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

    I just finished one the most amazing games I have ever played.

    It was the second game in my Warriors dynasty against the Clippers in LA. I had a poor first half and I was down 20+ in the second quarter. If there was an option to sim the rest of the game, that's probably what I would have done. I felt defeated.

    Then in the 3rd quarter I got on a run, and all of a sudden I was within 10. Now I knew I had a shot. I was down by 7 heading into the final quarter. The 4th was crazy. I got the game tied in just a couple of minutes and then the lead went back and forth. DeAndre Jordan gave the Clippers a 2-point lead with 22 seconds remaining, but I managed to tie it up again and then Griffin missed a shot at the buzzer.

    OT continued in the same pattern, with the lead going back and forth to begin with.
    With 20 seconds left Griffin makes it a 4-point game, and quickly thereafter I turn the ball over and have no choice but to intentionally foul. I don't remember who was fouled, but he only made one of the free throws. I call a time out to move the ball up. I inbound the ball to Curry who takes a quick 3, and it's good! 2-point game with 7 seconds left. I go for the steal on the inbound but I'm unsuccessful and I'm forced to send CP3 to the line. He misses both! I grab the rebound and immediately call a time out. Now it's decision time. Go for the win or try to tie it up to force another OT? I inbound the ball to Curry.

    Final score: GS 118 - 117 LAC

      Re: passing

      mrclutch...as just an FYI, remember you have a variety of passes at your disposal...dont forget to use the lob pass if your big man is being fronted, works fairly well...as well as the bounce pass in tight spots..

      completely agree with the catch animations though...its part of the reason the fast break game is poor right now...outlet passes arent being caught in stride, and on rare occasions when teamates are in proper position to complete a fast break...the hitch in the catching results in the defense catching up. If you look in my Wade video in the video section this is a prime example...Chalmers pocket pass is caught by Wade but he doesnt catch in stride, he does an odd back fading layup that just so happens to go in...couldve easily been contested or blocked...

        Make sure you're using lead pass (L1 + X) to make sure they catch it in stride. Using the lead pass, I've yet to have the guys stop on the break. Double tapping X in the post will throw a bounce pass, and like 24th said, Circle will lob pass.

        But if your main beef is the stopping and catching, I've yet to have a guy stop and catch it by using the lead pass. Hope that helps somewhat.

          I'll give that a try WTF. Never really tried lead passing because I almost always icon pass. I'm really trying to learn how to play well enough to like this game (you owe me one EA). Thanks again for the tip.

            Directional passing is pretty well done in the game. I've had a few instances of going to the wrong guy, but 9/10 it'll go where I want it to. You'll see when you press a direction on the analog, there will be a circle light up under the guy that you're going to pass it to.

            The lead passing works really well though. Give it a try and post back.

              HOLD UP!! HOLD UP!! HOLD UP!! Let me get this straight!

              This game is actually fun!?! I saw the photo thread and NBA Live 14 didnt look that bad! In fact I thought it looked pretty good!

              Looked at the highlight thread and was even MORE impressed!

              I thought this game got like a 1.6 rating or something like that?

              I took back the "other" bball game cause I couldn't even play it (Crashing/freezing every 2 seconds) Almost DESTROYED Thanksgiving for my newphews!(we had fun with Madden, & Fifa)

              I LOVE Madden 25 Next Gen, and Fifa 14 so I will buying Live TODAY!

              I need my basketball fix, and my nephews are coming over for New Years Eve (so my lil bro can take his girl out). Im going to give Live an honest shot!!!

              Thanks guys for sharing your impressions!

                I actually didn't know about lead passing...LB + pass is a little cumbersome on the fly but it's better than players about-facing when thrown the ball...

                  You'll get used to it pretty quick 24th. I could have sworn I posted it earlier. It makes a WORLD of difference on fast breaks.

                    WTF, since you seem to possess all of the "nuggets" with the game... how do you call for a specific player to come and set the pick for the PNR?

                      A little different from other games. You "feather" the left analog stick towards the guy that you want to set the screen, much like you would if you were going to pass it. You'll see a circle indicator underneath of his feet. Then hold the "Screen" trigger L2, and he'll come and set a screen

                          Ps4 or xbox 1? I don't think I have had a new update on ps4.

                            No update for me either on my PS4. Wow if it's only for xbox 1 that's two updates in a row it's gotten without the ps4 getting one.

                                As someone who's not a huge basketball, I've ordered this order via BestBuy. I've been catching up on this thread and others and am REALLY looking forward to grabbing this.

                                Between the patch and $39 price point i couldn't resist. I'm a sports fan first and foremost so I appreciate and understand the rules of the game. My biggest challenge will be calling plays, especially defensively.

                                Just wanted to say thanks to you guys for keeping the impressions coming. Its been about 10 years since ive owned a BBall game and can't wait to dive into this on the Ps4.
