2K Games - Xbox vs 360?
I was interested in how the same game compared on the 2 different consoles for NBA2K6 and NHL2K6. Is the gameplay much different?
Obviously the graphics are nicer, but are they THAT MUCH nicer?
Are we talking PS1 to PS2 difference?

Hard to say since you have no 2K/Visual Concepts games from the PS1 era. Not really fair to use the Dreamcast as a gauge.JackB1 wrote:I was interested in how the same game compared on the 2 different consoles for NBA2K6 and NHL2K6. Is the gameplay much different?

Now if you are talking EA
Madden at the end of the PSX Generation
Madden at the start of the PS2 Generation
Madden at the end of the PS2 Generation
Madden on 360

personally i hate the new madden flat camera view where you cannot see the defense or the field pre snap. when the camera zooms out, it does it so dramaticly in both pitch and width, that is jarring to the viewer. Also, the score overlay is on the bottom and more likely to block on field action. Change for the sake of change is not good.

NHL 2K6 for the 360 does not look significanly better than the Xbox version. The only noticeable difference in graphics is the ice and the glass. It looks great on the 360.
Gameplay wise, the controls are tighter on the 360 and just feels perfect. If the game was priced around $40, I'd definitely pick it up. But it doesn't feel that much different on the Xbox, though the A.I. is smarter about odd man rushes.
Now, NBA 2K6 not only got a facelift but it plays better which I didn't think was possible.

Try this. It's a great (graphical) comparison between the Xbox and 360 versions of NBA 2K6.

This is not a Madden thread. Please keep comments like this in the proper thread. You are free to hate EA all you want but at least do it in the right place. Consider this a warning.anchester wrote:personally i hate the new madden flat camera view where you cannot see the defense or the field pre snap. when the camera zooms out, it does it so dramaticly in both pitch and width, that is jarring to the viewer.

Not sure if you researched that (found the pics) yourself, or if it was displayed in another article/thread somewhere; either way...THANKS!
It helps to put the graphic improvements into perspective to be able to glance at the progression on one page. We're so 'conditioned' to the slow evolvement of graphics and the amazing CG work from HollyWood that we fail to realize how far things have come. Looking at those pics is a quick indication of just how NEXT-GEN Madden 360 actually is. Now imagine it in 5 years!...

You mean when the Xbox 720 retails for $799 and only 100,000 are shipped for the entire U.S. launch?Sport73 wrote:Now imagine it in 5 years!...

Ah you funny funny guy. As much as I loved the NFL 2K series and the DC, it had it share of issues. Not all was perfect in Sega's 128 bit world when it launched.
Throw in Vincnt Price's voice and you have the Football version of thriller.
Do I even need to say anything?
Anyway this is not a Madden vs 2K vs yada yada thread. If you can't see the amazing graphical jump between the Xbox 360 version and the current version...
Like Scoop said this is neither the time nor the place. I put up the screens to help answer the original posters question.
Re: 2K Games - Xbox vs 360?
Visual Concepts made NBA Fastbreak '98 for PS1. Graphics really decent for the time and great animation at the expense of extremely slow gameplay with outrageous shooting percentages for the CPU. 3 pointer after 3 pointer raining in at a 60%+ clip. I'll bet not a lot of people ever played it. I still have it but haven't played it in years.

That is why I specifically stated the 2k brand. VC has been making games for quite some time and developed games for Midway, EA and others. They were also the ones behind the Madden that was never released on the Playstation when it launched, etc, etc, etc. Pretty well known to most sports gamers.
The list if you need to see their history.

Take a look at the DC pictures. Was it really that bad? God how amazing it looked when I brought that game home.
Still look at the PSX pics and then the DC game and you do see quite an improvement.

Perspective is a funny thing. Not to continue on the EA/2K tangent, but the first PS2 versions of NFL 2K were pretty much ports and were found to be underwhelming by users much like some find Madden 360 to be underwhelming. Funny, I had forgotten how ape-like the first 2K football players were.
Anyway, those pictures really are pretty telling about the changes we have seen over the past few years. Very interesting.
