IGN has a
story up that details how EA's worked their cover athlete, the pictured
Dwayne Wade, even more realistically into the 2005 debut
of NBA Live on the Xbox 360.
The story involves EA's new Computer Graphics Supervisor George
Borshukov, who was apparently the brains behind some of the special effects used in The Matrix, getting
the Miami Heat guard to do some rather amusing things with his face. Just don't get distracted by that mannequin in the
picture; we're sure they needed it… as a reference.
If more screenshots are what you're after, you can check out the bulging forearms on Parker and Iverson over
here, but some peeps prefer their NBA stars with a few
reflective beads on their faces (and we're not talkin'
sweat).
