Default Why does NBA Live look significantly better than Madden?

I mean I dont understand. When I saw the visuals on Madden I smiled, I was impressed but when I saw NBA Live 06 I almost choked on my saliva. It's not even close, the graphics on NBA Live look undoubtedly better than Madden. And what I dont understand is that Madden is EA's cash cow, that's their money maker, their #1 seller and the runner-up in sales looks better, and I mean noticebly better than the star of EA sports. Dont get me wrong Madden for the 360 looks very nice but compared to NBA Live 06, it looks like they just rushed something together. I am a football fanatic and basketball isnt really my thing, I'll play it on a video game but I wont watch it, but by the looks of NBA Live, it just looks so impressive that I might purchase it. The graphics of NBA Live is what I thought we were getting out of Madden. But I guess not.



You decide

NBA LIVE- ACTUAL GAMEPLAY


MADDEN NFL 06-ACTUAL GAMEPLAY


To be honest with you they probably felt they didnt have to work as hard because it's Madden and people are going to buy and besides what other football titles are there on the XBOX 360, exactly none. And what other NBA titles are there other than NBA Live, that's right NBA 2K6, competition always brings out the best in people, but when Madden has monopolized the market, I guess you wouldnt exactly break your back because there would be no need for it.

Maybe because there are more models that has to be generated in a Madden game? I honestly don't know though.

I think that Morder is probally right. In NBA live the people who make the game have to worry about 10 guys but in Madden there are 22 guys to worry about. I may be wrong but that seems like the most logical explanation.

Did anyone else happen to notice that the players were just standing around in Live? I mean they honestly just stood there (which i guess mirrors the NBA)! It looked nice though, real nice.

Correct me if Im wrong, but their are two basketball games for the 360, NBA Live 06 and NBA 2K6 360, the latter has better (oh yes much better) graphics than the first one which is developed by EA.

NBA 2K6 (realistic)
