This is STRANGE!

Is it me, or do they all look short and overly muscular in the leg. I'm 6'2'', and it seems like I would tower over these models in ratio.

I don't know about overly muscular in the leg, but Peja's shorts are WAY too long and big. The only word I can use to describe the way they make him look is silly. They do look a little short though. I don't know if it's that their upper body needs to be elongated (but I think that would solve a lot of the problem) especially since his arms appear to be too long for his upper body. If they were dropped straight down they'd hang to his knees.

Looks weird to me too now that you mention it.
Webber sorta looks like a little troll.

Well, at least Peja doesn't have that muscular frame. Everybodys just had huge muscles in these games before, especially in Live 2003.

Height, could be cause of the camera angle. And you don't pay that much attention to those sorts of details, when you play the game.

It's the look for this year, it's too late to do anything about them now.

I can't believe you're all just noticing this now. I noticed it with the first screens released. Even so, I'm still buying it.

Yep...been speaking about this crap for months. The reason the models look like this is cause their heads, feet and torso are too big. Simple as that...and i dunno who they hired to do the body models for live 2004...but he needs to be fired.

I agree. He needed to be fired long time ago... but it's all too late now. :cry:

Well, no he didn't need to be fired long ago...because what he did for live 03 was perfect.

hm.. yeah they players this year do seem to be a lil short, like their got 10 tons dropped on their heads

I first noticed it in the Live trailer that is on Madden 2004, they are really wide and really short.

It's not THAT bad but it could be better.

by **chipper** on Sat Sep 20, 2003 11:19 am

Yea, when you actually play the game, it can look much better than what you see from a screenshot.
However, I think LIVE 2003 has a better screenshot graphic than 2004.

Might Mr. Stojakovic be bending his knees and giving the illusion that he's stubbier then he is, because everyone else looks fine. Perhaps it's distortion due to the close range of the screenshot as well. Anyway, since everyone else looks fine he shoudl look good in gameplay.

and you know its the same person how? It appears to me that they did the same muscular thing for 3 consequetive nba lives...and then suddently the stature of the models changed...logic says to me that its a different person. However...i could be wrong.

Maybe it's a bad thing to wish someone get fired.

Nonetheless, for those of you who have seen the gamemeca video, is it any better in the video than screenshots?
