NBA Live 14 Screenshot of John Wall

Re: NBA Live 14 Screenshot of John Wall

The truth has been spoken, this is what I call constructive criticism, not just hating anything EA does to hate it. Because it seems like that's what's really going on around this thread.

I mean that is actually a pretty good looking picture and Kyrie Irving's stance doesn't looked hunchbacked to me, but there is a slight tilt that makes it look really defensive

Looking at past lives and seeing raymond felton in that video in the exact same stance and shuffling his feet like he was doing the mc hammer typewriter dance while hunched over is the reason for the hunchback concern....not just based off of one screen shot.

You can dismiss whatever you want to as hate (which really doesn't invalidate anyone's point) but that's an issue they've had for a long time. You forget people's requests for fixes were largely ignored over the years and it's looking like some of the same stuff is still there. If its not then you explain to me why thing like the same defenaive stance is in that video and that same stiff layup kyrie did that was in live 09.

Anyway you can determine other things in that screen shot besides John Wall. People are looking for details and rightfully so since ea hasnr given anything else thus far

Can you post a vid of the live hunchback and what the issue is? I'm not sure what's wrong with defensive players being in a defensive stance.

It's not them being in a defensive stance. It's all the players in the game really, they all have that hunched over, Quasimodo look to them. If you've played Live before, you know what this is.

It's mostly a cosmetic issue. The players' stances are awkward looking a lot of the time.

I think the screenshot looks pretty damn good, just like I think the one of Oladipo the other day is pretty impressive as well. But I'm obviously in the minority here. LOL. I just don't take this stuff so seriously anymore. If they still haven't released good videos before the release date, then I won't buy it. If they release some good ones and I like how the gameplay looks, I'll buy it when I get a PS4. Simple as that. It won't matter if they release a gameplay video today, most of you will want 2 or 3 more.

The EA Sports crew didn't take advantage of an opportunity, but that doesn't mean the game is going to be crap. It doesn't mean it won't be crap either, but time will tell. You people have zero patience, and like someone else stated earlier, it's pretty comical visiting the NBA Live forum here at OS. I'm just thankful I have more important things to do than gripe about a video game we don't know enough about to warrant griping.

In the last game released which was live 10 it wasnt only cosmetic because you could be running down court full sprint with LeBron and they could follow you all the way down court at the same speed in that stance (CPU) and meet you at the rim

It also looks weird with the super fast feet shuffling, stiff body but like I said, if you played past Live's and from what has been seen here, its concerning, and like anything else, im still in wait and see mode, because there is no reason that stuff should still be there.

That's why I said it was cosmetic. In real life, no one would run down the court like that. The only issue was that they didn't switch to the run animation. The outcome of the play would still be the same. I'm not saying it shouldn't be/have been addressed, but it wasn't game-breaking by any stretch of the imagination.

Not that fast breaks still weren't ineffective anyway. Fastbreaks were nearly impossible in Live 10, for some reason the CPU players ALWAYS found a way to get back on time, even when you had a clear 3-1 advantage.

When they did it in that stupid hunched over animation, that made it even worse.

Re: NBA Live 14 Screenshot of John Wall

NBA Live 10 was just flat out more fun than NBA 2K10 was. Once again, I'm obviously in the minority here, but I could care less. I'm going to buy the game that's more fun to me, and a few years ago, that game was NBA Live 10. It sucks EA Sports hasn't been able to get a game out in recent years, but hopefully they can get things going in the right direction again with 14.

And while we haven't seen much of NBA Live 14 to this point, nothing I've seen has turned me off yet. I've liked what I've seen so far.

I wonder if the next-gen sports titles are scared of their product? its seems like all that they may have upped are the graphics and cosmetics of the game, and are worried to show gameplay because the improvements are limited

Dude you could have all the momentum and the guy would still stop you in your tracks and put you in some cheesy contact shot. It wasnt just cosmetic and again look at the lame shuffling hunchback defense if still there is a legacy problem

Dont try to minimize something that shouldn't be there in the first place. Stop making excuses for everything.

I never said it shouldn't have been addressed. But you're making it sound like it was a game-breaking issue. I just find it hard to believe that Live is the only basketball game you seem to have a problem with. With any luck, both companies will be able to address the shortcomings from current gen games.

I couldn't agree more, I mean I got a kick out of both games honestly. I think it's because I'm basically an online only player, so I enjoy the competition. Both Live and 2k brought a different flavor in 2010. When I wanted to build fantasy team in an online association and watch my team of mediocre players lead by Paul Pierce light up the league I would play 2k, it was fun.

Then when I got tired of 2k, and I wanted to go online and break some ankles with NBA Lives freestyle dribbling I would play Live. They both served a purpose, I never really compared them but enjoyed them both for what they were, flaws and all. I'm just glad that's back.

I don't care who wins the selling war, I don't work for either company, just put out a game I like and I'll buy it. Simple as that. I haven't seen anything from either game yet that says don't purchase, or that says purchase. So I'll wait and see. Most likely I'll get both because I'm just a fan of basketball, and competitive gaming online. From what I've seen and read so far NBA Live looks and sounds good. Team specific defenses, signature dribbling, physics based net & rim interactions, ball physics, even better atmosphere, fun defense, and a game that is shying away from exploits (cheese); Live sounds like a game I would love to play when I get my PS4

Of course there's probably someone who's going to say, "Oh, don't believe the hype EA is lying to you, don't you remember Elite, it's all buzzwords." Well, I'll wait and see for myself, and it seems EA is pretty confident letting the us see and decide for ourselves.

Overall good screenshot, and just the way John Wall is protecting and holding the basketball does look like how he would actually handle the ball in real life. I like, I hope they've gone or will go into as much authenticity (buzzword, nope real word) when it comes to the post game also. If they came out and said we have over 50 signature post game packages I would probably start drooling just thinking about the variety and fun that would bring to the game for me personally.
