NBA Live is Dead

My goodness... the next-gen basketball war is turning into a massacre.

NBA Live has made a bunch of trailers (20, to be exact) and hype on IGN.com about its new features--Hot Spots, refined post moves, string-together dribbling, and what they call "Sizzle," or dynamic player interactions & movements.






Seems mildly impressive, and the game does look good. But my goodness-- all NBA 2K8 put out was 3 videos of its gameplay... and I'm sold. NO sports video game looks and moves quite as realistically as this...




Sadly enough...the only thing that's come out of EA in a while that I've got any respect for... is this picture. At least if their software fails, they have a fall-back in high priced desktop backgrounds.
