StickSkills have posted their NBA Live 14 hands-on preview. As everyone already knows, testing out the BounceTek dribbling with Kyrie Irving was the only thing that was playable. An interview with Gameplay Designer, Scott O'Gallagher is also included.

Again, sounds great, and looks good in an isolated setting, but show us how it effects a 5 on 5 game of basketball.

As soon as he said, "We dont want you to be sucked into anything" I immediately decided to buy this game. 2k is the guiltiest sports game ever in that regard.

Or he could've meant Live 10 since that was EA's last game and thats exactly what happened there since they had the defensive recovery ratings WAY too high.

I was so annoyed everytime I crossed over someone with Deron Williams my defender would somehow magically get back into the play and force me into a contested layup

Yea, he could've meant Live 10, but I was talking about 2k. Too many times in 2k they strip you of control with animations. Not saying that it wasn't prevalent in Live 10, but its a huge issue in 2k also.

I fixed that in my edits.. I remember Derek Fisher being like a high 80's almost in the 90s on recovery. Was ridiculous

True, I honestly dont think he was taking shots at anyone. He just pointed that out, and it made me think of the issues I face everyday playing 2k.

Yeah I understand... Id go into defense but I dont want to derail this thread or forum...

All remains to be seen for now

EA focusing to much on 1 on 1 for my tastes. More of Live's arcade feel?

I wish EA would focus more on the core of basketball than the showmanship and glamour of the game. Bouncetek I sounds good, but basketball is won by ball movement not 20 dribbles...dribbling is for the purpose to get from point a to b...dribbling is cool but that's how turnovers happen...that said I hope they put out a more than oh this is our 1st attempt at 4G...they had more than 2 years to deliver...then again maybe this is karma for having the NFL liscense.

What are you 65, dribbling is how turnovers happen lol. I am pretty sure turnovers happen because of bad basketball plays or errant mistakes such as poor passes, mishandeling the ball, offensive fouls, 3 seconds in the key. Having the ability to control the basketball does not mean it is focusing on showmanship, it is giving you an arsenal at your disposal. I remember in live 10 the handles were decent but the pick and roll scheme was even better. If anything 2k degenerates to star player 1 on 1 spam.

I still need to see actual 5-on-5 gameplay footage before I comment on NBA Live 14. Sure, the things discussed in the interview sound good, but I have to see how they work in the context of an actual game.

[JerseySuave4]

if I never see that video of Kyrie Irving & a bunch of Ethiopians again, I will be a happy person. That video is pointless.

Totally agree. And it was because of the overbearing animations that 2K13 was the first NBA 2K game I didn't purchase since I first started buying games in the series with 2K3. And unless things change with the controls and animation, 2K14 will be the second.
