That screenshot look really nice. The detail of the ball, shorts, tattoo and variety in crowd models is very good, even I can see a couple who are wearing an opponent jersey (Sixers right?); I can see that there are too many grey shirts on the crowd but that's a very very very minor detail.

Start from scratch?! I refuse to give them another excuse to delay their game. They need more animations, but they all need to be refined and tightened to a high degree. Plus, I want to see EA finish a 3 year plan for once. lol

Ball looks good. Material on the shorts looks really nice as well. Still not getting my hopes up. Game may look nice from the little we have seen. We need to see gameplay.

O'Brien said they've added better "higher quality" animations to Live 15. So maybe they did update the old animations

If this WASN'T on the ball, I'm sure people would be complaining on "It's such and easy thing to do, how can EA not have the correct ball for the NBA?" But now, nobody cares and it is pointless.

These little details make the game feel and look more authentic.

Yea, I know, "Let me see some gameplay already!" right?

Can't wait to see more. Hope it is a good game. I have no problem buying both Live and 2k.

Man, you can tell that they have those awful NBA LIVE animations just by looking at that picture? Amazing.

And all of this time, all I could see was an extremely detailed screenshot, I didn't even notice the horrible animations in the background. Saved me $60.
