NBA 2k6 for 360 Holy Crap

Raping the H Scroll, but it's worth it.

Further proof that EA won't do it with madden, not because they can't, but because they don't have to.

*Sniff* WAAAAAAAAAAAAA I Want NFL2k6.

looks way better than the crap they call madden

The jerseys make it look like ass in my eyes.

EDIT: And when put in with the players, the ball looks like something from ClipArt.

Indeed, those are the best humanoid figures I've seen to date.

The jerseys seem to be resting on some invisible extension of their bodies which reach out approx. 2-3 inches from where their physical selves appear to end...

I think it's an exaggeration of gravity and air resistance against the jerseys to give the illusion that the players are actually moving in a real environment under the same physics that control our clothing in the midst of a fast game of ball...

They just went a bit overboard, then again, who's going to notice or care about that during actual gameplay. And I doubt their clothes hang from invisble clothing lines when their standing still...

The graphics are impressive but I can't say I'm excited in any way shape or form. Sports games in general, but usually specifically EA Sports games, never cease to disappoint me.

You'd think that since they can make sweat bead from players heads, jerseys float when a player jumps, eyes that follow the play, and look realistic, a crowd that looks like they are real people, with all of that, you would think they could make the ****ing ball round. Or at least not look like it was edited in with MSPaint.

Well they did a horrible job!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

... Not really I'm sure it looks great in motion, it just looks funny in stills... I can see it doing that if they were coming down from a jump, but there's a guy there who is holding his arms out... Another guy running forward... And the jersies are still 3 inches above their shoulders... :>

I gotta say, that looks very awesome. Now to nitpick just a smidge.

It looks next gen but it feels like...if given another 6 months of time MS puts into XB360, could look a ton better. Granted, as it looks, its very very good. But like...with those closeups, the outlines of the body look "weird". If you look hard enough, you see what I mean.

Don't take what I said as Microsoft bashing or whatever. It looks great nonetheless but hopefully 2k7 fixes some of the graphic issues I see with 2k6

I noticed that as well. It kind of feels like the were photoshopped in.

The outlines, my friend, are a product of "EA Glow". They're even in Burnout. I'm assuming the EA corporation will probably make it even more defined by the time this game comes out.

EA Glow looked nice at first but now it's terrorism.

This isnt an EA game.

WHAT HAS EA DONE TO MY MIND

DAMN THEM

(It's still glowing even though it's not EA glow. And if the edges weren't jaggy in these screenshots, I'd be damn skeptical.)

Typhoid · 10-02-2005, 09:44 PM

EA glow?

You mean realiztic lighting?
