Could be Sega are stuck with a budget and can't go full CGI. But I dunno about that since thats no excuse for the CGI in there game and they actually own their own CGI studio for movie making.

My guess the directios want to have live action wwith CGI because they visualise how the movie will appear in particular. they don't want to just have CGI because it's just "good", they need to have live action in there because it be ideal for the movie.
