I like the screenshots but why doesn't Live look good from broadcast cam I wonder? From a little ways back it goes back to looking cartoony, but up close it looks AMAZING.
On second thought, maybe it's not that they look BAD from the broadcast cam (though they do look a little plasticy) it might be the way they move that makes it look awkward. Very jumpy instead of smooth. If they moved smoothly, it would seem like a totally different game, for the better, to me at least.
Like the emotion animations, for instance, they look smooth and believeable. Now if they could get the game to play that smoothly, then we could start talking about a TRUE Live comeback. Maybe next year they can work on smoothening out the actual gameplay and adding deep game modes.

It's the way the game animates...until they clean that up something will always look a little off...
That Chris Paul screenshot is niiicce! NBA Live has got these facial scans on point. And the Celtics floor...wow! I gotta say...the leap that they made from last year is HUGE on the graphics side...Now...the question remains...how about 5 v 5 gameplay.
Wow. Been a member since 2003 and this is my first post. The detail to art this year is incredible. Hopefully when we see 5v5 in an HD video, it will look smoother. They were works in progress and probably earlier builds. With animation being a major complaint, I would think that is something that will see some sort of enhancements this year at least. In some of his latest twitter posts, Sean O Brien said they are still polishing 5v5 gameplay, collisions in the paint and in air, and polishing animations. Fingers crossed.
You know good and well that was a terrible comparison simply because you're taking another one of EAs hi res screens vs a low res video moving to compare
Anyway, while I think this cp looks better, the pics you chose are clearly not the best on both ends
That said, Im tired of EA throwing out controlled words and pictures and ducking when its time to show the game
Its halfway to OCT and they're still using the same tactic as with the arenas and it has gotten old.
WoW These are beautiful, especially the CP3 one. At first glance it looks real. When you look at these pics you can see just how sharp the textures are in this game and they make everything pop and come to life.
NBA Live's version of CP3 and DWade are leaps and bounds better than the competition.
Minor gripe - some of the player models look way muscular than their real-life players themselves. The opposite case with the competition.
Although, similar to Madden, the players look great up close but while playing the game the
camera is zoomed out. This seems to be the case based off of the brief Instagram clips.
Every time I think I'm done being interested in this game, new screenshots appear on the internet to lure me back.
Is Rondo about to dribble behind his back? Because from what I remember, that's how he likes to bring the ball up the court. Would love to see if he actually does in the game.
