Yes it might look better, but I promise you that the gameplay will still be as crappy as ever. That is why they won't show any real gameplay footage. If you go to the ea sports website: http://www.easports.com/nba-live/new...e3-open-letter , and read that letter, you will see their main focus this year was scanning to get better graphics. That's mainly it. And they bearly mention gameplay improvements. They just skim over it a little bit. My guess it will play a hell of a lot like NBA Live 14 and that's not a good thing. But it will just look like a next-gen game this time. That's pretty much what we can expect. Come on guys stop being so brainwashed.... it's so obvious what they are doing!!!!!!!!

That letter is one of many. Read the rest of them, where they talk about gameplay being the focus. The art guys and the gameplay guys don't work on the same things. I can guarantee you that the gameplay guys didn't sit around and twiddle their thumbs, looking at the strides that the art guys were making.

I'll also guarantee that it won't play like Live 14. The team that they have in place will make the right advancements in the right areas. It won't be as "crappy" as ever.

Hopefully a trailer will drop soon, so it'll at least put that argument to bed.

I wonder if the EA will release a one time trial full game but limited time . Or a limited demo we can play everyday til release .

I've always loved Live as far as the detail in the jerseys, accessories, and sneakers. The screen looks good, but it kind of reminds me of some of their previous games as far as the player looking "ashy" like in Live 07 and 08. Hopefully it will look better on everyone's tv.

I truly want NBA Live to just do as they promised which is to get the core game play intact and upgrade their visuals. 2k is a great game but when the game releases and all the hype is gone, the game ends up feeling boring because it's the same game with little adjustments. But that's what makes their product good in everyone's eyes because the game is solid.

NBA Live just needs to be good but not great since they're in the 2 year of their 3 year plan. Alternatives to anything in life make ones experience a lot better and if their gameplay provides something remotely playable, I'm sold. As for their lack of in game footage, I think their just playing chess with 2k and having them release their major information so that the hype dies down then they show off their gameplay. They know they won't be competiting with 2k so why show off everything early and then get killed by the trailer we seen yesterday Lol. Once all the hype dies down, footage will come but just in the right moment.

Looking at the reception that Lillard trailer received, I'd say that people are more optimistic this year than last year. Of course you have your die hard fanboys, but it seems the public actually has hope in Live as long as the gameplay is there. O'Brien said they mainly focused on graphics and gameplay this year. Also, Lillard said the gameplay is much smoother. The MMGN article said it's much better, but obviously not close to 2K just yet. Oct 7th please hurry!!

I expect now that Madden has officially been released the flood gates of info will open soon for Live.
