They've used the word authentic for the past 8 years this generation. And each game they've released have never been near it. Madden, NCAA, FN series, or Live...not even the NHL.
Mainly because it's been plagued with poor art design around player body structures and animations on movements.
Like someone said above it's basically EA wording, I did a video about that recently about them making things sound good, only for it to produce bad.
And Sean is a cool guy and a family man...I know he's only doing what his job wants and
PR was probably all over his shoulder with clause restrictions from saying anything referring to the actually gameplay of the game that mattered.
No matter what questions we asked that would give us true insight on the title, the answer would have been skipped or ignored.
He did answer the question on the build, and with that said....no good!!!!
I was hoping he would have said that trailer was an old build from summer or something....But if that's final product..it makes me sad as a fan of NBA Live series, because I wanted more out of them.
I don't post anymore often, due to thread getting hijacked with the wrong post. But as a fan of their series. Seems like nothing has been done effort wise over the last 4 years.
(One more thing: The Comment about you have to play the game, yet there will be no demo.)
In other words buy it for $60 and if you hate it, trade it back for $25 at Gamestop....
Peace
