NBA Live 14 Screenshots - Kyrie Irving Facial Scan Renders

[iverson_2k]

Well I know of at least two people who played the demo at E3 and they said the game looks nothing like De'Andre Jordan CGI trailer they showed. They said the graphics would make you do a double take. Also, they said the gameplay is extremely smooth. However, this was the same demo where they show Kyrie just dribbling the ball behind Scott O'Brien while Mike Conley interviewed him. Not sure how it will play when its 5 vs. 5. But the game seems to be moving in the right direction.

I think the claymation of live 08 and 09 and the bad player models and over shine of live 10 would disagree with you. Their best looking gen 3 games were also the worst in animation with live 06 and 07.

The screen shots look dope. If you notice there is a different haircut or at least different shapeup between the two pics. Since they are talking about updating accessories and haircuts maybe they were showing how minimal the differences can be ? IDK all I know is it looks good.

Also looking forward to EA's take on menus' It may seem small but I have always loved what they do with their logos in their menu's etc. Just having a fresh take on things means I'm getting live no matter what. Just to see what's new and fresh.

These renders are magnificent. I'm lookng forward to seeing what they bring to the table this year. Neither 2k nor Live have brought anything substantial to the table for next gen consoles. So we wait it out. Live isn't competing with the current gen 2k, so no reason to jump the gun and let their info sit there and get stale. But for those of you who say they have something to prove and need to release info now to gain those people who don't know Live, or who are on the fence... is it really going to sway you if it's released now vs a bombardment of information closer to release? No, not in my eyes at least. To each their own though.

Asinine is unnecessarily harsh. As you said to each his own. To say there is nothing to gain is again your sole opinion. With the failings of the previous two releases they need to gain my willingness to embrace the product.?

2k doesn't need to do this because of the track record. Live could have released some footage without "flooding" us with it. At present time I have only marginal thoughts that say this will be remotely competitive. They could have certainly created some positive buzz and momentum with some legitimate footage.

Would it matter now vs closer to release. Sure. Right now I'm planning on the games I will buy at launch and have actually pres ordered a couple. Live is not on my list to purchase. However some footage might have an impact. It doesn't have to get stale. Just give us somethin!

I've seen this movie before and I don't like the way it ends :-(

I said asinine in my eyes. I didn't say "it's asinine". That's a harsh statement. That's judging everyone else's opinion. I'm saying that in my opinion, they have nothing to gain. You say you won't buy it even if they come out 1 week before release and show you a game that is a great simulation? Do they need to go forth and show their cards just because? I don't think so. You do.

Regardless, whenever they release info, I'll be here to watch it. If it warrants a purchase based on when they release the information, I'll buy it. It's as easy as that.

If they release information today that says "purchase me", it doesn't increase my desire to buy it. To be honest, my excitement would probably be curtailed by seeing some 2k information a little closer to time.

I want 2 basketball games to provide a good experience.

2k hasn't showed anything on next gen either. So basing your decision to purchase on next gen, based on their last gen performance I think is nearly equally as tough, unless they say the gameplay is a port. Yes they've released some good games, but then again, so had Live04 & 05 on xbox/ps2 prior to the 360 release of the new engine, and we all saw how that worked out for them.

Asinine in my eyes, I've been down this road before, I don't need fancy videos 2 months before release, show me some good information closer to release, and I'm good.

Why do people keep asking stuff like this? Of course people are gonna be more weary of a company who have had so many problems to the point of having to skip three game cycles. EA has way more to prove.

I'm not saying that people shouldn't be wary. But they have stated that we will see footage before the end of summer. It's not the end of summer yet, and people are still speculating and writing it off. It's a new team, a new set of consoles that aren't even out yet, and we haven't seen any next-gen footage from the other side either. Madden went from Madden '05 on the XBox/PS2 to the disappointment of Madden '06 on the 360. What's to stop NBA 2k14 on the PS4/XBO from being just like that?

I'm simply asking: Why the double-standard?
