The only thing I gathered was about the build of the footage we saw so that should put that debate to rest.
I don't think anyone should have expected full, detailed and descriptive answers. These Q&As never amount to anything except for the devs answering questions we already know, or them answering people praising the game.

When it comes to the real, tough questions, they either ignore them, or say stay tuned for more info.

This is with every company, not just the Live dev team either. I always feel these are pointless for the real hardcore sim gamers.

Also, this made me cringe...

PF and Centers that don't shoot 3s, will they be more around the rim instead of being at the 3pt line?

Yes, player tendencies driven by advanced analytics will dictate player behavior on the court.
I can count a handful of big men that can stretch defenses out to the 3 point line. I hope those are also represented well, and they're not just "more around the rim" because that's where casual basketball fans think they should be.

I don't think anyone was expecting anything out of the world as far as responses go.

But to sit there and give the company line on every answer makes me say why not just release a statement rather than this.

Because they're taking this opportunity to get people to talk about the game on twitter. To try and get some buzz through social media.

They never intended to answer any of the tough questions. They answered what most of us already knew and are moving on, happy they got some noise about the game out there.

Pretty pointless. Lots of the typical EA wording which translates to a lot of nothing

Just curious, what is "typical EA wording"?

He's has a point, they make it sound good in interviews but when you actually play the game it's nothing like they made it sound in the interviews. But at the same time, you can't expect anybody to make their product sound anything other than outstanding in interviews. It' like interviewing a director or actor before their movie is released, they are going to say the movie is great, until you go and see it, then you realize you were stupid for believing them.

Bottom line, if somebody believe everything someone says in an bias interview, you are naive.

Should've asked if they revamped dynasty mode. 2K hasn't put out info on that yet but someone that works with Live a few months ago hinted at dynasty mode being completely sick this year and should be a joy to play.
