EA Sports released nothing less than 39 new images of NBA Live 07. The end of this year should be great for NBA fans!

No EA, no matter how many more screenshots you release, it's not a patch on 2K7..

Congrats for Fifa 2007 looking better than PES6 but you still have a while to
go before you catch up to 2k7..

Tiz, your hatred for EA have impaired your judgements. The players' face look way more realistic in Live than 2k.

I agree with TIZ ...
2k6 will always be better than this "goodlooking EA crap"

and pes never looked good... but it was will and is the best soccer game ever!

This game looks better than 2k7 but so did the last one, (Graphically) but that doesn't change the fact that this game will suck gameplay wise just like the last one already you can see from the view behind the players that you will not have a good idea of where all your players are and who to get the ball to 2k7 ftw.

When I click on the pictures it just takes me to this page (they all link to http://www.xboxyde.com/news_3410_en.html)

It's been like that for a while now, but it seems that nobody else is complaining about it.

What is going on?

This looks good and also 2k7 players don,t look that real they look like monsters and stuff, but anyway ill see which 1 is better when they both release.

yes EA always has the better realism and graphics, but the gameplay trails behind 2k7 which kills it normally

06 looked way better than nba2k6 and so does this in comparison to nba2k7 but 2k series is where the gameplay is at.

I didn't know they put pictures up of NHL... Funny that, I could have sworn it said
"39 NBA Live 07 images"... Maybe my eyes deceive me, which must mean these pics look better than 2k7 images... huh..

Nonetheles 2k7 looks a lot better a game isn't just about graphics, but 2k7 does a good job there as well.

NO. I'm with you there, NBA 2K7 looks better overall.

Yes, Live has put a lot of attention to players' faces, they look better than 2K's by quite a big margin.

Live:

2K7:
http://i.i.com.com/cnet.g2/images/2006/129/932864_...

To me, the Live Kobe looks a whole lot better. There's a huge difference even in # of polygons. But to me, that's basically all Live has going for it in terms of graphics.

The animations in 2k7 are much better, including the players' uniforms moving realistically as players move. Also, Live uniforms have this weird shine to them which I hate because that's just not how it is. And something that is now important is sweat, which also looks better in 2k7 as it's not a oil-looking thing like on Live.

So 2k7 wins in graphics, and I doubt anyone here will question who's the winner in gameplay.

What happened to the 2K series? It seems like the transition from last gen to next gen has caused a drop in quality. The 2K series was always known for pushing the envelope on gameplay and visuals; always surpassing the Live series. They missed that mark last season and they seem to have missed it again this season. Live clearly looks better and cleaner. Maybe 2K will have great gameplay, but you can't deny the next gen look of Live and its descent gameplay. It was never bad. Madden has become NFL2K and Live is on its way to becoming our beloved NBA2K.

You need to watch them both in motion, Live 07 looks like a shiny Live 06 but 2k7
has a "real" feel of the basket ball court. Live still has that annoying, uninvolving camera employed.

2k7 looks leagues above 06, don't let these screens fool you...

HONESTLY!!!! I WAS EXCITED ABOUT LIVE....till i saw the in-game gameplay videos....

2k7 has always surpassed live in simple animation and transition...

when a live player goes from passes to dribbles or shoots it looks jerky ghetto and uncomfortable between those animation that always throws me offf..

plus LIVE is full of commercial gimmicks like a dunk contest where sparks fly off the backboard....that to me is not only unneccessary but the sparks arent even graphically realistic...looked like a last minute decision of crap.

2k gameplay vids show me just what i want to see....FLUID/ REALISTIC/ FOCUSED BASKETBALL

oh and one moooooooore thing....these pics are nice and live 07 does keep getting better but the 2k7 series goes LEAPS AND BOUNDS into producing a more realistic and fluid ONLINE EXPERIENCE

have you guys played madden online??? laggiest most unopened gameplay ever with no customizable options anywhere....

i remember in nfl 2k if there was lag there was a serious problem....you could pick the stadium and weather you wanted....online leagues and in game tournaments...

madden has no weather effects online....lots of lag...and i have to go to a website and pay for fantasy football can you believe that ish
