    1 - The spacing. Players go to the proper spots on the floor, don't crowd each other and generally stay out of each other's way. Corner players clear the post, wing players properly space the floor, etc.

    2 - The triangle. You can get nice triangle action on the wing and create some different looks from that action.

    3 - There doesn't seem to be much sliding, so footplanting looks to be improved.

    4 - Running of different actions at the press of a button. Sean showed it off in the live stream and it was pretty nice. You can get pin downs, iso's, side pick and rolls, horns, etc. with the push of a button.

    5 - The AI plays a realistic brand of basketball. Synergy, from what i understand, is not updated yet, but even at that, the teams were playing realistically, working the ball around, taking smart shots, etc.

    I could go on and on, too. There were plenty of nice things to take away from those videos. But you and I clearly are on different wavelengths when it comes to what we're seeing in these videos.

    So please, continue to troll me because I have a different opinion than yours.

    And for the record I also said there were some rough spots. I will reserve judgement on all of this until I have played the game myself and see exactly what it is that it offers.

      Will be interesting to see if EA folds the franchise or takes the criticism to heart and implements changes. Time to dig deep EA!

        This seems to be a lie that is peddled on here a lot. Live 14 hasnt had a 3 year development. They've worked on Elite and Live 13 in between. Live 14 was started from scratch from what we've been told.

        Why people feel the need to perpetuate the lie of this 3 year cycle I dont know. If you are going to have a criticism, do it fairly.

          TROLLING YOU!!!?!?!? Because I was trying to understand where you were coming from with what you saw, to get a different grasp and understanding from someone, so I could maybe go back and look at the videos with a different line of sight, but i'm trolling you!?!

          Yeah you've convinced me, you're full of it and you can't take any criticism on your precious NBA Live because you want it to succeed so bad. I'm done with this forum, most of you Live fans are nothing but damn children, or at least adults who act like children.

            This looks sick for a Atari Lynx game, I wouldn't accept this crap looking game on 360 or PS3 though. SMH, and I wanted it to be passable so much, EA is obviously putting little to no $ and resources towards this thing and just hoping we buy it based on past games/brand recognition...if it seemed they were just TRYING to improve the gameplay I'd have given it a shot but I just CAN'T justify purchasing something where the publisher is literally trying to just crap on my head for 60 bucks.

              Is this true? It looks like the same old gameplay to me. The herky-jerky animations remind me of mid 2000's NBA Live games and the rest of it seems to follow suit with the later 2000s.

                Wow. I didn't have high expectations for this game, and I was going to give it a chance, but 4.3?! No way in hell I'm picking this up.

                      Well, I fully expected your response to my post to be, "LOL BUY NEW GLASSES DOOD! THE GAME SUX!" or something meaningless like that.

                      If you want to have a real discussion about the footage, I'm game.

                        Can't wait to try the demo since I take every review with a grain of salt, especially with sports. Too many non sports fans review these games.

                          What the review tells us is. If EA's features were added to 2K's looks and game play then we'd have a monster of a game. If only it were that easy

                              Personally reviews don't change my mind but the accompanying video clips of the gameplay sure do, just looks archaic for a game in 2013 by almost any standards (CG or NG)...menus and soundtrack definitely have 2K beat and I bet servers will work great too, but since I have yet to play it on or offline that is just an opinion of mine but I know historically EA servers haven't had the legacy problems 2Ks have so I feel justified in saying Live's servers will PROBABLY be better, but at the end of the day this is so obviously an inferior game on the actual court it is easy to tell how little priority EA has for this series. I know with more time support and money these developers could more than likely make a good basketball video game but EA seems more interested in putting all their resources into Madden and Battlefield so no Live for me this year it seems.

                                Bleacher Reports review is what I expected. IGN's review is just flat out fanboyish, if that's a word.

                                Either way, I'm my own reviewer so I only care what I think. And I'll find out when I play the demo later today.
