EA Sports Announces Rising Star, Career Mode For NBA Live 14

[Boilerbuzz]

Lets not start about what 2k has stolen from live.. every year they take something from live even when live was out

Oh Lord, can we all just shut up about who steals what? Every game borrows from each other. EA steals as much as it gets stolen from. So why even post it? It doesn't make one better or worse than the other.

I'm excited to check this mode out. I have not been happy with the direction of My Player. Frankly, I'm turned off by it's trend away from deep character development. One of my favorite genres is RPG and I was hoping I would get MORE of it. Instead, it seems I'm not the target audience. If Live heads more in THAT direction, if the gameplay holds up (not a given by a longshot ), I'm in!

Sounding great. Would love to have more details though, sounding way too similar to the other game's mode.

What else is it supposed to sound like? What is wrong with implementing a good idea as it is? Even if it sounds exactly the same, who cares? The mode is fun!

I never said there was anything wrong with Live implementing the 2k premise, but it would be cool to hear a couple details that differentiate Live's mode from 2k's.

And MyCareer is OK...lol

Another career mode, thats how your getting the masses pumped up for your game EA? I won't be convinced of anything till this game comes out, a 2 year project with nothing to show.....yet! 2K Sports has had the market for 3 years and they don't look like slowing down, I've seen claims that 2k is getting lazy, i think its more likely they have kept a few things for EA's return to the NBA arena. I personally think EA is going to bring out a good NBA game come October, but not a great one, and after the canceling of Elite 11, and the massive public relations debacles, I guarantee sports gamers will be judging NBA Live 14 a lot closely than NBA 2K14. Take it to the rack EA Sports, your fans are waiting and airballs won't cut it this year. Good luck!

I was hoping EA would do something innovative. Seeing a point based progression system essentially says it's EA's version of MyCareer. They really had a chance to do something special, but it looks like more of the same from a BAP mode stance.

I honestly have never played career mode, have no interest in it, is it really something to hype up? Maybe to some but to casual gamers its really not that important a feature.

Anyone else out there think EA should have brought out a revamped Adidas Live Run from Live 10? I know 2K have brought crew mode back again this year, and without opening up the "they took this idea" or "they had this first" that game mode was awesome!

Still possible that it might be returning. We still havent heard all the news yet.

Rumors suggest it will be called Ultimate Team like in other EA titles from past year, i suppose its similar to Live Run.

i like this news, and I have a feeling NBA Live will be a pleasent surprise for us this year, and I havent played Live since Live 07 i believe, but 2k didnt really take advantage of Lives absence imo, 2k kinda fell off compared to when they had competion so hopefully Live has paid attention to the things that have worked and the things that have failed for 2k over the last couple of years and made a great product for the next gen.

[DBMcGee3]

I mean, is it even confirmed that the game will be out? We're 6 weeks away from release and still not a single clip of gameplay, or really much info at all. It will be interesting to see how this plays out once 2k starts dropping feature videos every other day. I want a good competition as much as anyone, but it would shock me if EA made a game anywhere near 2k's current level. If they had something special, I have to believe they'd be eager to show it off at least a little.

If I'm not mistaken BAP modes are the most played mode in sports games.

I refuse to support a game on some fanboyism type stuff even if it's garbage. I want a complete gaming experience and a strong attempt at trying to compete.

[poloelite]

Everyone is missing my points. Both have stolen from each other while they were competing, YES!! But EA basketball is DEAD!! My point is you can't come back in doing something exactly the way your competitor is doing it RIGHT NOW!! Regardless of who had the original idea, the point is 2k has My Player and the announcement from EA sounds like a complete rip of what's out there. Why would someone buy the same thing from a company that has failed recently over a company that has thrived?? Of course you'll get EA fans that will buy no matter what, but the masses want to see things on the back of the box that will warrant a purchase of two basketball games. And I say two because practically no one outside of EA fans is passing up 2k for Live. But if Live took another route with their career mode and style, then you could make progress. But it's hard to beat the bully fighting like the bully, even if some of the moves were originally yours. He has all the power now and you have to be smarter and more innovative.
