I unzipped the file and extracted it to my documents and when I try to play the video all I get is audio. Any help?

EDIT: Nevermind, I didn't realize you had to download QuickTime to play it.

Is it going to have gameface? Also will it have a "pro clubs" game mode like FIFA's?

I'm going to say no to both of those, I think they were too invested in changing the graphics this year to spend time implementing game face.

I thought that's one thing Live always had for the most part, aside from a few screwy looking faces in 14. But for the last 5 Live games, give or take, faces were always great. Remember when Live came out to the 360? I remember seeing wade warming up in that high tech gym and his face with the sweat coming off his skin, looked great. A few step backs here and there, but overall, I don't think Live ever looked BAD.

Damn. I was hoping.

I would have bought it without question.

Oh well, I'll probably get it if 2k's gameplay drives me insane again (it does every year)

Im not knocking on what I see AT ALL.. however due to EA's track record with Live I will have to make my final (or close to final judgement) when I can play an actual demo or have a real copy of the game running on my system. It's a trailer. I feel like the in game graphics WILL look like that, but again with EA's track record with Live, and a very well deserved track record might I add, there is just no way of really knowing until you are playing it. Putting together a 1 minute or 2 minute "sizzle video" (thats what we call it in Advertising) where you can put a lot of time and effort into tweaking, enhancing and adjusting a pre-rendered video is totally different than "can EA render this kind of graphics and animation in real time during an actual game on my system". I know there are some fan boys here that are confirming those are in-game graphics but again, when you are a fanboy of the series (and nothing wrong that that), you will embellish on what you know about the game to make yourself and others feel better.

Again, NOT knocking what I saw. It was a visual orgasm of goodness but I cant play a trailer... so for me the jury on what its going to look like in live action gameplay is still out.

I don't mind the "3 year" plan so to speak but be upfront and honest about it. And lets be real. EA felt Live 14 was a great game until the public said otherwise. Think about it. Live 14 was god awful.. BUT if not one single person said it was, would EA have done all the PR stuff they did? No. So back to the 3 year plan, I don't mind it, but admit thats what it is and THEN don't charge me 60.00 for year 1 and year 2 of your 3 year plan. Put out Live 14 and call it "NBA LIVE 33%".. and sell it for 20.00 (25 percent of full price).. Year 2 call it NBA LIVE 66% and sell it for 40.00 and when we are into year 3 call it "NBA LIVE FINALLY" and THEN charge us 60.00

You should never judge a company by it's words only it's actions. All companies will tell you whatever they have to in order to increase profits. This will always be the case as long as we live in a monetary driven world. You will be greatly disappointed if you go through life without embracing that simple fact.

Like I said instead of buying "lip service" you should evaluate the product on it's on merit. Personally I never get why people are so attracted to marketing ploys. It's mostly hot air the proof is in the pudding. You give me something I like and think is worth the price and there's a good chance I'll buy. Miss me with the talking.
