    Re: Will you buy Live and why?

    I planned on buying, but I am a little jilted by this "3 year plan" deal again...

    A definite rental. If it's decent I will buy..

      I just can't support a product for the sake of having competition. For maybe $29.99 I could. And yes I did read the whole statement
      I think this "supporting competition" thing doesn't make sense when the inferior product is being produced by a giant conglomerate with anti-competitive practices, poor development practices, myopic vision, and sketchy marketing while the smaller guys have been dominating and are still trying to knock it out of the park.

      If it was the other way around-- a small company just trying earnestly out of their passion for basketball, then maybe. You know the EA guys would be happy just producing an okay-ish enough product to get an exclusive NBA license for so they don't have to work that hard anymore.

      That said, I still do think a competing product makes 2K better and more innovative. But I don't want to put money in EA's pocket to have one. Damned if you do and damned if you don't. I certainly don't want to reward EA for less-than-mediocre efforts sight unseen. 15 of you all are silly to do that. :P

        Trailer was just as I thought it would be. They wanted to show the new dribbling tech, now we will see what happens next. If it played like a true basketball game. That is what should matter not how pretty it look. Remember they are using the ignite engine as Madden 25. So the details will be just as detailed. NBA 2k14 might like pretty but no game at all just a intro worries me. Why have they not released anything. No other details at all.

          Do you like 2K? Assuming you do, have their trailers ever worried you before by being pretty?

          And once again, it wasn't an intro. It was stitched together replay footage.

          Did Live worry you with its doctored cg intros passed off as gameplay?

          You know what worries me? A trailer that shows a game with problems and doesn't look like real basketball. If you're worried about what 2k hasn't shown, IMAGINE ALL THE PROBLEMS LIVE COULD HAVE THAT IT HASN'T SHOWN EITHER, even after picking its most impressive parts!

          Also, you do not want to compare Live to next gen Madden right now. It's getting ripped apart for how not next gen it seems.

            After watching both trailers my mind still remains the same, I will buy Live over 2k. Even though 2k visually looks light years ahead of Live the game overall has become very stale to me. Plus there hasn't been a Live game since 10. I'm sure I'll end up regretting my decision and end up trading in Live for 2k I'm going to give it the benefit of the doubt to start.

              I wouldn't want it if it's FREE to be honest. I want to own the BEST BABY!!

              Now, I haven't seen the 5 on 5 game play of 2K14 next gen or how it's going to play, but i sort of trust 2K for their ability to make great game play. I definitely don't want them to go back to the current gen game play though....move forward and make something brand new...make it play like a REAL NBA GAME!! I heard the current gen and next gen are totally different game and that gives me hope that they're going in a different direction regarding the game play. Make it run faster and more realistic...

                  Chances are with the exception of the graphics 2k should be the same game it has been for years.

                        Still think EA should go the street ball route and become the King of that . Just give up on realistic basketball because they can't seem to grasp it . If this trailer was for NBA Street Vol 4 and wasn't placed in the arena I bet a lot more people would be interested . But maybe not because it looks like a PS3 game . You know just stay on CG don't come to NG yet . The amount of CG will still out weigh NG consumers for at least a year maybe .

                          As a non partial observer, I feel you would be obligated to get it. But to say to support competition, you lost me. Must I rant about that again? Much respect, Czar, but supporting competition by supporting EA is an oxymoron. Change of pace. Cool. Faith in their vision, fine. Competition? Puh-lease!

                            You mean NBA 2K14 won't have actual basketball in it? WTH?!

                              So far, 23 people are buying, 50 are not and 7 are pleading ignorance.

                              I like the Czar also have the game pre ordered, but right now I am on the fence about what to do with that pre order.

                                No I'm not buying, but I'll rent it though.
