NBA Live 14 Trailer - First Look (Screen Captures Included)

Re: NBA Live 14 Trailer - First Look (Screen Captures Included)

a typical nba live game does not move like this but at the same time its hard to judge this game off this short trailer...yea the graphics was always decent for live other then that elite game smh but the dribble looks better even tho live never had issue with this department either...but i don't see how anybody can judge anything from this trailer other then the graphics

p.s i love the details on kryrie i think they showed just abour every tattoes that he has on him

I can see things they tried to hide..some things for sure, which is why its spliced up at particular points.

Besides that, there never were really any NBA Live dribbling complaints, so again that's just typical. As long as the defense is balanced and not overdone again it should be okay, but if not you're going to have to dribble like a maniac to drive around a player.

I like that accessories and stuff are right, and hopefully it busts 2k in the mouth enough to make them understand that stuff needs to be right.

The trailer is okay, but there is nothing here that screams for my $60

Honestly, I probably spent like $120 on 2K13 counting VC purchases, in addition to countless upon countless hours farming VC--and for what? Just so I could get a few of my favorite legends on my MyTeam squad. And I think my case was pretty typical. I can't do that again, which is why I'm really hoping 2K changes that system or LIVE is good enough where I don't miss the modes 2K offers.

Re: NBA Live 14 Trailer - First Look (Screen Captures Included)

So it didnt bother you with how badly edited it is?

How Felton just completely disappeared then magically reappeared again in the dribble sequence? That's just one instance

I don't think Felton disappeared, Kyrie just backed up and the camera cut him out of the scene. I mean based on NBA Lives track history it's easy to dissect the video aand point out the negatives but I also think there's some positives in this brief clip.

• Kyrie's dribbling looks smooth and fluid, and the fact that his dribbling style is 1 of over 50+ packages intrigues me.
  
• The first step that Kyrie used after the jumpball had some bounce and realism to it that I really liked.
  
• The footplanting seems to be on par and looks nice, he even shuffles a little bit when first walking up to Felton.
  
• The way Kyrie gets low when going for the crossover is a basketball fundamental that i'm glad to see incorporated into the game realistically.
  
• Graphics look tight, and something about them just makes me sense some type of physical nature to the game.

I just get a sense of solid basketball, but at the same time it's not canned or predetermined but seems like you can really have a fun free flowing game of basketball coming from NBA Live this year. Plus the other features like team specific playbooks, and defenses catch my attention because as an online gamer I just want the tools to coach my team successfully, but the controls to outplay my opponent at the same time. Live seems like it will deliver that in my opinion.

There wasn't much to see, but I'd find it hard to find a flaw with anything that was shown.

So far so good.

Im not pointing all the negatives out or I would've gone on.

I was responding to your the more you watch it the better it looks.

Well I feel the exact opposite because the bad stuff sticks out like a sore thumb to me, and the splice job looks really obvious.

I dont even want to talk about dribbling anymore because im going to scream if people keep talking about dribbling when that was never an issue. Thats like continually talking about how NBA is a basketball game and not a FPS.

Anyway, Im watching it less and less now, I dont like the hook line and sinker jobs that EA trys to pull and I'll leave it there.

Re: NBA Live 14 Trailer - First Look (Screen Captures Included)

I agree with not putting a hockey guy over b-ball but im glad they didn't listen to Mike Wang because most likely we would have 2 games thats similar and im not saying he's not good at his job. That gen just wasn't ready for the vision they had and honestly I think Live 14 is going to be what Elite should have been.

i think your forgetting the fact that Peter Moore has said on multiple occasions that its going to take 2yr+ to even compete with 2k (not bringing up 2k to start a fanboy war, just stating Peter Moore words)... He said 2 yr+ more man... What i take from that is the live 14 is going to be a foundation layer for yet another 3 yr goal... Like elite 11, live 14 is on the same 3yr vision cycle.. thats a shame in itself cause the have had 3yr+ off... But i think you guys really dont understand that there are going to be some core areas of Live 14 that havent really been worked on and are planned on being touched by EA in the next 2 coming yrs... I know people excited to have EA basketball back, but really overseeing the fact that Peter Moore keeps telling us that this is a 3yr goal again, somethings missing or havent been touched up

I hear you. I have to disagree on the dribbling part, it has to be talked about, they deserve that credit at least. I don't want to drag this on since you're tired of hearing it, but i do feel like NBA Live is setting a very solid foundation for the future.

None of the features there touting says to me "Oh this will be gone by next year" like protak from Madden, but more of a rock that will hold the house together and even be built on over time.

I can see this game improving year by year, they just have to get the pressure of this first year off, but the potential to be a great game is right there.

Sad part about it is I've thought the same thing about previous Live's. 10 being the most recent one I had that feeling about.

Here's to hoping for once EA can stick to the plan!

Re: NBA Live 14 Trailer - First Look (Screen Captures Included)

Yeah. I didn't understand people knocking the arena. Looks great to me. The only thing off is that there isn't that much space between the seats and the court on the baseline. But that is irrelevant.

And MSG isn't an arena where fans are standing up and hollering acting crazy.

Also they're saying with the "EA SPORTS IGNITE" engine they're using that the sidelines and crowd will be dynamic and respond to what's going on in the game. Really makes you want to see more.

Re: NBA Live 14 Trailer - First Look (Screen Captures Included)

It looks like typical NBA Live to me, whether that's good or bad is up to individuals who are watching.

I agree...

Good post. Articulated my thoughts better than I could have.

And there it is right there. Even if everything turns out to be right with this game, the real test comes with Live 15. Live has not been a series that has been horrible year after year. Some years have been moving in the right direction before only for some clowns upstairs to decide that they weren't seeing enough dollars to keep moving in that direction and forcing an abort on the infamous three year plans. Too many dudes want to ignore all those aborted three year plans to write unneeded hashtags and **** like this is Twitter or something.

Its looks decent, but its just not enough to sway me to purchase it especially knowing I have 6 copies of NBA 2K14 paid of, (1 PS3, 2 360, and 3 PS4). And I only get one NBA game. Looking for to the demo though if they release it.
There's still "Live" tendencies in this trailer that were bad points from previous Lives... so I know its not from the ground up..

[bumpyface]

Where the gameplay? Seriously?
