Don't forget the 1st red flag that's being overlooked: no Frostbite. this is still the Ignite engine. They took 2 years off, and now the excuse will be they need another 3 years to fully implement it. Its the perfect string along tactic, that they've been doing to Live fans for years, since Elite.

Frostbite is nothing but a graphics engine anyway. Star wars gave been using it and that's about it.

They said ignite would be this big thing and turned out not to be

I just can't get behind the animations in EA sports games, look robotic/clunky and that net still animates oddly. Graphics look great and we'll see about gameplay but the animations are still eyesores.

Okay I'm going to be honest....Nothing about that trailer impressed me....The lighting is horrible, the net still animates terribly, the bodies are ridiculously off, jerseys are hella big and goofy looking, and the player movement still don't even look as fluid and natural as 2k9...SMH

At this point EA should just go ahead and cancel the entire series. They really had a realistic shot to win over a good majority of the 2k community (after 2k17 let so many people down) and this the best they could come up with? After 2 whole years? YIKES

I'd honestly be more excited if Sony brought back the NBA:The Life series

Frostbite...

Ignite...

What are these and how will these affect my buying decision? Any examples of other sports titles using either of these?

Also Kyrie Irving looked off they gave him a pin head with a giraffe neck. Russell Westbrook head looked a tad bit small and his neck need's to be a tad bit wider like NBA Live 16 version. Animations looked the same as NBA Live 16 a bit clunky and robotic. Overall it's a first day buy for me as long as there's roster editing.

ROSTER EDIT WILL BE MY DEAL BREAKER! I can not give a pass this go-round...I'm the type who buys both franchises every year if not for nostalgia alone but EA completely disregarded the staple of the franchise(each year promoting shoes mainly) truly turned me off the thought of wasting another $15-$20 on LIVE.

That reverse layup by Kyrie can be blocked by a 5 years old boy.

The animations look really off.

Firstly, YT is becoming excruciating.

Im pretty positive on what I saw. The animations look smoother to me. Was any written info released?

And the best thing about Live? Those beautiful net and rim physics.
