Very cool. Need more. Lol

It's hilarious how quickly a YouTuber will sell out for a vacation and a face scan.

Why don't any of them freeze frame on the parts that look awful?

I'll give Live 18 a chance, but the graphics/animations are bad and I don't trust any review that wouldn't point that out:

Would say go the NBA Jam route but that's taken now. Was not impressed at all

It's definitely getting more love than last time and I think it looks pretty nice. There are definitely signature moves that make me happy. The kids are too used to what 2k looks like that they can't accept an alternative Do they want the bodies to look the same? I'm pretty sure there was a massive argument about what the competitor did for the last few years 2k has done a lot of the same for the last 3 years (overall gameplay, bar certain areas), and I don't see how people can be overly satisfied except for the the fact that it's been a constant to purchase Thank you

Live is getting hate because they have been wetting the bed for some time now. When Live was at the top of it's game, the standards for a hoops title were not as demanding. Look good, animate well, and be fun were really the only main areas to nail. People now expect: Teams to play exactly like their real life counterparts; Players to look exactly like their counterparts; Players to shoot, dribble, etc. just like their counterparts; Provide a plethora of game options/modes. It's somewhat unfair to live but they put themselves in the position to have to blow people away to get some respect..


2k17 had many annoying issues this year which I won't break down here, but I will say this is the 1st time since 2k10 I won't be dropping pre-order money down for 2k's title..

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.

The last part of your statement is where they truly lacked, even with 16 boasting in some areas like tatts an accessories. I feel confident they'll get that part right but and they've claimed there are more signature animations also but who knows until we get to play

All we can do is give positive feedback and pray EA Devs listen to our input.

This always gets mention (it's an old build) and when the game releases nothing has changed from the old build video to release day gameplay.

Go back and pull up every thread prior to Live releasing for the past 5-6 years and you'll find the same response "This must be a earlier build" by those who immediately try to defend the animations or player movement

You guys have to understand it's not a crime to let EA know ahead of the time their animations still look SUSPECT AT BEST.......

If you keep trying to justify the player movement they (EA) will keep delivering a bad game from a animation perspective

Their track is proven that the games just don't animate properly so we can't just sit around and say don't worry "It's just and old build"

That stuff doesn't fly anymore especially based on their history

Fair play on the first image. I heard Agent 00 say the same thing aout Harden's jumpshot not being so hot, but what's to get annoyed about in the last two? Jordan has his tongue out and that look stupids if you pause the game
