Live 14 Producer Sean O'Brien Talks Expectations, Competition with 2K

A few months ago they stated this will be a fully featured title.

Here's a list of the other additions their adding to the game. So I'm assuming there's a franchise mode featured for this years addition as well. The transparency the team is showing this year is something we haven't really seen from the NBA Live franchise. Usually they're all about the features and marketing, but right now they're basically saying we want to prove to you that we're legit. They also said that we'll have a chance to get our hands on the game beforehand (Gamestop maybe?).

So far they've proven to be on the positive side of the spectrum, and according to this article the 5 on 5 is completely rebuilt. So we'll have to wait and see.

Thanks. Hadn't seen that. Even if it's not as deep as Association, I could do with it. I loved Live 10. Last few years have found me really loving 2k. I play PC, so it's a pretty good experience, with mods and all. I'll be honest. I have next to no faith in this game, so far. I love Fifa more than anything, but Tiburon's efforts have left me with a fairly bad taste in my mouth towards EA in general. I have no interest in Madden. And marginal interest in NCAA, simply because I'm thinking it's the last one ever. All that said, I really need to be shown they are for real. I agree about them wanting to be transparent. But we have seen no gameplay videos or had full features confirmed.

It's almost as if they are once again trying to beat the deadline to ship. And that says, to myself, it's not quite right yet. Color me jaded, but it seems this scenario is vaguely familiar. When it comes to this game, I'm from Missouri!

I'm actually going to remove this game from my preorder for PS4 and wait for chatter on the internet about it, as well as 2K14 for it. I'll be off that day waiting for my delivery so I'll keep checking the net then see if I wanna run out that day and pickup either one or both.

What is that? Besides a good intro(except when the show Mario's close up and no one else is on the floor), the game moves like the players are on PSX. The sound effects on the rim are terrible and almost non existent. Back to the close up, I noticed this in Madden too, when some players celebrate a TD, why is there no single player on the field when the camera circles around?

My money is already on Next Gen 2k14 but I will get Live 14 also if it proves to be a solid alternative.

I actually might give live a try, nba 2k been the same game every year, past 3 years.

NBA 2K14 is incomplete for next gen, No Crew Mode & My Team is limited (no tournaments for next gen)

They haven't said anything about crew and my team not being include on next gen. Also we now nothing at all about how 2k14 and Live will play on next gen.

Live14 nor 2K14 have barely told us anything about their Next-Gen product so I don't get how ANYBODY can vouch for any of the 2 YET

and i know we've all seen the dribbling tech demo. If the game plays and moves like this during 5on5 action, and they have core bball fundamentals down, then i dont see why this game cant be good.

The movement looks fantastic compared to where live used to be

the problem is will everyone move and dribble like that, like they did in nba elite 11??? same story, different song!

They didn't dribble the same in live 10. Don't see why they will in live 14 with an emphasis on sig dribbles. As far as the regular dribble moves yes everyone has access to the same but the speed, feel and ability to lose the ball is different among players.

Looks great, but it doesn't impress me until I see it in a game scenario.

Threads like these is why most veterans don't post anymore. We turned a complete Live 14 thread into a 2k is great thread.

First off this interview was about Live and what direction it will take going forth. I think overall Sean O'Brien is saying a lot without saying much.

They acknowledge the faults in previous games, of course by other developers but overall as an EA project. They have main focus points that will be selling points and he discusses those areas.

He's not saying that other features won't be there as well, but for right now the physics engine has improved and allow them to do things not only mechanically to the animations but also with incredible physics.

Also we already know the graphics will be much improved, because EA has never had an issue with thicker detailed graphics. But the new artist are definitely focusing on player face details...





The crossover and bouncetek demo with Kyrie in the gym looked smoothed and very impressive. I don't see why those physics would change with 5 on 5.

Remember the practice Gym in Live 06 through 08 and NCAA Basketball series. The animations didn't change in game, so why would this be any different. Use common sense instead of fanboy hatred for the series.

Live 10 even with less animations, was still a more fun game online and offline than 2k10.

The Dynamic DNA was great and also was Dynamic season, I know they will rename it and call it something different this year, as they've already spoken about Synergy returning with their stat overloads, etc.

From the minimum they shown us and the many interviews, I'm optimistic, but I won't doubt that it will be good. M25 and NCAA14 were pretty solid with they new engine. I can see basketball being just as smooth if not surpassing them on the Next Gen consoles.

I will wait untill some actual gameplay from both games to see what I will do, I may end up giving live a chance for the first year of next gen.

[La Verite]

Been wavering on my XBO preorder. Pretty much waiting to see more of Live as it will be the system seller for me. Everything else I can suck up and play on my 360.

360 not that old yet.
