In this respect EA has been more like PT Barnum the last few years. Also Edison actually stood against progress in important areas-- he devoted a smear campaign against Tesla and AC electricity, which we use in just about everything and not merely lightbulbs. Tesla's genius was on a other level t Anyway, poor analogy, since Edison wasn't about hype and false promises year after year. We can keep an open mind about EA developing and pushing technology. It's another matter when they make grandiose promises and fail THEIR OWN hype year after year. Anyway, it looks like EA might have enough for a playable game this year. Even of its bad as far as simulation basketball goes, it looks like they night have a decent framework to build on. And being the underdogs might actually cause them to be innovative instead of milking the franchise like Madden. Also, it's somewhat self contradictory to simultaneously say we should give EA a clean slate and turn around and say we should acknowledge Live's legacy. You can't have it both ways. And the last thing you want is people buying Live on its name. This will cause EA to sit back and rest on its laurels once again. You want to keep Live scratching and clawing rather than rest on undeserved reputation.

I never said he was the first to invent it. Only reason I mentioned Edison was because of his famous quote about failure.

"I have not failed. I've just found 10,000 ways that won't work."

I've brought that quote up multiple times in this forum, so I added Edison in just for reference, reason why I said once again at the beginning. Overall my point was he's failed before, but he learned from it. There probably times where he wanted to give up, or even saw the competition and thought to; or maybe even his own colleagues discouraged him but the point was he had the potential to revolutionize lighting and he stuck with it.

Sorry I didn't Wikipedia his history, cite my sources, and then send you a bibliography, I was just trying to simplify things.

They have uploaded some new screenshots on the website. If you scroll down the page you see Kyrie and Lillard. Not sure if they are in game screenshots but they do look good. The funny this is neither of them have arm pit hair.

After seeing those images I don't like the player models or the faces..They look little to nothing like the renders....They barely looks 20% better than current gen....

Lillards arms and hands are puffy and just weird and those are the same skin textures from Live 09 and 10! All they did was smooth them out a tad.

Yeah I agree with Lillard's hands it looks like his wrist is super swollen. But you can actually see the perforations on the jerseys to help them breathe better. Also, the bottom picture of madison square garden looks good with the lighting. Just sucks we have to wait for the last 7 trailers, ALL of which don't come out till next month leading up to the game. So I guess they have sometime to make changes.

The game looks FINE. I don't know what else you guys want. Lillard looks spot on as well as Kyrie. Puffy hands? C'mon guys.

Really? I'm all for this game and I will be getting it at Launch of my Xbox One....

But are you telling me you don't have a problem with these models..

I understand the EA is claiming to have different artist for graphics but I see a lot of similarities and also the same super long forearms that have plagued Live series since 06.

Makes no sense to have this still going into Next Gen, we got to get body parts right and sizes right.

[blingballa333]

What exactly is your beef with them Shadows? Lillard's left forearm does look a tad odd, but that could totally be the angle. The skin textures aren't going to satisfy everyone, but those are by far the most accurate representations of those two players I've seen to date. But that's just my opinion. To each his own, right?

Just have to wait 2 more weeks to see the next gameplay trailer..But I have a feeling they just took one long trailer and broke it up into pieces. B/c at the end of the trailer it says to be continued. So I'm guessing the next trailer will leave off where this one ended. I guess we find out if he made the layup.
