No offense to the radio host who does the voice overs.

Yes, its time for 2K to give us that NFL2K5 style presentation with a halftime show with video highlights of other games going on around the league and commentary breaking down the highlights -------------- ITS TIME 2K!

Unless you don't like 2k the question is what have they done to lose ground. For me, nothing. They continue to deliver. But I love the game and the consistency of the product. They don't have to reinvent the game of basketball. I will buy live if it is worth me buying. I wont buy it for the sake of having it or because I like the commentary or for competition. If its not better. Its just not.

THANK YOU! I'm glad someone finally said this! POST OF THE FREAKIN MONTH!

Now speaking to ball handling. Eco Motion allows them to track true physics. Ball spinning when dribbling, ball in hands. Tangible object. — Chris Manning 2K14 (@LD2K) October 23, 2013

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

Seriously though watch this whole video again, there talking about nothing but gameplay for basically the whole video. They talk about graphics for like 10 seconds then jump back into talking about gameplay yet people are claiming that's all the video's about because it's stands out so much. Lol I think for any of there gameplay related vids to really come across is for them to have no in game visuals because it's so distracting to some. This is a DIRECT quote from the vid: Quote: We expect the graphics on any next gen system game to be spectacular, but moreso than anything else I think this year the first thing that hits them about our game is that they feel alive This pretty much highlights the theme of this vid so I don't know where comments like this is coming from

i think the issue is that they talked about gameplay but didnt show any examples except for one footplanting clip which only showed one player footplanting for a few seconds, and not even in a real game scenario. i can pull that same amount of footplanting from cg 2k14. the thing they talked about the most was emotion which really doesnt affect how the game plays at all. they said the think behave and act the way they do irl but that may not translate to how they play. it means theyll emote the way they do irl. they need to show examples of players like lebron purposely sagging behind on a fast break to get a chasedown block, kyrie irving breaking someone down with sizeups, etc. they talked about the improved crowd reactions but didnt show it at all. they can say all they want but without examples its hard to take them at their word. i mean if i made something as amazing at this sounds i would be champing at the bit to show it off, not just talk about it.

What? They said on numerous occasions that emotion effect how they play. And by this logic things like blogs hold no weight. But I do agree it would be nice to see these things in motion.

Why must folks high jack EVERY single thread on EVERY forum with the same complaint. This is what happens with nitpicking everything; none of the game developers want to show anything at all because it'll be days of undressing a lot if hard work. You can't tell me you want to see gameplay just to marvel at it. Stuff like this is why you see no Madden, no Live, no 2k. Be lucky you see FIFA - they have little to fear. You'll see the Show because you don't have any other viable options. And don't say it's because they have something to hide. They all know nothing hides from the prying eyes of OS. They should all be gun shy by now regardless of the quality or status if their game. It's just SO sad that a thread for such a well done and informative video devolves into yet another bitchfest. So tired of this. I avoid the Live forums because of this. Figured it'd be safe over here. Guess I was wrong.

Exactly, I don't want gameplay, being a gamer long enough you can feel a game based on tidbits. I want to be saying wow while playing this game the first time.
