EA Sports is so lazy

This just looks awful, 2k destroyed them.

 

[Grover Cleveland]

I mean exactly what i wrote. They look really good, close up, and obviously not what your gonna be seeing while you play (cinematic cameras).

...have they released an actual gameplay video? (normal camera angles)

No, that'll be coming in a few weeks.

2K has been slowly rolling out next-gen stuff (they've still got current gen games to sell) but I imagine they'll start ramping up as we get closer to launch.

 

[Violence Jack]

LMAO

 

[rvy]

NBA Live's fate was sealed when 2k got Jordan.

 

[Hyunashi]

This gif will be all over the internet in coming days, I fear.

The NBA Live we knew is long gone.

2K has shown us the future.

Hopefully that future will include NFL2K and NHL2K

 

[Kacho]

Bouncetek

lol

Just from a crowd presentation standpoint, it looks so empty and boring. Also, Nash looks weird as fuck. It looks like he's glowing.

 

[Into]

So they showed 0.5 seconds clips of real game-play, very sneaky EA

Also why does every players have this fuzzy shine of their head, it looks really weird
Almost looks like all of them have jaggies growing out

See the game looks pretty good here actually, except that guy wearing jersey 3, he looks...lanky?

But once animation kicks in, it just falls apart for me, starts looking weird.

 

[Nakazato]

oh EA

 

[jaypah]

Owww! I said DAMN! PRE-ORDER VALIDATED!!1!!

 

[Horp]

Embarrasing. They should have scrapped it and redone it. Should probably scrap the entire engine by the looks of it.

 

[famousmortimer]

The player models and weird/slow animations kinda remind me of Sony's old shitty basketball game.

 

[CSX]

Wait, wasnt Live's edge over 2k the right stick being used for dribble moves....which 2k has been doing since last year?


Oh boy lol....

 

[MCasey]

The hell is up with his jersey?

Perfect.

 

[McDougles]

Dat next-gen defense.

 

[Gillian Seed]

2K showed gameplay yesterday that trailer was all gameplay shown from different angles, and yes it does look like that and it animates like that as well.

From the Da_Czar who gets to go out and help with gameplay from the sim community who has played it often.

I have been asked a couple times. Yes the game actually looks like that while playing. Obviously on broadcast your further away.

I will have to check out the new 2K trailer. Live has been poop for a decade. Imo But this trailer liked pretty good to me, especially the dribbling.

 

[CSX]

Dat next-gen defense.

And all of these players look like they have to stare down at the ball as they dribble like beginners too

 

[Pop]

Hopefully that future will include NFL2K and NHL2K

Oh man you don't even wanna know what I would do to get a next gen NFL2K

 

[antitrop]

Wall Guy 2013

 

[Psychological Intellect]

Dat next-gen defense.

terrible driving animation.

wtf at rudy gay's feet twitching all over the place.

 

[purpletentacle]

Dat next-gen defense.

to be fair, this is the Raptors we're talking about.

(full disclosure: I live in Toronto, I've seen this in person)

 

[Xater]

Then you should probably watch the trailer of 2K14 because it will blow your mind compared to this. The cloth physics alone blow this out of the water.

 

[dankir]

Why is his jersey floating above the back of his neck?

The animations looked very very strange. EA must of shit bricks yesterday when they say the 2k trailer.

 

[uncledonnie]

Jeez...why even bother resurrecting Live? God I wish they would lose the NFL exclusivity.

 

[Horp]

Wall Guy 2013

Looks like Jedi Academy or something.

 

[Nestunt]

just kill it ea

 

[SuicidalSteve]

Looks like Jedi Academy or something.

not like obiwan on ogxbox?

 

[Derrick01]

Dat next-gen defense.

Woah is that Live 14 or 2k13? Can't tell with that amazing defense.

 

[FantasticMrFoxdie]

(full disclosure: I live in Toronto, I've seen this in person)

Me, too ;_;

One day, we'll have a team that can defend in the paint.

 

[Into]

Wall Guy 2013

Instead of looking like legendary PG Steve Nash he looks like J.E Skeets from The Basketball Jones podcast

But at least its basketball related!

 

[sytadel]

 

[backbreaker65]

One thing I will say, "Bounce Tek" look just like it did in Live 10, looks nothing more than a marketing term to slap on a box.

 

[thiscoldblack]

"Kill me.."

Those clothing physics. Looks like he has a backpack inside his jersey.

 

[CSX]

God the ball suddenly stops spinning when it enter the hoop bugs me to no end. At least fix that EA.

 

[Mahonay]

Can't get over how bad the player models are, as well as the rim physics. How does this happen? They clearly knew they were going to be up against stiff competition.

 

[SmoothRunningGun]

They really need to go the $20 downloadable version route. I hope it doesn't get canceled. Competition is good even if it's a blow-out at this point.

 

[LingeringRegime]

Time to Ignite my pre order for this game out back.

 

[GameSeeker]

Given that NBA Live is only launching on next gen consoles, it shouldn't be held back by last gen console limitations. Yet, the footage looks last gen in lighting, animation, physics and character models.

It's clear to me 2K14 is where I will spend my money.

EA should delete every copy of the Ignite engine and use Frostbite 3 instead or start from scratch

 

[Gillian Seed]

Then you should probably watch the trailer of 2K14 because it will blow your mind compared to this. The cloth physics alone blow this out of the water.

Damn! Yeah that trailer is Outstanding! Harden looks Perfect! Is Xbone supposed to look the same?

 

[purpletentacle]

Me, too ;_;

One day, we'll have a team that can defend in the paint.

Rudy Gay was on my flight from LA a month ago, I debated whether I should say anything to him. Eventually I mustered up the courage to tell him that I think his inclusion on the team will be a good thing for the Raptors.

As I was walking away, I thought to myself, "Why did you say that? He's gonna be traded by mid-season."

This is why I don't talk to celebrities. I have nothing good to say, lol.

 

[LingeringRegime]

Bouncetek, ignite, dem feature buzz words.

I think except for UFC none of the footage we have seen of their Ignite games has been impressive. Either that engine sucks or their teams had way too little time to make anything decent with it.

 

[Wonder Cheese]

Sometimes you gotta look closer for the next gen difference. Like the way that guy traveled at :32 and didn't get called for it. Real life NBA next gen goodness.

 

[Mahonay]

As far as we know it should. NBA2K gets shown on PS4 only due to a marketing deal with Sony.

 

[dskillzhtown]

Embarrasing. They should have scrapped it and redone it. Should probably scrap the entire engine by the looks of it.

I wouldn't say they should scrap it all. It is the first game for the series that they are going to try and build on. I think we all knew it was a starting point. I think their biggest issue is they keep showing these close-ups and non-gameplay angles when the game doesn't look good in those situations. If the ball physics and intelligent AI player movement are the best parts of the game, show that. Showing close ups when you competition is much better with the models is not smart.

I generally get tired of these "gameplay trailers" that don't show any gameplay.

 

[MarshMellow96]

So the basketball fans on this forum can see right through this shit - will the average basketball fan do the same?

I can see EA digging those fucking UT virtual crack-claws in no matter how shit the game is.

 

[suddenlyissoon]

Basically EA's response to NBA 2k

 

[Love Deterrence]

to be fair, this is the Raptors we're talking about.

(full disclosure: I live in Toronto, I've seen this in person)

Thank you for taking Rudy Gay off our hands... (Kyle Lowry is the one pictured, but Rudy Gay's defense is definitely being played.)

*Averages 17 points on 18 shots, Grizzlies get shit on for making trade*

 

[jack..]

Man, that is embarrassing. I can't help but feel a little bad for EA sports for having to show this after the 2K14 trailer.

 

[VanWinkle]

Seriously, they only have to worry about next-gen versions, and THIS is what they come up with?!
