They should want to be like 2K in terms of being a good/great basketball sim, assuming that's the goal of Live, but Live needs its own identity as well. Something that makes Live different from 2k. Right now Live just needs to fined a way to gain fans and be relevant, which can be done in a number of ways. They can take advantage of what people dislike about 2K and make them a strength (better online experience, more control and freedom, better stadium atmosphere, etc). They could add a mode that is essentially NBA Street, since it seems like they won't make an actually new NBA Street game. I know I'd buy Live day one if there was an Arcade type mode that was essentially a modern version of Street. Or simply sell the game at launch for cheaper ($40-$45). I'm sure there would be a lot of people willing to buy Live instead of 2k for a cheaper price or atleast buy Live as well as 2k. This is what 2k did way back for their 2k5 games and it worked. I'd go as far as to say that's part of the reason 2k was able to become so popular. People that normally didn't buy 2k games had a cheap way to fully experience 2k and it opened there eyes to a new experience.

Selling the game cheaper would make EA the biggest hypocrites of our gaming generation. The one key aspect of them influencing the NFL to go the exclusive route was this, therefore they have put themselves in a corner with their lackluster NBA franchise. Honestly I don't feel sorry for them nor do I feel that I should support their product until they deliver what the competition has failed to deliver, which honestly is not much, 2K has brought their A game every, despite drop offs here and there.

no this new stuff is wanting peoples' lively-hood taken cause your "opinion" doesn't match your idea of progress in something you had no hand in progressing. AND all this from a trailer of sorts in the month of MAY!! ....MAY!!

It is good that they took time off to try and right what was a very wonky game. Even still thought NBA2k looks better. I am interested in seeing how it plays.

Stick skills matter this year. Who you're using matters as well. The offense/defense system is really slick. I hope there is some info coming at EA play about it so I can talk about it.

To counter that ,the defense has this timing system where if you time your moves right (I think they're alluding to the angles), you can negate the offenses dribbling moves They also said they reworked the post and that there much more moves. Emphasis on size and strength as a factor in the post Something to do with signature moves for players. That's probably for the bigger names. If most or all of the big names have signature moves that would be cool That's about all I can remember them claiming

New dribbling system, new defensive system, and one of my favorite parts, new signature style tech.. Once it's talked about and I can go into more depth about it, you all will see why I'm excited about it. Lastly, the in the paint physicality will help this game. There's some really nice tech in the game this year which will lead to some very nice battles.

There's some animation carryover, which I don't like, but they're replacing them.

I can dig what your saying, but sometimes change is necessary. And I don't think anyone is making any definitive proclamation in May, dude said if.

Pretty sure this is someone who as seen and played the game, a 30sec clip only says so much about a game that goes on for about 20min, so I'm pretty the build that will probably be played at EA plays still won't be the final build but I hope it does nothing less than impress. Just send my copy already EA
