Yea, it was VERY brief according to all that I've read prior to the postings on Op. Spts. Kinda hard to go off that and listen to the usual rah-rah EA has been giving every year about their sports games but I will say that I also believe that the Live team doesn't want to play too much of their hand to the press because of 2K. EA could do that with Madden because Madden is the ONLY sim football game in town, these days.
I like what I have been reading, though, about how they are attacking gameplay and fluidity plus increasing the animations. Even Mike had said in an interview in April that 2K was masking a lot of issues by piling on the animations where as here, he says there is a lot of great AI logic that needs to be fleshed out with more animations. I have to admit, that statement about adding animations to flesh out the AI is odd but I am not a game dev or designer so I truly don't have a clue as to what that really means.
I look forward to how this game pans out. I want them to get back in the game with Live.
