That contact animation on the drive though


Sneakers, jerseys look WAY better than 2k's

I dont know guys, I think I both games this year.


By the way the features look great, at least they talked about defense.. we all know how bad the on ball defense for 2k is....

Hope to see more gameplay in the near future.

looking good.

It also means having enough animations available to properly simulate basketball....which is what Live 14 lacked.

If we can get some of these redone body types/faces moving properly in motion, well be in for a treat...

Totally agree.

But as the user I should feel like I made something happened not the game. So the key is finding the balance of animation vs freedom.

Control doesn't mean giving unrealistic abilites to players. It means not being stuck and long drawn out animations.

Understood. But drawn out animations are necessary to keep the game from looking stiff. That was the problem with NBA Elite and Live in general, IMO. Control is good. I'm not arguing against that. But you have to implement it in a way that is aesthetically pleasing or the game looks like crap. Like I said, there is a fine line and the main thing is to strike that perfect balance.

Yeah it's somewhere in the middle...because as the user I want to feel that what I made happen matters...

Re: NBA Live 15 Features Revealed, Improved Visuals Trailer Released

My thing is animation quality to control responsiveness, and finding the happy medium.

A game can have excellent animations and look the part of an NBA game, or it can have really good animations, with more control and play like the players that the game represents.

I want #2. I want to be in control of what my video game players do. I still want quality animations, but not at the total expense of control.

It may not make sense to some, but hopefully some understand what I'm trying to say.

Game looks so stiff. Great graphs tho

Re: NBA Live 15 Features Revealed, Improved Visuals Trailer Released

The amount of detail that I am seeing when I watch the trailer is just amazing.

I can see Derozan's acne patch...

The sounds of the dunking and that may not sound all that accurate but I like them because they're nostalgic from past live games

I'm really excited to see this from a broadcast camera angle.

When I first seen this trailer earlier this afternoon, straight WHOA was my quick reaction but couldn't watch again til now that I'm home with a stable and even better network connection.

Now that I've run it a couple more times, WHOA has become ok, not bad. Graphics are gorgeous, emotion engine is WOO but still seeing that signature Live stiffness in some of the the animations and those damn paddle hands. That's not a good thing for me. That's a legacy issue that needs to be fully rectified to get a more immersive visual. I sure hope EA is working on a better animation engine for both this game AND Madden but I look forward to a demo for Live 15 because that vid shows some promise.

I get what your saying WTF...

Live 10 was a good example of having pretty good contextual animations in place, but a lack of diversity...you saw those same 4-5 animations everyone you had contact at the rim and that started to wear on me personally...

Live 14 was more of a case of not having enough animations in place....not even form a strictly visual standpoint like Live 10...but to create proper contact situations at the rim. I had no idea if I could trigger contact at the rim from one play to the other...

For me, In that instance, I can have all the control in world, but I don't feel like I am playing basketball..

That's why the focus on rim interactions is music to my ears...

Annnnnnd all of a sudden this is on my radar. Looks legit!

Re: NBA Live 15 Improved Visuals Trailer

Graphics look exceptional! Still need to see some unedited movement (not sure how well players move yet).

The transition from running to dunking around 40:00 looked a bit weird, but still have to see it in real-time gameplay to decide.

Overall, exciting trailer and nice list of features.

Spoiler

What's up with the 2K7 dunk where player touches the rim with one hand and dunks the ball with the other? haha

That Wiggins dunk in the Live 15 trailer came from Live 06 the PS2 version, I'm a Live head so I recognized it as soon as I saw it!!!https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5jVm5J-oYcQ

Been waiting for a while to see some Live 15 footage, even cancelled my preorder after no footage from Gamescon. This trailer shows great promise visually, but the gameplay still looks stiff and ackward, especially in that Blake Griffin windmill. Some of the accessories still look bulky, while others look like they should. I added it to my Gamefly list, but if the demo plays anything like Live 10 then I'm buying 2 Nba games in October.
