Would like to know this as well. This is really vital.

Looks a lot better. I'll play the demo, go from there. Still think they need another year to really compete with 2k but I believe they'll be around for awhile now.

lol when I said this, I was thinking about games in general. I should have thought about it in terms of sports games.

They were going to get overshadowed on Oct 7th by 2k, so this is a solid business move by EA even if some of you don't like it. By that time people will have found a bug they hate in 2k, or a shoe they want that isn't included, that makes the game unplayable and might want to give Live a shot.

Plus having it come out on the opening night for the NBA is a great time to throw a bunch of ads out there to get people excited.

Those clips looked solid and I'll definitely give the Live demo a shot even though I have 2k15 pre-ordered.

EA doesn't have a great track record this gen, but the Live guys have been pretty straight forward with the community so I'll give these guys the benefit of the doubt.

Ugh I wish the game played well because they absolutely nailed the look and feel of The Q. That floor is spot on.

If anyone doesn't want to click 3 videos https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wEtn0VW1AXc&feature=youtu.be I put together all 3 and fix the video quality a bit even though it doesn't fix the game that much lol

The Live 15 clips look marginally better from a gameplay perspective. There is still a good bit of that Live stiffness though. I will need some stick time to actually judge how much better it plays. I did like that Harden hesitation dribble. The crowd looks and sounds great, as I expected. I'm not sure what to think about the game delay. By October 28th I'll be waist deep in great games (Madden, Destiny, and NBA2K) with GTA V on the horizon. I'm almost certainly skipping on Live this year.

The same play call posted for all three videos. Nice!!! Lol. Very scripted/calculated clips put out by the Live Team.

It looked a little better but again some of the animations seemed like last years game which was the worst basketball game I ever bought.

# 130 Rockie_Fresh88 @ 09/08/14 07:16 PM

I like the footplanting and some of the contextual animations on drives.

# 131 The 24th Letter @ 09/08/14 07:18 PM

Yeah it could've very well been low difficulty or set up to showcase what they wanted to showcase...like you can tell the user got out of LBJs way so he could drive...but those defenders just standing there threw me off, I thought maybe they got picked at first...

Hope the off ball A.I isn't brain dead with all this new movement..

# 132 RipCityAndy @ 09/08/14 07:20 PM

I played a TON of Live 14. Here are a couple of things that concern me about these clips:

1. Passing still looks wonky. If you played 14, you know what I mean.
2. The jumping animations in clip 2 and 3 look terrible. Notice Howard in clip three and Love in clip two. It looks rigid, warpy, and unnatural.
3. The ball handler movement was awkward and clunky in 14. Notice how little these clips show the ball handler freely navigating the court. Ball handlers are (mostly) either in "bounce tek" animations or gathering for a layup/dunk. Makes me worry that they are scared to show off movement...

Some things that look good:

1. LBJ's jump shot animates very well.
2. The contest to LBJ's jump shot looked nice and appears to have affected the shot.
3. The graphics look vastly improved even when viewing on the low resolution video.

Just 3 weeks. Relax ppl....Should be more upset about how them gameplay videos looked.

# 134 da ThRONe @ 09/08/14 07:22 PM

Personally this delay does nothing for my overall decision to get this game or not. It certainly isn't good that they have to deviate from the deadline, but I continue to be impress with the little bit of the game I'm getting to see.

Agree, IMO the best courts (without counting mods) and colors I've seen. It's a shame that gameplay and animations are still so raw.

Agreed. more involved offball movement would've made this look better. I don't think it looked bad though.

I did like Kyrie Irving's defense stance against Beverly. now that didn't look stiff

why is everyone so mad? go check on the nhl 15 forums. we would have LOVED for that game to be delayed, instead we are getting an incomplete game.

# 138 nick_sr @ 09/08/14 07:28 PM

watched it on youtube on the ps4, graphics look great!!!! no worries there!!! just worried about a few things like i had mentioned before.

# 139 KyotoCarl @ 09/08/14 07:28 PM

This is VERY unimpressive. The game being delayed is, first of all, a bad sign.

The videos isn't up to next gen levels at all. Still the stiff Live feel from last year, and the visuals makes it look like an arcadey video game.

# 140 TCFClemson @ 09/08/14 07:29 PM

The crowd is one of the most disappointing parts of that video for me.
