That's why you're seeing such angry, angst filled posts and comments from Live diehards. That's my armchair psychologist's take anyway.

The issue I have with this opinion (and I'm not saying you are directly feeling this way) is that you have to have picked sides to see things this way.

In order to feel like someone else is having trouble facing reality, you have to believe that your opinion is reality. So your mind is also set; and that makes it impossible to understand someone else's opinion.

I think those that are angry from Live's side are angry because no one is letting them have their own opinion and thoughts about the title. The second they say they like it, they get jumped on for thinking there's something to like in the teaser.

How else should they feel when they are outnumbered?

I actually liked the way Nash dribbled towards the hoop after the pick and it looked realistic imo. As Simeon already said, if it plays like a better polished version of Live 10, I'll look into it, because Live 10 was EA's best basketball game ever.

cognitive dissonance

noun (Concise Encyclopedia)
Mental conflict that occurs when beliefs or assumptions are contradicted by new information. The concept was introduced by the psychologist Leon Festinger (1919–89) in the late 1950s. He and later researchers showed that, when confronted with challenging new information, most people seek to preserve their current understanding of the world by rejecting, explaining away, or avoiding the new information or by convincing themselves that no conflict really exists. Cognitive dissonance is nonetheless considered an explanation for attitude change.
