That is the biggest advantage of all. From the latest screenshots and videos, it also looks like 2K has the better artists as far as player models go as well. This might or might not all shift years down the line but thinking Live has any developmental advantage other than being able to leverage Ignite is wishful EA fanboy thinking or a misunderstanding of how game and software development works.

Smh so I shouldn't expect nothing but a graphics upgrade and a few new animations from 2k ha?

Of course Live will have flaws, 2K has flaws every year, every game does. I mean, 2K released a basketball game last year with unblockable dunks...and how long have they been making basketball games??? That's like a football game making it impossible to cause a fumble in the red zone, just inexcusable. The bar for Live isn't nearly as high as people want you to believe.

Nice way to twist what I said.

Let's turn it around on Live-- so I shouldn't expect anything more than an extended dribbling demo with all the terrible gameplay of Live 11-13 and a few good parts of Live 10?

Honestly I'd be happy with improved 2k current gen with a massive graphics overhaul. It'll likely still be a better game than Live this iteration.

Live might put out a mediocre to decent game this year and that would be a huge thing getting the franchise off it's feet, but I really don't understand certain Live "fans" (what they fans of, the brand? Certainly not the nonexistent games) and their willingness to take things on blind faith when it comes to all things EA and not extend 2k the same.

As customers, WE don't have to make peace with anything. It behooves us to be cautious and skeptical given EA's past record and developmental realties.

There's another saying that goes, "Fool me once, shame on you. Fool me twice, shame on me. Fool me three times-- is that you EA?"

I'm not a fan of either company; I'm a fan of innovation. At least EA is trying to do something different. I hope they succeed. 2k was fun for me in 2k9 and 2k10. I had never played 2k before 2k9, and 2k10 brought My Player into the mix. Since then, it just hasn't felt fresh.

I would love for both games to wow me on next gen. Competition can only help both companies, and above all, us as gamers.

All I want from Live this year is for it to be a decent game focusing on Sim gameplay and the fundamentals. I'm not expecting to be wowed, I'm not expecting some great next gen game. If this team lays out a good foundation and sticks to the plan I will support them. I know for a fact it won't be as good as the other game this year. I'm not gonna sit here and nit pick every little bit of info we get about live either. They haven't released a game in 4 years. As far as I'm concerned its a success if the game makes it to store shelves. Live hit rock bottom, its gonna be growing pains coming back. Not every screen shot will look good, not every animation will be smooth. And I'm not making excuses I'm just telling it like it is.

No need to even talk to you anymore cause you will settle for a graphic upgrade. SMH

For the record tho im excited about what they are showing me beyond graphics.
