NBA Live 09 Features Video

[Steve_OS]

We've uploaded a new NBA Live 09 video direct from EA. This one gives you a brief glimpse at some of the new features you'll find in the game when it is released.

Yikes.....EA has alot of work to do based on that vid there. Looks to be more gimmicks rather than fixes to the engine that so many are crying out for. Animations overall look very herky jerky IMO still. Way to stiff for this iteration of the series at this point....

I thought this was a new video? It's been out for a couple weeks now. The animations definitely need to be smoothed out. I know this is just an early video, but I wonder how EA can have testers, the dev. team, and others playing this game on a daily basis, and the animations still not flow as well as they should. They are making improvements, but wonder what's the real problem behind the animation side?

This is certainly an old video. I wouldn't draw too many conclusions based on that.

And now we see why 2k doesn't put up early vids--part of the reason, anyway. This looks like a vid of last year's game. While I wish gamers were savvy enough not to overreact to early builds, people are just way too fanatical for that. I'll give Live an honest look when the demo drops. Last year's game was an improvement, but still had a ways to go.

The video is not TOO bad, but im still wondering how the animations continue to look jerky. This game has a year to polish up and yet it still can't get it done. Im not going to be TOO critical because its only June, but I expect alot better come this fall.
