You give people enough of what they want, they get spoiled and want EVERYTHING ELSE because they think they have it coming because they got what they wanted the first time.

We're talking about polygons here

Its a video about blocks and rebounds (long time issues in NBA Live)..and a guy comes out of nowhere earlier today to compare polygons...

You are right.

Live has a next gen engine and they have way more detail in cloth faces and lighting.

2k does not have new technology just modified resolution with dx9 lighting

Only on OS does a thread about blocks and rebounds somehow turn into a debate about polygon counts.

The Josh Smith block was phenomenal, however, and let me say maybe it's just me because I am so looking for it, but the ball looked a little heavy coming off of a couple blocks(looks like it just went straight down:not matching the force of the block) and off the rim a couple of times

I hope I am wrong because it has been one of the biggest problems with Live on this gen, along with Bugs Bunny running

I just hope one game or the other can have players actually looking like they're holding the ball instead of the ball floating half an inch off their hands/finger going through it, etc. Still noticed that issue with 2K's screens, but Live's look pretty solid in that area (shot of just a hand dunking the ball on IGN).

Looking at the IGN full-resolution screens for both games (even the older shots of Live like the one with Deron passing), it's clear that Live has the edge in graphics technology. 2K still has aliasing issues with the fingers/hands/jerseys and it results in a strange pixely look that you get when seeing the full-resolution shot. I noticed this with 2K9 as well, but Live's models seemed smooth despite their other issues. I definitely believe Marcus when he says they're pushing more graphics in Live... my eyes tell the same story.
