One thing I do like that I see is the varied heights of the dribbles throughout all the moves. Smooth

# 22 ForeverVersatile @ 07/25/13 01:42 PM

If its pre-rendered than that what it is. No way to flip or spin it.

in that case you could have put 2011, but again most people that use 2k in anything are very much 2k fanboys.. but My fault if you are not. I will be bigger and apologize, but anyway the actual video isn't rendered.. it looks damn good. Realistically live won't get credit due to NBA 2k's fanboyism

You ever seen Ray Allen's calves? Go take a look and google them. Makes the one's Kyrie has in that video like a small girl.

# 27 2_headedmonster @ 07/25/13 01:49 PM

Looked good, but it does looked rendered with the in game engine.

# 28 Bolt957 @ 07/25/13 01:50 PM

They definitely cleaned up the player model as compared to the CGI trailer at E3. Still 5v5 footage.

So your saying Kyrie will be talking during the game with no teammates or no opposing team on the court. Like I said pre-rendered in engine not actual game play. The game could possibly look that good though.

# 30 Riggins @ 07/25/13 01:52 PM

If it comes out and the gameplay looks decent then I'll go out and buy it, but until then I'm skeptical. I have a hard time believing players are going to move like that in the actual game.

Well that's what happen, when ea put trash out for 3yrs straight. One thing for sure, if live is a good game. It will mos def get credit here. live 10 got alot of love until jesus bynum showed up.

# 32 PH1LLYSFINEST13 @ 07/25/13 01:53 PM

Just for comparison so that everyone complaining about calves being to big. Those are Ray Allen's. Truth of the matter is , basketball players have fairly big/muscular calves. Its how you protect the knee. Build up the muscles below and above the knee. There are plenty of players with huge calves too, its not just some freak thing Ray Allen has going on.

# 33 Conda @ 07/25/13 01:59 PM

If this is "in-game", it's equivalent to a pre-rendered cut-scene. A marketing play on words to make people believe that's how the game will play. I want to see a great NBA Live 14, but I get suspicious when they do things like that. They still haven't shown any actual gameplay or gameplay screenshots. I just hope they don't cancel again.

Did you say this about the 2K trailer? Which is the essentially the same as what you described. God you fanboys are dense....

Kyrie's arent small either though -

People are making them out to be strings coming out of their shorts. Blows my mind...

# 38 poloelite @ 07/25/13 02:12 PM

With Kyrie on Live and Lebron on 2k, safe to say 90% of Ohio will be buying Live regardless lol.

# 39 SageInfinite @ 07/25/13 02:17 PM

Graphics look really good. Animations are sick but I'm not giving them that credit until i see 5 on 5. Also I always see guys complaining about Live's players models legs/calves, now they try to make them bigger and people are saying they're huge, lol. Hey at least they tried.

# 40 Earl1963 @ 07/25/13 02:23 PM

If the game plays like that quick footage, that is amazing. That is the kind of movement I always wanted in sports. NCAA 14 on PS3 did quite well with fluid movements is the main reason I finally love that game.

Trailer = 10/10
