You can, um, work your way around that problem.

I know competition is great and all, but I feel EA should just drop Live and put more time and money into FIFA, NFL, and NHL. At most release a Live 15 so 2K won't be too lazy for 2K15. 2K14 is great but there are a lot of customization and details missing in the game. Improve Live 15 enough for 2K to make 2K15 amazing, then just leave.

NFL and FIFA are great series from EA. NFL has no competition, and FIFA seems to be improving while PES was a slight back step in some parts for this year. Put more money and time into the other sports games so we have a good game for each Next-Gen sports genre. That would make me a happy camper.

was gonna get it, now highly doubtful

Can't say I'm surprised the game sucks. The last time I had any type of fun with an NBA Live game was like '07 and that's because it was fun spamming the arcadey Freestyle Superstars crap.

EA basketball is at an all-time low. Now they're TRYING to match 2K's realism approach but failing terribly.

Lol. I can't stop laughing.

Not good times when we could have spent 60 bucks on giving to a charity instead of this crap

Great review. Absolutely 100% spot on and it must have taken some big balls to hammer a major company like EA with a 3.5. Full marks to you for saying it like it is. Post 'patch', none of the flaws have been fixed. Worse still, months of "feedback" has been basically ignored (time outs, subbing, cameras not working, low frame rates, generic players all through rewind games and on and on) I played a rewind challenge where you had to beat the spurs "without the big 3" and, 5 mins into the game they ALL were playing. WTF. This is amateur hour stuff. I played the Kings when Cousins was out and they had a 5 foot generic point guard at center. WTF.


I trusted the patch would fix these things and kept the game on that basis. Hell no. A lighting tweak and a half hearted practise mode where I can't even practise things like post moves or plays. Welcome to 2006.


Speaking of 2006, the producer then says "we gave you a patch and that's a first in the gaming world". WTF. Is this guy in a time warp or something? Every game release extensive patches nowadays. This game's develper is acting like it's a world first. Let me just check the year again, yeah it's 2014. This game and the team have got to be in 2006. Seriously. They are stuck in some time trap or something and are sitting there thinking "post game patch and a limited practise mode = revolutionary".


Well done to the reviewer for going hard. 3.5 is fair.

Post patch this game is no longer a 3.5. Just FYI . I hated this game at launch. Now I play it every day
