That...wasn't even a legitimate question you asked. ****ty animations are ****ty. You don't need a professional to tell you said animations are ****ty.

That's like saying to a bystander about a professional basketball player's play: "Can you play better than him?". No, but in relation to everyone else on the court (or in game competition) they Suck.

That's why he didn't dignify a response to that silly question.

as long as robotic movement and animations were changed to more realisitc (2k) movement, live will be a winner.

If he said this (I animate by hand better they the animations in Elite.) what does that have to do with anything the new team do? Is it because they still under EA? Elite was made by EA Canada and we have yet to see anything EA Tiburon has made for Live and thats why he couldnt answer the question.

In the view of the general public, after the NBA Elite fiasco EA basically lost the benefit of the doubt once and for all (and rightfully so).

We are pissed because they invested a huge time looking into a doomed foundation in what was regarded as a once in a lifetime development cycle opportunity.

That's where all of this bashing is coming from. One just can't come in here and ask us to be in wait-and-see mode (for the umpteenth time) after we've been through. That Kotaku article indicated they choose the wrong course of action.

We're all voicing our opnion in this thread because we care. Like many others in here, I'm dying for a great NBA Live game. I want it to be awesome.

It's just not looking good right now.

Hopefully we're wrong and they will show us a strong product. Hopefully...

Ya but is everyone judging the article or the game which we've seen nothing of?

I also am disheartened by this article and admit things arent looking good but to claim they've chosen the wrong direction after not seeing one gameplay clip.

I know this is a huuuuuuge longshot but for all any of us know at this point this could be the best game ever made.

Nba live 13 is in a position I don't think another EA game in a long time has been in. All the hype in the world isn't gonna sell it. Most sports gamers are familiar with the elite debacle and will be very skeptical no matter what this dude says.

I think the "low expectation" route is the right one here for EA.

I don't know how many times I've gone to a good movie with high expectations just to leave it feeling like it was mediocre. Or going to a mediocre movie with no expectations leaving thinking it was awesome.

One more hype train wreck for this franchise could be fatal.

You mean to tell me that you think the animations in the past Live games have been up to par?
