I'm weird but I couldn't help but notice Kobe's collarbone when he was running. The detail is just awe inspiring.

I for one am VERY excited at the prospect of what this new engine can do for the game. Like I said in an earlier post movement is probably the most important aspect of basketball and if this engine plays as advertised it can be amazing for the game from a gameplay standpoint. It'll affect the way players move on offense with and without the ball and most importantly how players move on defense. The fact that everything is dynamic and that players change and adapt based on their environment is astounding. Not to mention that it affects how the crowd reacts to the game.

How anyone can call this fluff is beyond me.

word be a useless feature, seeing how their heads are covered by helmets. In game view, you won't be able to see much of a reaction to their emotions at all, similiar to how its broadcast on tv.

Its a lost cause homie. No one cares about ratings, basketball strategy, or the ability to play defense at this point. As long as the game looks like nba basketball and moves like nba basketball everything else is secondary. We are now in the myplayer age.

I will give 2k credit for making a true next gen game. Their artist and mo cap people did a phenomenal job. But if 2k insider still butchers all the ratings it won't matter to me. Because online play will be ruined for me

Lol. Did you not watch the video at all? It's about much more than player faces man.. And I see players faces in Madden all of the time. Cutscenes? Replays? Would be far from useless if it was just faces.

Here..

With Eco-Motion, the entire NBA experience comes to life in ways never before seen in a video game, including crowd reactions, atmosphere, coaching strategies, real player voices, and most of all the emotion of the game. Player animations are dynamic, and evolve on the fly as you play. Player personalities and emotions factor into the game as well, affecting how players perform and even behave on the court. No longer will players look like robots on the court. Now you will feel the emotion of the game in a living, evolving basketball environment.
