NBA Live 14 Trailer - First Look (Screen Captures Included)

[ajaxab]

We really do need to define what counts as 'gameplay.' For me, gameplay means seeing something that I would see if I was actually playing the game. Clearly, the previously released screenshot of Damien Lillard doesn't fall into that category. This trailer doesn't fall into that category either.

This is no fault of Live's devs. It's just EA's marketing team doing a disservice to their product. Again. If the marketers would just stop misrepresenting EA products, EA Sports games might not receive as much grief as they do. Maybe this is an accurate representation of replays or some CGI animations, but it surely is not gameplay. The result is that these trailers end up alienating people before the game even hits the shelves. At the end of the day, that's not fair to the devs.

The presentation , crowd , and that song got me hype as hell. Gameplay was meh ok. Seems live is worth checking out tho .

I took 10 screen grabs from the new trailer. You should NOT be judging the following images on graphics because it is from YouTube and the quality suffers. The images give you a look at some small details though that you might have missed.

*EDIT: Steve beat me to the punch, there are some different ones though!*

If it's fun, semi-realistic, has good online play, and you don't have to slave for VC, it's definitely going to convert a lot of people.

I Can't say that I'm impressed with this trailer. It was "meh". I don't like the skin textures. Still looks plastic. But like always, the shoes look great!! This trailer really didn't show much and didn't wow me at all.

IMO, looks like live still has a lot of work to do. But it's good that they will finally commit to putting a game out.

And why couldnt we at least seen Kyrie finish the layup lol.

I can give you the Live fanboy answer, or the 2K fanboy answer.

It def is an upgrade.....movement looks smooth on Kylie's part ,but need to see interaction between players.

Graphically, def better than current gen. Just look at the crowd, they are all 3d.

Player models look real, and the sneakers don't suffer from the Frankenstein feet that 2k suffers from.

I give it a B- until I see actual gameplay of five on five
