IMO in the long run, thats not going to be enough man, especially what the control sacrifices to make it so.

Its not going to carry over that well in basketball in the end.

Basketball is probably the most important sport when it comes to controlling your player and countering a defender. I personally like the direction they're going and I think with their technology that they're utilizing now, it could turn out to be something pretty special. With that being said, however, it has to LOOK good too. The foundation has been laid, now build upon it and stop trying to re-invent the wheel each year.

I like the direction they're going also. I believe all sports games will be heading this direction. The product doesn't look good right now, but it's the right direction.

I will not get into this discussion too much, it is easy to critique or defend something before you put your hand on any game, but when I see people comparing RTP to euphoria (other threads), and even worst, when I see people comparing a 1 YEAR development cycle, TO A 3 YEAR one, I mean... you already know what these people want....

The RTP has 0 to do with the player individual animations, meaning that jumpers, dribbles, rebounds, passes, etc, those animations should looks smoother, some of them are in live for years.

You can also say that those animations where the RTP kicks in, I am specifically talking about mid-air collisions (but you can say any animation were there is contact), should look better, but I understand that those are a work in progress, and will naturally get better as a result of a more complex in-game RTP, so that is not a concern for the future

I understand people complaining about what should have been a priority for this year, but I also understand this dev team thought process, let´s get the controls spot on for now and the future, let´s introduce the RTP, because this year it doesn´t even matter because we don´t have MJ, so let´s go basic and fix what we were already strong, and build something that will let us create a great game in the future.

And against the general opinions, it would not take only more and better animations for live 10 to be a great game, the problem was the basic stuff, ex force fields

Don´t get me wrong, if this game is not a fun NBA experience I will not buy it, simply because I think the future is bright, 60 euros don´t grow on trees, but If you ask me if I think that they can NOW create a great game going forward??? I say Yes, last year I would say no I would say that they could compete, but without reaching 50% of what the real NBA is plus actually controlling every aspect of it

If next year the top priorities are not:

Smoother and more realistic - Basic Movement animations (Jumper/dribbling,dunk, every single basic animation)

Player differentiation

Complexing and more visual appealing RTP animations

And if there is time and/or resources, begin to polish the game, and every single game mode

If these don´t happen, or at least start to happen next year, then the evolution will be slower then I thought it was going to be, and possibly only Next gen consoles, we would see a WOW NBA basketball by EA

By a b-ball fan....

It is pretty bad...just wait until the games are released and all the "kids" will go back to the other forum...then things will be back to normal...

It has to do more than look good.

There has been a standard set out there. Anything below the standard of a full package of what has been offered in the past is not excelling in anything.

There is obviously the notion that this control thing causes for sacrifices in other places. Im not sure thats the tradeoff people want in the long run
