Did Live 14 permanently damage Lives reputation?
In my eyes lives unable to suceed has been almost 100% because of Live 14. Live 14 was probably the most hyped up live in recent years since it was "the return" when it came out with poor gameplay and awful graphics, It ruined peoples views on Live. I think this is a big reason why everyone comments "Looks like a PS2 game" on NBA live 16 videos, because everyone just think live sucks without even trying it now. Live 16 wasn't a great game yes, but it is far better then what everyone acts like it is.

I actually thought Live 16 had a touch of the other basketball game player movements to it. Live 16 still requires animation polish or overhaul during their jumping sequences but overall it's a massive improvement (player movement wise) over the robotic Live 10. Gameplay concern with Live 16 includes easy inside buckets, awkward looking layups and awkward looking hooks shot and other animations around the rim, and not enough midrange game. I do realize the game of basketball has changed, but when the graph charts only a couple midrange shots in 16, that's concerning. Live 10 (don't know why Giphy slows down Live 10 player movements so much. real gameplay footage shows much more robotic Live 10 player movements). <iframe src="//giphy.com/embed/m9tVgWJB9aEmI" class="giphy-embed" allowfullscreen="" width="480" frameborder="0" height="270"></iframe>via GIPHY Live 14 <iframe src="//giphy.com/embed/Gj0PSgPb4k8Ra" class="giphy-embed" allowfullscreen="" width="480" frameborder="0" height="270"></iframe>via GIPHY Live 16 (I don't know why GIPHY makes the Live 16 speed up so fast, it's not that fast during regular gameplay footage). <iframe src="//giphy.com/embed/UBH2xyVTXCnIs" class="giphy-embed" allowfullscreen="" width="480" frameborder="0" height="270"></iframe>via GIPHY |

I Think when you try to sell people on a "3 year development" process but seemingly re-boot each year.... it puts a lot of people off.

Current Live games have ZERO connection to NBA Live 10, not sure why its still being referenced.

It's REFERENCED because supposedly that was the last best EA NBA basketball released. It's REFERENCED because people say Live 10 is better than any Live basketball game released for the new consoles. I REFERENCED it because the player movements in 14 & 16 are significantly better than Live 10. People REFERENCE history because one needs to understand history before going forward. EDIT: Yeah, let's not reference Live 10. Looks like there is a pretty significant connection. "Zero connection" ... more like definite connection. Quote:

While Live 14 fell short of expectations, I don't think it permanently damaged Live's reputation. What's harmed Live's rep is EA Sports' inability over six years to release a truly tight game with solid gameplay since Live 09 and Live 10.
That said, I do agree that Live 16 is better than it seems to most people--in recent days, I've even noticed some good changes to gameplay in ProAm/LiveRun. But overall the game isn't even close to being great. I am pulling for Live 17 to be the best yet, but I'm probably not as optimistic as some of Live's fanboys on Twitter and YouTube.

Live 11, 12 and 13 damaged the games reputation. That fact that live 11 got pulled days before release told fans EA had no faith in the game. Then they don't even announce a 12 and say they are reworking things just to give us some crappy videos for 13 and another game that didn't see the light of day. It wasn't Live 14 that did it it was the three years between 10 and 14 that killed the series.
