3rd photo looks horrible

but i'm not even sweating the graphics I've never had any issues with Live in that area.....

It's the player movement I wish they would just go all in on for once....

I know there's a lot of young bucks who get into sneakers, tat's and faces but I could live with decent graphics especially if the gameplay, animations and movement was top notch

EYE CANDY can only get you so far if the game moves like crap once again

There are plenty of 60 dollar video games that perform this very well and you can't keep making excuses for a sports game that has failed multiple times if you expect anything to get better. It has nothing to do with control either..what they don't need is any dishonest feedback because someone wants their game to be good. Sent from my SM-N910P using Tapatalk

i gave zero dishonest feedback. I gave my opinion. Tbh, yes the harden sequence looked a little hitchy while he was sizing up green. But it was clearly showcasing signature style, so that's a +.

The only video games I care to play are hoops games unless it's virtual reality. I'm solely a basketball junkie, no other sports intrigue me at all other than soccer.

I saw improvement here, 23. That's not a dishonest opinion my friend.

Exactly, these struggle Live apologists are starting to come out the woodworks. I cant believe we still have to talk about animations. That's been a Live issue going all the way back to PS2/Xbox days and its still freaking here. Live has been awful since 2007, here we are talking about that same ish 10 years later. 10 years of pure garbage from EA, with a fresh coat of paint.

I agree that graphics don't matter.

I almost wish they'd just forget about trying to compete with 2k's graphics and focus on solid animations, player movement, user control, solid online play, and FUN...

I do think we gotta keep it real to counter these You Tubers, though... it's pretty obvious that NBA LIVE 18 is planning to sweet talk these YouTubers into giving them good reviews.

So from what I've seen from Live 18 (same as everybody else, just the screenies and short trailer), graphics are top-notch but animations are a bit creepy, like they don't look human, but instead look a bit uncanny valley.

In 2017, i feel like society excepts nothing less than perfection. No shortcomings. That's simply not realistic nor possible. I've yet to meet a single human being with no flaws, or holes in their character, so to speak. We will see more soon. This didn't show us much, mostly the fact that signature animations are a focus this year. And it's about damn time, lol. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Sorry I can't overlook bad player movement and animations in a sim sports game, if it ain't right I can't play the game for an extended amount of time.

As with any similar competing products, it has to at least match the basic functions of the product it is competing against, if not then it can't compete. NBA Live cannot reproduce a basic function of it's competition. I feel Madden would be in the same boat as NBA Live if 2K was still allowed to make NFL games, animations and movement is something EA Sports just doesn't do well, it's sad because it's a basic function of all sports.

I'm not calling you dishonest, I'm saying they can't afford more of that and we don't need to give them that about this game. None of us.

The thing you say you can ignore is the very thing that keeps the game at bay, and that's a problem on a LARGE scale.

Don't get me wrong, I did nothing but buy multiple basketball games when they came out before things started to dwindle, and I want this to be playable with longevity, but im not accepting mediocre basics either.

Im not rolling with yall folks who've been claiming foundation since Live 2007 and it never gets off the carpet.

I'll get to see for myself at EA play. I don't trust most Youtubers anyway because they wreck stuff real good, they'll pump up things for pay although agent00 is a cool kid.

The movement needs to be fixed badly. Once Live went south in that area they lost and haven't been able to get back up since.
