Which images do you want? The ones that are embedded in the interview? Or the ones on the media page?

And btw, add your page URL to your profile so people can check out your forums if they are interested :)

EDIT: Looking at the pics from the media page, I gotta say I hope the PC graphics are better. While gfx are just a gimmick, some pics look no that good, especially the one with Spree...

Wussup Johnny, what images? The ones on the media page. All those screens of franchise menus, scouting reports, etc. etc. Do you know how to get them? The ones embedded in the interview, you know how to get those too?

Wussup slick, can you please tell me how to get these images from IGN? I'd love to get my hands on them.........

The Real money and free agent screens kick ass!!!!!! Do you think you will be fired if your team is in first but your over the cap and your not really training cause you don't need to? I know last year if you created a player they were signed to the max!

he's just save the image to his harddisk and then put them onto his album.
(right click his pictures and click properties, you'll know the link of the pic)

if you want to link the image directly on the forum, go to that page and do the same thing as I described above.

1) right click the picture (remember right click ON the picture, not the other part in the page)

2) click properties

3) highlight the link and copy it

4) paste it on the thread.

here are the example:

or if you can upload pictures in your forum, you can also save the picture to your harddisk first, then upload them one by one in the thread.

:wink:

Oh, okay, okay because I was clicking on the pics at IGN and when I tried to post them on my site they wouldn't show. All I got were those stupid little x's inside of a box. What I'll do is save them to my cpu first and then try to post them. Thanx gut!

Fri Sep 10, 2004 3:23 am

Arrrgghhh, I can't get it to work, phuck it! :furious:

I'll just grab the few pics you guys have posted here........ Is there anyone gracious enough to post all the new pics so I can grab'em and post them on my site? :oops:

Eventually I put together a Web site for that with my own rosters available for download. Over the years, there have been a lot of NBA Live Web sites, but mine for some reason just kept getting bigger and bigger.
To bad he couldn't say the address (or name) though. :)

Dre Naismith: Since it's IGN's pictures and they have the rights to them (at least I think they do) you can't post any on your site, you can give the link to their site though...

yes, but I think it's ok if keeping the watermark of the ign logo.
It should be fine in my opinion.
or additionally add a message like: "all right reserved by IGN.com".

by the way, I am not sure about that because I don't know much about copyrights issue :wink:

Wow, works just fine here! Must be a problem with the site, scratch everything I just said and thanks for your help guys. :oops:

Good read, but the thing I noticed is when he said (paraphrasing) that they're really reaching the limitations of these consoles.

We shouldnt expect another console until probably 2006 at the earliest.

So......I wonder what's gonna happen. I seem to remember Live 98, 99, and 2000 looking CONSIDERABLY better than the console versions. Perhaps this is a new thread, let me start one.......

True, but I don't think IGN Sports would have been happy to plug an unofficial fansite such as the NLSC. ;)

just wanted to add that i hated the in game cut scenes. i shut them off. i usually turn down auto replays also. the other cut scenes are ok the first time you see them, maybe 2-3 times but after that i just skip them. getting rid of them to make room for all star weekend is a definet win for us imo.

Sun Sep 12, 2004 12:05 pm

I always disable automatic replays, I have since NBA Live 97. If there's a play that's worth seeing again, I'll generally pause the game and use the Instant Replay feature. Otherwise I don't interrupt the flow of the game other than calling timeouts.

Yay! 2d portrait pics. (Y)

What's that orange background crap? i hope we can change that. (In the back of my mind, i know we can't :()

Sun Sep 12, 2004 2:22 pm

yea prolly cant change it....but it all looks good none the less (Y)

Tue Sep 14, 2004 7:25 pm

k i have a question.....
why do the new pics look cardboardish and the first ones look really badass ???
or are they diff consoles :?
or are the early ones with really good graphic cards and the new ones on poor graphic card like my one :cry: ...

This one looks sickkkk...like the second pick to come out...VC and B Diddy look so realistic...

Image

umm n why's Melo so cardboardish later on?? :?

2D portrait pics are nice looking but what will the game display when it will be for a created player/generated rookie? That's the reason why I prefer 3D portraits

Tue Sep 14, 2004 11:22 pm

yeah, i hope it shows the 3d pic for the rookies atleast. i dont want to see a ton of pics that just say nba live.

I think because the first pics are early rendered graphics and the new ones are X Box.

Pre-rendered vs in-game. Your's will look like the second pic, blame consoles.
