I was thinking the same thing. Liking the fact that Dwight is actually looking at the ball while blocking it.

If I'm going by the screens alone I would've never guessed these were next gen. They could've released the game on current gen if they wanted to...

Good on EA though for releasing info about the game in the coming weeks.

Agree with your overall post, but this...

Are we forgetting the Live franchise's previous positioning here? This was THE basketball game of choice for a long, long time. It's dominance was once thought to be on the level of Madden.

But I think people are expecting a more "photorealistic" graphical style going into next-gen gaming. Live's graphics look really detailed, but it's like it's almost SO detailed it begins to look fake, and LOOK like a video game. Hopefully, Live goes for photorealism or a "broadcast" look in the future.

But to me, Live puts a lot of detail in their graphics, but they don't balance it out to look natural, or what you would see in a picture or on TV. I don't know, compare 2k's in-game Dwight to Live's, and compare both to a real picture of Dwight. You can look at Live and tell it's a video game. 2k's next-gen graphics looks like the real thing sometimes.

And I'm not saying Live looks bad, they just have a different way of going about their graphics, as others have said.

I know exactly what you mean and I agree, this same video game perspective issue exists in Madden too, imo. EA, at least Tiburon, seems to focus on making high res video games versus making the video game look as life like as possible. This philosophy also seems to spill over into movement and animations, where EA's focus is video game control versus representing realistic motion.

The main reason EA sports games are no longer my cup of tea is due to the fact they seem to want to play up video game aspects instead of immersing the gamer with as much realism as possible. An apt comparison might be watching a movie in HD versus watching that same movie in HD at 120hz, where the movie begins to look like a live on-stage play, both look good but the latter is far more visually realistic.

Screens look great. 2 weeks from release and still no gameplay footage, though. I'm not expecting any either.

It's looking like EA and 2K are Saint's Row and Grand Theft Auto with their approaches to be quite honest.

Something is up with the proportions. The net and rim look huge to me. Maybe it's the angle but it just looks odd to me.

There is a creepy feel to things..almost a lifeless look.
