NBA Live 15 Cover Athlete is Damian Lillard

Color me impressed and intrigued! You have my attention EA. I'll be following Live closely awaiting gameplay now.

Congrats to Damian Lillard. If Live wanted to go for the throat with their graphical overhaul, they would put up screenshots of the same players/venues that were released in the screen shots of their competitor, to show and prove that their improved player graphics are on par (or better).

Its almost like they think they have an ace up their sleeve at this point in the competition. I'm excited either way for the "battle" ahead.

They are competing against themselves now. 2k has hit global popularity. Live has to become relevant again and I hope that starts soon

I can't believe how so many of you guys fall for the same tricks every year. The game is a little over a month away from release and we have yet to see any gameplay footage. But yet some of you guys are all in no matter what. This is a tale tale sign that this game will disappoint on all fronts. Yes it might look better, but I promise you that the gameplay will still be as crappy as ever. That is why they won't show any real gameplay footage.

If you go to the ea sports website: http://www.easports.com/nba-live/new...e3-open-letter , and read that letter, you will see their main focus this year was scanning to get better graphics. That's mainly it. And they bearly mention gameplay improvements. They just skim over it a little bit. My guess it will play a hell of a lot like NBA Live 14 and that's not a good thing. But it will just look like a next-gen game this time. That's pretty much what we can expect.

Come on guys stop being so brainwashed.... it's so obvious what they are doing!!!!!!!!

Personally, I'm not sold without extensive raw gameplay but conjecture such as yours is unneeded. There is still time, it's not like it's October. Maybe when it is and if there's nothing of substance by then, I'll be worried.

Super impressed with how Lilliards Arm/body looks in that screenshot. wow. the arm looks real, while 2ks look pretty gumb-ish.
I think 2k has the better faces, though. Live's faces are ashy. lol

Nothing to compare really....all we have right now are distance arena shots, a few scans and Dame Lilliard pics to be honest.. Up until Oct of last year we all thought the Kyrie shots we were getting were going to be the standard and they weren't....so i'm a bit wary still....

Been wondering what the preview guy meant by "graphics are better, but not quite there yet" as well...makes me wonder about how the game animates...

We shall see when/if gameplay drops...more than happy to be worried about nothing

I'm not worried about the graphics at all

Animations are another story
