Is there a higher quality video out there anywhere?

The video definitely had some nice spots in it. The shooting looked like their actual counterparts, especially Melo & Duncan. Dribbling was pretty good too. I'm still kind of disappointed that the moves still seem like a bunch of animations, it seems not as fluid as it could be as far as movement. Defense is entirely too stiff. Big example is when Rose goes by the defender & he's still standing in his stance. Then the defense didn't react that well to Nash's floater. EA still has work to do, but it doesn't look bad.

Take off the EA fanboy glasses. It's really not close.

I watched the trailer and the first thought that came to mind was this Jay Z line: "A gun in your face and that's all you can come up with?"

Sigh all hope in EA sports in the realm of basketball and football is almost completely gone now.
Bring back NFL 2K please.

This game is a complete disgrace to basketball fans. How can people damage control this? You can tell from the trailer that BounceTek is SUPER overpowered. The point guards just blow right by the defenders. At the 0:29 clip, look at Stephon Curry's feet. What is he doing?!!??! In this man tap dancing??!!. Just look at the defenders feet while the ballhandler is dribbling. They are all flat footed, hunched over, tall and slender, and ice skating. The NBA is not going to be pleased after they watch the Youtube trailer. The video has more dislikes than likes. I was extremely hyped for this game, but I just canceled the pre-order. This looks more like an arcady type of game you just mess around with your friends. Someone posted that if Lives gameplay isn't 1000% this is going to be bad for EA. This video just ruined my Friday.

Stiff animations... Current gen graphics... Pretty much looks like a current gen game in every way possible.

I'll pass

Will buy when it's $19.99.

NBA 2K14 next-gen trailer blew me away. Didn't have that feeling after watching the NBA Live 14 trailer. Nothing about it looks next gen. Live 14 looks like a current gen game, whereas 2K14 really looks next gen. It looks ok, but as of right now, 2K14 has it beat by a mile.

was holding some hope, but after seeing the other game trailer and now this, I will completely have to pass.

In my opinion, it looks good, this looks like Live, moments like the Nash part looked bad, but overall, if the gameplay is good enough I'm not afraid to add $60.

Y'all keep complaining that it looks like Live 10, but no complaints that 2k14 looks like 2k10. Whatever, I prefer Live.

There's some serious viral marketing in this thread right now...

I'm not as in to the basketball games as I am the football games but, 2k's trailer was much better. For me 2k has been much more realistic as far as gameplay in this current gen. Lives gameplay looks much like the 2010 version in this trailer. I thought about getting both but, as of now I'm not spending my money on Live. Nash doesn't even look like Nash. lol If you like it and buy fine, I'm 99% sure I won't be.

Some actual 5-on-5, I guess.

But graphically it's not anywhere close to what NBA 2K is doing.

I'm trying to figure out what EA is using the extra power to do. Is it signature skills? AI? Synergy-related information?

If 2K shows a deep feature list and new gameplay (and early reports seem to indicate they will) then I can't understand what EA is doing with the extra horsepower in the new systems.

It's not on player models, that's for sure. And while the models aren't hideous to me, they just aren't life-like.

Again, I have no problem if a game released it's models cell-shaded and still played an awesome 5-on-5.

I will wait and see if Live can deliver in that regard. But, right now, it looks like a more detailed current gen. Which is exactly the same for Madden and FIFA. That's disappointing.

CG 2K14, yes (we were actually complaining on that.) NG, no. Just no.

This will be a download for me. If 2k actually promises that it's not a port from current gen then I'll be getting 2k.

I'm sick and tired of both of these companies acting like cowards by not showing playable gameplay angles. It is a direct slap in the face. These people have to SELL their games to us. There are no demos. Zoom in on most stuff with consoles this powerful and it will look good. That being said...

This game animates exactly like Live 2009. I don't know why people keep pointing to Live 10 but the hitch on the jump shots is clearly 2009 animations.

And it is so obvious that rocket dunks are back. Just look at Derrick Rose's gather and then he just launches up to the rim. You can also see it on Terrance Ross' dunk and Dwyane Wade's dunk.

Something more concerning is I get a feeling that EA is trying to hide something. There were only 2 playable angles to see. One was the Nash P&R which we already saw. The second was Knicks ball vs. the Cavs. If you look there is someone on the Knicks curling around the 3 point line before Melo receives the ball. I think it's Felton. Well dude is moving at lightning speed.

Forget Ignite. KDRE pointed it out...that old ANT is really messing things up for them. They need to scrap it ASAP. Things aren't smooth at all. As nice as DWill's size up looked (best part of the trailer IMO), something about it is just off.

I don't know. Watch Dogs, Drive Club. Madden looks like crap. 2K is hesitant to drop gameplay. This is really underwhelming when I thought I'd be pumped for next gen.

But this trailer makes it look like Live 10 never came out. It looks like a next gen version of Live 2009 with better dribbling and an updated soundtrack and that is sad.
