Ok I checked out some youtube NBA highlights and I still have to stick to my first post the top jersey movement is very little mostly moves wen a player jumps, but having the entire top jersey in a bouncing motion as if wind is blowing thtough it and the player is only walking up the court isnt a good look.

Its basically EA making jersey movement so noticable that no one can say they have the stiff jerseys of there current gen games. A slight tone down on of movement on the top half of the jersey is needed is all im saying.

I agree but I think part of the issue is some players wear their jersey tighter than others perfect example is the Kobe vs Lebron video on youtube. Watch how much more Kobe jersey move vs Lebrons.

Meh. Lets see real gameplay. They have said "100% gameplay footage" before and the game looked completely different.

I agree Kobe seems to wear a couple sizes to big for him lol so I guess the thing for Live to do is have different jersey sizes some loose fit and some tight.

MSG looks beautiful *sheds a tear*.

I dig the attention to detail, but this isn't enough to let me know which b-ball game I'm going with. I need more. Hopefully we get some straight up gameplay soon and less of the runway show. I like what I'm seeing though.

Exactly. What does this show me? Nothing. Give us some actual gameplay and I'll get excited.

You have to get rights to people's image to be able to do things like that. Some celebrities will do it for little or nothing if they are fans of the series, but most of them are jerks and will charge you big bucks to include them in a game.

I say there setting a foundation for the future because I see the innovation, I don't have to feel it to see the potential there. Anything that can make a game more like real life is a plus in my opinion. They just have the right pieces there. Even if bouncetek isn't perfect this year the fact of the matter is they've got a great concept that can only get better as the years progress. I can see a new level of strategy to playing the competitively just by having the basketball separate from the animations.

It's up to them to live up to the potential, but it's definitely there.

An animation engine that runs based off real world physics, momentum, and foot-planting. Dribbling that keeps the ball live and is unique to specific players, A.I that is run by actual player tendencies and stats (for the most part). Team specific defenses and offenses. ESPN License? Ultimate team? EASBL?

I see a game where every match can be fresh and free flowing, because they're adding in the unpredictable elements of reality. You never know when the ball will be poked loose in real life, you never know who's going to hit that game winner, you just never know; it's unpredictable. In 2k and Live I've always been able to learn the animations and use them to my advantage when playing other people, and at times I had to stop myself because I knew certain animations were basically money in the bank (cheese).

I feel like Live 14 has the potential to eliminate most if not all cheese, it's a broad vision but I feel they truly have that potential with the direction they're heading in. I can see Live 17 or 18 as one of the most realistic playing (not necessarily looking; animation wise) games of basketball ever.

You ever watch a hoopmixtape of one of those freshman kids in high school and go "Wow, this kid is gonna be nasty some day"? That's how I'm looking at Live right now. You can just see the potential oozing from the pores of this game, and it's still extremely early.
