Im gonna get Live 06. because it comes out much earlier Ill stick with that. When 2k6 comes out Ill buy it. The graphics in Live 06 look better in my opinion. I just think 2k6 is almost like sketchy. I do like this though:

And to build up your team even more you can take players through a series of 12 drills to increase their attribute points. Drills like Dribble and Shoot, Attack Basket, and Shooting will put a player like Lamar Odom on the court against a defender and you'll be given spots on the floor to shoot from. Sink the basket and earn points. Score enough points and your attribute points will increase for the season in the area you were working on. And to stop all 99's from happening, you can only workout one player a month and you can only use the same drill two times per season. This is the ultimate tool in molding your new draft picks as you can work him out in the areas he needs the most or in the areas your team is looking for a boost, and the increase in attribute points can be significant.

i think thats pretty cool.

I still say Live has better graphics... The 2k Nash looks like from the movie "day of the dead" and Garnett has bigger shin muscles than thigh muscles... And there are 2 inches of air between the pant and the leg in the picture above the leg when it is raised from the knee... It is not a full-plate armor that sticks to it's form...

All I'm saying basically is that comparing the still images of close-ups is just ridiculous... You'll be playing with the camera zoomed out as far as possible and you won't be looking at no still pictures either... It's all about the motion of the ocean... Stills of NBA games always look horrible...

I'm sure both games will have good graphics that do their meant jobs in their respective games... The graphics are good in both games... If one is slightly better than the other, so what? You won't be able to tell during the gameplay and if you're playing games for the graphics, you should just go watch the games live at an arena first row... There the graphics will be perfect... Games are always just that, games... The graphics serve a purpose which is to enable the player to tell who is out there on the court and what are they doing and where are they moving and basically are there to help you the player to make a decision based on what is shown on the screen.

The graphics are getting more realistic each year, but comparing the two is always just dumb... They fill their job well on both games...

And of course, to the gamer looking for depth and substance awesome graphics mean very little if the gameplay and Dynasty/Season mode is awful. Graphics and presentation certainly add to the realism and atmosphere of the game but won't mask shoddy gameplay and game modes for very long.

2k6 is not nba live. 2k6 is made by visual concepts, which used to be run by sega and used to have the espn license. these are not the same games.

:arrow: I agree with you Sir Andrew. Although NBA 2k6 is ahead in terms of Graphics, GAMEPLAY & Franchise speaking both LIVE06 & 2K6 should make it better..

You're right and that's pretty obvious.. Not only in graphics but same with player models, court size & net physics!

Look at the arms and height of SHAQ! Awful! His height looks the same w/ Tmac. And for AI pic, he looks like an addict or have taken too much diet!!

Let's just admit that VC always beat EA in graphics and with GAMEPLAY & FRANCHISE mode, we don't know yet at this point!

What you saw are just PS2 pics, what more if it's the NEXT-GEN version? :shock:

Well if it is truly a matter of opinion, then you shouldn't say someone is blind or a hypocrite for considering nba live's graphics better. Well I can't really tell which one's better because they each seem to have their advantages and disadvantages.

If you look at 2k sports
1. The characters look all hunched up. Seriously they all seem to have tiny shoulders.
2. Skin tones look sort of odd. They look too zombie-like.
3. Something just seems unnatural about them...maybe it's the hunched up nature.

Whereas nba live
1. Proportions are sort of weird...they all kind of look like midgets..
2. Court size and other stuff also seem to have problems.

Also...NOBODY PLAYS THE GAME THAT ZOOMED IN DO THEY. So what's the big deal? I zoom all the way out all the time. I'd be fine and dandy with pixelated graphics.
Bored.

In gameplay, 2K has a point in its bound: Low post plays. In NBA live is impossible to do decent footwork.

But the post moves in NBA 2K is too powerful to defend because of all the variations it has.

I don't like the idea of 2K starting over. Besides, from what I've seen of 2K, I have no idea how the game will actually play.

:arrow: What do u think are the reasons why we have no new updates??

Well I guess EA is preparing a much better and explosive trailers that could snatch the attention of the ball gamers who were now at high on the recent updates about NBA 2k6...

I really can't wait for this 2 greatest NBA videogames.......

HOOPS AND HIP-HOP JOIN FORCES THIS FALL AS NBA 2K6 VIDEO GAME PROMISES COMPLETE ENTERTAINMENT EXPERIENCE

Hip-Hop Luminaries, such as The Roots, Common, and Aceyalone, Provide Exclusive Original Songs, In-Game Appearances and National Tour to Promote Soundtrack
New York, NY – August 11, 2005 – 2K Sports, the sports publishing label of Take-Two Interactive Software, Inc. (Nasdaq: TTWO), today announced that NBA 2K6 will incorporate the deepest integration of music and sports video games to date by featuring a soundtrack of all original and exclusive music by hip-hop’s hippest acts, many of whom will tour to promote NBA 2K6 and also appear in The Entertainer's Basketball Classic (EBC) at Rucker Park mode, which allows gamers to play as their favorite rappers in this seminal street-ball tournament. By working with influential artists in the urban community, such as The Roots and Common, NBA 2K6 - which launches this fall for the PlayStation® 2 computer entertainment system, Xbox® video game and entertainment system from Microsoft, and the Xbox 360™ video game and entertainment system from Microsoft - will hit close to home with gamers who understand the relationship between hip-hop and hoops.

“Basketball and hip-hop culture have always been connected at the street level, so we wanted to ensure that NBA 2K6’s vibe is as authentic as the gameplay,” said Tim Rosa, director of marketing and promotions for 2K Sports. “By featuring exclusive original tracks, accompanied by both a tour and the ability to play as select musicians in the game, our pioneering approach to music integration marks a turning point in what is possible in the video game industry.”

One of NBA 2K6’s most distinctive features is the soundtrack. While having a custom song in a game is nothing new, NBA 2K6’s soundtrack boasts 14 original tracks created exclusively for the game by luminaries of hip-hop culture, such as The Roots, Common, RJD2, Jean Grae, Aceyalone, Aesop Rock, Lyrics Born, Zion I, Hieroglyphics and more. In addition to appearing in the game, these songs will be released by Decon Records on a compilation CD entitled “The Tracks.”

Taking the music integration element up a notch beyond the soundtrack is having select-featured artists, in tandem with other renowned hip-hop groups, playable in the first ever video game simulation of The Entertainer's Basketball Classic (EBC) at Rucker Park. Celebrity hip-hop talent are Method Man, Redman, Flava Flav, ?uestlove from The Roots, Common, and Aesop Rock, among others will contribute to this dynamic feature.

Rounding out the music integration campaign, will be the nationwide “2K Sports Bounce Tour” in promotional support of the game and its soundtrack. The tour, which is being headlined by The Roots and underground icons such as RJD2 and Aceyalone, is traveling to more than 30 top markets this fall. This is the first in a series of annual live events that bridge hip-hop, sports and video game culture by featuring renowned music artists, sports gaming kiosks, projection vignettes and celebrity and professional athlete appearances.

The 2K series of simulated sports games are produced by Visual Concepts, a Take-Two studio.

If you want to keep posting 2K stuff, do it in the Other Games forum. This is for NBA Live 06.

Topic split, you're just posting 2K6 stuff and that does not go in this forum section. I don't care how you try to disguise it.

The stills look like pieces of something you wipe off from your buttocks... The stills always look that way until they are 100% realistic looking and that will still take some time. Basing anything of the graphics on stills is just bad as you will never see the stills in the game...

I am sure that both games will look "fine" when they are in motion and when you have the camera zoomed all the way out as everyone has so calling me blind is just making you look extremely stupid and naive PinoyIDOL. And besides what I have gathered, you are nothing more than just a spammer and 2k series fan that just keeps on pushing the console sheit on us PC hardcore Live gamers...

:arrow: You just can't really accept that 2k6 graphics are far better than live06.. I'm not a 2k fanboy stupid Metsis. I'm just unbiased based on what I see.. This forum is not merely for pc gamers and I'm posting in general and not to persuade pc gamers to shift for consoles..

:arrow: I did not say that NBA 2k6 is better in general aspects but only for graphics area becu'z we have not yet seen the GAMEPLAY & FRANCHISE modes of both games..

:arrow: Spammer?? Ha ha.. Just take a look at the MAIN page and see who contributed LIVE 06 updates..

Better check this out: http://www.2ksports.com/media/movie.php?id=1610&gid=15

Dont be BIAS stupid METSIS... Both games are doing great and there's nothing wrong in giving true opinions..
