The screenshots don't do the game justice. Based on the demo, the players look great while your playing, so that's all that matters. I love 2ks graphics as well, especially the faces!

2k has every little detail in there player models. The only issue with live are the faces IMO.

Can't wait till tuesday

Live's Ray Allen looks better but that's about it...

I like the player faces for the most part. Glad I can see LBJ's tat's in his pic as well. After seeing a picture of him with no tat's on his arms... I got worried, haha.

Steve, any chance for some videos today? Cavs at Knicks maybe?

Not bad. Some look good. Some look terrible.

It's the same as it has been for years. Some are really good, then others are just bad. Consistency, like a few have said.

I like looking at the screens, but now I have a strange urge to drink some Sprite...

I've said it time and time again that the graphics are simply amazing from a technical standpoint. Very very high quality.

With that said, the player faces are absolute trash. 90% of the league looks nothing like their real life counterpart. And you guys have only seen these few.

As someone else mentioned "Dirk... eww." He has to be the single worst looking face on a recognizable star, perhaps even the entire NBA.

The textures are high quality but the likeness is ridiculously poor and off the mark.

That said, it doesn't make or break the game IMO. There's a lot of good here.... with potential for a stellar game next year. Still, very enjoyable this year. Just needs some fine-tuning.

This is "...eww"

So you guys think this is much better? (I'm asking)

I just don't see it...I'm sorry. I guess I am just a fanboy?
