That game looked AWESOME. But that was the only positive, sadly.

Agreed. But I'm still waiting on the answer for the question: why did they wait? For the record, after Elite was cancelled, didn't they say they were still working on it in the following February?

Well, it certainly gets more hate than it deserves too. So it even out, huh?

NBA Live 10 was fun, if this is and updated version of that with new features and what ever.. it's worth at least 20 bucks, it already looks better than 2k 13 in some aspects of the game but as of right now the scale is still tilting heavily in 2ks favor. I grew up on live so i will support it if i see theyre are actually trying, but phuck that Madden ****, im about done with wasting my money on that bullshiiit.

That is correct.

That's if you are one of the few that thinks Live's total presentation is better...

I swear you could compress these 22 pages into one post: "This game sucks!"

But it seems like clowning Live is the cool thing to do. You can't even have a constructive conversation here because of this mental diarrhea. I understand people are disappointed that EA continually comes up short, but the same ol' jokes in every thread gets tiresome.

On topic: The animations still look herky-jerky. I wonder if they've actually done mo-cap since Live 10 because it seems like they're just recycling these awkward animations. They claim to have a vast animation library but they sorely need an upgrade or complete overhaul. The passing, dunk, layup, and rebound animations all look strange. The movements don't even look human-like. It's as if they applied an electric shock to their mo-cap athletes as they performed.

One animation that did look nice was Dirk's fade-away. It appears signature moves are finally back. This should be one of their main focuses along with smoother animations. I was playing the Elite demo yesterday and everyone played the same with the exception of their standard jumpshot. That's not nearly enough to distinguish each player. The least they can do is assign a variety of animations to different players even if they aren't signature.

They player models need work but it doesn't really bother me. Improving the animations and A.I. are paramount to me.

Not bad...not bad at all. Better than what i thought, especially all things considered coming from E3.
