    Are they over-hyping this year? Is it normal to have this much footage already?

    Not complaining, it's nice to see gameplay footage already, we didn't have footage this early last year did we?

        There's more hype this year than last year, in my opinion. As if Live is sure of themselves. Which can be a good thing. They haven't been this confident in quite some time.

            We literally didn't have anything last year until the game was released.

              Definitely not true footage came out the same time as last year, during EA play.

                I remember one trailer filled with a bunch of scripted sequences/animations but that's about it. Those are never indicative of true gameplay.

                Maybe my memory is a little hazy and there was more released than I remember, but it still felt like they were basically hiding the game last year. At least they're not ashamed this time. Wish they had more to show than The One though.

                  If you look back there was a lot of Cavs vs Warriors game play upload by you-tubers and a lot of the street ball footage compared to this year. There was no point of them hiding 18 they just came back from a year off why would they not show it off. Guess there marketing different this year there still no in game footage of the Street Ball aspect, and all the clips released don't have commentary on them. Most not want to release to much to soon like last year, after the wnba reveal they had nothing left.

                    I think it means that they are confident about having a good game. They used to hide their game for several yeas...and for a reason. So maybe it's a good sign.
                    My Specs:

                    ZX Spectrum
                    CPU: Z80 @ 3.5 MHz
                    GPU: Monochrome display
                    RAM: 48 KB
                    OS: Sinclair BASIC

                      The game was good last year. I'm sure it's gonna be even better. I'm glad they are confident. I think we can say Live is back and that's a very good thing.

                        While I think more announcements have been made simply because there is more stuff to announce this year compared to last I don't think there are more videos or trailers out compared to last year.
                        It's 'Sconnie not wiscy!!!!!

                            I hope not. It's part of the reason why I'm done with 2K.

                              I think part of the waiting process is to see how free agency will play out, perhaps? Just an educated guess.
