NBA Live 14 Gameplay Trailer

Re: NBA Live 14 Gameplay Trailer

Why not release a video or better yet, a game without the many, many visual problems then?

Graphics can be terrible and defenders can jerk around spastically but gameplay is king as long as we have pretty dribbling animations?

If we're not supposed to judge the game by a video, then we should also discount everything positive we see. Can't have it both ways.

EA acts that way with all their games, it's something i'm very used to. When we look at these trailers and sizzle videos, we're only supposed to point out the good. When all the bad is pointed out and brought to the table, it's an "old build" or the AI is "turned down".

Why can't the fans and developers of these games see that it just looks bad, and if it looks bad, it will probably play bad. We've done this dog and pony show ever year now with these games, and usually what we see is what we get. Why people keep expecting change with this company I don't understand.

Just being honest.

Really? They're already on a redesign of the dribbling system (2K11) and it's already capable of everything you see touted in Bouncetek.

I honestly think that the people working at EA believes it looks good.

Maybe because they see it everyday. Or maybe because they have seen the actual gameplay. Or maybe they are just ignorant.

But I think they really believe it is a good product or else they wouldn't have put those videos out.

It is kind of the same way they thought Elite 13 was good. Right until it got out to the public and received negative feedback.

1. Foot planting. Everyone has been complaining about foot sliding in 2k and there is NONE in this trailer. Great footwork.

Holy crap. Are you serious? Blind? Were you just looking at the dribbler during standing dribble moves? You had to be. I'm not complaining about it, but for you to say there was NONE makes you either blind or someone stretching the truth by a LOT. I've already said that foot locking is NOT an easy thing to nail especially in a sports game. Don't expect to not see some sliding on occasion. But again, don't try to make this statement when the video shows quite a bit of it.

You know what man... screw 2k

If you turn on the tv, NBA Tv, Fox Sports, ESPN, ABC, youtube, Apple TV, Roku, etc etc

There is now way you look at a real basketball game and then look at this and say "yep, looks just like the real deal"

That's just not possible in this day and age

Re: NBA Live 14 Gameplay Trailer

i read somewhere that they were still trying to fix the ai.

This close to release? Forget everything else, THAT is the biggest red flag of all. AI should have that nailed down by now with the game going gold in weeks.

I think they have what's most common in writers. The first draft of a book a writer does is absolutely terrible 100% of the time. Why? Because we didn't write what we think we wrote and we didn't explain what we thought they explained, hence plotholes everywhere. Why is that? Because we are too close to the writing (or product in this case). We need to take a stepback, wait for a month or two, then look at it again or send it out for feedback/get it cleaned up by a professional editor because that's what editors are for.

From what I've seen at EA continually over the years, they don't send out or heed any feedback, whatsoever. So when they do get feedback (reviews) and they end up negative, they end up puzzled because they still believe what they wrote (or created) is a good product, when that is clearly not the case.

They don't think it doesn't look good.

There was a reason they released no footage of NBA Live 2007 besides that Sonics/Pistons fake video. They knew it was crap.

And in the same vein, there was a reason they did release the Elite 11 demo. That game was even shipped. Right until hard8times dropped a bomb on them.

If they thought that the Steve Nash video was trash, it wouldn't have gotten the green light to be released. Trust me.

Agreed.

This is the same team that shuts the community out and the guys that they do bring in are handpicked yes-men.

They're sitting there right now thinking they have a gem on their hands. I guarantee it.

And maybe they do. It just doesn't look like it based on what they have shown us.

KDRE, I'm not saying they're right in their thinking. Just looking at it from their POV.

You can't be serious.

Re: NBA Live 14 Gameplay Trailer

Elite simply wasn't finished. That's why it was scrapped. If EA says this game is done and ready to play then this is the best we are gonna get. This is a defining moment if EA is to shut up all the cynics out there. They must feel its good enough to be a viable option. I'm hoping we are all surprised and Live turns out just fine

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

You can't be serious.

From what I've seen of the dribbling in 2K. If one were to really get in-depth with the dribbling system yes, you'd be able to pull of any move imaginable and then be able to chain it into a shot attempt (or drive to the basket with explosion) seamlessly. It just requires a hell of a lot more practice than what Live seems to be implementing.

Their point of view Blows and this has been known for years. If multiple cancellations don't tell you that then I dont know what else will.

Then this dude is going to say we're wrong for judging the game off of what they showed us?

Man miss me with that garbage.
