not sure where you got that idea. elite 11 was a completely different game than live 10. live 13 was a completely different game than live 10. they stated that live 14 is a completely different game than live 13. each game had a different team and different leaders so they werent doing the same things.

it would have been nice if all that time and money was spent on a single iteration, but they said that live 14 was done in a single dev cycle.

They said so, man. When they announced the cancelations, they pretty much said that they needed more time to make the games better. What they have said sense was to complement that directive.

They've got the tools now to do more with the game than ever, the goal was to get the game out and they've pretty much achieved that goal. The feedback positive or negative can only help them for future basketball games they put out.

But Asking 4 a full feature length game to be 10,20 bucks cheaper is a inappropriate request cuz a Development Cycle isn't cheap.

How do you even know half of this?

All we know is Live ignored having players actually look human and dribbling outside of static size up animations. If you want to speculate about anything that Live seems to have ignored, it's everything outside of dribbling at the perimeter.

Not to mention that 2K was built upon a much more playable core game than Live's unreleasable messes.

Anyone with "two eyes and a brain cell" can tell that 2K worked extensively on a core gameplay that looks good and plays good. They just didn't have as much work to do as Live did, which anyone with two eyes and a brain cell can tell looks terrible and will probably play mediocre at best but as a best case scenario might be something to build on.

Some of you guys are nuts. Don't assume your baby's a genius just because he's ugly.

It's 6 days before release and this game still has zero gameplay footage 5 on 5...I'm officially not getting it period. They don't even have enough confidence in their product to show real footage of it in game.

Still have that fake Kyrie commercial on television now on TNT and NBATV, this is a joke and insult to gamers and NBA Live fans who have been hoping for a solid return.

I am getting a free copy sent to me by next Wednesday on PS4, even though I'm getting Xbox One first, I will just sell it to a friend or Ebay, because even if I had a PS4, I'd still sell this game. Get rid of it, while the price value is still high and trade it in towards a Titan Fall reserve or something.

We actually have seen footage of FIFA, and the demo is all over Gamestop kiosks...just sayin..

Guess what? We still haven't seen any direct capture footage of FIFA or Madden either. There's been very little direct capture footage for ANY next gen title. I wouldn't exactly say that's an indictment of anything other than weird marketing decisions by these publishers.

Madden no but FIFA yes. I have seen 2 lengthy videos, including one on OS. The FIFA team has nothing to hide evidenced by letting the posters upload it to youtube and speak freely about the game.
