Yes something is wrong with the jerseys. They don't match the improved look of the player models. They seem stretched out and painted on. It's hard to describe.

Shaq and Ernie does not look next gen!

Can anyone post gifs of all the crossovers?

While there might be some issues of traveling etc I think I'm liking the end result of the spacing that is created and ability to get to the hoop. Not sure any bball game has gotten a crossover right as far as what it can create.

It's actually easy to describe. The neck area is to wide for one so it exposes the players' shoulders too much. The v necks(Lakers/Heat/Raptors/Etc.) threading texture under the collar is also too noticeable(art team should've minimized it even if it was scanned). There is also a weird distortion of logos and jersey numbers when the players perform certain moves. For whatever reason, when they scanned these jerseys, it didn't account for cloth movement. Other wise when just looking straight on, the textures are on point.

Wish they would've shown a Blake dunk with more air time

I can respect all of the complaints and what not but I'm being honest with myself here. This looks damn good and better than the comp in a lot of areas(accessories/shoes obviously but jersey textures, hair textures(Nerlens Noel good god), some skin textures, and most importantly body types(noticeable difference between Wade/Bron/Howard/Lillard). It also looks like it plays WAY smoother than Live 14 and no matter how "wonky" some animations look, the majority looked good to me and more like Live 10(which is still one of the better bball games to date).
If the gameplay is as good as this 50 seconds looked and the presentation is even halfway decent(having ESPN alone helps but they really need better commentary and realtime pregame/ingame/postgame cutscenes) this will be a decent alternative from 2k.

EDIT: BTW, I forgot to mention it but one thing they do seem to have an upper hand in as well is the players' emotion looking lifelike. I'll say one thing, 2k's emotion last year was nice, but it's something about it that didn't "look real" if you know what I mean. Also there was a lot of the same things repeated EVERYTIME down the court(pointing and skipping back/ index finger hitting head). None of those actually look like something i'd see an NBA player do tbh. Even the Melo "3 to the dome" didn't look or feel right, same for Westbrook. They seemed "weak" and lacking emotion.
Seeing Westbrook in this trailer looked like something he'd do, it had that...aggression he does it with. The snippet of Melo also had the correct finger placement and looked exactly like how he'd do it. Then when it comes to yelling, it just looks more believable on Live. The veins popping out on the neck and the arms tensing and flexing(Noah WOAH just like real life), it just comes alive and pops out at you more.

As someone who just played Live 14 yesterday, i'm conflicted. It's like I know I shouldn't buy this one, yet it is so much of a jump in multiple areas that I feel like I owe it to myself after essentially being their beta tester. Very very interested to hear more about the advancements AI-wise on offense and all of the defensive additions. Ultimately Live 14 does not play very different from team to team so I look forward to a blog addressing that.
