Because Chase is one of the best videogame journalists I know -- and he happens to be the most qualified person to talk NBA Live who was at E3. If anything, knowing the intricacies of how things are developed at the big level probably gives him better perspective from both ends of the spectrum and makes him particularly qualified to write pieces on any sports games.

Sounds and looks good every year about this time, but then you see gameplay footage and the players just don't move in a natural, organic way. Such a fine line between having ultimate responsiveness and realistic looking motion. I'm dying to try something new this year, but they have a lot to do in the next few months to get my $60.

Bottom line/in short....Live just has to get better every year and eventually it will be on par or atleast give the other game a run for its money.

No more setbacks, starting from scratch, 3 year cycles etc. Just keep building every year and it will get there and be a game that everyone respects again.

I hope 2K adds the dribble handoff. It looks good.

Good read, I just want the game cleaned up as possible. More animations, and better AI. I'm a gameplay guy so all that other stuff is secondary

Good read. I love that he mentions that Live 16 is focusing more on teaching their game this year, as I feel its been a big hurdle for both new and returning players, and its also been one of my biggest pet peeves about the LIVE series since its re-emergence.
