Very nice... not jaw dropping to me, but certainly feels next gen

Yay for plastic arms!

I'm sure it'll look fine in motion and less noticable... but

This game, out of all the next gen screenshots I've seen, seems to have the biggest problem with their specular 'situation'. That and the models just don't look right (uncanny valley) -- although the fight night models shown at the ps3 demo didn't really have that problem. These guys look lifeless.

Wow, the commentary is really boring :?

And the gameplay/animation really pale in comparison to the graphics. The graphics look very good overall at a distance. I liked the NBA 2k animation better.

NBA

Next-gen shows just how bad EA's modellers are, yeesh.

Not too convincing IMO, realistic muscle movements are still a few years off, now it just feels very static/plastic-like.

EA sucks.

netgen fight night characters are the best i've seen to date.Plus ,they'll be entirely and hightly customable and proceduraly deformed by hits during gameplay.

I can't wait to see the New Madden (The non prerendered one). It seems as though the NBA series is the black sheep of sports games for EA, or is it not? I have more experience with Madden then the NBA series so I don't know how EA treats their prior NBA games...are they crappy to?

EDIT: Crappy as in crappy visualy.

 

[Johnny Awesome]

EA. What can you say?

 

[-NakedZ-]

I'm looking more forward to NBA 2K series than EA's. Too bad we won't see ESPN NFL 2Ks for the next five years.

What I don't understand that you got Fight Night...that had an amazing Demo, then you got this. I wonder if its just the team that is working on the Next Gen NBA 2006 or is it that this game needs more development time. Maybe their tweaking the gameplay (Player movements, Settting up different Offensive and Devensive Strategy and Computer AI) THEN work on Visuals....who knows, I guess we'll find out near or at the release of 360.

Well I should have specified, their NBA Live modellers. I've always hated they way NBA players look in their games.
