I just loaded up Suns vs Pistons, and it's running perfect again. Speed is there, contact in the paint is there. Monroe went up for a dunk, or what would have been a dunk prior to, and the defenders body caused him to alter the shot.

The speed, off ball movement is what I like the most. I was trying to get past Jennings with Dragic a few minutes ago, and Tucker saw Frye on the wing, without me initiating it, went and set him a quick backscreen, I saw Frye cutting, and hit him for the alleyoop. It happened quick, just as you'd expect in the NBA.

I like the ability to slow it down, which had me enamored early on, but once you got a taste of the "speed", it's tough to go back.

That's good to hear then. EA needs some kind of press release, forum post, something, lol. It's like an experiment everyday with this game. I don't have the game, but I come to this forum everyday for the pure entertainment.

Like Sage said, it was under the basket. It was one of those that the pass goes into the post, help shades over, and the guy passes to the opposite side of the paint for the semi-open man. I'm sure you've had it happen time and time again.

But not this time. I've seen a LOT of altered shots. A lot.

Right, the only thing I could say I absolutely see different as far as yesterday is the increase in step back jumpers..

Anxious to see if there's more contact when I fire the game back up...

Probably tonight with the games about to start though, lol

I this one, I love the ball movement. I don't think I've seen that many passes on a particular possession yet. But my favorite thing happens on the other end, and the CPU AI's defensive recognition.

This one is just back and forth gameplay for a minute. I like the speed. At the end of it, you'll see a Green dunk. The defender is bowled over, but overall, I liked it. I was letting Jennings shoot, as if you can't tell.

Finally, pretty smooth gameplay followed by a Dragic to PJ Tucker oop.

The things they missed are finally starting to get to me with this game. I'm close to shutting down until the patch. I hate:

1. CPU doesn't call timeouts
2. Setting game to manual subs means no CPU subs
3. When calling a timeout while using auto subs, the players at the scorer's table that were set by the CPU to come in on the human controlled team don't check-in
4. Lack of adjustable cameras
5. Post controls are clunky

There are others as well but I'm running out of patience waiting for these things to be fixed.

I'm with you. I've been outspoken on how much I like this game - and I still do - but I am getting antsy for the "big" patch. These issues don't bother me as much, but the PIP - more specifically, how the CPU gets their PIP - is driving me crazy.

Finally got a chance the video(s), nice...first time I have seen contact like that under the rim...

Wish Monroe or Drummond (couldn't tell) would have won that matchup physically, but overall pretty good..

Agreed, plus killers like the late game A.I has stopped me from doing anything playing quick games... I think if it happened during a "meaningful" game I would go crazy,

It was definitely nice seeing that contact on the Green dunk.

Rebounds looked smoother too. The players didn't look so jerky going for them

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

Anyone else have trouble with calling timeouts? Sometimes the timeout is called when I press the touch-pad other times I have to scroll down in the menu after pressing that same button.

**Earl1963** · 01-11-2014, 05:39 PM

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

Also, the Pistons had 14 block shots last night in real life. Who says there's too many block shots in this game?

**drew_3** · 01-11-2014, 05:40 PM

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

Game is definitely playing differently tonight. Slight increase in speed is nice but remains a "basketball" pace. More animations that I havent seen before including contact and one lovely moment where noah put down a one handed flush off the fast break. Only played one game but there where more "oooh let me just replay that moments"

Definitely more ball and player movement too.

Is the playoff atmosphere as good as it was in NBA Live 10?

Live 10 still has the best crowd ever, IMO. In any sports game. Live 14 is really good but still not on the level of Live 10.

I still can't access it. It won't even appear as an option before I start a game...

Damn that sucks. That is a really weird bug/glitch.

Same, really hope it gets fixed in the next update/patch if it just a glitch.
