Re: Kyrie Irving is Cover Athlete For NBA Live 14, Cover Art and In-Game Footage Trai

Really liking the look of the game so far. Even though we've been getting it in bits and pieces, it's looking more and more like it's worthy of purchase.

Graphically, it's on point. I like how the fingers seem to conform to the ball, as well as the wrinkles in the jersey/shorts and the cloth movement in general. Plus, the jerseys are actually on the shoulders, not floating.

Also, in case no one noticed, the accessory colors/setups look to be correct.

Also while the calf muscles DO look kinda big, I think it's the kneepads that make them look that way. The "fabric" outside the pads seem to be/look thicker than they actually are - it should fit skin-tight with the exception of the pad (obviously) and you can tell in the footage they do not. I believe that's why they look big.

But a BIG + for me is that Kyrie doesn't look too thin, or like a body builder (2K's current-gen models all have that look). If you compare the model shown to RL pictures of Kyrie, it's actually pretty close.

Overall it looks promising. I still will wait for 5-on-5 gameplay (and the Association, etc. modes) before deciding but for the first time in a while Live actually looks pretty good. At least, IMO...
