They've earned their reputation and get the backlash they've deserved.

It wont stop until they show everyone differently. Im sure we all want more choices. I think im more bothered that we had about 6 basketball games and are now down to 1 more than anybody.

That said, Its been enough years of just saying wait til E3 or whatever when we've seen this book before over and again.

The truth of the matter is, its nex gen now, and the same old excuses are still there for the same old problems. Its ridiculous.

All I see is them bashing a CGI clip that's not even the real game. I don't know about the rest of u but i'm sick and tired of up and unders, ball going through players, shot clock cheese, players getting slid over so players can dunk, slid over so players can get a pass, step back 3pt shots that go in 100%, ect. All I want is a great basketball game and don't care who brings it. Just excited to have a choice now or if I get pissed off at one game I can go buy the other. Don't know what's the point of picking out players that don't look like themselves we have tons of players that don't look like themselves in the other game.

Its because the CGI clip which is supposed to be next gen is showing the same issues that were INGAME issues for Live current gen. Why would they do a CGI render of lanky gumby plastic looking hunchback players? Hunchback was a INGAME problem even shown in the leaked Live 13 footage. Please try to dispute this pict:
Long arms and legs were in the Live 06 current gen trailer with the Sonics vs Pistons. either youre in denial because im pointing it out to you, or you are turning a blind eye too it.

Again, why would EA do a CGI render with lanky players and hunchback. They had since 09 to fix this. All we've heard was Live devs having Gregorian chant/Kumbaya meetings in the hallways, along with tealight candles pat on the backs etc, and then they come full circle with this, and youre okay with it?

It would be a shame if they move to next gen with these same animations from current gen and from the looks of the CGI assets, it sure looks like they still don't get it and this stuff with carry over. I hope Im worng but my guess is it wont change.

Come on man, place holders?

NBA Live 05


NBA Live 06


NBA Live 07


NBA Live 08


Weird looking, flailing, skinny body type players is how Live always looks. That's not magically changing from this trailer either.

Dudes is crazy in here man lol. Every year it's something new for the same old stuff. Place holders...lol

I agree with 23, it's been years, they've had so much time to make a decent product, the usually dev cycle for sports video games are a year, that's not barely any time compared to how other games are developed which is usually 3-4 years maybe. I would think they would have something to show by now even if it wasn't perfect with that amount of time.

But I don't know what's going on over there and this is just my assumption. I'm just saying how much time do they need?

I still believe the first two current gen graphics looked better, the body types seemed better in Live 06 and to a lesser extent in Live 07, then it felt apart up to the point we see those terrible player body types of today (and the last games).

What you're saying is people arent supposed to sit here and call out the same exact thing that just happened over the last couple of years? They did the same thing last year, look at that pic because that's where it's from, and we had people defending that garbage for days until EA finally came out and said they werent even going to release a game. This is all about NBA Live and its been YEARS. After all of this time and a new gen coming and the game looks to have alot of the same old issues and players look like theyre in need of life support machines. There is absolutely no reason act like fellow consumers are at fault here.

if this is a cgi video demostrating where they want to go...how can you honestly say this game has a lot of the same old issues? Sounds like the typical EA hate to me.

cgi videos are suppose to make the game look better i thought, if thats the case were in for a rude awakening... cause even the trailer had hunchbacks, laggy stiff jerky animations... so if this was a cgi video as they say, why in the hell is the video having the same fundamental issue that previous game had? If i was todo a cgi video, i for one would have made sure none of the animations looked laggy and the stiffness surely wouldn't have been seen.... SMH at EA, somethings they do and say are just puzzling for such a major franchise or gaming industry
