old?

 

[The Faceless Master]

for some reason, it looks worse than 2... i just don't know what it is, but it just doesn't look right...

 

[ManDudeChild]

Those trees are seriously messed up.

 

[neptunes]

I agree

 

[Ninja Scooter]

the players look like they're melting.

 

[Master Z]

I kinda like how it looks like a cartoon with realistic lighting (though the shine is a little over the top in some areas). I think the look fits the over the top, fantasy gameplay.

 

[DarienA]

Wow I had no idea Baltimore had a well-known court... I wonder what kind of condition it's in these days? I may have to ride by it this weekend to see if the thing is even still there.

We must get rid of these super hi-res shots... wth...

 

[Matlock]

Everyone's wearing Kobe moon shoes!

 

[Chony]

They are all vaselined up! How can they dribble a baskettball without it slipping away from their hands? This looks rediculous.

I said the same thing when I saw last year's screenshots. I will wait until I see the game in motion before making any judgements. Either way, I know the gameplay will be spot on.

 

[royale]

Why does this look like a break-dancing sim and not a basketball game?

 

[DMczaf]

WTF, is that T-Mac's voice in the new trailer?

 

[Beezy]

The trees look like they came straight out of Viewtiful Joe...

 

[etiolate]

Did they carve those players out of butter?

 

[acklame]

wtf is up with player model?

 

[Takuan]

Looks pretty good to me, except Too Easy has a peanut of a head. If anything he has a big head.

 

[Late Stage Marxist]

Court textures are pathetic. PS2 shots?

 

[john2kx]

there's actually playing basketball, and then there are guys pretending to play basketball but in actuality just dancing around and being stupid.

 

[Ninja Scooter]

and Tmac looks more like AC Green in that first screen.

 

[automagnus]

It looks like they used the Gran Tourismo engine (make everything shiney) on the player models.

Did anyone notice that in the last pic everyone in the top row of the audience has no feet?

No has been able to do trees well. This is probably going to be a next gen thing.

 

[Minotauro]

<shrugs> I think it looks pretty good...not realistic or anything but nice in a stylized kinda way.

 

[olimario]

 

[Schmo Florez]

The players aren't shiny enough.

Seriously folks, I know we're all very critical here but these screens truly are ridiculous!

 

[Truelize]

I think it looks cool. Well the players look cool at least. The ground looks pretty bad.

I hope you don't have to wear "bling". I don't mind having the options but I hope the game doesn't wind up having some "Rep" building part to it or something. You know, kinda like how in NFSU you had to change your car parts to change your points multiplier. That would suck.

 

[Fifty]

Damn, I thought they'd tone down the grease.

 

[soundwave05]

I think they're going for an even more "stylized" look.

Anyways, is Jordan in this game?

That's all that matters.

I wanna run a three man squad of MJ-Bron-KG.

 

[u_neek]

EA and graphics have always been a no-no...

 

[Fixed2BeBroken]

looks like he got milk moustache

 

[Dsal]

And their uniforms... apparently made from the finest 600-thread count silks, with the texture of buttery satiny indulgence.

 

[DaCocoBrova]

Those are doctored to high heaven. I'm sure it'll look much better in 'real life'.

 

[MightyHedgehog]

*shrugs*

I like the look of the characters. They have a stylized, air-brushed/acrylic look to them. I mean, this isn't exactly a sim-series or anything.

 

[Oni Link 666]

Those textures so bad! I mean, the stretching and the blurriness! Would it kill them not to stretch that court like that and maybe put a little bump map on it? :lol

 

[DSN2K]

major photoshop job on these screens.

 

[impirius]

EA Lighting (TM) strikes again!

It doesn't matter what the game is... the model is always:
Camera ----> Greased up character ----> spotlight
