[BDM313]

Gotta see some 5 on 5 gameplay the animations still got that same stiff look like retro live games...

We're smarter than this.

A marketing department slaps lipstick on a pig meaning they take from what will draw the most attention and publish it for the masses. They would never intentionally release bad footage. Let's face it..this was the best stuff they could find.

I don't care how many carryover animations they scrap. It won't be enough because that sig animation of Harden is what they chose to feature...and it looks like crap.

New tech means absolutely nothing if it cannot animate fluidly. You cannot hide animations when there are only 10 players on a court.

What is the point of releasing yet another game that can't even get the barebones right?

And who are the yes men working there telling each other that this nonsense is acceptable in 2017?

Preach on brother

I hate to be negative poster towards Live but at what point will we just get a game that provides animations which resemble that of true NBA ballers?

Seems like there's always something that doesn't get done right with Live when it comes to movement.

Opinion. That is yours. I love Live 16. Still play it. I own the other game too. I enjoy basketball and am excited to play 18. No need to talk down on or hate on anyone. I'm sure the people making the game work plenty hard.

I think the new tech will be huge. It's an exciting time to be a basketball video game fan.

But EA put of that video. They think it looks great otherwise EA wouldn't have put it out there. All that video confirmed to me is that they still are cutting corners. How in the world do you take 2 years off, and try to put mocap on top of/blend in with a base of bad spastic animations?
Your​ quote entitles them to keep making excuses, and your quote is an excuse itself. It screams the "SLA" (struggle Live apologists) acceptance of mediocrity.

Wrong. Wrong. Wrong!

My quote matey says I'll hold my judgment until I buy the product. That's informed decision making for me.

I prefer not to pepper the forum with negativity. It's not the vibe I want to carry in my head as I do my real job.

Dude. People like what they like. I understand if your opinion is not high on a product. That does not mean everyone will have the same opinion.
