Thoughts?
I think i 'll give it a shot if its 20$

[XPviper]

Well, to me, graphics look much better than 2k's and those player faces look much better than what we have seen from 2k13 videos.. Other than that we cannot see much from this trailer. 2k13's trailer looked much better gameplay-wise, but for 20 dollars (or whatever it's going to cost here in Europe) I will surely gonna give it a shot

[Leftos]

Not much to take out of this trailer really. Mostly one-player animations, and I'm not really impressed. No mention of platforms either, so the DLC vs Retail debate will go on.

At least it's ...something.

Let's wait and see what else comes out as far as info goes.

[shadowgrin]

Jerseys look terrible.
Players look like they leak of oil instead of sweat.

[JaoSming]

THIS, is a video to take with a grain of salt.....


....wait, did I just say that?


Some of the footage is from this video from E3



And the net/player sweat/fog effects makes it look CG, something EA's done before for "in-game" footage - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iu7Q8PgWQkw

IF, those are the graphics though, And even though I would still drop $60 on this, at $20 Jao, Want.

Some rumors r that game don't come out Oct. 2

[Leftos]

Not rumors anymore.

Guys this is the same trailer they had running at E3 months ago so this STILL isn't the finished product yet. I remember the same things playing in the background during an interview that hiphopgamer from youtube was doing. It can only get better here if they still have a month to work on it. One thing I do like is the faces are very spot on compared to 2k. At least we can have that this year lol.

You can see the footage above in my post that was copy pasted, but I'm pretty sure EA didn't have the proper insider information to have Dwight and Nash on the Lakers or Lin on the Rockets in advance to show it at E3. Someone probably would have leaked those details.

[benji]

That's why the game doesn't look any better than the E3 build, they had all been locked up in a vault until the Dwight trade finally happened.

[JaoSming]

lovin the song too

I didn't even catch that I was just looking at the carmelo clip and the player movements and it looked tha same to me but your probly right Jao. With the game not coming out on Oct.2 though that still may give them some time.

Who I Be - Crap

Someday maybe they'll take out the hip hop and put in some real music.

luckily for you there are presentation sliders and Xbox Music Player

Lmao A Pierce's face, seems accurate

[shorty_ubk]

Awesome faces, looking really awesome but i can't say that about jerseys and bodies... but at least they show something...

[kendz4494]

Skin and faces look way better than 2ks.but models look ugly

[jenz]

The presentation is amazing, but gameplay looks cheap. It's disappointing after seeing some 2k videos.

[bluesteel]

it looked like kobe was having a heart attack?

anybody heard of "skinny" jerseys? =)

textures looked ok, at least something diff from 2k's.

[Pdub]

The thing that bothers me is that gameplay is one of their focus points this year and they showed none of it. It was pretty much all close ups of one player animations.

Anyway, it's great to finally see something.

[cdj]

It's tough to tell much since it didn't feature gameplay, but the animations looked worlds different than the leaked video from a few weeks ago.

The faces looked pretty impressive, but there's something about the shoulders/upper body that EAC and now Tiburon just can't get right in the player models. It seems like larger shoulders don't look muscular, but like inflated mounds of fat.

The movement of fingers and hands on shots was not in the leaked video and is a minor aspect that improves the visuals. Though, it seems the rim does not move on some/most dunks, reducing the visual feel of weight on slam dunks. While it didn't move on early dunks in the video, it definitely did on the slam by Rudy Gay later on but not in the final big slam (IIRC by LeBron).

I'm assuming the arenas shown at the start are some of the accurate ones within the game (Orlando, Miami, OKC, LAL, CHI). That will be an underrated aspect that fans of each team (or hardcore NBA fans) will really appreciate.

We don't have much to go on, but visually overall I thought the game looked pretty sharp in this teaser video.

[Pdub]

The official EASPORTS youtube video on it has more dislikes than views.

[JaoSming]

its the "300" view glitch, if a video gets over 300 views in the first day or so, it just stays put there for a while then gets updated sporadically.

[Lean]

Jon, I think you should put your #NBALive13Optimist on your custom title to spread the love.

Faces for NBA Live has always been better than 2K's but I can't say the same about the player models they used. Also no 'team play' clip, just one-second animations per player.

[Nick]

It amazes me how little progress EA have made over the past 7 years. I wonder if the working environment there is negative?

More like reboot, reboot, reboot, with 3 year plans that worked out once.

[kendz4494]

Only thing they need to fix on the graphics are the jerseys and models other than that live looks really realistic. Even the ball looks so nice.

Really? What about the players' shoulders? Or the lack of face emotion during the dunks?

[homicide1550]

Yep, the face are top notch but the models look really awful.

Thats why i said models look bad

[Pdub]

My mistake. I read it as "models look realistic" somehow.

[mlp111]

very poor representation of basketball, looks horrible from a fundamental aspect, players moving soo stiff, the jerky lagg framerate issue is still present, this just looks bad all the way around, only way i'll even think about getting this is if it on ps vita, looks terrible! THAT JUST ISN'T BASKETBALL MAN!

[Yo1]

i would be satisfied if this game come up as improvement over NBA Live 10! We all knows who is DA KING, but somehow i love to have more NBA games, even if one is 10/10, and other is 4/10 rating! I will play both no matter what. Also i don't care much about bad player models/jerseys we could see on this video. I want some addictive gameplay, even if it's not pure simulation like 2k games. Bring us back old school Live game! Game that we all play when we are youngsters. I don't think that EA can compete with 2k in best basketball simulation contest, but i know that EA can make some badass interesting & attractive game, that we gonna buy and play when we get bored with 2k13...

[Andrew]

I recognised some of the clips from the E3 demonstrations as well, I was hoping we'd see something a bit more recent. There certainly were some stiff animations there which I hope they have or will be able to polish a bit more before the game comes out. A couple of the dunks looked nice, I liked the block by Dwight Howard (perhaps that's from a later build than some of the other clips?) but yeah, animations need some work.

Faces look fine, body models are a bit off and the lighting/sweat effects are a bit too oily/plastic-like. If they can fix some of the animations, the controls are responsive and the game plays OK then I can get around stuff like that, but that is certainly stuff that needs work. Seeing as how we've been able to edit the lighting in previous NBA Lives on PC, I'm guessing they could do some work with that before the game goes gold. Models will probably have to wait another year though.

It seems like there'll be some good stuff in there, something with potential at least, but more polish is required. Again, I was hoping we'd see some more up to date clips in the trailer, if there's something a bit more polished in the studio at the moment then it would be a good move to show that. Like I said the Howard block looked a little better than some of the other clips in my opinion, so that's perhaps a promising sign.

[Jhiane]

atleast, they don't hate the Orlando Magic. I can't see any highlights from the Magic in 2k13 trailer

[J@3]

Presentation is nice, animations look shit. Players all look malnourished. Probably won't bother.

[Andrew]

There's no one left to produce highlights.

[hrz94]

I don't think the light effects are bad, but sometimes in the video like when there's Chandler, it's like there's no effect (sweat, light) on his skin because he's darker than the other or I don't know, and that makes it strange. Then about the jerseys? they're looking good though it's hard to do it like in real life, like in 2k it looks good too but it's not the same art design or I don't know...
And the models are good but it depends on the animation, like when Kobe doing the movement, it doesn't look realist to me for example, but in other parts of the video it looks good! I think we gotta wait for gameplay video I suppose before doing any judgement on this game

Oh snap.
