Come on, BS. All look same!

Seriously, I don't think the graphics engine will change any time soon. I could be wrong. Maybe they are not taking full advantage of it at the moment.

Not changing it is unacceptable, to have the same graphics engine for 360 PS3 to Xbox One PS4....

Nobody wants 10 more years of the same outdated engine...why show those HD renders of Kyrie etc and give us boo boo cartoon graphics.

Loving the gameplay and hating the visuals, this isn't Next Gen visually, not even by 5%.

Just bout the game today, I really like spacing and the fact that each player stays with his assigned man. 2k has real issues with those 2 things us far.

I must say, probably the only one in here. I'm glad it looks cartoonish! I'm honestly sick of how games the last couple of years is all about graphics, real life graphics. What happened to create a stile thats unique and fun.

I must say, that fact that this games LOOKS like a game, makes it more fun for me.

I read an article on kotaku "If a games has realistic graphics you wont remember it in 10 years, but a game with a unique stile of graphics is remembered for ever" - #bringbackfungraphics.

The problem though, is that they are TRYING to go for realistic. We should all know this. Looking less realistic by mistake is a virtue now?

Re: NBA Live 14 Has Arrived, Post Your Impressions Here

You really should buy this game, IMO it's the best hoop game out right now.

Wow. Saying its good and that you like it is one thing. You clearly have a right to that opinion. But I think we all know your opinion is shared by a VERY small percentage.

I'm not sure about this. The style of graphics has been like this since 08..

I believe you have been warned about this already. This is an impressions thread. Now matter how right or wrong, how on the mark or off-base someone's impression is, pointing out he has a right to his opinion and that it is shared by a small percentage does not add anything here.

Re: NBA Live 14 Has Arrived, Post Your Impressions Here

I'm going to iterate this point for EVERYONE:

This is an impressions thread. Talk about your opinion of the game. Not your opinions of others opinions.

People who read this thread should be able to look at how "valuable" someone's contribution is and make a decision on their own.

I hope more people take Live 14 for a spin and play more than 2 games, it's a really fun game with flaws. The pace is fantastic, just need some oomph on the fast breaks. If the fast breaks were more fluid it would be my favorite hoop game ever.

Of course that's my opinion. 8/10

Re: NBA Live 14 Has Arrived, Post Your Impressions Here

I tried the demo again and the only thing that irks me is no movement on offense.

Is there something I'm missing? Is it not available in the demo?

All of my guys just stand around at a spot. And it's nearly impossible to score when you're basically going one on one all game.

Also does the retail have play design on the court so we know what to do next? Manually choosing plays and I see movement for five seconds and everyone stands around again. I'm assuming it's because I'm not triggering the next part of the play.

I managed to pick up the full game from a friend for a few bucks. Have seen slight improvement in the game from what I saw in the demo. There is on court play design in the full version you have to turn on in the settings, but it's terrible. There is still little movement once you turn it on in the settings as well. Compared to the demo however it's about a billion times better.

I concur with your score. I'm in the mid 7's to 8 range as well

For some reason when I call offensive plays the diagram shows but after a qtr or so they disappear?? Anyone else notice this? I check the settings and everything is good there. Not sure on this one??

Gonna start my season this weekend as gonna be off for 4 days starting Monday. Still undecided on 10/11/12 minutes. I play a slow style game sooo

Fast breaks. If they could gets these more refined that would do it for me this year. The rest I could live with

if that is the case with play art disappearing you should post it in the bugs thread. that would definitely need to be fixed.

Re: NBA Live 14 Has Arrived, Post Your Impressions Here

I played most of the day today, and plan on doing the same the next couple of days as I'm off of work and my wife isn't. I just have so much gaming to do

Despite it's flaws, I can't stop playing this game. It's the most fun that I've had with a basketball game in a long time. I think the biggest reason for that is because every game just feels different.

I played six 12 minute quarter Dynasty games today, and none of them felt the same. I lost a close game to the Nuggets. I beat the Clippers in OT. I got blown out by the Warriors. I blew out the Hawks. And the close games were exciting; getting blown out was frustrating. I was completely immersed in the ebbs and flows of each game. And end the end, that's all that really matters to me.

But, there are a couple things that tend to bother me. I'd really love to know if either of these issues I have might be fixed in a patch:

1) Points in the Paint. It's not a problem every game, but I experience it enough that it can be bothersome at times. It's a combination of not really being able to body up your defender when he's driving the lane/baseline and the hop step animation that can't be stopped. Even just eliminating the hop step cheese would probably eliminate that issue.

2) Blocks. Way too many blocks on jumpers. Demarcus Cousins shouldn't be getting stuffed by Jermaine O'Neal multiple times a game. And again it's not all of the time, but it's annoying when it happens in critical moments.

If they could just fix those two issues for me, I'm golden. But even so, I'm just enjoying the hell out of this game.
