First Glimpse of NBA Live 15

Re: First Glimpse of NBA Live 15

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..

Yeah people need to stop being "fanboys" and trashing a certain game. Instead we as gamers should be wanting both games to succeed which will then lead to good competition and good games from both companies. Look what happened when 2K "thought" they had competition in 2010-2011. It led to one of the most fully-featured and best games IMO from 2K in 2K11. I don't know why people say " oh ea should stop making basketball games" when really that will just lead to them getting a more watered down version of 2K.

Anyways, again I hope the in-game graphics look as close to these screens as possible. I think EA does a better job with their face scans then 2K. Look at UFC and what they did with face scans, hopefully live can do the same. Can't wait for E3 for more info on the game.

As impressive as the kyrie irving render and those other deleted leaked renders are, at this point it's more like "look what we can do" rather than "look at what this game is going to look like" so I'll have reservations until it's actually released.

Uh oh.......I really hope they get 2k up outta here. 2k14 is so trash

Oh good grief...2k on next gen is not trash...give these launch title games time to mature guys..seriously...first year effort by 2k was nice imho....tons of flaws and bugs and ongoing server issues yeah yeah i know but overall its a pretty decent game of bball with visuals that blew away any other sports launch game.

I just dont understand the need to exaggerate..it ruins a person's credibility as far as their opinions go. Keep it REAL and keep it fair and maybe someone next time might take you seriously...otherwise your just spouting out gibberish, take that as some advice, Rook.

All these next gen titles all felt a bit rushed imho...even non sports games..there really was not one completely polished game come out on X1 or PS4 as of yet...closet to it as been Infamous and boy is it a looker!!

We are talking about games that dev's were use to on completely different hardware...lets give them time ..im pretty ok with what i've gotten so far on PS4...MLB The Show is going to take it to the next level. And besides...we are talking about games that are still considered to be in the "launch" window of these new consoles...with in that 6month period of the launch of these consoles are considered Launch games still.

People are so rotten spoiled these days and flip off at the mouth like whiny girls....child, please lol

The same thing happened with last gen consoles during their launch games....compare them to 2nd and 3rd year titles and its night and day...besides Madden lol

Re: First Glimpse of NBA Live 15

The problem with the video is how they labeled it as showing a glimpse of 15 and show us that terrible 14 footage in game.

It's very nice info how they want to discuss things on imaging the faces and stuff. But we already knew this, and showing us renders on a PC, that don't transcend into the game. Means absolutely nothing, until we see the actual 15 in game footage.

Giving us continuous jumps of in game footage using Live 14 is a crappy way of doing it. We've already justified that Live 14 is boo boo in game graphics.

I still have it on my XB1, but I won't sit here like others and the hypocrites who need to knock the competition, to justify why they play Live or want to play Live.

I like Live's gameplay modes in 14 and the challenges, those are reasons I play it, I still hate the limited animations and the sometimes ignorant A.I. system.

But the details that EA does implement on a lot of levels are very impressive, doesn't really justify the fact that the games graphics are still mediocre at this point, or that the repetitive commentary is just straight up

I want to see this game get back on track, so I can experience two types of gameplay each season and see both companies bring their A game in all aspects.

I'm more critical on Live because of all the time they had off from 10 to 14, to get things right..

And if 15 is also a debacle, then I will never buy another EA basketball game again. Their overall word, previews, etc. Will mean absolutely nothing anymore.

That is nice and all but.... "GAMEPLAY PLEASE!!!"

I think NBA Live 15 could be good if they add 1000's more animations to the game.

That is it's biggest flaw.... That and the graphics.

I mean... REALLY EA???


Other than that...

The game has some bright sparks, I do like the presentation and halftime show. And I like how they show the replays after every foul even the misses, like in real life. NBA 2K only shows the and 1's.

But all in all this game has a looooong way to go before we can even begin to compare it to 2K Basketball.

Re: First Glimpse of NBA Live 15

While I see where you are coming from I'm sure the NBA doesn't say "EA here are your restrictions: We forbid you to make realistic player models, have true to life animations and simulation gameplay!"

Screens look good though. Definite step in the right direction.

No they don't say that, but whatever the NFL prohibits probably effects everything you just mentioned.

Please tell me you don't believe that...
That can't be true can it? What could they possibly say to the game developers that would affect the game in that way? "Your animations are too smooth! We can't allow that. Please tune them down." Lol I'm being funny but seriously....please explain, I might be missing something.

Re: First Glimpse of NBA Live 15

The only restrictions I've ever heard about the NFL including in their games is tattoos on the players. I don't know what all these other game altering restrictions are. The most restriction I've ever heard about an NBA game is not having technical fouls because they think it'd make their players look bad. A stance they've obviously relaxed on in recent years since you can be hit with a technical foul in game.

Lol their is nothing like that it's just more excuses made by either EA or EA supporters but they are improving on their game as the years go by veeeeeery slowly but surely, so hopefully we won't have to hear these excuses anymore.

Here's a list of the features removed by the NFL from Madden. As you said though, it has nothing to do with the lack of quality animations and smart AI.

Thank you sir for this! As I suspected those are moves that, as a company, I understand they had to make or was in their best interest. None of that justifies the path that Live chose. They can do better...I think we can all agree on that.

No not that. For example , in the Madden thread it was the mentioned didn't like some of the big hits Ea wanted to put in like helmets coming off and necks snapping. Something like that could alter animations there.

I know its common here to have tunnel vision and not think outside the box when it comes to EA. It becomes personal which makes no sense to me. To say they can never correct these problems in either basketball or football doesn't seem logical .
You didn't say that but alot of people think that way. Like I said, people get too possessive. I love 2k but to say EA could never do this or that makes no sense from a gamer/consumer stand point.

Again, to disclaimer I'm not accusing you of saying anything I just mentioned or anything after this paragraph. I'm speaking in general.

I support both EA and 2k because as a gamer I want options. It wouldn't make sense for me to automatically denounce a game based off of a glimpse.

everyone has to start somewhere and these folks haven't been in the NBA game business for a while. I don't expect them to make the greatest basketball game of all time in year two.

I'm not a game developer and I have no idea what it takes to make these game so I don't beat up these guys who do. I know its difficult.

As far as Madden is concerned, I just want continued progress.

Re: First Glimpse of NBA Live 15

I want both games to be great and give us their best effort, but EA really has to bring it with Live 15. I have been looking at the feedback and reaction from this new info and most of the community still does not trust them. I hope the cautious feedback from the community lights a fire in them to give us the Live that we have deserved since Elite 11.

I just need EA to make a game as good as their NHL for Basketball
