While the NBA Live 13 trailer shows the game in action, according to Kotaku, it might be the last we see of it, for quite some time.

Quote:


	Questioned by Kotaku, an EA Sports spokesman refused to discuss release format, time frame, or the game's anticipated feature set. Asked why this series, which has been off shelves for three years, couldn't hit an Oct. 2 release date with a 70-man team in place for a year, he said: "We're not going to get into that level of detail with this announcement. In early April, you saw where we were with this project and how ambitious it was, that they had to take down the code of Elite and rebuild it. Its easy to surmise that also took time, in the development cycle, to get the whole thing up to speed. It was an ambitious project and it is a challenging game to create."

The players in that trailer look very synthetic.

Faces look great, but they don't have a chest... LOL... It like they are Stretch from Fantastic Four....

Doesnt 2k have a problem with guys looking way more brolic than they really are and live has a tendency for all the guys to look lean! The hate for this game is comical, untill ea releases gameplay i will save my comments for gameplay

Me personally I'm not hating on the game, I just have standards and high expectations that I expect the developers to meet. The only reason why people compare this to 2k is because the quality in 2k13 is light-years ahead of Live at this point.

Like someone said, I want to see Live return to being a good game. I've grown up on live and it's really sad looking at it right now. I was going to buy the game, just for old times sakes. Just because there are some people on here being honest and realistic, doesn't mean they are hating, they probably grew up on live and loved live just like you. You can't label everything you disagree with as hating. The game has not resembled basketball for two years now, longer than that if it wasn't for live 10. 2k is actually replicating basketball, while live is struggling to resemble basketball. Why lie and act like what we've seen so far looks like basketball? But if we're honest then we are ha-ter(s)

wtf was this garbage 3 yrs and this is what they came up with. Player models are trash same clunky animations. This is not a good look for Ea at all

# 107 Goffs @ 09/13/12 07:14 PM

The faces look great and the way the expressions are animated reminds me of LA Noir but the body types sucks. Some heads are just to big for the body ...

I love the shot block by Howard! See that 2k! How about some vids showing blocks like that instead of ankle breakers!

They are tight because every player has the same body, they look anorexic like live 09 but worse. I wonder what Glen Davis looks like in this game hmmmm.....

nailed it that's what it reminds me of.

The texture layer that their using for the skin style on the models are OLD. They used that old glossy texture pattern on 3d mya and it just looks OLD and out dated. Hell it looks just like live 07 with different artist.....

just looks old. Casual people, or should i say, that the casual persons eye will always OPEN wide when they see these texture glossy models. This stlye seems to always give the impression that these grapics are better than 2k....

VC/2k sports fan

Man, if Sony had kept going they could have rivaled 2K for the NBA throne. If this is what it looked like in '09 imagine what it would look like now.

You got to be joking right? I hope

Wow look at the shoulder to head ratio.

This trailer tried to mask what we already know is horrible gameplay. We saw no detailed dribble moves with defenders, no alley opps, and no jumpshots seen going through the net.

This trailer was just closeups(or replays) of some of Live's dunk animations and layups. And also passes to no one in particular. A lot of hiding in that trailer and I'm not fooled.

I also didn't like the player models or the textures. The faces look detailed, but like all sports games some will be hit or miss in accuracy.

And lastly, DELAYED INDEFINITELY? Wow. That's just a shame after almost 3 years.

# 118 strobox88 @ 09/13/12 07:45 PM

Was it just me, or did the rims and net not look realistic at all? Looks far too cartoony and arcade-like. smh..

Kinda sucks though because this trailer had it's moments, but the mix of bad totally outweighed the good.

I thought more of a black Mr. Magoo especially the facial expression.
