OK... I just watched this 6-7 times. I don't understand most of the negativity in here.
A couple of things that are AWESEOME:
1. Foot planting. Everyone has been complaining about foot sliding in 2k and there is NONE in this trailer. Great footwork.
2. Very quick dribbling moves. Sometimes the moves in 2k feel slowed down. These are incredibly quick. This will likely lead to a better 1v1 game.
3. Spacing looks better than 2k (in my opinion). In the Steve Nash pick and roll zoomed out shot you can see how much spacing there is on the floor. Very nice.
4. Signature jump shots looked good. I especially liked Tim Duncan's jumper.
5. I'm a Blazer fan - the Rose Garden looked sweet.
6. The player faces were spot on.
7. Arena lighting was excellent.
Stop the negativity people. Get pumped! We have two games to play in November!!!
Overall not bad. I get a live 10 sense from this which isn't a bad thing. Looks like dribbling will be a ton of fun. I guess impressions willal boil down to expectations and personal feelings towards live and 2k. I wasn't expecting this trailer to top 2ks but I think there is a promising future for this franchise. In the next year or two we should have a real competition on our hands.

Footplanting? Did you even see the sliding in the steve nash segment?
Terrible. Looks like Live 10 with higher res. They had very similar if not the same dribbling where if u held a trigger or sumthin, they would go thru the same type of canned hot dog dribbling motions and then almost everything else was non-organic and pretty much stiff except dunking.
Don't get me wrong cuz I loved Live 10 for what it was but that was a game that came out 4 yrs ago and there is no way this one should be so eerily similar when EA is touting all this new tech, altho too much on this Bouncetek stuff when they need a new animation engine, period.
You're supposed to stand straight up when breaking someone down the dribble, or playing defense. That's how it always works.
Smh like those are the only two stances to play basketball. Anyone whose played knows that isn't right. If you don't know how to play D or break down someone without standing straight up or playing hunchback then I don't know what to tell you. Maybe Live is targeted at people like you then.
Edit - after reading your last post, you come across as either an EA fanboy or a 2k *****. You're not being neutral because personally I think that even a neutral person could see the difference. It'd be nice to have two good nba games but Live has so much ground to make up its ridiculous. Looking at the way they've handled Madden, it's gonna be a long wait.
The positive here is that they have something to build on but this doesn't look next gen to me.....
The problem with the theory that they have something to build on is that ea is notorious for blowing up "foundations" and starting from scratch. For all we know nba live 15 could be running on a whole "new and improved" engine next year to embark on another 3 year plan.
My guess is that if this doesn't meet ea's sales expectations (which should be very low )this might be the last nba live game we see.
Alright, I'm going to raise the level of discussion in this thread.
We arent allowing people to make posts like this anymore:
"2K>LIVE"
"LIVE IS DEAD....LONG LIVE 2K"
If you are going to post in this forum or the 2k forum, you will have to support your statements. You will have to state why 2k is better than Live or vice versa. If you dont have the time to do that....dont post your comment.
Anybody who posts similar posts like those above will be immediately banned.

You seem to like, that's all that matters. If you liked Live 10, then I guess this is the game for you. There was always something about this game that just didn't do it for me. Most of what you listed is true, but none of it translate well together throughout gameplay (referring to past Live games). 4 years down, this game should move and look a hell of a lot better than this.
The video was a tad underwhelming, but for the first game they have released in 3 years with all of the turnover they've had, it doesn't look too bad. Granted, it would've been nice to see something completely different or at least close to those E3 clips. Graphics-wise it isn't even close, although many of the faces look great. Some other aspects of Live's art design are better as well.
The gameplay (from whatever we can gather from those spliced up clips) looks decent enough that it will be a solid foundation to build off of for the future. It's still Live, but I enjoyed EA's 2010 basketball offerings. If this game can provide a solid change of pace that isn't completely broken then I'll be willing to drop some cash down for this in the future (at a discount).
Just wondering because I've missed about 8 pages worth of posts, did they confirm real time physics to be coming back? Because if it is and it works well then Live will definitely have my attention.
