Judging from my online experience with 2K, those people don't exist.

I think this would be a dumb decision for EA. 2k has established itself as the arcade basketball game to beat, and it's pretty much impossible to take that role away from them. I really think EA's only chance to be successful is to deliver a game which is focused on a more mature audience that appreciates realism and doesn't mind a bit of a learning curve.

2k is pretty much the whole package you could expcect from a basketball video game if you don't mind a lack of attention to issues that are really not a concern to most casual gamers. It's a fantastic game for a broad audience, with some annoyances for more serious bball fans. So I don't see EA having success by trying to deliver some middle of the road game trying to please everyone.

About the video, I'd say the same as with the 2k14 trailer...we don't know nothing about the game yet. Since I'm tired with the flashy 2k action interpretation of basketball, I hope that EA at least doesn't screw up completely. I mean a refined kind of Live 10 would be enough as a start at least for me.

I'm getting an NBA Live 10 vibe from that clip. That is a very, very good thing EA. I believe in you.

This looks damn good for what I can see. To me that elite video posted looked weird and clunky, ,this is looks more complete.

I dont mind EA promoting features like dribbling, if it gives us control which is something its competitor does not offer. Cant blame them. Pretty sure they know what they are up against.


Just give me a solid start without all the bells and whistles. Well dynasty is a must and something for the online folks.

That looked very good, the dribbling and movement was fluid from what I can tell along with some nice foot planting unlike the previous games that got canceled. Still got hope in these guys.

Nothing has changed

Warp dribbling, player model not sized correct, basket is still to small, angle of rim,camera and court are not realistic........

Wow, looks like EA is actually going hard......

What warp dribbling?
What player wasn't actually sized correctly? Was he standing next to another player or a ruler for you to determine this?
How big should the ball look for these 6"+ players?
O wait the angle of the rim u say? Is it 5 degrees off left? Or 90 degrees off right?
Oo my bad its the camera and practice court they completely created themselves, yea they really screwed that up!
