Nothing really important but I noticed the jerseys move and wrinkle around the torso area. The shorts still seem too stiff, lol kind of like jeans with too much starch.

The upper body movements still seem funky. It's almost like a basic stick figure with no joint but the elbow. They definitely need to fix that. And why don't any of these NBA players have a chest.

Wish I had more to talk about then just visuals though. But that's basically all they gave us, close ups with a few dunks thrown in.

EA graphics have always been better than 2k. What they needed to do was have Live 10 Graphics and 2k gameplay.

Gameplay in the trailer looks stiff, No real definition of the upper body or arms. Kinda reminds me of elastic models. I've never been fond of the shiny shoulders and head. Chris paul has always looked unrealistic in Live gaming.

I loved Sony's basketball up until the current gen. It looked fantastic, but played a terrible game on court. With time, it could have been better. But it was too far behind the two front runners and people didn't give it a chance. Not to mention it was only on the Ps3, which few people had at the time. The hoops market wasn't big enough to support 3 titles.

Don't get the reminiscing over Sony's NBA title when Microsoft shut down a much more promising franchise in a more premature fashion.

Anyone asking for 2K to make a basketball game would have been told there's no guarantee 2K would have ever made anything better. It would have been Madden 6-12 all over again. They should just give the game away to season ticket subscribers as an incentive to sell season ticket and try and get the game up to the level of a legitimate release game for next year. Too bad for me football is my favorite sport...

Yeah, this is just proof that we are getting screwed over with Madden.

Not true at all. The hoops market is and always has been big enough to support at least 3 NBA titles. If you put in a half assed effort however going into things looking for simply a profit, you're going to get burned. If you have a quality NBA title out there it'll sell, you simply have to stick with it. 2K was in Sony's position at one time stuck on a single system that not a WHOLE lot of people had with the better selling system already dominated with 2 titles a juggernaut in Live and a game that had it's loyal base in Sony's Shootout. Difference? They put the proper resources behind their title and stuck with it to build their rep not looking for the quick and easy payout and here we are.

The basketball market is bigger than it's given credit for. If you aren't going to put in the time needed and the resources required to succeed, then yeah you need to get out, but don't start trash talking the market when you aren't doing what you need to be doing to make it in it. That's the problem I have with both 2K and EA's treatment of the college basketball market.

This looks like a disaster.

What EA should have done is announced that they're working on Live 14 and spent two years making the game.

Some history from a pretty well-connected source:

When the Elite team went in to start on Elite 11, they scrapped all of the code from Live 10. It's basically gone. Now, when they started work on Live 13, the team went in to find what of Elite they could use as a base and it was basically nothing. They may have thought they could do this in a year but really they need at least 2, and they're finding that out now.

BTW, is it just me or do the players look like they don't have functioning elbows? The arms look bizarre.
