Fernando, wouldn't it be better if you created a specific thread about it? It'd be clearer to participate and not get lost in this thread about the trailer.

You're correct as usual, Ermoli.

I'll start up a thread in the Live forums.

What I mean is I know it's not going to be as good as 2k15. I want NBA live to be the best it can be but we need to realistic expectations at this point of what nba live can deliver after last years game. As long as it's a solid competitive basketball this year I will be happy. Hopefully EA can keep building off this and some time down the road we can have an actual debate of what game is truly better.

I'm glad to see Franchise get brought up. I haven't heard anything about it, and it is the only mode I play. Is there even one?

I think he means rookie scouting as in scouting reports from your scout Skill training can be like Madden in that you have practice that earns you XP and skills can then be upgraded per player. You can also earn xp based on game performance

I personally would like to see draft immersion like madden like draft stories on key players you could have J rose read them or something...but if you do this it has to be random draft classes or people will make draft guides

gameplay looks good from what I've seen you just need to build substance with Association mode don't focus on bringing it online just yet build a solid mode first please

I am not one to purchase two different games. I want the overall best product out there. Right now that's 2K. I think Live will trump 2K in the sound and arena department, shoe game and online. Maybe even control. I'd still give 2K the edge graphically, but I understand how others would give that to Live this year. It's really close and comes down to preferance. Features, game modes and gameplay will continue to be 2Ks wheelhouse.

The problem with words like 'yawn', 'vieled', 'dead in the water' and so on, is you are once again looking like a biased bunch of immature kids writing this site.

It's clear the connections with 2K and their staff go back quite a bit, but for you to honestly welcome EA devs to this board and expect them to take you seriously is laughable.

Spend a few minutes browsing the bball headlines for all of your recent stories and the tone is very obvious. You may certainly criticise 2K in articles, but never so damning in article headlines like you do EA.

Again, if I was an NBA Live dev, seeing writers for a site even have the nerve to 'yawn' and pronounce my game 'dead in the water', I wouldn't give them a second of my time in a future interview or insight through forum posts.

OS used to seen as a professional website with unbiased opinions, conveyed in a mature, sensible manner. But now we just get trolling from the writers, plain and visible bias and quite frankly, judging from what was written about Live 14, not a lot of videogame knowledge.

Preach brother preach.

This place has changed. Users are the biggest change in the last few years.

You forgot "dumpster fire"

# 30 youvalss @ 09/03/14 07:50 PM

I think what made it such a good trailer (nice editing and music, but that's not the thing) was the simple fact that the graphics are A LOT better than the previous year's. If they released Live 2005 in 2007, and then Live 2009 in 2008 (like they did), the first Live 09 trailer would have looked AMAZING! - For the same reason.

I'm still not sure about some animations/transitions...it remains to be seen.

# 31 dakidjr23 @ 09/03/14 08:22 PM

idk i put alot of stock in them last year!! and we all know how that turned out!!! i would have to see actually gameplay

Well we know you don't try to deny yours.

It's just amazing how you love to point out some bias but can't see yourself standing in the same crowd with them.

And once again another obvious post. It's gotten real old seeing you do this stuff

# 34 Gramps91 @ 09/03/14 10:07 PM

I wish they would focus some more on dynasty. The game play did need improving though.

# 35 Mauer4MVP @ 09/03/14 10:08 PM

Graphics look good. Those animations were horrible. I'll be sticking with 2k.

# 36 King_B_Mack @ 09/03/14 10:10 PM

Why are we back to putting OS on trial? Operation Sports wasn't the ones releasing trash in a box from 2006 thru 2009 and then failing to release anything at all from 2011 thru 2013. The only thing that's gotten old or worse about this site is the number of people that try to take the focus off the real issues at hand with this franchise by focusing on everybody and everything but the people that have been gladly ignoring them and taking their 60 bucks for as long as they could get away with that business model.

dont forget your post history is here for the world to see You clearly are biased so dont stick your chest out to much !

Be a basketball fan not give blind loyalty to either company.

# 39 The 24th Letter @ 09/03/14 10:54 PM

I'm embarrassed for the users that even "liked" that post TBH...thought we were better than that...the praise since the trailer dropped has been overwhelmingly positive, even from guys that have heavily criticized the game and series....and guys want to focus on a few perceived negative comments...

Your worried about the fortitude on the board... How about focusing on the great trailer Live just dropped instead of comparing it with 2k every other post and worrying about "haters"....it starts with the community...can't complain about it if your contributing to what's dragging it down....

# 40 King_B_Mack @ 09/03/14 11:01 PM

BTW, why the hell is a dude that just joined the site in the last two days or so talking about what OS "used" to be? Uhhhh huh.....
