My impressions are here:

People need to understand the contextual differences between the 2k trailer and the Live trailer. The former has an obvious advantages in facial animations, but outside of that, you can credit a lot of the perceived gap in graphic production to the distinct methodologies behind how the clips were captured. One is slow moving, makes heavy use of zoom, and features a ton of cinematic cut screens/sequences in moments where the action is stopped or slowed.(pre game, free throw, time out, etc). The other moves at real time, while focusing more on signature dribble packages/shots(Kyrie, D. Williams, Lilliard, Duncan, Green, Melo, etc), and actual gameplay sequences. 2k's trailer was probably prettier, and therefore had more of a "wow" factor, but Live has a lot of good here as well. There were a few moments that were questionable, mostly on the defensive side, and I hope the crowd sits for a breather during actual gameplay, but for the most part, it looks good. Bouncetek could definitely be something that pushes the genre forward if it plays as smoothly as it appears in this trailer. EA isn't totally there just yet, but they're moving in the right direction. NBA Live 14 looks like it can the solid base for reestablishment that EA has long needed.

When it's less zoomed in, 2k's models like like higher resolution versions of those they've had for years. The facial animations have taken leaps, and the jerseys are better animated, but no, I'm not as taken back by 2k's visuals as some of you obviously are. I suspect the games will appear similar graphically on an HDTV.

Take off the EA fanboy glasses. It's really not close.

I watched the trailer and the first thought that came to mind was this Jay Z line: "A gun in your face and that's all you can come up with?"

It's less that I am a fanboy per say, and more that I am not a sheep.

So you're saying aside from the faces everything else looks better because of the camera angles?

Sigh all hope in EA sports in the realm of basketball and football is almost completely gone now.
Bring back NFL 2K please.

This game is a complete disgrace to basketball fans. How can people damage control this? You can tell from the trailer that BounceTek is SUPER overpowered. The point guards just blow right by the defenders. At the 0:29 clip, look at Stephon Curry's feet. What is he doing?!!??! In this man tap dancing??!!. Just look at the defenders feet while the ballhandler is dribbling. They are all flat footed, hunched over, tall and slender, and ice skating. The NBA is not going to be pleased after they watch the Youtube trailer. The video has more dislikes than likes. I was extremely hyped for this game, but I just canceled the pre-order. This looks more like an arcady type of game you just mess around with your friends. Someone posted that if Lives gameplay isn't 1000% this is going to be bad for EA. This video just ruined my Friday.

Stiff animations... Current gen graphics... Pretty much looks like a current gen game in every way possible.

I'll pass
