Over the past week or so, the Live team has dropped cover info, a teaser trailer, hints of a new (I'm guessing tweaked) physics engine, promises of more fleshed out modes and more. I'm just wondering how everyone feels about this transparency by the team?
Not to get too far off topic, but with Live and many other sports games (EA or other) sometimes a lot of what the community asks either gets ignored or answered with a non answer. Most notably, we saw it on the NHL side of things last year, and the backlash that went along with it.
On one hand, I personally am looking forward to finding out more about the game this week. I think the Live team is showing a lot of confidence in their product, which is a hell of a change to say the least. Even with their promises of "being back" or delivering on expectations in previous years, I don't think the community genuinely felt like they were sold on their own game due to, more or less, a lack of transparency with information on the game.
I also realize the possibility that we could be in for another disappointment. While everything sounds good so far, I agree with most in saying that we need to be able to see the improvements. And there need to be A LOT of improvements. To me, Live 15 was a solid game and I'm still having some fun with it, but the team needs to capitalize on the opportunity they have to bring essential and much wanted things into this franchise, or the name Live is going to stay a running joke.
TL;DR Are you optimistic of the confidence the devs/PR team are showing, or are you expecting to be disappointed?
