Looks really good. Been fooled by EA trailers and teasers plenty of times in the past, so not jumping off that ledge at this point. But this is definitely a good start to the process this year. Here's hoping they can keep it up.

That crossover on the break looked incredible.

I agree. Something about the way he stops on a dime and his feet stutter before regaining balance. It's also cool how Jeremy Lin is back peddling and stops and tries to reach but misses and then has to turn and chase Westbrook after being beat by the cross.

It cuts off be you can see him start to turn around if you pause at the last second.

Hmmm....wanna get excited about Live again. But when the cover athlete doesn't even have the same haircut in game as he does during mo-cap.....However this is year 3 of their "plan" so I'll give them one last chance. All I want is smoother animations and full player editing please 😐

Hair is no big deal. Live 15 had a better version of lebrons hair and Dwight Howard and they patched those in

I'm excited to be getting live info this early in the cycle. I love the cross over in transition but the animation wasn't too impressive, neither was the dunk. Hopefully those were just placeholder animations while they polish up live motion. I'm happy you have the control freedom to shift like that in transition just not all that impressed with the animation of it... I'm SURE it will get better, we are still in early June. They have until August..




Props for Westbrook being chosen. If you follow the narrative of point guards being chosen it's like they finally believe they have something special. First it was an up and coming Irving, then a Damien lillard who had arrived and was on the cusp of greatness, now it's Russell he's a top 5 point guard . If the game follows the cover athletes chosen, we should be in for a show. Russell Westbrook always puts on a show.


in real life in looking forward to see how Russell and KD play together next year. I want to see them play golden state!

dunks still look weird though, idk how to explain it... just doesn't look natural. Impressive graphics but man gameplay is the make or break for me. Live 15's lack of post game was a HUGE turn off for me. Live is just so far behind 2k in terms of gameplay.. I always tell myself that i'll give Live a chance but when I compare it to 2k, the gap between them is just so wide. Hopefully Live is able to somewhat catch up to 2k this year

Your telling me this still captured screenshot of Westbrook dunking, doesn't look better than the trailers dunk snippet? Me personally I'm not concerned by how the dunk looked in the trailer. Since it was a pre-E3 released trailer. So I'm sure they've implemented an array of signature dunks that have yet to be fully revealed.

should have explained that better, my bad. The actual dunk animation is good. It's just when it hits the rim, it just doesn't feel natural. It's been a thing with live for years imo

Are you meaning when the players hand hits the rim, or when the ball goes through the rim? Bc it could be how the net looks in Live or how the rim physics play out. Ultimately tho both have impact on each other, so maybe and hopefully it will look better come E3.

It's the dunk's sound effect messing with you

The hand still hits the rim like it has no blood in it and is numb. Makes it look like a flipper. They have to address these stiff ugly animations man. New technology and we're still in the same boat.

I took the in-game clips and looped them if anybody's interested.

Embed it for ya. Game looks promising, only thing that ticks me off like some other people in this thread from the looks of it is the dunk finish. Oh well.

Idk man I won't seize to believe that dunk will even be in the final product. They're hiding everything new for E3. Which is probably the reason why, they showed as sub par authentic dunk like that.
