Prepare to be upset then but post after post of the same crap and biases around here is so old especially for a game that no one has even played.

I dont expect the trailer to prove anything to me at this point which is why EVERYONE is asking for gameplay videos because I definitely dont think with all of this stuff with powder on top is going to stop people from remembering what we did see that was raw

Spoiler

I dont care about pictures of shoes and arenas when that's all I've REALLY seen. The doctored up videos and pictures mean absolutely nothing at all at this point and doesn't show me anything I want to know, and even in that I could point out a ton of things but that's not my focus.

I can give you a video or 2 or more of a one man fastbreak. Its not throwing the ball to a guy at the 3point line and he takes it in

Its more like
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=F6qxifpg16E
and this
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NJjMXiLj2hg

and that doesnt even cover the basic 3 on 2, 2 on 1, etc..

The passing was nothing flashy, you didnt see where it was going (on purpose) and as playmakers said its just the same passes sped up (which is fine but ) those are just examples of what im saying, not trying to bash or smash, but im taking time to make a valid constructive post and not go on with this live sucks stuff and ea needs to quit now bologna.

Im just pointing out very simple things, not just taking what you throw at me as face value. Some of those things have been plagues for so many years... is it really too much to ask to see this stuff in live gameplay at this point?

..and I dont know if its for me or not, thats for my money to determine, not your opinion. Don't try to put the focus on me, im here talking about the game and what they showed, its my opinion of it because they put it out there for me to see...

I would like to see a better example of a fastbreak tho, to truly believe they've been fixed.

All the vids they release it makes you really question why they are hiding this game.

This is some great stuff they have put out almost everytime.

You got it all wrong man....

Some of us have no loyalty to either b-ball game.

In fact there are a few die hard Live fans who are vividly upset over the direction of the game and the lack of progress despite taking 2 years off.

I can't speak for everyone but I'm not here to bash the game....trust me I would love for EA to hit a home run or release a solid game this year because I haven't played a basketball game long term since Live 10.

I'm just expressing my dissatisfaction with some of the gameplay issues I've seen year after year with this series and to now have it on Next Gen consoles and still produce sub par animations and player movements that just rubs me the wrong way.

If they can't give us a legitimate upgrade in those two aspects of gameplay I'm afraid to see what is going to happen when we have to rely on Synergy to represent the games AI on the floor.

It's not about bashing the game for some us it's about giving us something for once to feel good about the direction of the franchise again....

And showing me a video of passes that are sped up compared to recent versions of the game doesn't qualify as a upgrade or gameplay improvement IMO.....showing me basic one handed passes by top rated PG's doesn't exactly make me jump off my couch and scream hell yea.....

That's all I got out of that video was some basic fundamental basketball stuff that EA decided to showcase.

If they want to IMPRESS us why not show the CPU AI breaking down his man and then getting into the paint and setting up his big man for a lob or dunk.....

Show me a perimeter stopper like Tony Allen working hard on defense and not just hopping side to side brainless in the same manner as the other 4 defenders on his team.....

Show me some PNR action where players have to fight through a screen and we can see contact on the perimeter and how the action plays out the same way you showcased your in the paint contact....

How about letting us see J.J. Reddick or Ray Allen types move without the ball to get open for a 3-pt shot instead of showing us videos where guys just stand motionless and wait for the ball to arrive.....

You see all this stuff has been constant before with EA....they trot out their HYPE TRAILER showcasing things they want us to see and hope it takes away the attention from the things that have plagued the series for the past decade.

It's called trust and when a franchise takes two years off and then promises their fan base they are doing every thing possible to get the series back on the right track yet proceeds to release one sub par video after another (and that is my opinion) then you start to lose patience and give up on them at some point especially if they can't even give us a game on NEXT GEN consoles that doesn't animate or move right.

While I can definitely see improvements in graphics and animations from last years version, that's not saying much as last years version was trash in those respects. Unless your just rooting for nba live to be good, I really don't see anything in that video worth getting excited about because there is another bball game out there that basically does everything much better.

The beauty of competition is that we don't have to settle for EA "getting better," but hold ea to the very high standards set, and expect excellence out of them in every area of there basketball game before spending another dime on their product.
