The bar was set.

And now it's raised.

I thought they were posturing awhile back when they mentioned defensive schemes.

If those work the way they should work...then wow. Game-changing.

teams will defend you different which is huge. I hope that it works like advertised.

For real, if this works as advertised, they might have just done something to convince me to at least rent this game and check it out. That is a DEEP selection of settings you get to choose from for each team and player.

This is the type of stuff defensive minded folks crave.

I am hoping the CPU will use these defensive tools.
That's one of my biggest gripes with 2k the CPU played the same no matter what team they were using.

Anyone notice how Dudley's and Redick's arms are just as ripped as Griffin's? Haha.

Sounds good, and dribbling looks good standing on spot with only one person on the court. But let's see how it looks/plays in real time 5 on 5. because that one 5 on 5 trailer the game didn't look that hot in motion.

I Love the Defensive Tools and Strategies looking good.. I Dont know about Gameplay yet but, im looking foward to buying Both Games for xbox one... Live to Play online and 2k for the MyGM...

I didn't see a whole lot of different animation dribble styles from player to player. I don't know who EA Sports is trying to kid...... They all looked like robots with plastic coating on their bodies. I'm trying to be positive about this game, but I just can't be at all. It doesn't look like it plays that good in the least. Maybe it'll be a little better than what I thought once it's released, but I highly doubt that.....

Looks good. I like the defensive controls more than the dribble controls.

Now we need to see some 5 on 5 gameplay.

Also, can we have a thread on here without mentioning the other game. It's start to derail the thread. Thx.

I really had a hard time reading about the defensive side of things after seeing that controls vid because all I kept thinking about is how much this game looks like Live 10 all over again - It bothers me!! I feel like EA is just repacking 10 and tryna pull the wool with this Bounce Tek jazz. Looks EXACTLY like Live 10 with how the players dribble and move. REALLY bothers me.

I do like the defensive options such as being able to force to baseline whetehr as a team or individually...but still can't get over the Live 10 similarities.

Good read and nice video. I was more interested in the video from 1:18 and on. Wanted to see how players move AFTER all the stationary dribbling. So far it looked good. Would love to see a full 5on5.

Definitely heading in the right direction, as long as the same smoothness remains while playing a real game.

Just like 2k14 GAMEPLAY OR BUST

Why would you want the same?

To add, the game should have gone gold by now so the game should completely finished by now so no more working on it by EA so where are the actual 5 on 5 vids? Definitely trying to hide the game from the consumer because they know they're gunna catch hell and they're trying wait as long as possible to show the actual gameplay thinking they can minimize sales loss. Smh.

lol me either. I can't get excited about this game at all. Adding on all these subtle little features isn't going to sway our attention away enough from the fact that it's basically the same game we saw back in Live 10. You people can all yell at me and tell me it's not the same game. I'm fine with that actually. It still won't change how I and probably many others feel about this game. I really don't think it will sell well. I really think EA Sports will step down and give 2K the exclusive license. That's my true belief. Maybe I'm wrong and honestly I hope I am, but if they don't do something drastic within the next year, EA Sports is in big trouble.

Your buggin. We all want to see the proof in the pudding if it's wack or not. But yeah- the same? Cmon guy. Those dribbles were all unique.

Not at all bud. Didn't see much of a difference. Maybe it's just me, but I just couldn't see it. I saw maybe a slight difference, but not much at all. That's awesome if you can see the major differences. Honestly, maybe me not liking this game is clouding my judgement with how it looks and plays, but yeah...... not for me. I don't think I'll play NBA Live until 2 or 3 years from now, if it even makes it that far.
