Players still can't stand straight/knees bent

Some things should be a baseline across all sports game that claim to be sim, and in 2017 realistic looking movement and animations is one of them.

Hopefully EA understands that fair or not, this game wont be released to universal praise....just dont abandon ship. I feel like they got spooked into abandoning their vision multiple times through 14-16

Just stick with it...

Their faces need more expression... from what I saw

That's true. If anything, they've released something to social media and bigger youtubers because they're confident with what they have so far. Unlike previous outputs where it was hush-hush until the last moment

At least Agent 00 was fair in his praises and criticisms if you heard them, and even said that those who were there got to see stuff that none of us had. He said it was pretty funny, for all the right reasons. We'll just have to wait until EA Play to really find out what's up

Im older, grew up playing Live in the 90's and early 2000's. I don't understand why some people are saying EA Sports games give you more control, imo I do not think they do, and if they do it's not that big of a difference that warrants EA Sports games bad movement and animations.

A few months ago after getting tired of playing 2K17 I installed and played Live 16 and imo 2K felt much better, I feel like I have much more control in NBA 2K, in NBA Live it feels like the dribble animations dictate the direction you go, in 2K you can control the direction you go with the left thumb stick. I prefer 2K controls better.

A lot of people here will be caught in that trap and end up dissapointed if thats their basis. Yes, in theory id take some clunky animations over suction/unrealistic outcomes etc....but as of right now, thats just a hypothetical...because that wasnt the case in Live 14, 15, or 16.... So ill keep pushing for a game that looks good in motion and plays well...I hope the community does to...

I think the 2 will always be compared. Fair or not. Roll back in time here on the forums. The back and forth has been going on since Live 03. Both bring something to the table. We the consumer win if sales are solid because both companies will push to be better every year. I played a lot of the other game this year. It's not bad it just does not draw me in like Live.

The big thing for me is that lots of people are talking. Good or bad that will drive sales as people will be aware of the game. I am fully on board with what I have see so far. I can't wait for more info.

I thought 2k17 finally found a good balance with their control and animation. I'm not a 2k head so every year I test it out with open eyes. I wish people would do the same here with live after actually playing the game.

In the third or 4th vid I think there was a written gameplay feature. Can someone post that? New post moves!!
