They definitely need to do this. But I don't think they've said anything about MyCareer yet.

Absolutely stunned. This is what Madden and FIFA failed to deliver. I have a hard time telling what's real and what's a video game. EA still looks cartoonish.

That's what im hoping comes along with these eco-motion improvements. AI is the most important aspect to me personally when it comes to sports games. MyPlayer needs sliders even if they do improve the AI. I think we should be able to edit our teammates tendencies in some way.

Football's emotions is different then basketball. In football the emotions come from acrobatic catches, devastating hits, perfectly timed blocks, scrambling QB's ability to pin point pass on the run, RB's spinning out of the hands of defenders or stiffing arming them to the ground. All this stuff has been done before but the emotional part comes from the fluidity and natural look of it all and that's where Madden's biggest problems lye. Madden's jittery unnatural animations take you out of reality and reminds you it's just a game where as next gen NBA 2K14's animations are silky smooth and the transitional animations natural looking. Football"s emotions can not be expressed through facial animations because of helmets on the players but instead portrayed through the athleticism of the sport.

I agree but I still wouldn't mind seeing the QB put on his Dwight Howard face in the cut scenes after an interception. Shouldn't just ignore the faces because they wear helmets.

Imagine this look on a players face walking back to the sideline after a fumble. Even with his helmet on.

Ughhhh......so just so I'm clear. We've known about foot planting in Next Gen 2K for months, even though it's currently November 6th and 2K didn't even start TALKING ABOUT NEXT GEN 2K until AFTER current gen 2K came out, which was on October 1st? Are you and Flo time travelers? Can you give me the Mega Millions numbers for Friday please? Who's a solid bet to make on the World Series next year so I can put every dime I have on it? Does anyone ever actually make another college sports game at some point? We need to know these things.

Seriously though watch this whole video again, there talking about nothing but gameplay for basically the whole video. They talk about graphics for like 10 seconds then jump back into talking about gameplay yet people are claiming that's all the video's about because it's stands out so much. Lol I think for any of there gameplay related vids to really come across is for them to have no in game visuals because it's so distracting to some. This is a DIRECT quote from the vid:

Word we all interpret things differently I guess. My first thought when I was watching this was that is was just a buzzword for the facial expressions. Then the video explained it much better for me.

so much emotion "what am i doing in houston??" LMAO

# 290 midwestking100 @ 11/07/13 02:04 AM

Why are people so concerned about 2k's gameplay? I mean based off 2k track record their gameplay has always been pretty good. I think they are trying to leave it as a surprise. I think 2k knows what they are doing. There is no need to complain. I really can't wait for this game to come out so we all can go on with our lives.

I LOVE that expression. I hope this is his face after every missed free throw. Going to be bricking for fun.

Dude. The press event pretty much talked about everything. So no matter what they say, it'll sound repetitive. You guys KNOW that you won't see gameplay for a while. Why the constant pining for it? Why must folks high jack EVERY single thread on EVERY forum with the same complaint.

This is what happens with nitpicking everything; none of the game developers want to show anything at all because it'll be days of undressing a lot if hard work. You can't tell me you want to see gameplay just to marvel at it. Stuff like this is why you see no Madden, no Live, no 2k. Be lucky you see FIFA - they have little to fear. You'll see the Show because you don't have any other viable options. And don't say it's because they have something to hide. They all know nothing hides from the prying eyes of OS. They should all be gun shy by now regardless of the quality or status if their game.

It's just SO sad that a thread for such a well done and informative video devolves into yet another bitchfest. So tired of this. I avoid the Live forums because of this. Figured it'd be safe over here. Guess I was wrong.

this game sure is pretty!!! MY GOODNESS!!!!

Looks like the Rockets just lost to Miami because Dwight missed two game-tying free throws.

I wonder how well all this EcoMotion stuff works on Draft Classes...

True somebody told me there wasn't any sliders for my player even on the next gen if true that's just disappointment the tendencies better not suck then

if i make a player after Rondo/Rubio that loves to pass i want 3 point shooters in the corner i hate when i give it to novak for example and he acts like d wade slashing in ..makes me want to flip out

Lol you don't avoid any forums. C'mon.

And I've already dropped it. No need to continue. Never said anything wrong with this thread. Did I? I just voice my opinion, not fact. I expected more news, I got repetitive news. I wanted to see more. How the hell is that a bad thing to say? I hate it when members make it sound like its blasphemy to disagree with the majority of the thread just because I'm not googly eyed with visuals(which I already know will be AMAZING)I didn't Troll here. I just was hoping to see more because we are closer to release. That's it!

Enough of beating this dead horse. This is the last comment I'll make about this.

Not only that. I hate when I make a PG and I never get to play PG! They have to improve on the coaching decisions too AND let you lock in your position.

They either have to nail the AI perfect or put in sliders because most of the complaints about this game come from MyPlayer and Online. Where you cant adjust sliders.
