Live 14 can compete with 2k if they deliver a simulation game. Presentation wise they are on par with 2k because of the ESPN integration. If the live ball works, the dribbling will be lightyears ahead of 2k's. The real-time physics that comes with the Ignite Engine is already better than 2k, unless 2k has secretly built a new engine (which is hard to believe considering that they haven't improved many gameplay issues since 2k10).

In my opinion, Live 14 will compete as long as it doesn't completely strike out, and I dont see that happening because everything sounds so good so far. We haven't had a really great basketball game since 2k9 (totally subjective as far as preference, but true as far as simulation goes).

Then if you consider all of the things EA already has like GameFace, probably the EASBL (safe guess considering the fact that FIFA and NHL have it), Ultimate Team, Live 14 really has potential to be great.
