like for example why this game struggles to perform (30fps issue in baseline cameras) only runs at 60fps when in sideways cams....and what is Ignite and what does it do exactly ?

I'm not sure that Scott will be able to answer all the technical questions as he's not a programmer, but we'll see what we can do. IGNITE is the game engine that EA is using for its sports titles on this generation and has been covered at length, but if there are any specific questions about it, I suppose we could ask them. From memory, we did ask Scott some questions about that stuff in the first interview we conducted:

As far as the new engine/NBA Live 13 stuff is concerned, I don't think those statements have to be mutually exclusive and I'm actually inclined to believe that both are true. In other words, they inherited a tough situation with NBA Live 13, which isn't surprising given the false starts beginning with NBA Elite 11. However, they have new tech in place for this generation, not just for NBA Live but also their other sports titles. Unable to overhaul absolutely everything in one production cycle, they've had to re-use some NBA Live 13 assets, which in turn means the IGNITE engine isn't being used to its full potential yet.
At least, that's my understanding of the situation, given everything that's been said. The tech is there, it's just not being utilised to its full capabilities. Other EA titles on IGNITE seem to be doing better with it, probably because they haven't had the same turmoil and turnover behind the scenes...the inherited mess from NBA Live 13 that's been talked about. So yeah, I'm not inclined to say it's a lie because I do feel there's likely truth in both statements, but it definitely could've been communicated better to say the least.
