philly, looking at the released media and information so far, the reason EA's getting the love is because 2K simply isn't sharing. Sites like Gamersyde show what they have.
Plus, EA seems to be taking the biggest plunge this year with vastly improved graphics and (supposedly) day by day roster updates. Which is crazy good if it actually works.
2K's still my series of choice due to its unsurpassed gameplay, but who knows. With EA's resources, they were bound to catch up eventually. Maybe this is the one.
What's with the animation praise? I take the animation of a game as a whole, not just a few characters. With that, the players in the court move fair enough, but is uniform animation not part of animation now? This is something the 2K series has done since the start of this gen, and it keeps getting better. EA is stuck in the past here.
Then take a look at the sideline, not even the crowd, look at the bench and the cheerleaders specifically. Those girls move as good as a crappy animated gif missing tons of frames.
Like the first poster, I would also like to see more 2K.

I think it animates pretty poorly. Yes, it does look better than years past for Live but its still nowhere near 2K... too many herky jerky animation transitions. Whats worse is the flow of the game - way off. And, why are the players so skinny, Lebron is built like a tank in real life but here looks like hes been skipping out on alot of meals.

And how often do you look at the crowd? There is a reason the crowd is not detailed you know. Hell they look pretty damn good to me.

They look aweful, all gittery and very boring, you get a few arm waves when the player dunks....Zzzzz
Rest of the visuals of the game however look awesome. Most of the animation is fluid however problem comes when gamer controls the player then it starts to look rather dated in places, very floaty in my opinion, sudden changes in animation like running then guarding then checking looked off to me.

very few with religious beliefs are naive or zealots, but for sure don't find amusing their beliefs being thrown in for clout. maybe STFU with that discourse? (2 Weeks ago)

Pretty sure Loakum was making fun of religious naive people who thought that God and Trump have a good connection. And the most recent "Bruh..." means "Bruh, don't you get my sarcasm?" (3 Weeks ago)
