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

Love this about the game. The CPU AI is pretty darn good. They make adjustments accordingly and there is nothing cheesy about it.

This is what I was talking about 24th Letter. It's not my game it's what's happening and I was shocked when you said you haven't really noticed. Not pointing you out 24th it's all good bro!!

My season starts tomorrow with Kobe!!!! and the Lakers!!!

No offense taken...we all view things differently...

All I know is as of this morning I can take my SG clear across court for a possession and the opposing SG won't get the ball..

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

I'm playing Detroit at Brooklyn right now, and absolutely having a ball. I love the Barclays' Center in this game. The floor and colors are really well done in my opinion. Having a blast going at KG with Drummond and Monroe. Jennings is trying to break D-Will, D-Will coming right back at me. Just a lot of fun

Also, really like the ESPN camera in BKN too. It's a little further away than I'm used to, but everything seems really fluid on this setting.

Are dunks able to be blocked, every time the CPU attempted a dunk and I tried to block it, I was unsuccessful.

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

Just had the best game that I've played of Live 14 yet. Stats may not have indicated a perfect game, but the feel of it was perfect.

Pistons (me) vs Nets at BKN. Game went back and forth all game long. Jennings was outstanding for me. This is my first time playing as the Pistons period, so it was a good change of pace. I was going to Monroe and Drummond early on. Stuckey was sucky. Smith was Non-existent. So it was basically Monroe, Drummond and Jennings.

D-Will got to the rim a few times early, and then got free for the mid range jumper, step back j's, you name it.

Late in the 4th quarter I was down 8, cut it to 3.. Then D-Will decided to remove my glimmer of hope. He hit a long range 3 when I went to double down on Lopez. Next possession, Jennings fouls out. I ended up losing 108-99. Here are the stats:







Tough Tough Loss.

I can't reiterate enough though, this was the most fluid game that I've played. Everything just felt right control wise, and I'd say 95% of the animations were good.

Free Throws? I shot 18, then shot 20. Only 8 blocks per team. PiP, mine were low. Theirs was 68 out of the 108. A little high, but it'd didn't feel it.

An absolute blast.

What's ur opinion of live compared to 2k. I don't know exactly what it is, I can't put a finger on my love of live. I mean honestly it seems like 2k is a video game and live is the real thing, not gameplay wise, I think maybe presentation wise, I feel more immersed by live then I do with 2k.

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

I remember reading pre-release that if a player had a big game he'd get a standing ovation from the crowd on his way to the bench. Is this actually in the game? Anybody seen it?

[WTF]

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

I've not paid attention, hopefully I won't have it happen again.

Forgot to mention, the crowd was HYPED late in the 4th. Had I not have hit a B Jennings stepback at the right time, I'm pretty sure that the roof was about to blow off of the Barclays Center.

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

Got two games going on my NBA league pass (sac v orlando + SA v OKC)
and these players absolutely sprint aggressively when in the open court. They are aggressive, physical and fast. That's why they are the best athletes in the world. Half openings and guys sprint and attack. Defensive rebounds and they are off and running down court. 3 on 1s and any half chances and they attack the hoop. NBA live just doesn't have this speed or athleticism. It just seems too passive / wait for a half court play to be run regardless.

The main issue seems to be that the game is "programmed" to run a set play to a specific player. I can get plenty of speed going myself so if EA can "reprogram" things to have the CPU improvise more I think it can get pretty close to the real thing...

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

CPU late game AI is non existent. I don't know how Nick and WTF aren't seeing this as I get stuff like this every time the CPU is down at the end of a game. Also, there's no CPU time outs. Are you guys just never seeing this stuff? I feel like you two have a different game to the rest of the world sometimes. Are you only playing 5 min games or something and this only happens in longer games? Everyone else is seeing this.

I have never experienced that.. I've had a couple of time where the CPU just don't wanna move the ball up the court so they get called for a 8 second or sometimes they just run the clock out. But never later game. And those examples where before the patch. Not had it happening after.

It happens pre and post patch IF you closely guard the CPU ball handler. That video is exactly what happens. If you stand back and let them run a play etc,they will. But if the cpu main guy like Curry or Kyrie etc is the ball handler, you sort of have to guard them, right? And if you do, that's what happens.

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

Spacing in this game is immensely good. 2k's spacing is terrible by comparison. The basis is here for a great game at they've got spacing and half court pace perfect.
