There are a few things in the video that's for the assumption that's it's an early build; 1. the camera doesn't pan the whole way to the right (you can't see a player in the corner even though the ESPN graphics are fully centered the whole time) 2. The menu is veeery basic. There'd be much more info in a build two months from release. 3. After the cool ESPN intro; when the two teams logos come toward the screen to dissappear, the Thunder's top of the 3d logo sticks for a second at the bottom of the screen. That tells me they've just put the graphics in to test how it would all come together. 4. Player movement animations are jerky. Not at all in line with what finished animations would look like.

Live hasn't been up to par for over a half decade; hence the collapse in sales and cancellation of the product. They needed to test the waters to IMO gauge whether a discounted/download only delivery or suspension of the game is in order.

Live's animations have been jerky this entire gen. You really think a pre-alpha build has all playable teams, dynasty mode, full quarters, server connection, full menus, full commentary, intros, etc. C'mon man...

Not saying they did leak it, but like others have said, this is EA we are talking about. Im sure they thought Elite was better than 2K's entire catalog. NBA LIVE 10 was probably their best best reviewed next-gen console game(wasnt hard for them to top 06-09), and instead of working from that, they went and started all over from scratch. If it wasnt for all the bad feedback from the Elite demo, they would have released that trash.

sorry to break the bubble, but the earliest this can be is may
final records are their each team....

Imo opinion they would've been smarter if they had done something similiar to 2K's developer insights. The promo videos with interviews and devs talking about Elite 11 had me interested in the game. They succeeded in creating interest. Here, coming out of nowhere just posting a random 11 minute gameplay video with no other marketing whatsoever tells me this was not intended nor official.

What I think this was was the recording of a quarter for the purpose of selecting clips/screenshots and such to use for a future marketing ploy.
The video, as is, was NOT intended to be released this raw.

That's what I think at least.

Am I the only one here who thinks the Live games have been more fun that the 2K games? All this hate is off-putting, and doesn't change the fact that I enjoyed playing Live more. I'm not saying this game is great - I just want to know why it finds such a wall of hate and 2K gets so much love - while it is a lot more polished, it still has flaws (passing).

it is obsolutely awful game, thanx God we have 2K!

passing was fixed bro, check out 2k team up reviews..... unlike live community guys who have seen the game and havent given any, any feedback on what they seen, that was the whole reason they went doen and the whole reason the even was set up, look around this thread through all 50+ pages, not one of those guys showed up and responded, i know they seen this video, and probably has been reading these comments, but yet we see why they are silent as well as EA!
