This game has outstanding graphics, check out this one screenshot. The premise of the game is what makes it so much fun besides the fact that you can do streetball moves. It was motion captured by Trickz and Hot Sauce from the And1 Tour

Bumpmaps and real time lighting at that resolution on a 128 bit system, I DONT THINK SO! Thats an FMV screenshot, it wont look anywhere near that detailed ingame! Its still a great game though, im gonna have to go buy a console me thinks!

The graphics will look like that ingame. There are only 2 players at a time on the court so there can be a shitload of polygons being used for each player for the ultimate realism versus a traditional 5on5 game. I saw the making of this game on MTV and saw how they were doing the motion capture and the different moves and also the player models which I believe are the best ever for any basketball game. They even said that because it is 1on1 they can make the graphics look unbelievable. I'm definitley going to have to get a PS2 eventually in order to start keeping up with the consoles and the games that don't reach PC.

Polygons?? Thats just the basic dimensions(what makes everyhting actualy 3D) Everygame has billions and they have nothing at all to do with performance and Detail. Bumpmapping and Real Time Lighting are what makes a game look special and as detailed as in that screenshot. Even with just 2 players on court 128bit system will not look like that ingame at that resolution. Have owned PS2 , XBOX, Gamecube and Dreamcast and i know exactly what there capable of. Console format always does this, they rls Screenshots of FMV and everybody assumes the game will look like that, and it never does!!
This is pointless, all we have to do is wait until the game is released and then we can see for ourselfs.


That foto is not even real, Marbury has been clipped onto another image.

I don't think I'll buy it. I already have ESPN NBA, NBA Street Vol. 2, and ESPN College Hoops so I don't think I really need this. Especially since it's only 1-on-1.

I played 1-on-1 when I had Street Hoops and it was nothing special.

You might be able to create your own house and all, but if I really wanted to do that, I think I'll go play the Sims.

It just doesn't look that good to me...

Street Hoops isnt that great of a game.

NBA Ballers PS2 IGN review!

IGN gives it a 9 out of 10.

they say its more than just the regular one-on-one street game as there would be a mix of the Sims gameplay. instead of the usual street gimick you'll be playin in the nba stars mansions and shit and you too can have your crib and earn money by playin so you could buy stuff for your crib. its liek nba street mixed with mtv cribs i guess

Don't buy this game unless you have PS2 and online capabilities. I've only had NBA Ballers for a couple of days and the computer is already starting to bore me.
