Remember you are a 3rd party Dev 2K and its your job to push the envelope on all, I see a bunch of advertising for one platform... what happen to the days when we got screens/vids on both platforms? I hope this isn't a trend.

This happens with multiplatform games for advertising/business reasons. I wouldn't expect the Xbox One version to be any different.

The only differences that I could see would be with the Kinect features and Dual Shock 4's touch screen. For example, on BF4 on Xbox One they say you can lean using the kinect and use voice commands. Or on NBA Live I just read they are using the feedback in the triggers. Haven't seen DS4's touchpad much but games will definitely take advantage of it.

I'm beyond impressed with the depth of detail in this game. Not only did they scan a majority of the players' faces, they actually mocapped their facial expressions aswell. I don't know if mocapped facial expressions for every player scanned is too much to hope for, but just the fact that all the stars have unique expressions is ambitious, and just a beautiful thing to watch. It's gonna take me 6 hours just to get through a game what with all the instant replay I'll be running...

Not sure if those medusa looking fixtures were in prior iterations of 2K.

But they certainly are in AAA for real. 2K's attention to detail is great.

Just like every other sports game, ever?

actually i think some of you are taking this ecomotion further then it really goes.

its made for the little tweeks to emotions as well as things like the ball spinning while in the players hand after its bounced. and back spinning at that(real physics). but what it doesnt say it does is actually separate the ball from the persons hand from a video game stand point. thats two different things. from looking at a hot animation of the ball spinning and physics of the ball bouncing a different direction on contact with the floor. vs the ball being truly loose from the players hand. dont be fooled by very pretty animations from 2k.

make darn sure their game play is on point before you start kissing the ring for next gen.
