Faces aren't high on my priority list. 2K wins by a mile, but it doesn't really matter to me. The just gotta get the animations right for each player.

Not in 09

	Textures are only going to get you so far in way of graphics. The proportions and likenesses of the player models are outright horrible. Kobe has a 30 lb head for crying out loud!

agreed, and both games have failed on certain players.

	Nobodies mentioned the Pierce shot. Nothing in that photo including the complexion remotely resembles Paul Pierce. Even the models like Iverson which resemble them, still have a very distinct Pixar cartoony look to them

.

It has been mentioned. It is actually mo capped jumpshot data from PAUL PIERCE himself. Its not the devs fault that he decided to shoot causally in the practice session which is something that he does. I do hope they can fix it next year though.

We've talked about this in this forum with beluba just a few days ago.

'The pierce shot' , by that I think he meant the screen shot, not his actual sig shot. Just a heads up.

I wasn't referring to his shot animation. In shot, I meant his face shot. It just doesn't resemble Pierce. And again the head is way too big for his body.

Gotcha, and as far as the proportions of the models, thats been a gripe for years now.

I decided that I'm picking up LIVE tomorrow no matter what, I will but both and keep the one I play more.

The store I go to is getting LIVE first, I think I will just get both and hey maybe I keep both, or just keep the one I play more and sell the other one, thats all.

What if I want to take screenshots or video captures? They'll all have a Sprite logo on them. It is a deal-breaker for me, yes, because the replays should belong to the user to view the play that happened, as well as to store and treasure, not to be bludgeoned over the head with advertising.

Besides, they obviously don't need my money. They have that extra little pittance of advertising revenue.

Incredibly annoying, and it speaks volumes about EA. I already see hundreds of Sprite ads in the game as it is, and now they need to be on replays?

And I'm not a 7-Up guy. I drink Coke (same company), but the last thing I want is ads on my HUD. In the background? Fine. On the ad-boards, fine. Right on the screen for my replays is unnatural, and as I mentioned, it only shows Live is concerned about revenue streams.

Same goes for the guys in the stands wearing EA Sports sweatshirts... yeah, when I go to the games, I always grab my EA Sports sweatshirt... It's stupid, and the game will just be a bunch of ads with intermittent basketball. I'll sit this one out, thank you very much.

I'ma tell yall now..some of these screen shots dont do the faces justice at all..I saw Brand after a foul and I had to double take lol..the same with VC and AI2 at times
