NBA Live turned Dirk Nowitzki into Nicolas Cage, among other rendering disasters

THESE. ARE. SO. BAD.

I've tried to be nice to NBA Live. I put many hours into the 2005 version of that game for GameCube, to be fair. But these days, it has been lapped completely by NBA 2K. This is why.

J.J. Barea

Mix Barea with a hobbit and Gandalf the Grey and this is remarkably accurate.
