First Glimpse of NBA Live 15

[grodbetatted]

Soooo back to the actual screen shots, not gameplay, not animations, not 2k is better, not live is crap, but THE ACTUAL SCREEN SHOTS... If that is how Kyrie will look in game, the skin texture is amazing, I can only imagine how much details the courts will have. Let's stay on topic people please and thank you.

Re: First Glimpse of NBA Live 15

What part of that says you have to promise things that don't happen?

Those "promises" are part of the business/marketing plan!! BounceTek, part of the marketing plan, even though you don't notice it during the game lol. That's just how it works.

These companies can't promote just game play, and say, this is our game play. They don't work like that, they always need a selling/focal point. They only focus on the features because they believe that will draw them in over the game play, not realizing that with sports games, the first thing most care about is game play

Re: First Glimpse of NBA Live 15

From someone that works in the marketing industry this is what we call "saving face" pardon the pun since the big image we are all looking at is Kyree's face. Let's stop for a minute and do some real critical thinking here...

Had Live 14 been a good game and did not get the avalanche of negative press, feedback, blacklash, etc do you think we would be having a conversation right here right now about this article? Nope because this article wouldn't have existed. EA Sports is doing damage control. I'm by no means saying what they gave us to write an article about is false. I believe what they leaked out for us to see is something we will see somewhere in Live 15. I'm just not sure "where". This could be the cover of the box art.. this could be the makings of their "pre-rendered CGI commercial", or this could be gameplay. Right now we just don't know. What I do know however is their track record and how they use marketing to pull the wool over lesser thinking people's eyes. Again, remember all the posts about Madden 06's commerical? OMG! NEXT GEN! LOOK AT THE GAMEPLAY!... some of us knew better. We knew the difference between what you can do with pre prendered CGI and what you can do with the actual game itself... Madden 06 the game looked far different than Madden 06 the commerical.

So lets back up and talk more about why release this bit of info now? EA Sports Live Team is like the dude who's been neglecting his G/F and only when she truly threatens to break up does he show up with roses and candy. Nice gesture, but you're only doing it to "save face".. again, pardon the pun.

EA Sports knows they have little to no credibility with the sports gaming community today, but just like a good politician, they're banking on some of the sheep out there to cheer and applaud them for the things they have been posting "look guys! we are face capping people for live 14, even though we shoulda did all the before we put the game out and charged you 59.99 for it!".... "ummm..okay well we can see this isn't going to be enough.. hey lookie over here! look at how realistic Kyrie looks! Please start thinking this is going into the gameplay of Live 15! Please sheep, we need you to preach and get the word out ahead of time!".

Notice I've not said one thing about 2k up to the point because well, wether Live makes good game or not has nothing to do with whatever 2k is doing. 2k Can go do whatever they feel like they need to do for 15... we are here talking about NBA Lie.. ummm I mean NBA Live. Right now all I'm looking at when I see those released images of face captures is damage control. Right now, that's all it is until months pass and we really start to see enough to where we can make educated guesses on what's to come of Live 15. Right now, this is a jpeg, of a render of Kyries face..thats all.. nothing more, nothing less. Again.. might just be on the cover of the box this year. Who knows at this point.

Re: First Glimpse of NBA Live 15

I know one thing.

If the other game doesn't have sound when you do uploads to facebook/youtube, I will have the perfect excuse to jump to Live this year.

This picture is real enough for me, and I hope that it will translate well to the player on the court.

Re: First Glimpse of NBA Live 15

Man how old are you b? The first thing you pull out your bum is the PARKS? I'm from the old school ( EA Bulls vs. Lakers ) and always purchase 2k & Live since 06. Who wants to play the "knock off" version of EA NBA STREET when I own the original? 2k has ripped off every basketball franchise tweaking that same washed up arcade-like game engine. That explains why "you will dunk on my forehead" with an unrealistic animation that can't be blocked right? I applaud 2k BEAUTIFUL ANIMATIONS but you don't control your player just take your hand off the controller! btw nice E3 screenshots Live Team

It's crazy how this is the dude that was calling everyone bias a couple pages ago

Lol nah . Graphics will be better this year especially with the face scans. I'm more worried about the gameplay. But that's off topic

Dude please talk what u know, this came from article for the Boston Celtics getting face scanned and EA explaining the process. No one from EA "leaked" nothing. Save face for what? Dude this screenshot is for the conventional CGI trailer they will show at E3 this year. When it's "actual game footage" they put it at the bottom of the screen FYI so u won't feel lied to. Understand they are not the same company and completely two styles of marketing.

i'll never forget when I saw a video of a guy doing a between the leg dunk over a defender without running. don't get me started on the unrealistic alleys in that game. don't even know why your wasting your time with these dudes man. these dudes play too much video games to know what a real basketball game is b #nerfhoops

Re: First Glimpse of NBA Live 15

These screenshots got me excited for Live 15 and I feel like this year is gonna be huge upgrade over Live 14 if they continue to listen to feedback on the game like they have been lately.

This is why I'm so hopeful for live 15. I love the other game but I'm tired of feeling like I'm not controlling my players.

but you probably forgot Dwight Howard going coast to coast for dunks & crossing guys over, guys during euro step off hand lay ups from 18 ft out, every center turning into Shaq in the post? some thing tells me you forgot that with ease...that's real basketball "b"?

Trips me our when you guys start going down their laundry list of issues in 2k but turn into Ray Charles when it comes to Live...

My bad for getting off topic...just made me laugh...I hope Live puts our a stellar game next year...I just want a good basketball game at the end of the day...

I thought u were talking about 2k lol .

I just want more control and better player movement. With less "stuck in animation"

That is why I'm SMH at some these posts in here man. At the end of the day we all should want both games to thrive because we will win in the end. The other game has flaws, but they are the juggernaut right now because they are doing something right to have people purchase their games consistently. Live needs to get their house in order and make this franchise get back on that level so we all can benefit at the end of the day. Stop being a fan-bot to either of these companies because all they want is your money when you look at the big picture. I just want both to give their best effort so I always have a tough choice to make every year between the two.

I think we all do man.....

You didn't see a lot of "stuck on animation" in Live because there weren't enough animations for it to happen lol...that's why paint defense was non existent.

Hopefully both games find a balance next year...IMO, I think we'll be in for a treat from both companies next year...that's why I am glad I don't feel the need to pledge allegiance to a company....best of both worlds..
