Thoughts?

That's gotta be from an older build (since the rosters aren't updated), but still... I don't think the final version is going to be much better than this.

If this is a digital download, it needs to be $14.99 to even have a chance at selling.

I like the atmosphere.... and.....

Well, definitely awful animations and skating is there, it was the same with Live 10 and the gameplay was ok though... Hopefully it is a very early build, and the player is not helping either.

I want to keep my mind open, perhaps with the pad in our hands the feeling is good, who knows. If the online is good (user vs user) and the gameplay is not "cheeseable" I may give it an opportunity.

Cheers! ;-)

Even with the lowest of expectations, I have to say that was even worse than I feared. There is a time to pull the plug on a product that will kill a brand, but for EA, there are two times apparently....2010 and right now. Just let it go quietly....

I do like the arena atmosphere...it just sounds awesome
As for the gameplay....oofa

Based on this gameplay, im still getting 2k. The players movement is still kind of robotic and just not realistic.

Just terrible, was really hoping for something much better than this at this point

The animations are horrible and the faces are bad. They can't be serious with this.

Did Cedric have permission to post this? I got a copyright claim notice.

woow this cant even sell if it were out for gameboy. But i bet somebody is pulling a prank. if ea hasn't released the cover player why the heck would they release gameplay footage? this isnt live 13

ESPN presentation is the ONLY bright spot of this. WTH have they been doing over the past 2 years? I LOVE the Live series and this looks like it could be the end of it. Maybe it's time EA moves on to baseball.

I didn't mind most of the faces, actually. It was the bodies, however, that looked the most atrocious. Everyone is super skinny, and I cracked up when I saw Perk for the first time.

And as a side note, whatever happened to that "move with a purpose" motto? Did it change to "stand like a statue" and I missed the memo?

EDIT: The EA hounds are on the loose!
