I'd love to see this game turn out great, but I'd have to say that so far 2k is killing them on the eyeball test. These Live 15 clips look better than Live 14, of course, but in my opinion the visuals still fall a bit short of the bar set by their competitor. If the gameplay turns out great they could potentially make up some ground, but I just don't see it being THAT great.

I've seen around 5 or 6 dunk animations so far for Live, and more than half of them looked really unnatural, including the LeBron dunk in these clips they've just released.

I wonder if the delay is a response to the bashing they are taking over NHL 15. They MAYBE are starting to realize that it is better to delay than to release garbage half products.

Well 3 weeks aren't going to turn garbage into gold.

How much extra time are they really getting though? They still have to make the discs, get approvals and ship everything.

I assume they would be able to produce a solid product at that point.
It's a combination of things. When Wang left they had to start a whole new engine from scratch and I think they lost some guys too. Not to mention being rushed year after year to make stupid street dates. If the devs had their choice I'm sure they would love to have 3 years not 9 months to make a game

The only logical explanation I can think of is that they want to have more time to work on a day one patch, rather than having the game out for a month before some of those fixes make their way online.

Reason for the delay is unknown. Don't make assumptions. Could be simply to fix online modes or what have you.
