We're back in business.

Wow, I never would've guessed

They have that stationary dribble from 09 in there, but that freestyle dribbling is nice, if you can do all that loose dribbling in-game, that's crazy lol!!!

NBA's facebook announcement of this got thrashed by kids rooting for 2k. Here.

Double dribble.

Not exactly a well kept secret given all the hints, but good stuff nevertheless. Cover looks fine, for whatever it's worth, while Irving is a good choice given that he's an up and coming star who made his first All-Star appearance last year. It's difficult to combat the star power of LeBron James on the NBA 2K14 cover, but it remains a solid choice.

Nice to get some actual in-game footage. Not a whole lot you can glean from that, but I thought there were a couple of nice looking, fluid animations there. Like the LeBron trailer, having virtual Irving speak was a little uncanny valley, but I'd suggest that stuff is only for the benefit of the trailer. After all, NBA Live and NBA 2K are not RPGs where characters are frequently talking in the actual gameplay.

of course,it had to be kyrie man i take back the comment on the dribbling because that looks very realistic.

[SoF'nAwesome]

I like Kyrie. Maybe they can get BN next year.

Anyway, they kept it simple, cool. Only if they released it on PC

[buzzy]

Who's BN?

[SoF'nAwesome]

Sorry, it was supposed to be BK for Brandon Knight. I guess night, Brandon was playing in my head.

Seems 2K will be blasting Live on sales. And EA is not used to that if you compare it to the other sports games, i.e: Konami.

[JBulls]

lol if brandon knight was on the cover, the shot would of him getting posterized by D. Jordan

[Hiteshom]

I'm gonna get Live for sure because I wanna keep it alive, and I assume if they don't get enough sales they will not continue with it. And we all know what competition does to franchises

[SoF'nAwesome]

Don't go to continuing it yet, given history this might not come out.

[Andrew]

The situation is kind of different this year, but in all fairness that doubt probably isn't going to go away until a game actually comes out. Everything seems to be on track this year though and the responses at E3 were far more positive, to say the least.

we need to add a +1 or like button cause I completely agree

I've seen comments elsewhere that suggest some gamers are up in arms about the fact he double dribbled. I thought was the whole point; it was a virtual Kyrie Irving dribbling up to the camera, mucking around with the ball a bit as he delivered his line. Definitely a non-issue as far as I'm concerned, something for the trailer only.
