Terrible, same problems as always. Robotic animations, pathetic ball/rim physics, unrealistic movement, it looks like the game skip frames when a player does a move.

There is no way this can compete with 2k

# 265 shadio5 @ 08/21/12 03:10 PM

The frame rate on the animations are the real problem here. They need to slow down the frame rate animation and try to smooth out the in game movement.......this has always been a problem for EA live.

I noticed the frame skips as well. It's like there are worm holes hidden on the court and the players keep zapping through them.

I see nobody bothered to read what EA had to say about this video..

# 269 BobbyColtrane @ 08/21/12 03:15 PM

I'll buy it if that's the Vita version...

# 270 m1ke_nyc @ 08/21/12 03:16 PM

I see potential but still needs alot more work. The gameplay is slowed down similar to 2K. Again I see potential but another year of work before it playable. And the graphics need a MAJOR upgrade.

# 271 deetoman @ 08/21/12 03:17 PM

I will wait until some real footage to come out to make judgment, its obvious this is a much much older build that got released without EA knowing...... This is def going to hurt them though!

# 272 AnnihilusLivius @ 08/21/12 03:19 PM

cedric...you actually said this on NLSC forum...?

	The presentation looks nice better than NBA 2K13 but the gameplay footage is not that impressive I think this footage is from a early build because the animations look like the E3 screenshots.

c'mon man! They can have JVG & Mike Breen & all that ESPN crap...they can't still beat 2k13 presentation. Not by a long shot. Hell they can't even beat 2k11 presentation. It's time for you to get real and move on like i did. I lost all my faith on EA today. They showed nothing but disrespect for us and continue to lie on purpose, it's sad really...

# 273 shadio5 @ 08/21/12 03:21 PM

For some reason i don’t think their using mo-cap for their animations on this game. Think they’re going with more of a created animation technique with a freestyle design method.

wish they would have started from scratch

UFC EA MMA will be great..........

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.

We also see that you didn't bother to read what someone who personally saw the E3 build had to say about this footage. This is not a build from E3, it's more recent. As stated by other posters here, this is nothing but damage control.

Some quick thoughts from a passionate lover of real basketball and sports' video games but who is quite not professional on noticing all the intricate stuff that all you guys do such a good job of noticing to help us get a better game from 2k each year...so as a novice on noticing some nuances of games to dissect them I say the following.

Presentation: Pretty good, not great, but good. I thought it was fine, definitely the strong point of what I'm writing about.
Commentary: Mediocre to above average. The play by play was above average, while I found Van Gundy very average/mediocre. He sounded so generic and scripted, very non flowing in a sense of the word.
Gameplay: Just seemed to be not fluid, no good flow to it. Very below average to average look to it. As I said earlier, I'm not able to pick at all the things some are who know what to look for in gameplay issues but even I can do the eye test and see 2K>>>>>>>>>>>>>this in terms of gameplay by far. This was pretty below average IMO.
Overall: Bland, mediocre experience. Some will buy this (if it releases) but will regret it instantly unless they are a really really casual fan and just do not know how mediocre an experience this is in comparison to what we will get form 2k13. If it is on the cheap, that helps and more might buy but not me. No way.

I don't know guys. Even if this is a different build then the E3 build, it doesn't mean that they didn't have a updated build & just not showcase it at E3.

I'm not supporting this video, but I am interested in some type of competition. I feel it will better the industry as well as the reining champ & we all can agree that that is 2k.

Obviously there is still a lot of work that needs to go into this game & I sure hope they can deliver.

Yeah that was pretty horrible for a 2012 game. Same NBA "Dry"(Live). I don't understand why EA can't get Live to animate right. And the player models are absolutely horrid. Why do all the players walk and run with bent knees and hunch backs. Also the sliding and lack of foot planting is last gen.

Nothing about this video was good. Well the commentary and layup line was decent. Live has been a sad mess for far too long. If this is, or is even close to the final product, it is a slap in the face to every NBA Live fan. EA has had 2 years to improve. This game looks to be a hot mess. SMDH

# 278 Gatorfan Frank @ 08/21/12 03:26 PM

The uniforms look just like the ones in 2K, but ones the players on the sidelines wear...you know, the low-res versions. Just terribleness all around, even if this is from months ago. Hilarious!

# 279 magicman32 @ 08/21/12 03:30 PM

I was also wondering. How the heck did this video even get leaked? Or did EA release it and now doing damage control because of the fans reaction? What is really going on?

# 280 Cherifanaiz @ 08/21/12 03:30 PM

Oh my goodness!!! What a terrible game! I think that this game don�t be in the market in october... I buyed the 2 basket games since the origin, but this not have name... It�s worse than NBA Live 1996!!!
