NBA Live 14 Features Team Specific Styles, Playbooks, Defenses and Authenticity

[ItsOrangeBaby]

The focus on the gameplay is sounding pretty good, but I'm really wondering about how in-depth of a franchise were going to get, what type of team up modes were getting, and just how customizable the game will be. All I know is the 4 year wait might of been worth it if they can successfully deliver what they say.

Please Please Please let them bring back the wonderful pick and roll action from live 10. The NBA game now is completely dominated by the pick and roll and live 10 had it down. That game had superior court spacing then any 2k game and the pick and roll control was so easy and masterful at the same time. Complete game changer to me if they can bring that back while adding these new features and axing the canned animation. Basketball is my life, games are my favorite hobby and the NBA 2k series is the most overrated sports franchise in history, I need this to be good lol.

Honestly, franchise modes haven't much improved in the last decade if you ignore gimmicks and eye candy. So if the mode is providing realistic generated players with balanced league strength even years deep ( which 2k didn't manage to do), that's enough for me. A nice draft interface without the stupid scouting point crap, realistic transactions/free agency and customizability of CPU controlled teams, so we can fix flaws ourselves and I'd be completely happy. They don't need spectacular new features, just keep it simple and make it work.

If they offer above average gameplay, animations and graphics, a "high" degree of customization and editability, a deep franchise/dynasty mode and a better online experience than 2K, they would be a for sure buy for me (it seems a lot but it really isnt) ... as of now and merely judging by what they say they are aiming, I am genuinely interested.

I don't think they have to be better than 2k just a good but different experience and ill buy both. But it does seem like they are aiming to Be more "sim"

Oh, I am buying 2k regardless, hehehe ... but Live, I agree, dont expect it to be better (thus would be a plus) just good and if so, is a buy !

lol yea i think i'm going to get both as well, just that i'm not getting 2k right away...its time for me to go back home, where my roots are hahaha "LIve"......ITS IN THE GAME!

when has NBA Live or NBA 2k EVER released gameplay footage in June??? they usually start releasing a lot more stuff towards the end of July or beginning of August for both companies... So we will see what happens. I've been playing NBA 2k since dreamcast, but i've been playing Live since Sega Genesis. All I can say is if we can get the same amount or BETTER realism in Live as 2k, but with more control than the animation driven 2k, I will be completely happy

Amen, brotha. I'm with you on every word you typed.

[BQ32]

So, do my comments get deleted because I say 2k was overrated? lol. Whatever, I hope this game delivers so I can play actual basketball online instead basketball cheese.

People getting mad at EA because their not showing 5 on 5 gameplay lmao!!!!!!!

Why would they show gameplay or tell us about ALL of their features and game modes before 2k has barely told us anything ....

anyway I'm looking forward to both games

Its like yall don't even want Live to succeed because TBH 2k hasn't always been that good .... they have been lazy the last 2 years and people fail to realize that 2k11 was the best in the series .... 2k12 and 2k13 are average

Actually, a NBA Live 08 gameplay video was released on June 2007. This Live 08 video was taken on June 14 (according to the video), and was posted around that time (and I'm pretty sure I saw another video from back then).

But this time around, since the release date is a little later than usual, I guess we'll have to wait more. Seems like they're a bit more cautious this year when it comes to marketing...for better or worse...

I'm still skeptical about the Live team, due to their recent history, but I'm excited about what I've heard from them so far. It's starting to sound really, really good. Looking forward to seeing some gameplay.

Re: NBA Live 14 Twitter Q&amp;A Starts Now

you should choose nba live over 2k because it won't revolve around canned animations and look like it came straight out of the PS2

we have already seen what a basketball game looks like without canned animations "nba elite". So your comment is meaningless.

That ignite engine is nice...it was enough for me to preorder NCAA football 14...it plays great and I love how physics is handled...

I don't know how it will translate to bball but its definitely an advantage over 2k if implemented correctly.
