It's hard to believe that these NBA Live 2008 images are actual production screenshots. Unlike the somewhat creepy humans in Virtua Tennis 3, the texture and modelling work in next-gen EA sports games continue to push the graphics envelope down our throats and into our helpless wallets. Look at the eyeballs! The teeth! The jersey! The suicide marks on the wrist!
Soon, we won't be discussing these things with words like "next gen" and "1080p". No, we will require new metrics that more granularly let graphic snobs discuss how many large veins are clearly visible in a given frame and what the specular-sweat-to-glisten ratio is on their player's foreheads. Wife-o-meters need not apply.
Three ghastly large full resolution screenshots attached for your gawking pleasure.

Wow! Look at the third one! The quality, the green trim, the Xbox 360 logo, it's incredible...oh wait nevermind.

The cover looks like ass though
But ya, they definitely seem to be shopped in to the backgrounds. If the characters really do look that good, and don't have those terrible jerky animation transitions EA games often seem to have, this game will be an absolute stunner. Not that I care much though, realistic sports games do nothing for me.
Yeah, he came out a few years ago. Neil Patrick Harris is gay too if you haven't heard. I guess that Doogie Howser/Vinnie slash fiction I wrote wasn't so far off after all.
Wait, I meant to say I didn't write any Doogie Howser slash, and I'm totally macho and straight. Yeah, that's it.
EA® It's in the game
Ah, nothing like a photorealistic human that moves like a demon-possessed marionette.
