right on the character modeling is looking awesome! Did you notice the fade from tan to no tan on the guys legs? Really detailed, leg muscles even appear to be properly drawn. And of course anna's nips..
Correct nipple modeling is a key thing for sports game, haha. But yeah, the game looks sweet. If they gameplay is where it should be, I will never stop playing it.
From the gameplay vids, i'm a little worried about the character movement. It looks like they programmed in an acceleration factor when the character starts to run, which would be fine but, it also appears that the friction of the court when your player runs is a little less than what it should be. It may take a little getting used to in order to control your character movements, just seems a little too easy to move more than you need to. I'm sure it will just take a little getting used to.
I have only seen a couple vids from the game, but I know what you mean. The game still have about one more month of development time, so the last stages of making a game usually consist of fine tuning. So they might fix this...and, they might not. I'm sure we will see more in depth videos later towards the end of development. Right now, all you see is videos from the ESPN sports games, so once the games comes out, we should see a wave of information about Top Spin, Amped 2, and Links.
As long as the players have momentum, I'll be happy. If not, it will be more arcadish. One reason that knocks Outlaw Volleyball (which isn't trying to push itself as a sim, so it's understandable) down a few notches is that players have zero momentum. They can change directions on a dime and get from side to side of the court in an instant.
