Really? They're already on a redesign of the dribbling system (2K11) and it's already capable of everything you see touted in Bouncetek.

I honestly think that the people working at EA believes it looks good.

Maybe because they see it everyday. Or maybe because they have seen the actual gameplay. Or maybe they are just ignorant.

But I think they really believe it is a good product or else they wouldn't have put those videos out.

It is kind of the same way they thought Elite 13 was good. Right until it got out to the public and received negative feedback.

Holy crap. Are you serious? Blind? Were you just looking at the dribbler during standing dribble moves? You had to be. I'm not complaining about it, but for you to say there was NONE makes you either blind or someone stretching the truth by a LOT. I've already said that foot locking is NOT an easy thing to nail especially in a sports game. Don't expect to not see some sliding on occasion. But again, don't try to make this statement when the video shows quite a bit of it.

You know what man... screw 2k

If you turn on the tv, NBA Tv, Fox Sports, ESPN, ABC, youtube, Apple TV, Roku, etc etc

There is now way you look at a real basketball game and then look at this and say "yep, looks just like the real deal"

That's just not possible in this day and age

This close to release? Forget everything else, THAT is the biggest red flag of all. AI should have that nailed down by now with the game going gold in weeks.

I think they have what's most common in writers. The first draft of a book a writer does is absolutely terrible 100% of the time. Why? Because we didn't write what we think we wrote and we didn't explain what we thought they explained, hence plotholes everywhere. Why is that? Because we are too close to the writing (or product in this case). We need to take a stepback, wait for a month or two, then look at it again or send it out for feedback/get it cleaned up by a professional editor because that's what editors are for.

From what I've seen at EA continually over the years, they don't send out or heed any feedback, whatsoever. So when they do get feedback (reviews) and they end up negative, they end up puzzled because they still believe what they wrote (or created) is a good product, when that is clearly not the case.

They don't think it doesn't look good.

There was a reason they released no footage of NBA Live 2007 besides that Sonics/Pistons fake video. They knew it was crap.

And in the same vein, there was a reason they did release the Elite 11 demo. That game was even shipped. Right until hard8times dropped a bomb on them.

If they thought that the Steve Nash video was trash, it wouldn't have gotten the green light to be released. Trust me.
