Re: NBA Live 14: Presentation Trailer

ESPN and Electronic Arts announced a 15-year integrated marketing agreement on Monday that will allow for all of EA's sports franchises to have access to the network's programming and personalities.

That was announced in 2005 and it didn't take place until 2006 ugh...

Someone needs to let the madden dev team know about this, cause apparently they were out of the loop when this email went out, smh

Re: NBA Live 14: Presentation Trailer

Presentation looks solid. Opening shot of arena, game intro music finally resembles (audio and visual) an NBA broadcast.

Side note: Warm up cut scene has smooth animation (as it should). Clearly the development team knows what smooth animations are, just not sure why it's not ultimately implemented during gameplay.

Are you sure that it's not just one entirely long animation? That's the impression I get anyway...

Do you mean:
A) one entirely long gameplay animation that's executable in game?
B) one entirely long cut scene animation?

I'm saying it's entirely a cut scene because that type of smoothness has never been seen in Live gameplay. Also take notice of the other players in the background. The smoothness is usually only apparent during EA cut scenes. Even with what little Live14 gameplay footage we've seen, Live14 seemingly will have the same classic EA robotic animation.

I went back to youtube and took a look at all prior Live releases. There's a quality to Live's animation that's a trademark to both LIVE and MADDEN's franchises ever since the PS3/XBOX360 era hit.

Re: NBA Live 14: Presentation Trailer

Its odd to want to see gameplay in a post called Live 14: Presentation trailer.



Of course everybody wants to see gameplay in general for this game

The fact is we all know the thing Live has always done right, and that is the only thing they have been showing, it is getting ridiculous at this point, that is what i meant.

Re: NBA Live 14: Presentation Trailer with ESPN

Is it me or when Jalen is doing pre game stuff he sounds off for some reason. Though the presentation does look nice but are they all gonna have them start doing layups?

The presentation graphics package along with the stadium shots looked wonderful and I know the crowd audio is gunna be sick because we all know how Live has had that down pat for the past few games but eek to those paddle hands in that vid. Why are those STILL in Live next gen??

Re: NBA Live 14: Presentation Trailer with ESPN

Presentation looks great. One thing that has always lacked from 2k's games is the presentation. It should look like you are watching a TV game when you play these games.

Now we can only hope for some good gameplay.

Re: NBA Live 14: Presentation Trailer with ESPN

Come on EA I figured they'd at least have a few clips of gameplay for Mike Breen and JVG.

I like where they are going with the presentation just thought that was odd to see. Guess ill see it in action once the demo drops for PS4.

It's not serious what EA does. Shame on them. Show us a game.

[ghettogeeksta]

I thought they were going to actually show them in the game court side and in the studio talking.

Ok, maybe I was imagining the paddle hands still being there. Went back and looked at the vid again with less scrutiny on those hands.

That said, this just could be a great foundation for EA to build on for next year. I need to see more as well as get my hands on the demo on Tues. PS4 is in transit!

I'll say this, nba live is the only game at ea sports that shows potential in next gen. Every other game is going down hill. Very nice implementation of espn and hopefully we can build on this in the coming years. Certainly not as perfect as 2K but it's definitely something to build off of and be as perfect as 2K

Re: NBA Live 14: Presentation Trailer

When is the exclusive ESPN license up for renewal? I'd be very interested in seeing if ESPN would go with a change and switch to 2K.
