Game is going to be dope

Max Payne 3 is as good as you can get graphically on the 360.



2k13 is going to be nowhere near that in facial quality.

This is Crysis on a PC from 5 years ago and on a 360 from 1 year ago.



This is NBA 2k12 on PC with a realistic graphics mod that the regular 360 is incapable of getting.



This is NBA 2k12 on 360 and PS3

.

Can we stop comparing a PC to a console please? The amount of resources (not to mention pure power) the PC has just completely dwarfs anything the 360 is capable of.

Well said, thank you for clearing that up for all these people complaining about graphics.

I don't think he's comparing PC to console. He's just wondering why 2K does get some NBA players right, but also does get some players wrong. It's an artistic thing it's not about having better graphics quality or a better resolution.

You guys need to all stop with the '2K12 sucked' hyperbole nonsense. No, the game did not suck, it was a great game with flaws. To try to recreate something that actually has an OBSERVABLE real-life counterpart (we're talking sports here, not warfare, not swords & shields, not zombies, not fantasy adventures) is not easy, because a lot of it has the human elements of unpredictability and subtlety.

1. Trying to get faces that take shaving, haircuts, acne, facial contortions, and speech into account is near-impossible, and not many other games get close to even attempting this.
2. Ok, I'll give you that online was a poor experience in the last few years. But there are other parts of the game that still give you a BASKETBALL experience 2nd to none. Try MyPlayer or get a friend to actually come over for User vs. User.

Just...do better than them before you criticize the game. All we can ask is that they fix the FLAWS. Anything beyond that is a feature they put in the game. And before you start trying to break down my argument, just realize that I don't want to spend the time trying to write up an essay about this crap. I'm just sick of the hyperbole, honestly.

I understand that, but don't use the PC community. That's not the place you want to go to support your point becuase they have sooooooooooooooooooooooooo (for emphasis lol) many more tools on PC than the developers are capable of on console. The only thing that comes even remotely close is the PS3, and even that's a long shot. Especially considering the trend of sports games looking WORSE on PS3 (which makes NO sense by the way).

At least compare across the same platform. Compare Madden, Fifa, and PES to NBA 2k in terms of facial design and stuff. And even then you'll see those games struggle to get player faces right. It's not simply a 2k problem.
