Kyrie Irving is Cover Athlete For NBA Live 14, Cover Art and In-Game Footage Trailer

[o Elevate o]

Really liking the look of the game so far. Even though we've been getting it in bits and pieces, it's looking more and more like it's worthy of purchase.

Graphically, it's on point. I like how the fingers seem to conform to the ball, as well as the wrinkles in the jersey/shorts and the cloth movement in general. Plus, the jerseys are actually on the shoulders, not floating.

Also, in case no one noticed, the accessory colors/setups look to be correct.

Also while the calf muscles DO look kinda big, I think it's the kneepads that make them look that way. The "fabric" outside the pads seem to be/look thicker than they actually are - it should fit skin-tight with the exception of the pad (obviously) and you can tell in the footage they do not. I believe that's why they look big.

But a BIG + for me is that Kyrie doesn't look too thin, or like a body builder (2K's current-gen models all have that look). If you compare the model shown to RL pictures of Kyrie, it's actually pretty close.

Overall it looks promising. I still will wait for 5-on-5 gameplay (and the Association, etc. modes) before deciding but for the first time in a while Live actually looks pretty good. At least, IMO...

Well if the game looks this good, plays smooth and animations look non robotic it will get a purchase from me.

They showed of actual gameplay features like Lebron dunking, celebrating, stealing the ball in the 2K trailer. And no I'm not a "2K fanboy", I'd actually like to see Live get some more fair treatment.

Yeah but this clip was much shorter, the general premise was the same. Showed a clip of the the cover athlete taking, along with some gameplay which like the 2K trailer was rendered in game.

I cant believed no one has mentioned how good the crowd looks in the background!

Ok yall can stop talking about the calf muscles because yall know when the game comes out rosters will be edited

and the double dribble is really being thrown out of proportion

But anyway the graphics look nice but I just want to 5 on 5 gameplay anybody know when we will get that

Unless he really says that line in the game, this may or may not be in-game footage.

It may be, but this trailer does nothing to prove it, in my opinion.

Anyway, if that's what it looks like in-game, KUDOS EA!

I really cant believe you people think this is in game footage... Lol but kodos to EA for tricking you all
