I just cant stop watching Chalmers.

I mean he looks like he is....

Feeling the holy ghost

Grooving on Ex in the club

Making love to a groupie errr pro

Advancing to the ECF

60 years old reminiscing to Chief Keef.


If a 3 second gif can be so entertaining and tell that many stories then you know we are in the presence of genius.

I didn't realize from October 24 to November 6th suddenly encompassed a month of time. EA was talking about pretty much nothing but BounceTek and dribbling from E3 (June mind you) up until about a week ago. Not even in the same ballpark of what you're trying to go with here. Anyway, before this video dropped, people were in complaining wanting to hear more about the footplanting and the gameplay that's in the game, here's a video detailing that and suddenly it's not enough. Come on people.

They did look back a few pages

Umm where is anything with gameplay here? its all about the graphics with highlight plays

Thanks. Now I just watched that gif entirely too many times.

Exactly how am i wrong? i watch mostly Bears games unless a Touchdown is scored , big play happens , big tackle there is not much going on but focus on the game.

Now compare it to Basketball and look at the difference in emotion and which actually would be more visible in a video game.

...seriously, people either can't read or can't hear? I'll post it AGAIN.

NBA 2K14 on PS4 will feature re-built game modes, stunning life-like graphics, and a brand new gameplay engine.

Quote:

With Eco-Motion, the entire NBA experience comes to life in ways never before seen in a video game, including crowd reactions, atmosphere, coaching strategies, real player voices, and most of all the emotion of the game. Player animations are dynamic, and evolve on the fly as you play. Player personalities and emotions factor into the game as well, affecting how players perform and even behave on the court. No longer will players look like robots on the court. Now you will feel the emotion of the game in a living, evolving basketball environment.

From the video:

"For us on the gameplay side what that really means is making sure that these guys think, that they behave, that they act the way they do in real life."

"One of the main things you will see and feel right away is foot planting. Footwork is everything in basketball."

"Every animation can be altered and change to reflect what's happening within the game."

"we've got this new eco-motion engine that can drive so many different things. it's our rendering, its our AI, its our animations, its everything."

Just to make it easier, bolded for gameplay references.. This is not JUST graphics. No they didn't show you straight up 5 on 5 raw gameplay but to say there is no gameplay here is just ignorant.

So you never see players celebrate after matching a catch? Making a tackle? Missing a sack? Making a big block?

Look how sherman reacts after bat downs, not just interceptions for TDs. Football is FULL of emotion on every single play.








It's just a block right? Emotion.


Look at the dline after they knock the pass down.

Emotion everywhere.. Haven't even shown the negative emotions after a dropped catch, missed block, etc etc etc.

Touché exaggeration effect but it still doesn't take away from what I was saying. That the news is repetitive and that we have heard it before.. And that this blog was meant to reach a broader audience. You can gawk over the screen shots if you want. Nothing wrong with that. I personally would like to know what I'm getting with my sixty bucks. Something in depth for a game that comes out tuesday .But it is what it is man. My opinion. Never said it was fact.

Facial expressions are not the only way to express emotion.

When you see players talking trash, clapping, screaming, and other physical displays of emotion, you can see these guys aren't robots out there.

The only reason you see group celebrations when TDs are scored is because that's the only time they actually have time to celebrate. That doesn't mean they don't play with emotion every other play.
