You can already tell this is gonna be a offense heavy arcade style game. Also im tired of hearing the word potential and ea in the same sentence. After seeing the teasers for this and madden 25 and actually seeing next-gen gameplay im done. No excuse for being so mediocre anymore. We all know that Ea could go further with their games but won't either because of laziness or maybe the just dont have the talent i dunno what their issue is but the underachieving has gotten old.

Very underwhelming trailer. I mentioned before, I don't like the way Live's trailers are edited. It has no flavor. You can tell from the way the trailer is cut up that they were trying to hide the herky jerky animations. The transitional animations from dribbling to shots are still really poor and not smooth. Also I don't like the net physics. I can already tell what 5 on 5 gameplay is going to look like.
In regards to the dribbling or "Bounce tek", I think that the stand still dribbling is done very well. However, I don't like the way the explosions look (ex. derrick rose).
The player models are not my cup of tea. Players that are suppose to be standing straight up knees are bent and backs are hunched over. It just looks bad. There is also alot of herky jerky movements from the defense. Overall I never liked live's graphics current gen. They went from looking ashy to looking like a plastic cartoon character. It seems like that plastic look has made it's way to next gen.
Bottomline is that this game doesn't look Next Gen. It looks like a current gen game with a "very small" graphical upgrade.

Not bad.... Saw some good things there, but it didn't give me that wow feeling like 2k did. But considering the state of nba live was a year ago, I would say good job.
In all honesty it prob will be a good product.

All companies want to make money, the gaming industry isn't a charity. However it's silly to assume these people don't want to put forth a good product, and that they're not passionate about their work. That goes for both EA and 2K. I just think EA as a publisher is more inclined to sacrifice quality for financial gain.
As for these trailers all I can comment on is graphics. Live is about what I expected in a next gen sports game (much better than what we've seen from FIFA and Madden). The 2K trailer blew me away though and really pushed things further. Their 3D models, most apparant in the player faces, have a much higher polygon count than the Live counterparts. Judging by the eye-test it looks like we're seeing the highest polygon count ever in a console game. They've also done an incredible job in the texture department - all different materials are properly represented in a very lifelike way. While I liked Live's stand-still dribble animations, movement on the whole just isn't as fluid as in 2K. I believe Live's actually going to look alot better in real-time, slow-motion really shows off the clunkiness of the animations. 2K's animations are silky smooth even in slow motion - again, much more detail. 2K also sports superior lighting and true to life color, whereas Live is over-saturated and too bright.
So, in terms of graphics, 2K does to Live what LeBron would do to Kyrie. Judging by history there's reason to expect 2K to come out on top in gameplay aswell. That said, I love the fact that Live is back and that we've got competition in basketball gaming again. I have to wonder at the possibilities of the Ignite engine though - so far it doesn't look promising and I don't know that it would ever be capable of competing with the engine 2K is running on.

You know , I went back and looked at the trailer again. And it might not be visually up to par with 2k , but they definitely nailed the shooting form and animations. Duncan, Carmello and Kobe were spot on. What impressed me the most was Danny Greene jump shot. At first viewing you cannot tell its him by how fast the screen is moving, but I could tell by his shooting form it was him.
I would give EA a solid B so far.

Do we have any news regarding the existence of demos of the launch games?
I just can't get into it. I never thought I was a visuals guy but the competition just makes this hard to enjoy. I'm with the group that thinks the animations are stiff.
The only saving grace would be absolutely phenomenal game play, a deep franchise mode or possibly an awesome online franchise/league mode, and a great sim engine...and a few other things.
The bar has been set so high and I can't view this game in a vaccuum.

Unfortunately with EA it's not silly to assume they don't have a passion for what they are doing. You can hear it when current devs talk about their games and always comment about how relieved they are that they are done with it. It's also evident in the Tuner system that they integrated into their games. They did that to perfect products after they release them. Care to take a guess how many tuners have been released for Madden since they introduced that concept. Once the game is pressed 99 out of 100 times thats the last you hear from EA. We get two generic patches that fix mostly problems they knew about before launch and then they basically wash their hands of the year and move on. EA just seems to numb really creative and productive people after a year or so of what sounds like them beating their heads against the wall begging for change.
It's like my Bengals use to be. The best players were rookies because they didn't know any better. A year or two in the system they became Bengalized and started playing like all the other cast offs on the roster.
What you don't have to assume is how they feel coming out the door at the end after trying to work at EA. Just take a look at some of the opinions from developers coming out the door, some let go some quit. All have similar thoughts coming out.
I really liked the dribbling, and graphics were...ok...not great but OK.
My problem is that this is a "hype" trailer, it's supposed to make us all go "Wow, did you see that?!"... and at least for me it didn't do it. It was just like watching any other trailer from a current-gen game that doesn't really make me excited.
