NBA Live 14 Gameplay Trailer

I actually think the positives outweighs the negatives. There's a lot to work on, but there's a lot to build upon as well. I'm just glad we've got another player in the game.

Re: NBA Live 14 Gameplay Trailer

Does anyone else agree that the trailer and bouncetek serve as a way to mask the flaws of the game?

Movement is not fluid, models, textures and lighting are NBA Live 10. The rim and net look like NBA live 06'.

As a former division 1 college player and long time Live player, I am shocked and horrified at this end product.

Re: NBA Live 14 Gameplay Trailer

I just don't understand how a rational person could look at those 2 videos and think the NBA Live trailer is even close to the other. I don't even play these basketball games very much. I wasn't planning on buying an NBA next gen game. I probably will now after seeing the 2K trailer. Just look at it. Looks real. Live is not even in the same ballpark. Here are some things I noticed.

The D. Rose move to basket looks awkward. Why does his head kinda look towards his defender the whole way? It's like he's got a "crick" in his neck. Plus his facial expression is not natural. The Damon Lillard closeup. His face is weird, plus his jersey is standing up off the back of his shoulders like its on a hangar. What the heck? I've seen all these people talk about Melo's stutter step. Watch that part again. It's like he stops unnaturally and then shoots straight up. No momentum. Steve Nash, everyone knows about him, no need to beat his dead horse face into the ground.

I haven't followed this very closely but I do know the LIVE team has had multiple YEARS to produce a game that was ready for NEXT GEN. The graphics are not even close. The gameplay doesn't look close, but maybe they will show something later that proves that wrong. I'm all for NBA Live to be good. I wish it was and I had to make a difficult choice. Right now there is not even a choice. It's not close. 2k14 is next gen, Live is not.

Yup. As nice as the size-up move started off it all fell apart with the slow 2-foot gather that would have given the defender time to catch-up.

Kemba's form looks more like Ben Gordon's with his non-shooting hand almost on top of the ball.

Re: NBA Live 14 Gameplay Trailer

I don't understand how people are more interested in watching a game then playing it. Live has never looked nor will it look more fluid animation wise. Playing it though is a whole different story. I hope people give it a play with the final product before making judgement.

I always get pumped each year 2k shows screenshots and gameplay cause it looks great. But then playing it i feel it looks more cartoonish and the movement and dribbling is just not what I expected, including the shooting, passing, atmosphere.

Don't put much stock in vids.

Re: NBA Live 14 Gameplay Trailer

OK... I just watched this 6-7 times. I don't understand most of the negativity in here.

A couple of things that are AWESEOME:
1. Foot planting. Everyone has been complaining about foot sliding in 2k and there is NONE in this trailer. Great footwork.
2. Very quick dribbling moves. Sometimes the moves in 2k feel slowed down. These are incredibly quick. This will likely lead to a better 1v1 game.
3. Spacing looks better than 2k (in my opinion). In the Steve Nash pick and roll zoomed out shot you can see how much spacing there is on the floor. Very nice.
4. Signature jump shots looked good. I especially liked Tim Duncan's jumper.
5. I'm a Blazer fan - the Rose Garden looked sweet.
6. The player faces were spot on.
7. Arena lighting was excellent.

Stop the negativity people. Get pumped! We have two games to play in November!!!

Man have your eyes checked, there is so much sliding, ball warping (in which they said wasnt in the game) happening it isn't funny.... You don't see the sliding? Not to name the lag, stiffness, herky jerky movement......

Of all the complaints you can have about this trailer.. and yes i know there are alot of things wrong in this trailer.. foot sliding and ball warping are two things that are not present.

Seriously, watch the defenders feet around 30 seconds in. Dude looks like he is on rollerskates.

Don't put much stock in vids.

So are you excited about Live's dribbling?

Why, because of how it looks?

Because you saw vids of it today?

Wait. I thought we didn't put much stock in vids. I thought we didn't care about visuals and "watching" a game.

Some people actually like the other product's gameplay and not Live's. They're not so invested in trying to like a product that they discount it's competitor at every turn. For instance, many 2K fans can say we wished there were sig dribbles of Live's quality in 2K.

Though that's about it.

So for those of us who enjoy the other game, visuals enhance the enjoyment that much more. Better gameplay (in our opinion), better visuals (fact). It's nice when you don't have to make excuses for your decisions.

If you don't like 2K gameplay, that's fine, but don't pretend that Live's is better-- because there hasn't BEEN a Live game to play in four years. And supposing Live's gameplay will be better with zero evidence IS 2K haterism. As is being excited about any visuals in Live but trying not to be impressed about them in 2K just because you've planted your flag for a brand without a product in years.

The on ball defenders -- I haven't seen that much jerky foot sliding in a basketball game in years. As much as Live tried to hide it by having defenders be cut off half on screen

Looks like a cartoon. Doesn't look real like 2k. Doesn't have the same emotion as 2k. Looks more arcade. I shocked that a big company like EA couldn't just copy the winning formula. They are making a second rate basketball game. What was that?

[deejay2]

What an ****ty game... Gameplay looks the same like past games, just graphics is better. No thanks EA!

Re: NBA Live 14 Gameplay Trailer

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!!!

yes, 2k blows live away with the graphics, let's just wait to play the game before we make assumptions of that the game isn't good.

Re: NBA Live 14 Gameplay Trailer

oh please...funny you can never find anything you don't like.. get out of that mindset . homerism promotes stagnation!

can't tell nothing from a trailer, haven't played the game yet, just like what I see saw. far from a homer, i bought 2k10,11,13 and 13, not one of the live guys who refuse to play 2k. try again!

Re: NBA Live 14 Gameplay Trailer

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

Just no where nears as good as 2k.

graphics, i agree!
