I'm going to be fair and say that it looks a LOT better than the "teaser". They picked the worst possible scene to show off in the teaser.

It looks like it might not be a total abomination and it doesn't look completely horrible, but they kept cutting away from 5 vs 5 to get any real sense of gameplay.

Contest animations look decent. Brief glimpse of defensive animations look decent. Some jump shots look decent, some look pretty bad and awkward. Looks like a PC mod for a mediocre cur-gen game.

Dribbling looks good to very good for the most part but no idea how it controls. The transition from dribble to drive for Rose looked extremely ugly and robotic. At least they'll have something to take into next year.

Twitchy transition animations abound, which is expected for a game that's had such a short development time.

Not good. Definitely not "next-gen" looking. Not Elite 11 at least. No comparison to the "other game".

Looks like they found the Live 10 engine and pumped up the graphics... To bad it's 4 years old now.

Don't start this argument again.

The guy said Real Time.

And he is correct.

I could not care less to address you. If I was going to address you I would. I really don't care what you type. It's just frustrating watching people try to reason with you when your responses amount to nothing more than nuh uh.

Just my personal opinion and I will admit thati did a poor job describimg the art styles lol.

I don't see Live going for a "broadcast" quality over 2K. 2K will likely look better in broadcast cam as well because of the realism of its lighting and skin shaders.

2K's "art style" is simply due to them not having as advanced shaders as 2K, with worse models and inconsistent animation quality, and as a result it looks much more last-gen and cartoony. Live's art direction has always been spotty when it came to the players themselves.

You called them "sheep". Dont try to be cute. Its an indirect insult to people who were supporting the other game.

Since NBA Live has the Madison Square Garden name on the NYK's court, would 2k also be having the name rights as well?

# 328 cbpo @ 10/18/13 02:57 PM

I didn't think it was bad. Obviously needs a lot of work though.

The thing I liked the most was the Kobe fadeaway, was the most realistic looking part of the vid imo

Yeah, the bias is pretty crazy.

"But I like how Live looks worse-- I mean 'different'."

No because stadium deals are done with the owner of the stadium not through the NBA licensing deal. If 2k has the MSG name it means they did a deal with MSG.

It's always been that way since EA and 2K first went up against each other. In the beginning EAs models were preferred by the majority to VC's models in both football and basketball. Only thing is over time EA rested on their models making slight tweaks and changes while VC would take their through major overhauls and in the end it appears that the VC models were kind of like the ugly duckling and were easier to turn into much better looking models.

You may not agree with his opinion (I certainly do not) but it doesn't mean a back and forth should ensue, because no-one wins in that case.

There's no back and forth. I had him on ignore as soon as I responded, but my original point was that there is no reason to try and directly reason with people about their opinions of the game, especially when it's obviously one sided pro or con. I still don't understand why people with opinions that strongly even go on a forum. What's the point, you aren't there to ask other opinions you are just there to try and shoot down anything someone may say about a game you had zero part in making.

When a person working for the company tweets out "Legit 5-on-5 gameplay coming tomorrow" then yes. Yes it means something other than shots zoomed in to people's faces.

Don't give me this first real trailer of substance stuff man. They know what they're trying to hide. Both companies.

Dont get banned. Just let it go. If you read my original post, I gave this warning to everyone. So you have a choice: Respond again and get banned or let it go (and your passive agressive beef with Dogslax) and remain a member of OS.....your choice.

Couple of feet too high. - Seems to still be a force field between collisions. Kobe sliding Rose back in air. - Hardens beard went through his jersey. - Kobe's face looks a bit off to me. Looks a bit wide and undefined in the chin/jaw. - They dont have the proportions right on any of the faces if you look at it from a 45 degree angle, they look incredibly chubby. Hands look like sausages. - Chris Kaman's beard is too dark and doesn't represent his current look. He doesn't even look like Chris Kaman - Xavier Henry's model isn't replicated in real life - Derek Fisher's face looks like the current gen just used for trailer purposes - Kobe Bryant's face has a lot of discoloration and some of his face features need more tweaking like his jaw and nose - Russell Westbrook also has some issues with his face and head - Kevin Durant needs a little more tweaking on the face - Lebron's face is a bit chubby - Udonis Haslem's face needs tweaking - Nick Young's face needs tweaking And they showed us very little to no actual 5v5 gameplay. Mostly game stoppages such as intros, free throws, celebrations, etc.

That's a bit over critical don't you think? If you disect both videos, or any game for that matter, you are going to find issues. After all they are videogames attempting to replicate the real world, impossible to perfect. When it comes to graphics I think its fair to say that on first view and looking at both games with an open mind 2k looks better. I don't want to get into the whole arguement about which one does what better, which one does what worse, or which one focuses on this not that, or which one is zoomed in too much. If we were to look at both videos and take a poll about which one looks more like real life I say 2k wins by a wide margin.

Although I do agree about kobes face looking off. That was one thing that kinda stood out to me. Everyone else face was looking spot on then they showed kobe and I thought "hmm something looks a little off"

The YouTube video has more dislikes than likes. Don't bite my head off, but that makes me kind of feel bad for them. I know it's their own doing but that's just gotta hurt. I don't see this game selling much at all.

You have to take some of that and just attribute it to people just hating EA. Mostly because of the bad blood Madden has created in the industry. It honestly doesn't look that bad. It just doesn't look Next Gen next to 2K. And the cartoon art style is going to turn off a lot of people. In the end they are going to move some units. The question is how much damage was done by 2k looking that much better?

Yeah.. I don't feel bad for them one bit. It's EA sport not some random amateurs. They're more worried with how to market their products than their products themselves. They get what they deserve.
