NBA Live 15 Video and Blog - Offensive Improvements

Yeah, not feeling this at all.

Why does the graphics always look so downgraded during regular gameplay like this?

I do like the look of the crowd here as usual but its always oh well last year the game was nothing, but THIS year.

This is a division of a for profit company. They have shareholders to answer to. This isn't for fun. They are very much competing to increase their market share that 2K has taken over from them.

It would be an impossible expectation for them to top 2K in sales. They know that and have spoken of such several times this year. It's all about the BIG picture for EA at this point. Baby steps, and by next year they could very well be competing with 2K at this time next year. And then possibly overtaking them in 2017..

As a basketball fan, having two basketball games is awesome and regardless of which one you like better, at least you have a choice! Most sports have one title and one title only to choose from. I am going to get both and hopefully enjoy both!

I agree I hope live have strong sales along with 2k competition is always a win win for us.

The market for robotic basketball is there, but it's small.... so they can polish "their style" to no end, but unless they redo the crappy animations in favor of realism, they will never overtake. A majority of gamers just won't go for this... i guess we all know that by now form the mass shift to 2K over the years.

To each his own. So, Live better be happy with the tiny marketshare if they want to continue with their signature style.

Definitely looks better, but still need to see it unedited, just actions/plays/interactions happening in real time.

The potential is there, more than last year, that's for sure. Will it remain just a potential? Gameplay videos might tell.

i agree, sticking to the roots while adding on something new will be the best thing for this franchise...i don't mind waiting a lil longer if they going to help the game looks better, it seems like its the norm now for games to be delayed so that they can work on it longer.
