NBA Live 18 Videos Released

Re: NBA Live 18 Videos Released

Kuda got to break down some the footage the people who went to the event saw + the new features the dev team have developed. Interested about how the post is "completely different" and that size and strength is a true factor. What was REALLY nice to hear was that they said defenders won't slide and that you need to know how to defend in order to stop a experienced ball handler

Of course, it's just an opinion and regular people need to play before we find out, but the post play needed a big improvement and it's good to see it was addressed (apparently)

They still have sticks up their butts...

Not only was I not impressed (I wanted to be), but I'm getting ready to pre-order 2k18 now.

The fact that the footage is being "leaked" by $PAID$ YouTubers is a bad sign.

I'll hold my judgment until it's out.

Re: NBA Live 18 Videos Released

I can understand how younger people who only grew up with 2k would find the gameplay trailer different, and 24, I respect that you've played the beta beforehand, but if you're reading some of the youtube comments you'd see that LIVE again is receiving unnecessary hate. It's definitely getting more love than last time and I think it looks pretty nice. There are definitely signature moves that make me happy. The kids are too used to what 2k looks like that they can't accept an alternative

Do they want the bodies to look the same? I'm pretty sure there was a massive argument about what the competitor did for the last few years

2k has done a lot of the same for the last 3 years (overall gameplay, bar certain areas), and I don't see how people can be overly satisfied except for the the fact that it's been a constant to purchase



Thank you

Nailed it

Would say go the NBA Jam route but that's taken now. Was not impressed at all

Live is getting hate because they have been wetting the bed for some time now. When Live was at the top of it's game, the standards for a hoops title were not as demanding. Look good, animate well, and be fun were really the only main areas to nail. People now expect: Teams to play exactly like their real life counterparts; Players to look exactly like their counterparts; Players to shoot, dribble, etc. just like their counterparts; Provide a plethora of game options/modes. It's somewhat unfair to live but they put themselves in the position to have to blow people away to get some respect..


2k17 had many annoying issues this year which I won't break down here, but I will say this is the 1st time since 2k10 I won't be dropping pre-order money down for 2k's title..

I guess we all see things different here. Perhaps the animations are clunky, i choose to overlook it to enjoy the other aspects i love about NBA Live. In 2017, i feel like society excepts nothing less than perfection. No shortcomings. That's simply not realistic nor possible. I've yet to meet a single human being with no flaws, or holes in their character, so to speak.

We will see more soon. This didn't show us much, mostly the fact that signature animations are a focus this year. And it's about damn time, lol.

The last part of your statement is where they truly lacked, even with 16 boasting in some areas like tatts an accessories. I feel confident they'll get that part right but and they've claimed there are more signature animations also but who knows until we get to play

Re: NBA Live 18 Videos Released

I'm not to worried this looks like an old build, maybe it's an old enough build prior to the delay. I'm guessing the EA suits played this build and wanted to clean up the clunky herky jerky animations, so expect a totally different build at EA Play. All we can do is give positive feedback and pray EA Devs listen to our input.

This always gets mention (it's an old build) and when the game releases nothing has changed from the old build video to release day gameplay.

Go back and pull up every thread prior to Live releasing for the past 5-6 years and you'll find the same response "This must be a earlier build" by those who immediately try to defend the animations or player movement

You guys have to understand it's not a crime to let EA know ahead of the time their animations still look SUSPECT AT BEST.......

If you keep trying to justify the player movement they (EA) will keep delivering a bad game from a animation perspective

Their track is proven that the games just don't animate properly so we can't just sit around and say don't worry "It's just and old build"

That stuff doesn't fly anymore especially based on their history

Re: NBA Live 18 Videos Released

It's hilarious how quickly a YouTuber will sell out for a vacation and a face scan.

Why don't any of them freeze frame on the parts that look awful?

I'll give Live 18 a chance, but the graphics/animations are bad and I don't trust any review that wouldn't point that out:


photo web hosting




cdn image server

Fair play on the first image. I heard Agent 00 say the same thing aout Harden's jumpshot not being so hot, but what's to get annoyed about in the last two? Jordan has his tongue out and that look stupids if you pause the game

3rd photo looks horrible

but i'm not even sweating the graphics I've never had any issues with Live in that area.....

It's the player movement I wish they would just go all in on for once....

I know there's a lot of young bucks who get into sneakers, tat's and faces but I could live with decent graphics especially if the gameplay, animations and movement was top notch

EYE CANDY can only get you so far if the game moves like crap once again

Re: NBA Live VLOG

Live used to be the game with smoother animations but that's not the point.

The awful clunky jerky unrealistic spastic robotic movement is unacceptable in 2017 and one of the main reasons this game has cancellation and delay issues.

Nobody has to even bring up 2k. There are plenty of 60 dollar video games that perform this very well and you can't keep making excuses for a sports game that has failed multiple times if you expect anything to get better.

It has nothing to do with control either..what they don't need is any dishonest feedback because someone wants their game to be good.

i gave zero dishonest feedback. I gave my opinion. Tbh, yes the harden sequence looked a little hitchy while he was sizing up green. But it was clearly showcasing signature style, so that's a +.

The only video games I care to play are hoops games unless it's virtual reality. I'm solely a basketball junkie, no other sports intrigue me at all other than soccer.

I saw improvement here, 23. That's not a dishonest opinion my friend.

Exactly, these struggle Live apologists are starting to come out the woodworks. I cant believe we still have to talk about animations. That's been a Live issue going all the way back to PS2/Xbox days and its still freaking here. Live has been awful since 2007, here we are talking about that same ish 10 years later. 10 years of pure garbage from EA, with a fresh coat of paint.

Re: NBA Live 18 Videos Released

So from what I've seen from Live 18 (same as everybody else, just the screenies and short trailer), graphics are top-notch but animations are a bit creepy, like they don't look human, but instead look a bit uncanny valley.
