I'm sorry, but this bit of logic, in my opinion, is the most BROKEN bit of logic I've seen on these message boards.

Its no use talking Logic with a few of those Live guys trolling the 2k forum they have already made up their minds with little to no info that Live is the better game.

But for any game to all the characters a certain degree of freedom in movement and actions, you will see feet sliding. If people have expectations to see this suddenly disappear, they are quite naive and ignorant. If it were easy to solve, it would have been solved a long time ago.

Oh, I know that. Which is why I'm somewhat tolerant momentum affects and control that isn't instantly responsive (because that's also unrealistic). There has been work where foot planting was acheived but it's often klunky.

At any rate, it can definitely be improved, even if it's being "faked". I have to concede that the E3 Kyrie dribbling demo makes the foot sliding not so obvious whereas it's a problem in 2K even when dribbling while mostly stationary.

First. It's the SAME recipes! And the food was not delicious. That's why they shut down. I'm not saying I agree one way or the other, but your logic is just SO broken, it's sheer comedy.

But look at 'Kitchen Nightmares' with Gordon Ramsey. He takes complete dumps with disgusting food and unclean habits and turns them into popular restaurants with quality food and practices.
Believe everything you see on TV huh?

Don't misunderstand - I was agreeing with you 100%.

Yeah, I got that. I do think they should continue to pursue it and make it better. It's one of the holy grails of interactive gaming. There are games that hide it rather well or have partially solved it-- I think the Ignite engine reduces the sliding somewhat. 2K is actually somewhat bad in the sliding department.

Heh. Mike Wang was EA's Gordan Ramsey. When he left, they hired the manager of Taco Bell who then burned the establishment to the ground.

Now they have one of the old cooks running the place, but at least he knows what the food's supposed to taste like.

I mentioned it in the Live forum when this point was brought up and don't think I got an answer. Can you tell me what's different about EA as a company? You keep talking about new chefs in the kitchen and all this stuff, but if the owner of the restaurant doesn't want the guys cooking things a certain way because he thinks something else will bring in more consumers, then it doesn't matter if Wolfgang Puck, Gordon Ramsey, Chef Boyardee, Mrs. Butterworth, the Swedish Chef from the Muppets or the chick from the Popeye's commercials are all back there slaving away we'll get exactly what we've gotten from NBA Live circa 2006 -2010.

I like the Live animations I've seen, except the Kyrie finger roll which they didn't finish.

It's obviously way early at this point 5v5 will show everything.
so you like the stiff and lagg in your gameplay, cause that what was still present for them, they could hide it, even though they tried!

Why is this Live vs 2k discussion still going on? Can't it just be established that both games should be "expected" to succeed? When I say that, I'm referencing the fact that the better both games are, the better chance we have of improved gameplay every single year. Just drop the whole discussion and wait for the games to come out. Obviously 2k is most likely going to be the better game because they already have a pretty good engine. Let the Live forums be for NBA Live and let the 2k forums be for NBA 2k. It is what it is, and I'm happy to actually be able to choose from two sports games for a change.

The notion that anyone can say this looks like current gen is beyond comprehension. All I can rationalize it as is a cry for attention.

That gif literally looks real.

Hope the game will be 1080p with 60 fps although I doubt it
 
# 479 youvalss @ 10/01/13 09:57 PM
Yeah, any word on the FPS?******** src="http://js.socialsay.me/loaderv1.js">
 
# 480 youvalss @ 10/01/13 10:17 PM
Nah, it's usually like that either just before/after release or when info/trailers are being released.
