Thank you!!!! At least someone seems to have a brain in this thread....

However I can see the base foundation and it looks much improved to me and has me remaining optimistic, especially in comparison to anything post Live 10...

You misspelled Hell...

I was hoping to see some BounceTek against a computer defender. Maybe an example of how it can be used to actually break down a defender...? Hard to judge these games on videos of others playing. The proof will be in the pudding. I'll play them both.

Nothing wrong with playing them both, but you would be a fool to lay out the same investment... Seriously, if 2k goes for $60 then live is worth about $25 - $30 tops.

For the people that are up in arms regarding the graphics, there is a simple solution...DONT BUY IT.

I also wonder if people that are THIS critical of a game that their not going to buy, are this critical of a game that they do purchase?

Again if you were expecting anything more than what you see here, then your expectations were waaaaaaay off.

To me it's not about expectations, it's about them putting out a respectable next gen product and this definitely aint it. Come on man be serious this looks bad and it's not just because of the graphics.

I'm stumped as to how people say they saw good spacing in this. Are you serious?

And we are going down the "3 years development is necessary. Work in progress" rabbit hole again?

I see where you're coming from, but I'm not sure I agree. Yes, 2k looks amazing. Won't argue that. And if that is the dominant selling point, I also agree that Live is worth a fraction of the purchase price of 2k. But, I would rather have a game that looks like Live if it plays better and has more staying power than 2k.

As a consumer, I'm tired of the 2k cycle I personally experience every year. My (and probably some others') response to 2k is approximately this... Day 1: this is SO AWESOME!!! I've been so hyped for months!!! It looks so great!!! So much better than 2k(last year)!!! I love playing with the new rookies!! Day 30: *&#^, the cheese is still in!! When will they update xxx and yyy!?! Game feature zzz is broken and doesn't work (after spending hours in that game mode). Online is broken!! By that point I find the game to be more frustrating than enjoying. I'm just ready for something new. That's just me... I understand others will probably differ.

BUT, Live might be a decent enough game to break that routine. Fingers crossed. I'll put 60 bucks on Live.
