Its like beating the dead horse, similar to live with the dribbling system. I'm sure at this point, everyone wants to see how the game plays for a full qtr or so and various in depth articles on game modes and such.

Dude you're ignoring how the Ecomotion changes gameplay as a whole. There's alot to see here in terms of gameplay if you're willing to look.

Now, players adjust their movements based on the environment around them. Jumpshots will change midair, dribble moves will alter in between dribbles, and players will land in a unique way following every thunderous dunk or block. No two animations will ever appear exactly the same.

From a gameplay standpoint this is HUGE. Not to mention how the emotions changes the way people play.

Really great stuff, after the OMG trailer 2K14 shot to the top of my “must play” list…
The Eco motion engine looks really impressive and seems like it could potentially be rather versatile…is the engine built specifically for basketball? Or could it be potentially be adapted to other sports like football, soccer etc?

It’s built for basketball at this time, but we definitely wanted to make it the most versatile engine around.

Hmmm, wonder if thats a typo, and he meant to say want instead of wanted.

Tattoos on the darker players like Nate actually look like they do IRL. Not standing out so distinctly.

So...I asked Ronnie if the Eco motion engine was built specifically for basketball or if it could be adapted for other sports like football and this was his reply

It's ambiguous...but it's also promising for those of us wanting a new 2k football game (they could maybe do a college one now that Ea has backed out)

Edit: lol...someone got in before me...

Is that how LeBron yells?! Damn he sounds like something you'd hear out of that Finding Bigfoot show.

Either way, I'm getting both games because a change of pace is always needed.

game isn't looking very 'next gen' visually which is turning a lot of people off, including me personally. the real life tendency system looks very intriguing, though there should always be an option to edit because of CAPs.
