Shoes are still blurry, accessories have always looked painted on and the exact same tattoo options since 2k6. 2k series has barely improved each year, other than switching the button configuration, removing and adding animations, and changing the way it presents itself with flash. I'm the biggest 2k guy and everyone on OS knows it, but it's really time to come with it. And Take Two still don't seem to care that NBA Series has competition and they need new technology, not just new animations and flashy download features.

"If it ain't broke don't fix it". That is the motto of majority of businesses, now if Live brings it and more people switch to Live then 2k, 2k will have to come with a new game engine, But remember they have a short development cycle., If 2k wants a new engine for 2k11 that means they would have been working on it last year, if that makes sense, U don't build a new engine from the ground up in a 1 year cycle in this case basically 10 month cycle.

I agree and it's past due, they've known the limitations since Xbox1. Did it really take 5 (360) games for them to realize that!

Call me a sucker cause I'm hungry for the bait. So you are saying that they need to scrap their graphics completely or do they need to invest in something to make their players pop off the screen? Used the "overhaul" post every hear but the game looks lovely my 1080p display. Please give me a breakdown of what youthink is past due?

It's a argument I'd rather not continue, as it never changes. You say it looks great and so does everyone else. Guess I got spoiled on how much they use to change every year to how they just barely evolve since they got to 360 and PS3.

But everyone is happy with the cartoony looking graphics they have now! So it's point!

Praise them! they are doing a great job with this pointless I have to pay for feature. $5 or not, it should be included for free!

The main reason why I say it is good is because you get to play with the game a little early, thats it.

Mike Wang said they ported it from last gen to current gen. Which is awful and they just add shiny textures and animations to make up for it.

If people think 2K looks great theyre zombies.
