Well, that was a fun thread. Now it's time to be...

No one said Live's graphics were perfect, either. But they are vastly further along than 2K's right now. Differing artistic styles aside, if you think 2k's dated graphics are still better/more realistic than Live's right now, then you are less capable of being objective than you believe. Or perhaps you should get Lasik, like I did

No, no need to post that picture for the 20th time to excuse every flaw some one points out in a Live screenshot . By the way, my post was about Live, which is the forum we're in. I'm just pointing out that glitches happen (yes, even in Live!) I'll just post this and leave it alone, because no, I don't like making excuses for one game by comparing another:

Spoiler

I could post some of the many times arms look like they're going out of socket or the aforementioned free throw glitch and try to frame that as how Live models look all the time....but that would be silly....and pointless.

As far as objectivity....I'm not in a thread about a mode talking about how the game looks last gen from some second long snippets., or coming at everyone who doesn't praise a screenshot as a work of art in another thread because I'm a fan of that game. I praise and criticize both games...and will continue to do so.

BTW this is Live 15 Nerlens (sorry for the quality) he looks good to me!



I really just think it's the expression he's making throwing him off for folks....

Looks good to me.

Exaggerate much?

"No, no need to post that picture for the 20th time"
-- the 2nd time ...

"to excuse every flaw some one points out in a Live screenshot"
-- 1) it wasn't excuse making, it was a simple comparison to what we have graphically in current games, 2) when I posted the 2k screenshot, there wasn't even any malice behind or intent to tear down 2k, it was a simple comparison, and you chose to add emotion to my post.

"I'm not in a thread about a mode talking about how the game looks last gen"
-- I asked the question, "does this confirm that the graphics have not been updated?" It was well within my right to inquire about that. As for thinking they were beginning to look last-gen, that's my opinion. 2K's jump to next-gen was stunning at launch, but they are becoming dated. And if you were wondering why I was even in a 2K thread to begin with -- because I own NBA2k as well, and I want to see a leap in graphics from them. So [if] that trailer was a preview of things to come, then I am going to be disappointed, and I was expressing that.

" from some second long snippets"
-- the video was a minute long and, aside from some menu clips, showed player models, jersey editing, courts, brief gameplay animations throughout it...and it looked the exact same as 2k15. At the very least, any upgrades in graphics wasn't a leap. So yes, based on that, I don't feel my assessment was far off.

"or coming at everyone who doesn't praise a screenshot as a work of art"
-- I'm not coming at everyone. And I am allowed to question or challenge someone else's comment. I've said umpteen times, Live is not "perfect" or a work of "art". If you cared to read into my critical comments about Live and its graphics as much as you do my praise for them, you'd realize I don't think its perfect.


Everything else, you're just taking my comments to some emotional level that wasn't intended.

read through my post again just to make sure...didn't mention any emotions...but I've said my piece...won't derail the thread anymore.....

We'll see what the next screen shot looks

[Live2K]

See how much better these pic threads are when it's not Kobe!

He looks great to me! A tad bulkier than in real life but his face is good.

I feel like a get suckered into this every year though. Live posts a super up close screen shot and it looks incredible, zoom out 5 feet and my opinion completely changes. We shall see.
