Sure, but people are jumping the gun on a video trailer.

I like their candid honesty which tells me they will work hard on bringing a good title this year. Nonetheless, it seems a bit weak to be pushing these things onto their customers as if these are new features, improved - yes, new - no.

I cant recall they said "HUSTLE PLAYS, REBOUNDING, BIG MOVES!" as the NEW feature.. I think someone's reaching quite a bit....
Pls post the link that EA said its the NEW FEATURE...

and 2k isn't doing that with "My Player" and "82games" i.e..Live got that already whatsoever.
Mike hasn't introduced it as a new feature but as an gameplay overhaul and advancement, and that's the main thing they were focusing on. Stop blaming them for that , but respect them for what they are doing. It's completely new team and it's not their fault that Live has been garbage in the past...But they are doing an awesome job now...

Couple of Things I wanted to say: First the person I quoted.

The NBA Live Team hasn't said these are brand new features, they just said that they are game play improvements. Not once did Mike in the video say new feature. A feature is a game play mode such as Dynasty Mode, "The Hangar", etc. Those have been said to be features, the video it-self says game play improvements.

Second, the video looks very good and can't wait to play the demo. Couple of things here and there looked off but I can get passed that if the game plays good.

The last thing is a brain-buster to me , why would people want NBA Live to feel just like NBA 2K, I agree some concepts should be added to Live but if I wanted to have a game feel like NBA 2K, I would rather just play NBA 2K than the knocked-up version of it. I want the game to feel new and not feel like NBA 2K, that's why I play Live because it's different from 2K. So when people say it should feel more like NBA 2K I get very confused and wonder. I for one don't want two game's "feeling" the exact same way. Both should be Sim approach but different vibe and flow. Sorry for the novel.

My .02 Cents....

All of the above.

I can understandstand why some people would be excited and amazed about some of the things that Live added when they've been playing Live for a few years and these things were absent.

But when the competition already had these things in place, I can't get excited as some of you are. Especially to the point where I've already made my decision to buy Live.

Nothing they added in this video set them apart from 2K.

- Rebounding
- Hustle Plays
- Nice crowd and arena design and atmosphere
- Size up dribbling
- Smooth animations

All that was already present in 2K. Which is again, why I can't be overly excited about it.


With that being said, based on that video, Live looks like they may have possibly did these things better than 2K did in 2K9. The crowd and arenas look great and well animated. I think their size up dribbles look a lot better. Their hustle plays look fantastic. In 2k they dive for loose balls, but nothing close to the extent they are in this video.

So while I'm not amazed at all these things, I am very impressed with their implementation based on that video at this point.

For me there's nothing wrong with people getting excited but I don't get the whole "Live Wins!!!" thing going on based on this video.
