NBA Live 14 Gameplay Trailer

Re: NBA Live 14 Gameplay Trailer (PS4/Xbox One)

The trailer gets better the more I watch it.

People need to understand the contextual differences between the 2k trailer and the Live trailer. The former has an obvious advantages in facial animations, but outside of that, you can credit a lot of the perceived gap in graphic production to the distinct methodologies behind how the clips were captured. One is slow moving, makes heavy use of zoom, and features a ton of cinematic cut screens/sequences in moments where the action is stopped or slowed.(pre game, free throw, time out, etc). The other moves at real time, while focusing more on signature dribble packages/shots(Kyrie, D. Williams, Lilliard, Duncan, Green, Melo, etc), and actual gameplay sequences.

2k's trailer was probably prettier, and therefore had more of a "wow" factor, but Live has a lot of good here as well. There were a few moments that were questionable, mostly on the defensive side, and I hope the crowd sits for a breather during actual gameplay, but for the most part, it looks good. Bouncetek could definitely be something that pushes the genre forward if it plays as smoothly as it appears in this trailer. EA isn't totally there just yet, but they're moving in the right direction. NBA Live 14 looks like it can the solid base for reestablishment that EA has long needed.

I'll probably be purchasing both titles now. If 2k continues to prioritize animations over control though while failing to fix many of the gameplay issues that have plagued them this gen, I could definitely see myself spending more time with Live.

I'm officially excited.

Well I just watched it for the 5th time and I want to know, what in the world happened to Rose's defender? And why is this guy in the NBA? He makes no reaction to Rose at all, he just stands there and Rose blows past him. Normally when someone gets beat to the basket it is because they get juked out for go for a steal at the wrong time, in this trailer the guy is just standing there arms extended and Rose goes by him.

have you seen Kyrie play? he gets beat to the basket a lot and doesn't get juked because his defense sucks.

I don't thin EA hire mocap actors To do their dunks and mocap work. If they did, clearly most of these animations wouldn't be issues. EA needs to get ahold of team flight brothers number and get to work. you can tell kyrie was the only mocapped guy, either that or he had the best sig package, cause everyone is using his package.

So what you're saying is, wait till next year and its going to be a good game?!

LOL you sound like these EA Madden fans.. Next Year will REALLY SHOW US WHAT THEY CAN DO!!

That should be EA's tagline...

"E-A- SPORTS!! WAIT FOR NEXT YEAR!!!"

Back on topic. That looks horrible, robotic and it looks like they are skating. Player models are horrible as well.

EA. I honestly think they just don't have the talent in the animation department.

LOL "EA SPORTS WAIT FOR NEXT YEAR!!". No, I'm just saying this year is their first year of making a game after many years, the pressure for them to even put out a playable game is at an all time high, that's probably their main foocus, put out a solid foundation. Now with Live 14 out shipped and nothing else they can do all the pressure is off them, people can love it or hate it but they did what they had to do.

Now Live 15 will ee different goals and different milestones, the game is out and the foundation is set, now lets really see what these systems can do. I'm almost certain they didn't get every ounce of power they could out of these systems it's the first year. NBA 2k11 was alot better than NBA 2k6, it's because they learned to harness the power of the systems.

I expect Live to learn some things this year and really develop what they already have into something even better. Kind of like what FIFA had to do when they were rebuilding their game, every year they upgraded a base technology that lead them to where they are now as one of or arguably the best soccer game out. It's because of things like a live ball and real physics that helped them accomplish that.

I feel Live can do the same. Build off bouncetek, build off the physics in the post, add more subtle animations, improve rim physics, improve ball physics, improve animations, improve graphics. This is only the foundational layer of what could become a mansion.

LOL nah man I just thought that was mad disrespectful to tell someone what to "stop" doing when I was only stating how I received the trailer. I don't care if anyone agrees or not but don't talk to me like that. He didn't even have to respond if he was gone say some stupid **** you know what I mean. I can see I won't be around here after this game drops. Some of these cats are jerks for no apparent reason.

Re: NBA Live 14 Gameplay Trailer (PS4/Xbox One)

It looked current gen. Had it preordered, canceling that. IMO not worth $60. I'll wait a few months pick it up used. EA should make it a digital download for $25-$30. That would generate a buzz. Animations look too herky jerky. This is suppose to be next gen right? Well in all honesty it's not.

Edit: Order cancelled

Re: NBA Live 14 Gameplay Trailer (PS4/Xbox One)

The game was trash to me.

I'm not gonna lie to myself and praise a finished game for having a couple innovative features when the real meat of the game is garbage.

I wonder how much he was paid to do that? After seeing that trailer no one can truthfully say shots were fired from EA.

Re: NBA Live 14 Gameplay Trailer (PS4/Xbox One)

It doesn't even look next gen lol wth. But i do think they just need to release it and just keep building. We all know it's not gonna come close to 2K.

Re: NBA Live 14 Gameplay Trailer (PS4/Xbox One)

I think until EA gets rid of anything that is tied to the ANT system, its going to continue to move like hot garbage. All of these players moving and dribbling like they swallowed half a bottle of caffiene pills is ridiculous.

I still see how they purposely tried to hide stuff like how the game looks in real time zoomed out. Rose's dunk was awful, and the defense seems dumber than rocks in the paint.

Just like Felton did, Amare disappeared on that layup (what the heck is up with players disappearing) and overall the movement makes the already bright colored players look like puppets.

The dribbling was cool, but I was doing similar stuff in Live 10, and the worse part about that is, you can only do stationary dribbling stuff, none of that stuff can be done while moving to throw the defender off.

I see ALOT of legacy issues in this game which is what I was hoping wasn't true, and all of the people saying that Steve Nash clip was an old build because of how it was recieved, do you still think it was an old build?

Not sure what you're talking about. Game doesn't move like hot garbage,, dribbling looked good, the entirety of the competitions trailer was zoomed, and we obviously had different versions of Live 10.

Re: NBA Live 14 Gameplay Trailer (PS4/Xbox One)

I f this was announced a ps3/360 game, people probably wouldn't be so harsh on the game, but since this is supposed to be next gen, it has some serious standards to live up to. This game should not be on ps4/xbox one.

It looks like Live 10.5 and there are things that I didnt even see in that game im seeing here like players disappearing. Kyrie seemed to shift momentum between camera angle swaps in mid air and on that Rose dunk, is the rim 8 feet because either it was a serious pop up dunk or that rim was low.

Re: NBA Live 14 Gameplay Trailer

I couldn't think of the real saying so I just flowed with what I had man LOL...



Just being honest.

Not really. I say that because 2K's ball already has the physics you're talking about. Which is why it can actually be poked away, blocked out of dunks, dribbled off feet. They had that two years ago but took it out because of cheesers bitching about turnovers because they couldn't turbo the whole game without the ball bouncing off someone's foot.

shots fired....from a nerf gun

A nerf gun from the early 90s.

But seriously. I am disappointed for the sake of competition. If Live gave something that made people say at the least "you know what I can see something coming with this" then imagine how these two companies would raise their game.
