That contact animation on the drive though


Sneakers, jerseys look WAY better than 2k's

I dont know guys, I think I both games this year.


By the way the features look great, at least they talked about defense.. we all know how bad the on ball defense for 2k is....

Hope to see more gameplay in the near future.

Totally agree.

But as the user I should feel like I made something happened not the game. So the key is finding the balance of animation vs freedom.

Understood. But drawn out animations are necessary to keep the game from looking stiff. That was the problem with NBA Elite and Live in general, IMO. Control is good. I'm not arguing against that. But you have to implement it in a way that is aesthetically pleasing or the game looks like crap. Like I said, there is a fine line and the main thing is to strike that perfect balance.

Yeah it's somewhere in the middle...because as the user I want to feel that what I made happen matters...

My thing is animation quality to control responsiveness, and finding the happy medium.

A game can have excellent animations and look the part of an NBA game, or it can have really good animations, with more control and play like the players that the game represents.

I want #2. I want to be in control of what my video game players do. I still want quality animations, but not at the total expense of control.

It may not make sense to some, but hopefully some understand what I'm trying to say.
