NBA Live 360 gameplay video

for all the shit EA got after the first NBA2k6 pics/vids leaked out, this might actually look BETTER?!? If not, its at least just as good. They need to get rid of the kanye west cheeks on Duncan though.
 
The game looks amazing but they move waaaayyy to loose & slippery in the game. That's the main reason why I could never get into the past few years of Live. NBA2K6 still wins for me hands down.
 
Personally I think Live looks better, 2K6 has nice close ups but as far gameplay graphics go, Live is the winner right now.
 
That's way more polished than the 2K6 video. There seems to be a much less noticeable difference between in-game models and replay models in Live 360. VC, or whoever they are now, time for you to step up.
 
The camera work goes a long way in the presentation. I read in a mag that they are changing the presentation dramatically and it shows.
 
Looks like the same ol' NBA Live to me...Complete with the shitty shooting animations and current gen animations. Built from scratch my ass.
 
Except I'm actually being serious...people score like 90% of their points in the paint on me because it's like impossible to play manual defense in the game,talking online league games with other gaffers here,not the cpu.

Actually, I stayed away this year and didn't cop it. I may eventually, but b-ball is my least favorite "major" sport now in my old age, so probably not. The defensive stance button, or lackthereof, is a legitimate beef--I used that shit like crazy back when I cared about the series.
 
wow, that video of live looks fricken amazing... dare i say even better than 2k6 now. EA has really REALLY stepped it up on x360 as of late. i now consider this THE sports game for me at launch (hoping Madden can start to make these same kinds of visual leaps as this game has recently).

You could fault NBA2K6 for the exact same thing. Let's not kid ourselves, both these games will likely just be huge graphical overhauls of the current gen versions. Gameplay additions or bug tweaks would be a bonus.
 
Looks good graphically.
The pace going on in the actual game doesn't look so great though :lol

2k doesnt get a break in this either...90% of their videos looked like shit...but at least Live had 1 decent movie. I know both games werent built from the ground up though.
 
Looks good. Player faces need work, and the choppy animation kills the whole 'suspension of disbelief' thing.

I won't say which looks better 'til I've played both, however it's obvious that they both do some things better than the other.
