Why NBA Live 18 is ahead of the curve in terms of realism.

So the NBA live 18 demo is out and i had a chance to play it for about 5 hours between the Xbox One and the PS4. This game pays close attention to on court realism. Creating space and space being respected seems to be the theme of this years NBA Live. I'm not going to keep you guys forever, So I'll leave some videos below explaining just a couple of great things I've noticed while playing for the past hours.

Good breakdowns, some good fundamentals playing out here as it should going right and left and making the defence anticipate, you reach i teach stuff look really good.

@Dione

After i play the game myself i can certainly see a lot better how those physical momentum really in the game and it shines like a cavalry on the battlefield. It's just beatiful and props to EA on that.

I love we are not constantly sucked into animations and playing defense feels amazing!!!

Real weight, real foot planting.

This is my basketball game this year hands down.

The hype is real.

Really liking the game and it will be my basketball purchase for the year. But I do feel like I get sucked into the animation as a ballhandler where the defender arm-bars you and you automatically take this rounded path forward moreso than I would like..

This game is ok. Defiantly not better than 2k. Slow *** jumpshots and driving to the rim is so easy.
