NBA Live 09 still looks… awkward
The NBA Live series was once the dominant basketball franchise back in the 16-bit days. But for years now it has been overshadowed by 2K Sports’ NBA 2K series. Each year Electronic Arts makes new promises, and each year they’re still a few steps behind.
This new gameplay video accentuates many of the series’ flaws. Most notable is the animation, thanks to the slow-motion speed of the video. While the animation is serviceable, it still feels like a PS2/Xbox game, and not a current-gen title. Along the same lines, check out the crowd in the background of some shots. They look not only fake, but horribly animated. Sure, crowd graphics are hardly a focus in a sports title, but for a sport like basketball where you are mere feet from the crowd, a bad crowd can be very distracting.
Oh well EA Sports, there’s always next year.
