NBA Live 14 Review (PS4/XB1)

Re: NBA Live 14 Review (PS4/XB1)

Well in summary the OS preview said its a day1 purchase 2 weeks ago. Since we never saw gameplay tho I should have been worried I guess. Then 2 weeks later we get a review of 3.5. Understand my frustration

Again, you chose to believe the wrong people and those people were not part of the OS staff. Where is this preview you speak of?

It's amazing how often OS goes from being in EA's pocket to completely biased against them in favor of 2K depending on the accuser's argument at that given moment.

I totally agree with this review. I've played EA basketball since Bulls v Lakers. Live 95 was one of my favorite bball game. I get Madden ever year and NCAA football every year. My point is I want Live to be good. It's just not. I played the demo and I'm not waisting $60 on a last gen game. I have Live 10 and it's much better than this garbage. Me and a friend started playing this because he wanted to check out my Xbox1. I was embarrassed because of how terrible it looked and played. It made my new xbox look terrible. Lol. I want to say this is the Madden 06 of next gen but, Live 14 is worse.

-gameplay is bad
-graphics and player movement is bad
-physics bad
-ball dribbling/physics bad
-arcade gameplay
-frame rate issues

The list goes on and on.

It's sad to see how bad Live has become.
If you want to defended it fine. Enjoy your terrible game.

Um, it was headlines on everywhere that OS supported the game and day1 purchase. They did a podcast about it.

Bro, you're definitely making things up if you're saying OS called Live a day one purchase. Pretty sure no staff member of OS even got to play the game outside of anybody that may have tried out the dribbling at E3.

Im on the road. Can't now. I know I saw it. It is on EAs NBA Live Facebook page. Big picture and quote from OS that said "I played it, I want it, Day one purchase"

I believe he is referring to the Press Row Podcast with Rich Grisham, and his experience seeing and playing the game. I don't recall him saying that it was a first purchase or if he even recommended it. I do remember him saying that he was definitely getting it, and they had somewhat of a foundation.

Re: NBA Live 14 Review (PS4/XB1)

He is probably referring to this screenshot, which EA Sports was circulating through its social media accounts:

Spoiler

But the author of that quote, Richard Grisham, writes for Games Radar and a few other outlets, not for OS. On OS, he is in charge of the Press Row Podcast.

As far as OS' written coverage of NBA Live 14, we put up day-one impressions of the game that were just as negative and damning as the final review:

I don't believe OS had any other written previews of the game, aside from what Steve Noah wrote about his E3 experience:

That graphic was misleading then. I thought it was 100% operation sports. Pays to read fine print I guess. I wonder what that games rader dude thinks now? Does he still like the game as much as he did a few weeks ago?

EDIT: I found his review. Review makes no sense, he talked about it's problems, but it didn't seem like a 2 out of 5 review. Either way, someone explain to me how a "day1 purchase = a 2 out of 5"

Richard Grisham gave NBA Live 14 a 2.5 out of 5 ("Mediocre") in his review:

http://www.gamesradar.com/nba-live-14-review/

He, Pasta Padre and a few other guys also had an hour-and-a-half discussion on NBA Live 14 that went up the same day the game hit stores:

he pretty much says what ive thought about it. the game does a lot right and has potential but it has a long way to go.

So wait. When he had the podcast where he was playing the game and he was with the Live Devs, he said none of this. And he sounded very pleased with what he was playing.

The game couldn't have changed since then and now.

This is why I'm sick and tired of people just sheepishly playing Yes men and smiling in these guys faces just like the Bleacher Report reviewer.

If the game looks and plays like trash, TELL THEM. No one was allowed to see the game except for a select few and those who did were just happy for the ride.

You actually do them and the community a disservice by not saying anything or acting like it's all good.

Then when the game drops, you give it a low score?

What part of the game is that?

did you listen to the same podcast as me? throughout the whole thing he said there are a ton of rough edges but theres something there. lets also remember that that was a single time playing the game and the review was based on more time playing the game.
