices in terms of areas they want to improve each year.

As great as extra development time would be it will never happen for a game like 2k unless sales really go down or there is an issue during development. I love 2k but my hope is that at some point the nba Live team fully utilizes the extra development time and delivers a ground breaking experience we've never seen before.

Fix the damn courts! Lighting looks horrible, way too dark btw.

Well, cartoony only has one definition so it's not like there's much to explain.

Unless that's just the hyperbolic effect, in which I can understand because that's been the overriding theme for the last week.

unless, of course, cartoony means one thing for him, and another for you. which is why u let him explain it.
