Re: Interview: NBA LIVE 13 Features Gameplay Never Seen Before In Basketball

Well after playing the demo again the other night... the animations werent anything to write home about at all... still too fast and too cartoony/unrealistic

But, to be fair, the quality of the animations and the engine are 2 separate things and I've said that for a while. I think the engine and what it's capable of is solid. Not as ground breaker as they would lead folks to be believe, but solid. The animations, however, in most of their games are - in my opinion - crappy. I don't like the football run cycles at all. The catches and tackles are awesome though. Hockey's skate animations are stiff. Not going to touch basketball. The soccer animations are the only ones that I can take but that may be because the camera is so far away, that you don't see the nuances that would make or break the illusion. But that's just my opinion.

Without proper context animations and many other things, it wont matter how solid the engine is

They just have so much work to do

Please stop with this garbage. People thinking you shouldn't talk bad about EA/Live is part of why they're in this mess right now. Everybody wants Live to be a success because two A+ basketball games is never ever a bad thing. However there is a difference between people showing their skepticism of a game that has done literally jack **** for about six or seven years now and hating/despising said game.

Maybe because we're NBA fans. Lets see. you arent talking about Live, the other game, or basketball in general. youre talking about another poster. Its clear you have RIF issues, I dont see a Mod thread here where we can post about mods.

Re: Interview: NBA LIVE 13 Features Gameplay Never Seen Before In Basketball

Well when we basically have no gameplay and main features of the game in question and all the talk is live sucks this live sucks that when their last game was over 2 years ago and Live 10 didnt suck....

Like I said in my first post, its A ok for 2k people to come here and rip us but its trolling if we do that over there.

Man how old are you... please get back on topic and off of me


You dont know more nor do you know anything about me

Take my suggestion and stay on the game and not other posters

Also dont take my post personally, as its not meant to feel insulting. I think too many posters on this forum are dense, or dont want to read between the lines. Its like they have to justify the faults of 2k to make this new Live seem like its cracked up to be when, poor showings and info on Live 13 is whats out there.
Too many postesr here are taking what the devs say without even questioning, examining the past, retracting post, acting in denial from vids of people that were at E3, etc.
This ANT animation has been around since Live 09, so I dont get why this dev team acting like its a new thing, it isnt. Neither is Synergy/Dynamic DNa whatever they wanna call it. Let alone theyre trying to knock 2k's faults, all the while not mention the spasticness of Elite, and their awful animations which was on par with NBA Unrivaled, a game they are salvaging from.
Its bad enough people are talking about EA having the tech to do this and that, yet the are already shortchanging the commentary back to 2 man, when Elite started with 3. If they have this tech, why not find another commentator, and redo the lines? The other game went with 3 man, no excuse to shortchange back to 2 now just so they can make it a billet point for next year claiming all new 3 man commentary etc..
Anyone else get that Elite feeling here? No info, silent... not a good marketing strategy in the least..

I just dont understand the hate on EA/live and need to 1up everyones post here... I guess your opinion is more important and I should know who you are.

Please find in any post i make, where I clearly state my opinion is more important then anyone elses... such a childish copout. that what little kids do when they dont have a good rebutal for debates sake... I know youre smarter than that.
You have confused hate/bash whatever you want to call it, for disappointment and frustration. Learn to distinguish the 2. Again going by Live/Elites past recent games, what should I be looking forward to? another 3 year project? spastic animation, half heaterd rules implemented in the game? You tell me.
nothing wrong with having hope for um, the 2nd 3yr plan, which will be 6 years.. but guys give poor excuses around here.. and settle for crap.
Ive read people have low expectations for this game..really?
Let me change the word game for any other thing youre planning to buy and see if youd settle.

Would you have low expectations for a car you want to buy, how about a house? I know this is a videogame, but standards should be a lot higher around here, especially when you are paying for it.

again, i can understand not expecting too much.. but the things fans have been wanting for years, and the devs turn around and give you what they think you want...

Not to be Nancy Nitpick, but they aren't even doing that because this isn't even the second or third three year plan we're on. This is I believe the fourth of this generation. That's pathetic. What's the saddest thing about it, is the same stuff. 'They know what's at stake.' 'They aren't saying much, they mean business.' All that kind of stuff, is the stuff guys on the fourms (not just these btw) were saying back during the lead up to Elite and let's not forget that lot that played the demo and even those that got their hands on the full version (paying ridiculous ebay prices mind you) and still tried to push THAT game as better than what 2K did that year and more FUN than what 2K was doing. Just sayin...

Please stop with this garbage. People thinking you shouldn't talk bad about EA/Live is part of why they're in this mess right now.

So WHY is that that we can't we point out all the faults in NBA 2K (basically a recycled game year in and year out) in their forum w/o being warned by a moderator???

What's the difference?

Also some of you just have to accept that there are people out there who actually enjoy NBA Live (and who enjoyed NBA Elite 11) w/o getting your panties all in a bunch. Opinions vary and just because YOU might think that Live is "garbage"....it doesn't make it FACT.

The SAME people who keep saying the SAME nonsense over and over again are the SAME people who are constantly posting and "trolling" the Live boards. If they game is truly that "bad" and if EA has no "clue" in their direction with the Live series.....then WHY the (bleep) are you here?

....other than to bash EA of course.

Weak.

And you wonder why you can't go into the 2K forum and talk trash? Outside of the show and maybe NHL or FIFA, there isn't a sports game on the market that makes the number of improvements as 2K basketball but you see it as basically a recycled game year after year?

This isn't the place for a 2K vs EA debate but there's a difference between people voicing skepticism to a game that absolutely deserves it because they've shown absolutely nothing this generation and trying to run into the 2K forums to troll there basically saying 2K isn't doing anything to improve year after year when they clearly are. I'd also like you to show me where you weren't allowed to talk about 2K's flaws in that forum. Have you actually looked over there at all? Didn't realize it was all sunshine and group handholding and singing over there.

Re: Interview: NBA LIVE 13 Features Gameplay Never Seen Before In Basketball

Its just a lot of EA hate period witch I understand but people don't look at it like this. Why is it so hard to give these new devs a chance? Obviously the Live team at EA Canada couldn't get it right witch caused the big wigs to cancel Elite and move it to Florida. Now a new team had to be assembled and in the feild they're in you just can't hire anybody cause it takes a lot of schooling to do what they do. Now because they are under the EA label these new devs get bashed for not working on the game for two years (someone please explain how is that possible). They get bashed for recycling stuff from previous Live's and the main goal is to get things working properly witch is very possible. If anybody think 2k don't use animations from previous 2k's you fooling yourself but the thing with 2k they actually work.

All in all people just need to relax and wait to see what they got befor they jump on here and complain about something we only heard them talk about and showed a pre alpha version at E3.

I'm happy that EA has finally figured out the team needed to be changed after 6 years of strait garbage and hopefully these new guys can get it right.
