Damn, ESPN NBA 2Night 2002 looks like it will be the winner of B-Ball on the PS2!!!!!

Exactly, This game looks pretty crappy IMO. The models are out of wack and the textures are horrendous. I can\'t wait until NBA2k2 comes out I haven\'t played a decent basketball game since NBA2k1.

BTW, Don\'t mention Live because the Animation was probably some of the worst I have seen in a Next Gen game. *blechh* I was pissed that I rented it.

This picture look so real!  His face!! I want to see how this game will turn out.  I have my hopes on this one. But NBA 2k2 will have the best game play. I played almost every NBA game and I think the Dreamcast NBA 2k game play is the best i ever played.

I\'m sure you all realize that pictures like these have absolutely no bearing on how great or potentially awful the final game will be.  The only way you\'d ever see an image like this in the game is in a replay, and I usually switch off the replays.  They\'re a waste of time.  The most critical issue a developer should address in making a basketball game is ANIMATION.  The quality of motion capture and transitions between animations should be the #1 priority.  Model complexity and density of the texture mapping are not nearly as important because you need to play the game considerably more zoomed out to play a 5 on 5 game.  With that in mind, screenshots like these are so dumb.

One more thing: why did they have to display Rasheed Wallace and Tracy McGrady???? One word:  SUCKKKKKK! [kah kah kah... sound of choking]
