I can tell who played Live and who just played the demo. Live gives the player freedom, like one of these editors wrongfully accused the game of players just stand around. No they have a an auto motion setting that's off by default. For those talking animations, just stick to 2k because the animations will never be right without pre-determined two man animations (Mike Wang magic)

Spoiler

Priceless

Until then everyone will be careful with the early info they put out to not be tricked again.

They both have to gain back trust from the community, so honestly that point doesn't even mean anything at this point in time.

live updates before madden this early?

Yet another gimmick. We all know it'll look nothing like that, but as usual EA got people talking. A+ for the marketing crew.

Not falling for that. Sorry. They can show me screen shots until the end of time. I will assume it's all lies until the game actually comes out. Not catching me with that bait and switch again.

I know both have to earn trust from the community, but Live has more of a tainted rep. Everyone who has been following the two games these past few years know's that Live has more work cut out for them then the other game. You can see that with the majority of comments from this thread, youtube, and video game review sites. I just wanted to make a point to the poster who is not looking in the mirror.

How about everyone take a step back, take a breath, and realize that it's April 14. The current season is not even complete, nor are we in the playoffs. One of the heaviest criticisms over the past year is that the game did not look next gen. That in and of itself deterred a lot of people from picking it up this early in their "next gen" consoles life. They want to experience "next gen graphics". What does EA do? They want to show you that they are working on the players, with the scans that they've been taking all year.

Do they have to give any insight on what's going on with Live 15 this early? Nope. It's a gesture of goodwill to show that they are utilizing these scans, and working towards fixing that gripe.

For those of you crying for gameplay and animation... I hate to tell you, but we're a LONG way off from seeing anything like that. I can't recall the last time that a basketball game gave an updated look at the next title this early in the process.

Enjoy it for what it is. For naysayers, no worries, wait until a little closer to release and make a decision. I'm sure they'll have quite a bit to show this year a little later in the cycle. They can't afford not to at this point.

Let's keep this on the screens that are released, the scan technology, etc. Let's not turn this into a bash EA, bash 2k, 2k is better, Live is Crap, 2k is nothing but animations, Live gives you freedom junk argument. Look at the screens, discuss what you like/dislike and move on. Healthy conversations, not bashing one title or another.

Again, it's April. Sometimes we get a hint of information in early June. I'm appreciative of anything, especially when it shows an improvement over what's in the works to fix one of the first major complaints of gamers.

And again, art and gameplay are two separate teams. Don't say "they need to spend their time working on gameplay". Two TOTALLY separate teams.

Great post WTF!!!

I think all next gen games should look next gen. So I am excited for what all these face scans mean for live next year. I am hopeful that the player models also receive some work along with animation.
