NBA Live 14 Has Arrived, Post Your Impressions Here

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

Guys, seriously, maybe everyone ignored my new update news and belive i'm a dumb man, but yesterday when i started live, it started, update 1 of 3, just like the other time. I dowloaded that, and could see some improvments, especially in more fouls on drives, less dunks, and the game running more smoother with more ball/rim interactions. No one saw this new update too? I'm on xbox one and i'm very surprised no one said anything about this last update.

I'm on PS4 and I didn't get anything. Did you happen to have to clear your system cache for some reason? I'm wondering if it's something like that. Hopefully other Xbox'ers can chime in here.

I finally played NBA live today and the demo and the retail copy is night and day, which is a good thing, it feels and plays very good

I do have a couple issues though PIP is ridiculously high, this might be a personal issue but I'm struggling with mid range shots and 3 pointers what am I doing wrong in that respect?

The PiP is going to be high. I can sometimes hold teams to 45% PiP but moreso you're looking at 55-70% PiP I'd say. As your defense gets better, that number will drop though. loadleft can probably chime in here and give his description of "how" to stop that.

The shooting on Mid Range shots, I don't have a problem with. Everyone's release is different. It'd be nice to have a practice mode for this reason. I'm comfortable with guys' releases after shooting a few times. There is a circle indicator under your shooters feet, when it's time to release, the circle will "flash" white. Watch it a couple of times, and take notice on your guys shooting form on "when" he should be releasing.

Also, when I'm past 15' out on the floor, I hold L1 going up (like a bank shot). Normally from that far out, they won't try to bank the shot, but I do think it's an internal mechanic making them square their body up for the shot. Leaners and faders are a little more difficult to make.

So did they take game atmosphere out of the game? I can't find it anywhere...

Guys, i have one question about the roster ratings. What's those numbers in yellow, like Melo overall rating for an example. It's a yellow 90. Is that numbers that have changed after an roster update?

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

Just want to ask in case I am doing something wrong...

If a spot a player in the lane and throw a quick pass...there is a half a second-second pause before the player does up for the basket....sometimes it's just long enough for the defense to react....

Is this just the way the game is designed or should I be pressing some thing else?

I think that is something that needs attention in future updates.

I've been playing the last couple of days and I'm really getting into the game.

But I cant for the life of me stop the CPU from getting to the cup! What am I doing wrong?..

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

So the anticipation of getting this game actually has me watching a 76'ers game. Again, I'm a sports fan in general, and a 4-4 philly guy so, I know what's going on in the game of basketball. Just not a huge fan, nor do I generally actually sit and watch a basketball game. Though I have, and I've been to a handful.

HOWEVER, I've plenty to learn about defense, play calling, time-outs, subs, and just general strategy outside of scoring and trying to stop my opponent from scoring.

Is subbing something done automatically or do you need to manually sub in and out? And timeouts are basically used to stop runs/call plays when you need?

Try some defensive adjustments under Coaching Options...

As said in the defense thread, fronting the post works pretty well....doubling works as well..

At the end of the day though, if the CPU wants to score inside, it's going to...really sucks how the CPU will run the shot clock to about 20 seconds, dump it down low to a big and just score on you at points...

Hopefully it's something they look at in a patch..

The numbers in yellow are ratings above 90 so you can quickly scout players and find out what they're good at.
