Agreed, 2k has left the sim-door, so to speak, wide open. There really hasn't been a sim basketball game since Live has been absent. 2k went in the casual direction to capitalize on Live's fan base I believe.

But yea, if Live can deliver a game with core simulation gameplay, something positive that they can build on, then they have succeeded in my book.

2K12 was a very sim game. It had flaws but to me it was the simmest 2K to date.

they do look skinny. but the truth is, they are skinny in real life. thats what we dont notice. football players are big dudes. pure and simple. even the thin dudes are buff to some degree.
hoop players are RAIL THIN a lot of times. i remember after kobe tweeted a pick of him with some other guys on crutches after he injured his achilles. everyone thought he lost all of the weight on that foot. he just had the cast on for like 2 days. people didnt realize how THIN his legs really were.

So the skinny EA guys are actually more realistic. the biggest issue with the skinny look, is that it looks GENERIC. its one thing to be thin but with features that match the person not just in face but arm size, leg size, waist, shoulders, etc(i mean can you tell marion is marion with his high shoulders? probably not, but you should be able to see that kind of detail.)

if the gameplay is good i can look past that but they should work on it the year after

I agree with what alot of people are saying and I hope Live just goes for Sim community and makes a Good basketball game that folks with knowledge about the game can use it to compete, I'm really good at 2k but as a sim baller its crazy how you get pointed out because you run 10-15 plays and slow game down because you play real ball instead of Run around with a Superstar and exploit him in 2k. I have a good feeling about live this year. Models can always be tinkered with but If you notice it seemed as if Kyrie was the only polished Model all others were pretty generic looking ie Paul, Jordan.

Block shots with everything besides hands lol.

I need something a little different from 2k. Im hoping if the mentioned features are done right, we might have something to look forward to in the future. I just hope it will be a great base and decent start.

I havent played something I would consider sim since 2k10 and Live 10.

You mean the game with 70% shooting percentages out of the box that topped off at bout 60% after all patches ? There was ZERO paint contact out of the box and that is not a exaggeration. Help defense was pure crap and the game was a dunkfest. Then add the fact that jumpshots were hit too consistently with anyone even on HOF. Nothing sim about 2K10.

Why did he get a warning? I didn't see anything bad.

He previously had something against the TOS in his signature.

As long as they avoid the "Never seen before" stuff, there is some hope.

Amazing to read what EA wants to accomplish.

Just by reading the OP I can see they have been reading the forums and know what 2K was doing wrong. These are all solutions 2K should have implemented into their game which they didn't bother to do.

And it'll cook your dinner for you as well as breakfast in bed in the morning!

Sorry, it sounds like all talk, and until they show us some more videos, more some dev videos like 2k does, I'll be... cautiously optimistic.
