The dribbling looks official!
The best part about it is it's NBA Live, so I know the control I have over those moves is gonna be on point. Did you see the way Brandon Jennings had Michael Carter-Williams knees buckling. I really like the way the game looks, and I can already see myself having fun online with it.
The Physicality in the post looked great too.
Kobe went at Wesley Matthews and he took the bump, it seems like there's some real time physics going on, and that's a positive for the post game in general. You could even hear the grunt when he bumped him
The Variety in the dribbling looks good
When Damian Lillard started dribbling I just started smiling, I am going to be breaking some ankles online. Off the iso, off the pick and roll, on the fast break, I just really see myself enjoying this game. Once again I think it's the control that excites me. Not in a cheesy way either, but using the control of the dribbling to my advantage.
The Graphics aren't bad but it is very Live like
I don't think that's a bad thing, I mean graphics can always improve, but the players definitely looked like themselves, it just isn't the giant leap you expect from next gen but it doesn't take away from the game in my opinion.
The potential is there, and this is a great base.
Live already said they know they aren't going to come out and overthrow 2k this year, and I think the while world knows that, but they are placing the right pieces. They have so much to build off, and it's nice because the game is not all animation driven but there's a realness to it. Seeing players stumble, and feet shuffling is cool and something that can only improve.
I think this game has amazing potential, mostly because it's not all just good looking animations but more user control. Which means to me stick skills are very important. Something essential when playing online.
I like what I see honestly, it's encouraging.
