NBA LIVE 14 Trailer - E3 2013: Xbox One & PS4

Meh

Galaxy Note 2

Am I the only one who feels that the model from Kyrie Irving that was just dribbling looked better than the ones from the trailer?


About the trailer itself, graphically I believe it looks quite good except those player models. EA (or whoever makes those CGI trailers) don't seem to understand that the models look bad, it's like beating a dead horse.

Luckily some part of Live is playable at E3 so we can finally get some actual information about how the game plays, hoping the game is actually good just for the sake of having two good games again (although we already know one for sure is).

Nice Try EA.. But it was confirmed that these are not real gameplay graphics!

It was confirmed that the one who's dribbling right here IS actual gameplay, on Scott O'Gallagher's twitter

Of course it's actual gameplay...

When a player is on the court by himself.

Didn't TMac look great on shooting by himself back in '07?

When EA has to put 10 players on a court, moving together, animating, running, jumping, etc., the dynamics of the game totally changes.

EA has proven that they cannot translate that to a full game.

I disagree. Live 10 has great spacing, off ball movement and player control. Sure those games that didn't get released proved that but they didn't get released....

That's because Mike Wang is the master of contextual animations. Live 10 was all about contextual animations which is why the players moved so fluidly in the hangar and on the court. That's why you had so many guys with sig jumpers and movement.

They scrapped contextual animations for the most part when he left.

Bouncetek = Freestyle until it's shown otherwise

Kyrie has sig dribbling because they mo-capped him doing it.

What about the 60+ other PGs and positional players around the league? Can they all dribble just like Kyrie? My guess is probably so, just with less flair.

I guarantee you'll hear these buzzwords and catchphrases ad nauseum from EA concerning Live:
-branching
-no dribble is the same
-freedom you've never had before
-stop on a dime
-strong/weak hand control

We've been down this road before.

Why do people judge so early? Jesus! We don't know much of anything at this point gentlemen.

Let the game fail....THEN we let them have it! Lol
