NBA Live has realistic models, but not necessarily the best. Take, for instance, Shaquille O'Neil. EA's rendition is horrendously funny. 2k's version is realistic, although without all the sweat and lighting effects of Live 08. Also, Shaq's eyes look creepily dead. Now First glance at Live08's model is favourable. Then you realize Shaq doesn't sleep in a freezer before games, nor does he hang out in a dwarven mineshaft somewhere in Siberia. Shaq's skin is blue, and looking at other people on the Live 08 comparison shots, they are as well to a point. Steve Nash looks like a vampire, he's so pale looking. I get that the white lights cause reflection on the sweat-riddled skin, but it doesn't look right. These guys look like they're frozen.
