NBA Live 15 Fans Getting the Short End of the Stick

Is anyone really upset by this? I just have a hard time believing there is anyone out there who loves this series and is really bummed out by the lack of news. The only person who could possibly like NBA live are video game hipsters who like because everyone else hates it. I can see them now with their stupid hats.

Calling this franchise a dumpster fire is unfair to dumpster fires. From now when I see flames shooting from a dumpster I will say "Oh look at that NBA live".

Has 2k released gameplay details? Everyone needs to chill.

Forget gameplay details, we need to see Live moving. Not sure if you remember, but last year, before releasing the first trailer, EA released a teaser for that trailer, showing, if I remember correctly, Steve Nash dribbling while moving etc.. Some of us here spotted the bad movement already from that few second piece of trailer. It was pretty obvious already then.

As far as gameplay details, they have already said they had made 500 core gameplay improvements. That's all you need to know (which is basically...nothing). Live needs to show players move/behave like human beings before telling us "we improved X, Y, Z". This has not been shown, hopefully NOT because of obvious reasons.

I don't think that asking for players to move/behave like human beings is too much to ask for in 2014. Especially that they seem to be able to do it for other games (and if it's because different studios are making different games, then Live's studio is way behind the others, and EA isn't really concerned about that.).

Why don't they use the awesome nba live 10 engine and tweak that with next Gen graphics and be done with it?

Re: NBA Live 15 Fans Getting the Short End of the Stick

I don't know. Some said Mike Wang had some rights on it or something, but I don't know. It seems by the info released, though, that they are trying to go back to some Live 10 elements.

Re: NBA Live 15 Fans Getting the Short End of the Stick

Why don't you all wait and see what's in store for this year's version, as opposed to comparing it to last year?

I believe that those who are open to judging this game on its own merit, versus the recent history of the Live series, will be pleasantly surprised.

The development team is set, and they're a very talented group of guys.

Re: NBA Live 15 Fans Getting the Short End of the Stick

Also, for what it's worth, they deserve this thread, because if you make marketing statements, be ready to stick to them.

However, the devs aren't the ones that make those promises. To call this group lazy, or untalented isn't appropriate or correct.

WTF, come on man, I know you must have seen some assets or played the game. Spill the beans man, haha!

I'm excited for the game though, give it a chance guys, this week should open the flood gates and we literally just got the first 2K trailer last week....

He has???! Well then, WTF, do share...!

Maybe you can hold out five seconds or ten, maybe fifteen or twenty but after a while, no matter how much will power a person may have. It won't matter because you'll just have to tell us!!!

That's basically my mind set, as soon as the NHL demo release, I'm not even too worried about what the marketing is for Live 15. Just want to see the trailer, they also released an update (7 to be exact) on NBA Live 14 last week, so I'm just minding my business, playing those two games until they drop some more information. The more people who are irate about it, are the ones checking for news every 2 minutes

Has 2k released gameplay details? Everyone needs to chill.

Yes they added a new jumpshooting mechanic, shot fatigue, took out 1-3-1, curves " charge cheese" . these are just a few.

So what do we know about NBA live?????

I think it might surprise us and be very good. I hope

Of course, we are getting the short end of the stick! They sold us NBA LIVE 14 (and released it at full POP) !!! And that was terrible!!! They told us that they didn't have enough time for 14??? So they really have been working on LIVE 15, while throwing together some scraps, and called it LIVE14. How do you tell Us that, they are scanning faces for the game, and not put it into the current game? Then tell Us it's for LIVE15, wtf? How do you go from 10-15 dunk animations, to over 400 dunk animations in "ONE" development cycle???
I remember when P. Moore was heading the EA SPORT division, and wanted customers to see what was going on behind the scenes, and development of their games...(hope some of you remember that); so why are they so shady with all their products now??? Wait and see I guess!

Wait and see only works when you can trust the person behind the product and in this case the company, EA has to earn that respect back from the consumer, I respect your opinion WTF but we are a little more than a month from release and less than that before someone gets the game early, we have to see something soon before EA loses all chance to control the source material and not like last year when they claimed that their trailer was 100 percent gameplay and it clearly was not.
