LOL @ Ben Wallace running backwards, yet still having the forward animation.

 

[Doom_Bringer]

holy shit that looks great!!!!

 

[KarishBHR]

looks incredible... like, next gen... like better than madden

 

[DMczaf]

Wow...

 

[VisionaryQuest0]

Looks sexy...where's NBA2K6's gameplay video at BTW?

 

[PhatSaqs]

Looks great. Some of the animations look weird but hopefully they polish it good.

 

[newsguy]

Damn, can't wait to get home to see this. The new screens are great. It seems EA is putting lots of work into the stadiums for all their next gen titles.

 

[Mrbob]

Looks decent in motion but some of the players look like they are skating on the floor.

 

[dorio]

Wow, that looks scary good. It's like a pseudo real look to it.

 

[Outdoor Miner]

Awesome graphics, but I am now for certain NBA2k6 gets my money.

Gameplay is too arcadey and they STILL skate on the hardwood.

 

[Matrix]

Looks hot,again EA is creating some amazing stadiums and crowds in Madden and this.

I love that camera too.

I just wish we can get some real trailers for this and madden like the Fifa one.

 

[Ramirez]

Wow,aside from the sliding,which didn't seem noticeable all the time that was pretty damn amazing,the way the crowd reacted and such *thumbs up*

Get this guys,I hear Live has a "defensive stance" button,what will they think of next,VC take notes! :lol

I like these vids better,I just wish the people playing didn't suck so bad

I prefer gameplay vids like this. It shows how its really going to look when I get it home and play it.

 

[hgplayer1]

looks great except for the already mentioned skating backwards animation. tone it down and it wont be a gamebreaker. crowd looks great. good lighting.

 

[Zep]

That looked good...and you really cant notice the sliding at all...That camera angle is horrible though.

2k, its your turn.

Oh I do too,I would just like maybe longer gameplay vids and some bigger vids.The fifa trailer I could atleast see things better.

Am I the only one who does not have IGN insider???


I can't see shit...

They're still using the Live '95 engine.

Better shaders though.

cant notice the sliding? which video did you watch?

 

[Shaheed79]

I think the player models looked really awkward in motion. Something about the arms and the skeletal animation it needs work. Overall I say although the models and the animation is superior to the current gen versions it was nothing really ground-breaking like the giant leap I would like to see.

You're smoking something. Even with the little flaws this is the best looking sports title I've ever seen this gen or next.

 

[Ramirez]

I was just watching it again and damn the crowd just gives it that extra oomph into making it look like a real telecast...November is so far away now

Thats a pretty bold statement.

I couldn't have said it better myself. This is EA Bullshit. I love the past EA but this next gen move is exposing them. Why the hell do they skate so damn bad? The crowd makes me want to jerk off because it's sooo HOTTT!!! But the skating is too noticeable.

Look at Jerry Stackhouse when he gets the ball near the three point line. He takes like 8 steps back, but skates damn near the whole time backing up. What the hell EA?

 

[Kleegamefan]

Dumbass me just figured out how to click the "Watch it now" button :lol


At any rate, it *does* look very nice....much better than any current gen NBA game, thats for sure....

If they can fix some of the animations it would be just about perfect


That said, I CANT WAIT for the next gen street Basketball games....imagine how much detail those games will have since they wont have to render 10 players (plus refs) at once!!!

Press the "watch it now" button and you should be able to stream it.

All I can say is wow! It really does look pretty realistic, the lighting is especially effective in that vid.

edit - too late

 

[op_ivy]

wow, looks great. i'll definitely be picking up either this or 2k6 and this video just made the decision quite a bit harder. lets see what 2k6 looks like from gameplay angles

And stadium crowds.

Thats a pretty bold statement.

Which sports title has impressed you the most visually?

 

[masud]

Looks terrible. Whats up with the animation?

 

[trmas]

The forward running animation looks good, backward skates a little. Still, looks really good.

 

[Zep]

2k6

 

[Ninja Scooter]

that looked damn impressive. Some of the little quirks though are stuff from last gen that should have been fixed by now. The skating animation stuff and also the transitional ball animations, the way the ball looks like its a split second behind or there is some kind of lag (and really floaty) when they pass it.
