NBA Live 14 Gameplay Trailer

Re: NBA Live 14 Gameplay Trailer

Really can't make an completely accurate judgement from this trailer but from what I do see....

Still seems it will be along the lines of NBA Live Elite with better graphics and more animations. The dribbling looks very good though. I think that the dribbling system will be the shining jewel of the game.

But as a whole I don't think it will touch NBA 2K14 on Next-Gen.

I think it looks like Live 10

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

I expect the leap from Live 14 to Live 15 to be significant. I feel like once they get this turkey off their back and release the game they can relax, and look forward to next year and all the time they have to plan and prepare.

It's like when you're in school and you're passing in that paper last minute and your working on it way into the night, then once you finish and finally pass it in you're like whoo! Now it's over I can slow down and focus.

Live 15 should really show us what EA and these next gen consoles are capable of.

and then the ther company will set the bar even higher... and Live will be in the same place again... EA has had too much time to release a product that looks and animates like this... on my end, there are no excuses for this game to still suffer from jerky, lag, and stiff animations and etc. EA needs to stop with this we built the game from the ground up and admit they took pieces from elite 11 and live 13, added bounctek and other stuff... still looks like nba live 10.5/elite11/live13 smashed together

Re: NBA Live 14 Gameplay Trailer

looks better that I expected. crazy how many ppl have opinions on something they have not played. your minds were already made up before you saw the trailer. get out of that mindset . hate pollutes the mind!!!!!!!!!!1

Nick, me and you have been in these Live boards for a while. Keeping rosters for Live 10 going.... You more than me recently. You have to admit this looks pretty crappy for a game that EA has tweaked and redone and canceled for the last 4years. This is a port of Live 10 with some higher resolution graphics.... It could have been more....A LOT MORE!!!

Re: NBA Live 14 Gameplay Trailer

It doesn't look nearly as impressive as 2K14, but it looks a lot better than what I expected.

Re: NBA Live 14 Gameplay Trailer

Looks exactly like Live 10. Look exactly like a game on the PS3 and 360 as well. After 3 years I just expected way more then this. I will pick it up once it drops to $25 to $30, don't look like it is worth $60. Just way too many other non sports games coming out that look better then this.

Something about the players just look off to me. Too much brightness, shine, reflection or something.

Noshun..... You don't need to bash people for what they believe in. And if you do don't be so hostel about it... Your nuttin but a cyber bully.

You know what? I REALLY LIKED IT.

Positives: The dribbling looked good. The shots look spot on, the animations looked better. Not bad. Wasn't as good as 2K's trailer, but not bad.

Negatives: That Steve Nash clip still made me hurl. The net physics are still lackluster, but not enough to take you out of the immersion. No, the PS2 like dunk animations where the fingers don't even connect on the rim do that for you. That last dunk was bleh.

Edit: Looking back at some of the dunks...there was 1 nice dunk, and that was the D-Wade dunk. Everything else was meh. It's like there was something missing from them. I think it was because I could only get a sense of ferocity from D-Wade's dunk. The others didn't have enough force IMO.

I agree with this. Im still going to buy this game too.

C'mon guys..it didn't look bad...

Just no where nears as good as 2k.

Re: NBA Live 14 Gameplay Trailer

I agree with everything you say except for your skeptism on the 3 year plan. Like you said the problem with elite and live 13 was that they attempted to rebuild the engine instead of building on what they had with 10. It now looks like they are back to something similar to 10 except a bit improved. If they continue to build on the formula they should have success in a couple years. This could be similarto the nhl series last gen.

I am finding it difficult to understand how people are saying that 2k and live, graphically, aren't far off. Maybe I should watch the videos again but imo 2k looks much better. Although it is important to note that the games have 2 different art styles. I always d that 2k takes a more realistic "you are there" approach

I cried a little. Finally someone who see's this like I do!

Who says I bashed him? I havent done such a thing, nor am I being hostle.
Cyber bully, please.. cut it out. Im sure EA released Elite 11, Live 12 & Live 13 because of the feedback theyve gotten from the community of the things they liked, correct?
Hey if you have those 3 game please tell me where you got em? Or did homerism help those 3 games hit the market, vs. things people didnt like with this series that made them buy another NBA product?

You tell me, I'll wait.... I dont have a problem with what he or anyone believes in. Feel free to post your opinion. I enjoy reading good & bad. It lets developers know what they need to fix and improve. what I dont like is people bring the other game into thhis forum, as if the problems they have with that game are the reasons that this game was cancelled an entire presidential term. Especially when they cant find faults with the game this forum is about. It breeds STAGNATION..... & cancelation.

Re: NBA Live 14 Gameplay Trailer

WOW that was bad. Live did it again , they look so stiff and zombie like. I cant believe live has gotten so bad. I can see them scraping the game again , not sure if they can risk another canceled release. There used to have crap game . I miss having 2 nba games to play. Been yrs since it was any good.

Re: NBA Live 14 Gameplay Trailer

Very underwhelming trailer. I mentioned before, I don't like the way Live's trailers are edited. It has no flavor. You can tell from the way the trailer is cut up that they were trying to hide the herky jerky animations. The transitional animations from dribbling to shots are still really poor and not smooth. Also I don't like the net physics. I can already tell what 5 on 5 gameplay is going to look like.

In regards to the dribbling or "Bounce tek", I think that the stand still dribbling is done very well. However, I don't like the way the explosions look (ex. derrick rose).

The player models are not my cup of tea. Players that are suppose to be standing straight up knees are bent and backs are hunched over. It just looks bad. There is also alot of herky jerky movements from the defense. Overall I never liked live's graphics current gen. They went from looking ashy to looking like a plastic cartoon character. It seems like that plastic look has made it's way to next gen.

Bottomline is that this game doesn't look Next Gen. It looks like a current gen game with a "very small" graphical upgrade.

Good post these are my sentiments to a tee...I think that trailer tried to hide blatant deficiencies in the game. The movements were robotic the models were way off and the only thing that looked decent was the standstill dribbling but the explosion out of it was terrible..I don't get it with the hunchbacks and bent knee. At some point EA has to look at who is actually working on the game and reassess personel. They have a tough choice now will the public pay full price for that and 2K14?...I don't think so. I see a initial lower purchase price taking place just to get it out the door. I cant justiy it to myself to pay full price for that at all..thats a 30 game at best at this point..

Re: NBA Live 14 Gameplay Trailer

It's not only the game itself, but the quality of the trailer as a promotional video. Regardless of what the game looks like, the trailer itself (editing, effects, etc.) isn't top notch. I would expect more from a company like EA.

Some of the guys creating trailers on their own, can make a game you've been playing for months look amazing and exciting. So a brand new next-gen trailer should look much more exciting.

And yet you can have an opinion on how good it is without having played it. Amazing how that works.
