Good to know this was from months ago, if this true as per EA. I didn't mention before that I do like the up the floor dribble animations as well as the presentation. Some passes were ok, too, but everything else, not so much. I hope they've come a loooong way since this build.

im getting mixed reviews from the comments I wasn't able to get a view at the game some guys are saying it sucks but then others are saying it looks good I need a good review from a gamer not a fan boy I need answers how did it honestly look?

# 206 whoahello @ 08/21/12 02:26 PM

EA should release this game in late September for their own good because the only people that's going to buy it will be the parents getting advice from Gamestop employees .

This is the best way to put it.

Looks bad. Animations are terrible and feel really old.

Honestly, the atmosphere was good -- I actually love the way the crowd responds and the overall feel of Live over 2k. The PA system with the strong bass in the music sounds great. The overall colors of the game were vibrant and made the court and graphics look really good.

Now the gameplay and the commentary.... I won't get too negative but it looked and sounded severely outdated. No way that should be considered the next installment of this series.

This is a good summation imo.

The person playing obviously did not know how to play, but that is not an excuse for some of the gameplay I think it's important to note that EA's Live 13 is not going to compete with 2KSports' 2K13, and it wasn't intended to, despite all the shots they take at each other. I remain with an open mind and look towards the future for EA to improve the series. It animates awkwardly, and some of them look like they are only 30 fps animations or maybe it's the game or the video, but there is a lack of smoothness happening. Many of the animations seem out of context. There are missing dribble sounds when dribbling animations get interrupted by a players movement because the ball doesn't always hit the floor when interrupting the animation. I hope this is because of the early build. They still have a problem with ballhandlers changing direction with a live dribble. They move their feet instead of properly changing direction with the ball and pivot foot with either a crossover or pivot. This is resulting in a lot of the sliding. The camera is jumpy. It doesn't need to jitter as the ball is hitting the rim. It also didn't show a player in the far right corner. Players look lifeless. No emotions in their faces, even the body language is robotic. Some things I noticed from the video- -The intro looks great, even the glitch at the end before the starting lineup. -Player lighting is solid. If they could add progressive sweat, it could be amazing, but only if they... -Improve on the player models. Huge shoulders(Madden model?), no hips, jerseys look painted on. -Again the tip off sucks, nobody has ever gotten it right. No big deal. -I hate the default jumpshot. Who mocapped that? -It looks tough to get into the paint. The defenders are helping pretty well and sagging off poor shooters. This looks like it will be a positive, but we won't be able to tell without seeing some aggressive offense. -Turbo looks like it is back. There seems to be a clear difference when pushing the ball upcourt. -I think the IK technology is still there. Players will reach for the ball instead of using predetermined rebounding and blocking animations. --at 5:02 Bosh seems to be reaching out for the ball while being boxed out(or pushing Ibaka). The ball is tipped by Ibaka but Sefolosha gets the board. -RTP(collision animations selector) looks like it is in. 7:52 layup has two different animations for each the shooter and defender. -Substitution cutscene is unnecessary and awkward. A high five or something instead of a head nod would make more sense. -Post-basket camera cuts have an abrupt lock on the player creating a disorientating effect while they are animating. They should use dampening like they did with the PS2/Xbox versions. -Crowd looks great, but many of their animations lack context and look like they are there just to make them seem active. None of it seems to match the crowd sound. -Commentary is good, but Van Gundy needs to be more consistent. He seems to be quiet for long periods of time. -9:15, Collison takes a collision from the front yet falls forward on his face. I wonder if the collision system thinks that Lebron used his off arm to push Collison while going up with the layup. Awkward moment for the collision system. -9:42, Dwyane Wade passes through part of Harden, and Harden takes a reverse charge/flop. The dunk looks like an old animation and does not match Wade's momentum on his drive. It was also much smoother of an animation and looked out of place than the other ones. -Slippery slidery going on everywhere. Check out Shane Battier at 10:00 after his step back post shot. His first step is at the elbow of the freethrow line. -There is an icon showing who you are going to pass to. CLOCK SPEED!!!! They took the old Madden idea. They make the clock go faster, but the shot clock is still natural. This could allow for realistic stats while maintaining realistic minutes as well.

The build IMO is very recent. The guy was downloading Castlestorm while playing they barely sent out the review codes for that game. Cannot be that old if u have all the Digital Download menu integration, and all the teams in them. How much are the models going to change after those 1000's of man hours on them? It just makes sense because they have had a blackout when it comes to covering this game but my buddy at Machinima told me they are having a media event in which it will be hands-on playing. I will be going with him so i can see if this hot garbage has improved.

# 214 noshun @ 08/21/12 02:32 PM

What I did like was the atmosphere, the sounds of the game, and the lighting. While the commentary sounded okay, there is just lots of deads space within it.
Everything else was mediocre or brutal.

Same, Worse, or Better than what you saw at E3?

The crowd was always good... they didnt even have to touch that and probably didnt. I cannot credit them for adding something already done, they have excellent sound engineers.

For a sec I thought the OKC uniforms looked a bit purple, or was that just me?

Still, and again if presentation was a pumping point, is has to be more than a screen wipe to really be more than what it was.

# 217 MilkmanAnt @ 08/21/12 02:34 PM

This is from at least early May w/ the Brooklyn Nets & updated records. It might be even as early as mid-June since they ran the Finals rematch.

EA's statement shouldn't change anyone's concerns. It's that bad.

This is basically what they said after we went to the Venice Beach even during the Elite fiasco, and it turns out that was the entire game... we didn't just play a demo, it had all the teams and all the modes, screens, you name it.

I dont believe EA, especially when they've been scared to show anything

# 219 Khimera @ 08/21/12 02:38 PM

Wow...just wow. Now we all know why there has been little to no information regarding the game. The folks at 2K are probably jumping for joy. What a big disappointment. Also, definitely going to be a downloadable game.
