It's basing the product on the video game court so that it mirrors what happens on the real court. If that isn't SIM what is? All we hear from developers are how they are trying to make games as SIM as possible. There will be game levels and honestly I wouldn't mind a arcade and SIM option for gamers. I think people undervalue the act that not having the game tuned to be sim out of the box is the reason why SIM gamers struggle to get a solid SIM product every year.

I call it like I see it. I would never call you dumb but your points on this issue are plain dumb. You want to force gamers into two boxes at best (casual and sim) instead of providing them with an option to customize the game to their liking.

With Madden 15 & EA UFC being way better than I anticipated and couple that with what I've seen with Nba Live up to this point, I'm gonna give this team the benefit of the doubt.

I'd rather them spend a few more weeks fine-tuning/tweaking things than to push out a buggy unfinished mess.

you'd be surprised what an extra month of development time can do for a sports game. I support any developer that pushes for a delay to work out the kinks and get it working how they wanted it too. I think the gameplay looks promising.

The player movement and spacing looks pretty solid and it's nice to see the players attempt to get open even without you controlling it. LeBron's jumper looked spot on and Harden's drive was pretty nice. The animation was a little wonky, but it's Live, the game looks wonky all the time. I don't think all hope is lost, but the outlook is bleak. Hopefully they can pull it together because I really do want to see Live make a comeback.

the players who have the ball look the nicest in these vids. The players without the ball look a little stiff, but again, this is light years better than 14 in every sense of the word. When Live 10 was made, I just wanted them to use that engine and tweak it year after year, and I think we're getting to that point again where it will be as fun as Live 10 again, if not, more fun. Will be buying on day1. Good for them delaying it. Delaying can only bring improvements.

Looks like you don't understand what's going on here, they added 500 animations for driving alone, who told you they didn't add animations in others departements of the game??
also a quick look at the clips/trailer clearly show new animations for defense, contest, jumpost and all please think a bit before posting next time

It is very telling that they've waited this long to release any footage, and still only give us three 15 second clips (which are underwhelming to say the least). I really don't see how they could possibly be making any big improvements in 3 weeks.

You'd be surprised what that extra time can do for a big crew

What are you planning to tweak and/or add to the game with additional dev time? Sean: We'll be fine-tuning aspects of control and responsiveness, animation quality, player AI, presentation, and game balance.

That is what they are plan on improving. My take is everything is not playing as it should be when it should be or flowing as we would expect. So instead of the immediate backlash to patch they will try to patch/fix for release.
