I JUST DON'T UNDERSTAND WHY THEY DON'T USE THE FIFA engine, OR FIGHT NIGHT ENGINE???
EVEN NBA HOMECOURT HAD SMOOTH ANIMATIONS
SOMEONE NEEDS TO SIT THE DEVELOPERS DOWN AND HAVE A LONG TALK WITH THEM
WHAT WAS THE WHOLE POINT OF the ADVISORY COUNCIL

I guess you'll be okay with this, a lot of other won't though, myself included.

From what I've gathered from the initial impressions, let's be honest here. The game may be only 60% complete, but perhaps aside from a little cosmetic touch up, I highly doubt if much will be changed in terms of gameplay and animation within the next 4 months leading to the game's release. Even though I haven't touched an NBA Live game since Live 04, I was really hoping EA would come out swinging given the presumably 2 years of development time. It seems to me that this game has even taken a step backwards from what the last proper Live ('10) offered. No progression whatsoever. Apparantly the base has been laid for the franchise moving forward. So EA may want to consider taking another year off after this release and dedicated development solely to polishing - nothing more, or things may be going downhill quickly for the future of the franchise. Granted, I'm not much of a Live fan, and this is even disappointing to me. I can only imagine what its true fanbase is feeling upon seeing this.

It's EA that's the problem though. They haven't made a good Madden game since the early 2000's. Every game has been virtually the same, just a roster update and one new "Awesome feature" that they claim on every release.

What plagues Madden is much the same as to what plagues NBA Live. The sliding, the weird crouches, the goofy canned animations, the bad commentating. It's all been pretty much the same issues.

It looks like graphically, the game is going to be better, judging by the faces, but Gameplay is the most important feature to any game, and right now, it doesn't sound too promising based off of this report and what's been thrown out there by EA.

thanks for the honesty, no real reason to give this game a try other than maybe testing out the demo. Sounds like EA is picking up right where they left off and are hoping changing it back from Elite to Live will make us forget the disaster they were gonna put out.

I disagree with your statement since the NBA Live & NBA 2K devs said they will be addressing the issues with their game before it's shipped so i'm still hopeful.

I honestly feel like EA isn't capable of making a fundamentally and visually solid basketball game.

I owned Live 10, and while it wasn't terrible its still lacked alot of animations, and there were a lot of weird animations, and speed warps and what not. The dribbling was fun but not enough.

I've grown up on Live, but what's it come to is just pitiful really. Just like Madden got an all new physics systems, NBA Live needs an all new animation system. I can't believe that after a 2 year (almost 3) delay, this is the kind of preview the game gets.
