the collars look funny to me.

So you're saying Ernie and Shaq look next gen in the Yakem Trailer?

Kemba Walker looks "way too muscular" because he's flexing after a basket.

And can you tell me where to get the raw files for both trailers?

Shaq and Ernie does not look next gen!

Can anyone post gifs of all the crossovers?

While there might be some issues of traveling etc I think I'm liking the end result of the spacing that is created and ability to get to the hoop. Not sure any bball game has gotten a crossover right as far as what it can create.

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

Yes something is wrong with the jerseys. They don't match the improved look of the player models. They seem stretched out and painted on. It's hard to describe.

It's actually easy to describe. The neck area is to wide for one so it exposes the players' shoulders too much. The v necks(Lakers/Heat/Raptors/Etc.) threading texture under the collar is also too noticeable(art team should've minimized it even if it was scanned). There is also a weird distortion of logos and jersey numbers when the players perform certain moves. For whatever reason, when they scanned these jerseys, it didn't account for cloth movement. Other wise when just looking straight on, the textures are on point.

Wish they would've shown a Blake dunk with more air time

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

I can respect all of the complaints and what not but I'm being honest with myself here. This looks damn good and better than the comp in a lot of areas(accessories/shoes obviously but jersey textures, hair textures(Nerlens Noel good god), some skin textures, and most importantly body types(noticeable difference between Wade/Bron/Howard/Lillard). It also looks like it plays WAY smoother than Live 14 and no matter how "wonky" some animations look, the majority looked good to me and more like Live 10(which is still one of the better bball games to date).
If the gameplay is as good as this 50 seconds looked and the presentation is even halfway decent(having ESPN alone helps but they really need better commentary and realtime pregame/ingame/postgame cutscenes) this will be a decent alternative from 2k.

EDIT: BTW, I forgot to mention it but one thing they do seem to have an upper hand in as well is the players' emotion looking lifelike. I'll say one thing, 2k's emotion last year was nice, but it's something about it that didn't "look real" if you know what I mean. Also there was a lot of the same things repeated EVERYTIME down the court(pointing and skipping back/ index finger hitting head). None of those actually look like something i'd see an NBA player do tbh. Even the Melo "3 to the dome" didn't look or feel right, same for Westbrook. They seemed "weak" and lacking emotion.
Seeing Westbrook in this trailer looked like something he'd do, it had that...aggression he does it with. The snippet of Melo also had the correct finger placement and looked exactly like how he'd do it. Then when it comes to yelling, it just looks more believable on Live. The veins popping out on the neck and the arms tensing and flexing(Noah WOAH just like real life), it just comes alive and pops out at you more.

As someone who just played Live 14 yesterday, i'm conflicted. It's like I know I shouldn't buy this one, yet it is so much of a jump in multiple areas that I feel like I owe it to myself after essentially being their beta tester. Very very interested to hear more about the advancements AI-wise on offense and all of the defensive additions. Ultimately Live 14 does not play very different from team to team so I look forward to a blog addressing that.

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

Like I said in the 2k15 yakkem trailer thread.. Hip-hop & basketball go together so well.. It just doesnt feel the same with other music I wouldn't use any other genre for a trailer.. I understand you guys may not agree but that's just my opinion

The music in this trailer sounded like crap to me. 2K trailer was way more engaging than this even if it wasn't hip hop.

Whether it was crap or not, his point is hip hop flows with basketball better, and he has a point. Just like rock works better with something like football or hockey.

When Live realizes players just don't drive and dunk on everybody down the court maybe they'll compete. Doubt it.

Have you played MyTeam???

For those asking for a raw version of the trailer here it is (thanks to TBM from NLSC):

I felt the definition of the trailer on Youtube wasn't clear and quite blurry even on HD but this video makes the trailer graphics look so much better.

thanks for the video

18 pages of comments for a trailer that really shows no gameplay what so ever. I'm so glad I avoid these forums now a days.

Luckily, there will be a demo. So no need to pay $60 if you don't like it. I'm hoping the demo will impress me enough to buy the full game. The trailer definitely shows some promise.

Cmon yall don't be fooled by this trailer....we all know EA's history. They get you hype off of a trailer and then later you're taking this game to gamestop to trade in and get 2K...Don't be fooled

sincerely 2K fan (since 99' the original 2k) lol

LOL too true. EA paints a very pretty picture but we all know the game play is not always true to the sport. So best to wait and see on this one. Look at madden 15, after all the bluster about how dope is was going to be it scored a 7 and people are already picking the meat off the bones of the gameplay. Its a good game but not the greatest. So again, wait and see.
