I am completely dumbfounded.

Cue the conspiracy theories... Though, we may be getting duped by 2K. They may just be better at taking screenshots and making trailers, but I'm still conflicted.

Oh...time for another EA vs Sega thread. Hooray!

Yeah, I was pretty dumbfounded by that, too. I just can't see how, at least from screens and video, any area in which Live looks better than 2K6. I mean, even looking at 1UP's own screens, the difference just looks enormous in favor of 2K6.

*edit: Looks like they weren't too thrilled with the game as a whole, either:

1up says PSP had one of the greatest launches in the history of videogames too

And it did, which is one of the reasons I'm dissapointed; 1up is usually pretty spot on.

i love the review for 2k6. it's like 5 paragraphs about just the graphics. this is professional journalism?

Its a launch game for a new system, they'd be stupid for not writing a lot about the graphics.

Wait... great in what way?

NBA Live looks great in stills but looks like sheer ass in motion.

In the "great" way?
