This should have been released months ago

Only thing I didn't like is that the graphics still look Live 10ish..

Presentation is on point tho, I remember NCAA 10 had a ESPN and CBS presentation.. The atmosphere in that game was amazing..

An actual question for those who remember: When 2k had the ESPN license, they never tried to combine both ESPN and 2k presentation packages, did they? I don't seem to remember NFL or NBA 2k5 saying "...brought to you by 2k Sports!". Of course, I definitely could be wrong as it's been a while since those days.

Because they are doing it like a television broadcast. The broadcast is usually on ABC but because EA doesn't have ABC licencing they can't use it. They are using EA Sports like its a television channel. So therefor it's ESPN on EA Sports rather than ESPN on ABC. So they don't get sued by ABC.

...or they could just say "NBA on ESPN" because, you know, ESPN broadcasts NBA games on its own network, too. In my opinion, the "ESPN on EA Sports" takes away the real life/TV feel and says, "LOL YOU'RE PLAYING A VIDEO GAME!"

Either way, not the end of the world; it just annoys me.

This is going to be Madden 25-ish. I just feel it. Mark my words . Too bad, would liked for NBA Live to actually be of any competitive factor. Well, I guess presentation & roster wise it would kinda blow out 2k14. But I am truly starting to believe that that is IT! -_-

smh...

I love the ESPN presentation. I love 2k but this is one thing EA has going to for it.

You could call this game NBA Live '11, '12, '13... still the same strengths and weaknesses all over.

Makes you wonder why they took a few years off for this.
