NBA Live 18 Videos Released

Re: NBA Live 18 Videos Released

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.

Sorry I can't overlook bad player movement and animations in a sim sports game, if it ain't right I can't play the game for an extended amount of time.

As with any similar competing products, it has to at least match the basic functions of the product it is competing against, if not then it can't compete. NBA Live cannot reproduce a basic function of it's competition. I feel Madden would be in the same boat as NBA Live if 2K was still allowed to make NFL games, animations and movement is something EA Sports just doesn't do well, it's sad because it's a basic function of all sports.

Re: NBA Live VLOG

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.

I'm not calling you dishonest, I'm saying they can't afford more of that and we don't need to give them that about this game. None of us.

The thing you say you can ignore is the very thing that keeps the game at bay, and that's a problem on a LARGE scale.

Don't get me wrong, I did nothing but buy multiple basketball games when they came out before things started to dwindle, and I want this to be playable with longevity, but im not accepting mediocre basics either.

Im not rolling with yall folks who've been claiming foundation since Live 2007 and it never gets off the carpet.

I'll get to see for myself at EA play. I don't trust most Youtubers anyway because they wreck stuff real good, they'll pump up things for pay although agent00 is a cool kid.

The movement needs to be fixed badly. Once Live went south in that area they lost and haven't been able to get back up since.

Don't forget the 1st red flag that's being overlooked: no Frostbite. this is still the Ignite engine. They took 2 years off, and now the excuse will be they need another 3 years to fully implement it. Its the perfect string along tactic, that they've been doing to Live fans for years, since Elite.

Frostbite is nothing but a graphics engine anyway. Star wars gave been using it and that's about it.

They said ignite would be this big thing and turned out not to be

I just can't get behind the animations in EA sports games, look robotic/clunky and that net still animates oddly. Graphics look great and we'll see about gameplay but the animations are still eyesores.

Re: NBA Live 18 Videos Released

Okay I'm going to be honest....Nothing about that trailer impressed me....The lighting is horrible, the net still animates terribly, the bodies are ridiculously off, jerseys are hella big and goofy looking, and the player movement still don't even look as fluid and natural as 2k9...SMH

At this point EA should just go ahead and cancel the entire series. They really had a realistic shot to win over a good majority of the 2k community (after 2k17 let so many people down) and this the best they could come up with? After 2 whole years? YIKES

I'd honestly be more excited if Sony brought back the NBA:The Life series

Frostbite...

Ignite...

What are these and how will these affect my buying decision? Any examples of other sports titles using either of these?

Re: NBA Live VLOG

I cant wait to purchase it face scans look on point, facial expression look beautiful. My issues are arena lighting it's to dark it reminds me of NBA 2k15, they need to brighten it up. Also Kyrie Irving looked off they gave him a pin head with a giraffe neck. Russell Westbrook head looked a tad bit small and his neck need's to be a tad bit wider like NBA Live 16 version. Animations looked the same as NBA Live 16 a bit clunky and robotic. Overall it's a first day buy for me as long as there's roster editing.

ROSTER EDIT WILL BE MY DEAL BREAKER! I can not give a pass this go-round...I'm the type who buys both franchises every year if not for nostalgia alone but EA completely disregarded the staple of the franchise(each year promoting shoes mainly) truly turned me off the thought of wasting another $15-$20 on LIVE.

That reverse layup by Kyrie can be blocked by a 5 years old boy.

The animations look really off.

Re: NBA Live 18 Videos Released

Firstly, YT is becoming excruciating.

Im pretty positive on what I saw. The animations look smoother to me. Was any written info released?

And the best thing about Live? Those beautiful net and rim physics.

I can't find it but from what a few youtubers said they were told by the people at EA, they claimed that there's an all new dribbling system that you have all the control in. To counter that ,the defense has this timing system where if you time your moves right (I think they're alluding to the angles), you can negate the offenses dribbling moves

They also said they reworked the post and that there much more moves. Emphasis on size and strength as a factor in the post

Something to do with signature moves for players. That's probably for the bigger names. If most or all of the big names have signature moves that would be cool

That's about all I can remember them claiming

Thanks for the info. Im pretty keen to see more of this game, and I havent said that about Live in over 10 years.

Re: NBA Live 18 Videos Released

Looks good to me. I look forward to playing it early through EA access.

Those are graphics engines. Frostbite engine comes from the battlefield series. Ignite was/is the engine certain games were using to start this generation.

First of the big EA sports games to crossover to Frostbite was FIFA 17. Madden 18 will be using it for the first time this year.

It really only effects the visuals. Gameplay of FIFA 17 for example was not much different from FIFA 16 which was on ignite engine.

Re: NBA Live 18 Videos Released

Honestly if they put work into the defense and post game im sold. Spacing is the biggest pro with nba live. Bring some type of Franchise mode and im good to go.

Online play actually works and I had a blast playing online. Something I havent touched since Micheal Redd was in the league.
