Seems like that'd make for the best game moving forward, especially considering this generation of consoles is almost over.

Because that was Mike Wangs engine and he left EA and he's at 2k now

Everything else has been said, so I won't beat a dead horse, but explain to me what everyone likes about the jerseys on this? To me it looks like they don't move or flow, almost like they're painted on.

The jerseys look very realistic if you ask me. They are form-fitting and tight like real NBA jerseys, but they have some movement around the waist. They just look good.

Anybody agrees or am i just stunned out of my mind by this trailer?

I agree, thats what they should have done. After the debacle of Elite and the time is took them to put together a whole new development team, their goal should have been on making sure they had a great game for the next gen console, instead of trying to rush the new team to get a game out. They should of took their time and allowed the new development team to work together and get acquainted with each other for awhile and allowed them to work on the game for at least a couple of years to insure that they wouldn't have another disaster again. Now this will probably put them even further behind 2K in the long run. Its really poor decision making from the people at the top of EA's basketball division.

Lol at EA. They need to throw in the towel and just give up. 2K Sports has them beat in this category. The only thing I liked from that trailer was the faces. Everything else still needed work.

WOW, faces look amazing, but everything else is fail, stiffness, lag or framerate still present even though it seemed they tried to hide it, dunks and animation look horrendous, its just not up to par like it should be after taking 3 yrs off, would make a excellent game for ps vita, but for this gen consoles, its just not there in my opinion!

You guys are bugging! That trailer was great. Please take off the 2k glasses guys. The player faces look great. Just because they go a different direction in body art doesnt mean its bad. Doesnt 2k have a problem with guys looking way more brolic than they really are and live has a tendency for all the guys to look lean! The hate for this game is comical, untill ea releases gameplay i will save my comments for gameplay

Does EA Sports make any good sports games anymore?
