You can record thousands of animations, but if you put them to work under an outdated physics/game engine, they will never look right, and it's why Live 15 doesn't and neither will any of the following Lives until they build a new engine from the ground up and stop using this PS2 monstrosity that they spit shine enough to try and pass of as "Ignite" other things like performing special moves with players looks nice but takes you absolutely nowhere and its useless because most of the time your defender will just slingshot right back to you. There is no real physics involved, just simply the CPU knowing and reading your controller input and shadowing you Graphics look very nice, body types are very impressive much better than 2K, each player really looks like them self at all times... all the players are basically being generic clones of one another, sure they may have different cross overs, but end of the day they all feel and for the most part play like one another It really just feels like Live 14 with a major patch or two... this is the game I was expecting when they announced they were going to release a major patch for 14 to fix some of the big issues. But this is basically what Live 14 should have been....

Disagree on the body types. Some of Live's face scans are truly spectacular...some of the best in sports gaming...but the super muscular builds kill the immersion. 90% of the players I've seen in the gameplay vids are built like Anthony Mason or Kevin Willis. It's a shame because Kevin Durant has an amazing face scan with a body like Deebo.
