hey on behalf of everyone with 20/20 vision... these graphics suck!!!
I disagree. The faces are VERY close and the lighting is good. It's not perfect, but I don't expect any game to have perfect lighting because modeling light exactly is still a growing science. I think the faces are quite excellent - the point of HoosierDaddy's post. The models as a whole can be debated.
I'll just use this as my example because Staples Center is notorious for having harsh light differences from the crowd to the court. Again, I'm not saying the lighting is off, I'm saying that the shadows and lights that are hitting the players on the court shouldn't be so drastic. You do not see dead spots in light on the court, it's all in the crowd and benches.
Everything about the court is wrong on Live 13, which I don't understand it even looks smaller.........
Now Live 06 thru 10 got Staples correct and in size........even the jumbotron was correct in the old games...why is it wrong now and the court is smaller in 13....
Honestly the graphics are good, outside of animation of course. There is alot of things I see that are better than 2k but some not so much, like some faces and body types.
I hope my whole point on these comparisons isn't being lost in the chatter. I don't care about the graphics, as much as I do animations, but I think you can see my point here as well.
The doctored version of my Tony Parker image, as far as skin color and even muscle definition is 10x better than the screen cap from the video. At least get the skin color right and stop worrying about lighting and shadows. I think I speak for the majority of the community in saying that we will take a hit graphically, if the movements/animations/gameplay resembles that of it's real-life counterpart. The foundation is crumbling on this game and they're worried about intricate details.
Had the Clippers jersey not been on him, I wouldn't have guessed Chris Paul in a thousand tries. C'mon... best graphics this gen??? I'm literally worried for some of you because that's a scary, scary statement.
I get if you don't like the other offering out there, really, I do. But to make proclaimations like that... at this point you're just trying to convince yourself that this is a good effort.

Not understanding that.
