I wouldn't take time away from my family and life to go be a yes man, and the same for most others. There are some, but far and away, most are far from it.



At the end of the day, the criticisms far outweigh the praises when we go down by 3:1. It's the only way for this series to find it's footing.


You the man. It does not go unnoticed.

Can anyone confirm if hustle plays (diving on the floor/ 0ut of bounds for loose balls) are manually done?

Early build? They have less than 3 months to work on the game, and it's a 2-year cycle. Unless this is June 2016, this can't be an early build. And if that's an early build, then we're looking at Live 19.

With that said, I definitely see an improvement, and it just shows you why they needed a 2-year development cycle. There are still some weird animations, but you don't see it constantly and the contact animations look good. Still need to see a longer 5vs5 gameplay video. Just need to realize that some of these animations and movement may never go away...

Is it confirmed that Live 18 won't be using Frostbite? If so, I wish they used the new engine for 18, because it's hard to tell if there will be a smooth transformation to a new engine, and a 2-year development cycle sounds like the perfect timing to make it happen. They had a new engine in 14, and needed 2 more years to make it look decent. Hopefully, with other titles already using it, it'll be easier for them to make the transformation smooth and not make Live 19 a WIP title (let's face it, Live 14 was a WIP title).
