I own the game. Stupid AI makes the game pointless. It is either way too dumb or OMG I can see you from anywhere!

I meant the demo, it's multiplayer online only, no single player and it's just awful.

Oh, I didn't mind the MP. Also the ability to make your own freaking massive maps is nice. But yeah it is all fairly generic.

It's just a really shitty demo. I loved playing Instincts in single player, and the map creator was awesome. This demo just sucks balls is all.

I downloaded the NHL07 and NHL2K7 demos. It's hard to get a bead on NHL07 gameplay since it's just a shootout, except the visuals are fucking AWESOME.

NHL2K7 meanwhile seems to play really well. I'm in the mood to buy a Hockey game this year. I'll probably go 2K7 but will wait for reviews.

In case anyone's interested (I'm not!), Scramble is in the Arcade and there's a new LMA Manager 2007 demo in Marketplace.

I downloaded the NBA2K7 demo, and other than the animation system, including cloth, it looks like an Xbox game, and that's no troll. Horrid character models, horrid crowd, HORRID HORRID aliasing. 2K sports are fluffing the whole next-gen graphics thing.

sounds like a bitter madden fan that wished madden looked as good as nba2k7 does. Game looks fantastic imo and all at a silky smooth 60fps. Now this is what a next gen sports game is meant to look like. :up:

I wish neither game looked like each other. NBA2K7 has 60fps and the cloth animation going for it. Against it is the worst aliasing I've seen in a 360 game by a country mile, so bad it would make early PS2 games blush, as well as character models that look really really dodgy, to the point of Xbox qualerty on some angles.

Meanwhile Madden is 30fps and has some dodgy landmine-style animations out of nowhere, although the lighting system is really really good, something the demo version couldn't show off due to time restrictions.

I yearn for a next-gen sports game that puts it all together.

I should probably clarify that I'm referring to team sports.

Aliasing isn't a huge problem on my screen candy(VGA cleaner than component in my experience) i think you're overreacting, i don't see you complaining about the horrid jaggies in vf5 now ;). Also the models look great to me I'm not sure what you're complaining about? I fired up an older nba2k on xbox which also had 720p for comparison. Huge difference in the models, especially the lighting,the floor reflections which I love has actual indiviual timber slat reflections which looks awesome and realistic now. Just overall a great improvement, also with the new animations the gameplay feels a lot better, combined with it looking like a real life game not not a rigid video game.

If they're there when I play it, you bet I will.

Also I am using VGA with my 360.
