NBA Live 14 Interview (Dime Magazine)
 

Dime Magazine has posted an interview with NBA Live 14 Gameplay Designer Scott O’Gallagher, Senior Designer Ryan Santos and Producer Ryan Ferwerda. Below are some of the interesting tidbits of information, but make sure you read the entire article here.

• The goal is to make it exactly like the real NBA everyday and keep that updated and refreshed throughout the season. So everyday you turn the game on, you’re going to get the most authentic, up-to-date experience.
• Every time that you turn it on, if there’s new shoes that drop, there’s new player updates that drop or AI with Synergy Sports, you’re going to get that stuff within the hour in some cases.
• Synergy Sports is the No. 1 data driven and analytic tool that all 30 NBA teams are using. So basically, in this case for like Damian Lillard, we know how many isos he’s been in all year (and much, much more, read the entire interview)

Once again, there is quite a bit of information in the interview and we recommend you give it a read. Everything "sounds" good so far. Just looking forward to seeing some 5 on 5 gameplay later this summer.

Definitely a nice read after the drought of news around here. Seems like the Live team is confident in their product and they're really aiming for authenticity and replicating the NBA.

I see no signs of a cancelled product, so here's hoping for some positive gameplay videos.

That article made the Sim hair on my neck stand up. LOL. I do think it's important to remember that they compared themselves to the Cavs' a young and up an coming dev team so don't expect flawless perfection this year. They are still going to have some things they don't do well this year.

But what they will have is sounding NOICE!

I agree 100%

Good read, sounds good on paper we have to see how it plays out.
I really hope Madden is taking notes from what they are doing in NBA Live. Madden seems to be the least ambitious out of all them EA Sports titles.

Worst case Live will help push 2K. Best case we'll have twi great titles to pick from. EA is talking pretty, can't wait to see what they bring to the table
