OS Roundtable: Does Live Stand a Chance?

It doesn't matter what any of us say really, if they make a great game people will buy it--regardless of how many trailers were made.

I could be wrong but didnt the eurostep, and dunks look exactly the same as CG?

At this point, I'm just waiting for our annual "failure to deliver" announcement.

They'll release. I'm confident of that. Even if they have to push trash out the door, they'll release. They simply cannot afford another failure to launch.

That said, what we're witnessing right now is exactly why I don't trust the game and what's been the franchise's biggest problem for years now. The decision making over there is horrible. There is no reason for 2K's next gen spot to steal momentum away from Live 14. Not this much anyway. They should have been littering Live news, info, videos and pictures throughout this whole process while 2K was focused on current gen. Instead they sat around talking about dribbling for the last three months and showing pictures of Kyrie dribbling. This is the equivalent of a team being down three touchdowns at the start of the fourth quarter and they're not passing at all, just running the ball, getting up slowly and making no real effort to close the gap. They're behind in this race and they haven't acted like it at all. That scares me.

2k has released two hype trailers focusing on animations! Why animations I mean 2k has always been good visually with animations. Just more of the same crap with them... No mention of anything about the game other than stats and I don't see playable 5vs5 either. Knowing their history it's a port since history tells all.

Ea has a trailer too. Yet in addition next gen tech ignite info, synergy, court q, playable Bouncetek demo and vid showing how it works. They have backed up what they are showing yet for some reason it's not enough. There is more coming this week and the weeks to follow. How is that scary?

2k is an outdated game. I mean it's 2013 and their gameplay is still mostly scripted!

Thats my #1 issue with gameplay and clipping. Those issues should have been some what fixed in the current gen but I guess its to hard for b-ball.
