Re: NBA Live 14 Has Arrived, Post Your Impressions Here
Picked Live up yesterday, played it for a few hours last night.
-Doesn't seem like there are many fouls. Even with all the foul sliders maxed at 100, seems the only way I can draw contact is off the drive (holding R2). Also seems like there's not enough contact in the paint in general.
-Starting to get the hang of the dribbling system. I actually got half-decent at sizing up and breaking down the defender while stationary.
-CPU seems somewhat balanced. Feeding passes into the low block is still the go-to move, but they worked the ball around and even threw up a few contested Js from the perimeter.
-The controls actually felt decent. Basically what I remember from Live 10.
-Of course there are the issues that everyone has complained about (no sliders, 30 FPS when using baseline camera, generic dudes in the Live Season mode...)
Those are just some initial half-baked impressions, I obviously need more time with the game. There's definitely some potential here, though obviously tons of flaws. The weird thing about EA Basketball games is that they have a way of growing on you with extended play time.Comment

Re: NBA Live 14 Has Arrived, Post Your Impressions Here
Post play seems better, under the rim dunks are smoother and not bungie cord like any more.. if they keep paying attention to the small details this game can easliy sit at the same table with 2k.. YES I SAID IT! they do need more options for post play, like a skilled center or power forward who has an arsenal of moves. I have One question.. where does the IGNITE engine come into play? I thought the crowd would be more animated ...dont get me wrong they did a great job.. but some are synced like the crowd movements are choreographed.. they should be more FIFA like IMO. Also the ball dissapears into the stands instead of the crowd interacting with it.tehy would be great to see players falling into camera men and crowds like they do in EVERY single NBA game I have ever watched..Comment

Re: NBA Live 14 Has Arrived, Post Your Impressions Here
Haven't played in about a week but this is the type of game that is set up for weekly impressions thanks to the synergy and the way i guess EASports is now handling those attributes and animation triggers with it.
Right off the bat i see something different. lighting. i know i know not an animation per say but i swear that horrible GLOSS that the players skin would have giving player models this ugly 'sheen" is almost gone. players skins look more "matte" which is good because ANY bit of realism HELPS
That said.
I found a NEW way to play
I mention din my previous thread about gameplay setting through coaching options but now all this game needs universally is this setting and you have a VERY different game even after the 3rd patch
Just adjust THESE settings FOR all teams and leave other at whatever default
Defense:
On Ball pressure - Tight
Off ball Pressure - Tight
Offensive rebound Tactic- Crash boards
Tempo - Push
Game Difficulty - ROOKIE (believe it)
Auto motion calling - AUTO
What I noticed is that WE WANT the animations to come out so forcing them out with TIGHT,Crash Boards and Push helps ELIMINATE those ugly animations.
Game difficulty at Rookie HELPS the CPU ACT more realistic and be able to miss shots when even they're open(as any high difficulty they just SWISH IN)
Also as an impression the foot planting in this game is GREAT its JUST like Madden's true step and to be opinionated here looks a lot better than 2k's sadly.
Yes there might warping but the run animations are real good in transition for me.
Give these settings a try WTFLast edited by Tomba; 01-03-2014, 05:48 PM.Brand New Tomba Slider sets ready for Next Gen Versions of NBA,Madden and Fifa Stay Tuned...Comment

Re: NBA Live 14 Has Arrived, Post Your Impressions Here
I'm hesitant to try out anything
I'm one of the few guys that the game hasn't broken down for I guess.
With that said, I'll let 32 post his findings and I'll probably try to get these tried over the weekend. I've got a playdate with my 2 little ones in a few minutes to give mommy some relaxation time.Twitter - WTF_OS

Re: NBA Live 14 Has Arrived, Post Your Impressions Here
I wanted to add my brief NBA Live 14 story...
I bought the PS4 around Thanksgiving where I instantly purchased NBA 2K14 as I was amazed by the graphics. Before playing 2K, I downloaded the Live 14 demo and within minutes turned it off (and deleted it). I really believed at that time that it was terrible.
However, I began to become fed up with the other game as I am mostly an offline gamer and the lack of modes, the overall lack of polish, as well as roster updates led me to start following the Live forums where I started to hear good/great things, and really enjoyed looking at the screenshots (they looked better then I previously remembered from the demo).
I purchased the game last week for $39.99 on Amazon and re-downloaded the demo while I waited for the full game. I actually really enjoyed playing the demo the second time. Once I got my full copy and downloaded the 3 game updates I immediately noticed a huge difference. The graphics I really believe are top notch and I absolutely love the player models as I think they really portray the slim body types of many NBA players. After I settled on a difficulty setting and played some games I'm in love with this game! By far my favorite next gen game and I cannot put it down.
I realize this wasn't much of an impression, but for any of you who are currently on the fence I highly encourage you to give this game a try as I think many sports gamers would really enjoy it. I may be in the minority but I would give this game a solid 8.5 out of 10 in its current state.Last edited by mf756193; 01-03-2014, 07:19 PM.Comment

Tried those sliders on rookie Tomba and the game was just way too easy, I was up 30 at halftime...I'll try them out on Pro or All Star...it was pretty cool not seeing as much paint spam though,.must be a higher difficulty thing...Comment

Re: NBA Live 14 Has Arrived, Post Your Impressions Here
Just a thought
But saying this games a 8.5 is REACHING.
FIFA is a 8.5 Madden is a 8.5 This games more like a solid 7 with all due respectLast edited by Tomba; 01-03-2014, 07:26 PM.Brand New Tomba Slider sets ready for Next Gen Versions of NBA,Madden and Fifa Stay Tuned...Comment

Re: NBA Live 14 Has Arrived, Post Your Impressions Here
I play a lot of head-2-head games with friends and family. Has EA said anything/can anyone confirm if they're going to address this hopstep? With a lot of the deals out there and gift cards I received for Christmas this would be almost free. And impressions in here have intrigued me to want to give the retail an extended shot on my own PS4. But I just can't do it with this move as is.

Re: NBA Live 14 Has Arrived, Post Your Impressions Here
Yeah the reaching has gotten pretty bad lately. Somebody even said something to the effect of the player models being the best they've seen. Wow. I love that guys are enjoying it and it's nice that we're *hopefully* gonna have another year like '09 soon with two great options (here's hoping Sony hops back in or EA puts out a college game but that's wishful thinking). But 8.5 with no sliders/editing options in 2014?

Re: NBA Live 14 Has Arrived, Post Your Impressions Here
Ok Tomba you may be on to something. Just lost by 4 to the Rockets. Howard and Parson did the most damage to me.
I did not see one spinning or forcing baseline animation ALL game. I think the tight on ball pressure has a lot to do with the animations playing out. The CPU tried that move and once they were stopped they kicked it out and tried something else.
The CPU did push the ball every time down the court so maybe the teams that don't push the ball need not be on that setting.
The crash board setting was also noticeable. Maybe the combination of Howard and Asik against Barganni (spelling) and Melo was the reason, but is couldn't keep them off the offensive glass.
The Rockets also didn't shot a lot of 3's which isn't the way they play.
I'll play again, but I did like the way it played.
