I'm saying it's entirely a cut scene because that type of smoothness has never been seen in Live gameplay. Also take notice of the other players in the background. The smoothness is usually only apparent during EA cut scenes. Even with what little Live14 gameplay footage we've seen, Live14 seemingly will have the same classic EA robotic animation. I went back to youtube and took a look at all prior Live releases. There's a quality to Live's animation that's a trademark to both LIVE and MADDEN's franchises ever since the PS3/XBOX360 era hit.

Yeah I meant one entirely long cut scene animation, that's why it looks smooth because there is no animation transition.

Not sure about that, yes they have the ESPN format but its just short bullet points that go on way too long and I expect it will be extremely repetitive and skipped over.

This. The other thing is what if you're not a huge fan of ESPNs look? Also, how about some creativity? Doing something new instead of leaning on ESPN. Just asking. I do like it. So let's get that straight. But the use of the ESPN presentation package should be a given considering the boatload of money they are paying. And throwing the "by EA Sports" into it just breaks the illusion for me. Someone asked earlier of VC did that and I don't think they did.

The presentation is great in this game. No question and it's one area that 2K could use a shot in the arm in. My questions is: "Wen will either game decide to do the starting lineup introductions?" That needs to come into play.

Actually, the presentation part looks good(take notes Madden)..I like JR with his knowledge and intellect of basketball, but his voice just does not work for me on the intro part.Note: spoiled by Damien Bruce of 2k..lol
