Live and both 2k might just be holding out showing too much before launch. Seeing what the other guy will do? Maybe?

I doubt 2K even cares about Live. They're not legit competition until proven otherwise.

It doesn't matter what any of us say really, if they make a great game people will buy it--regardless of how many trailers were made.

Re: OS Roundtable: Does Live Stand a Chance?

2K only showed 4 animations today, Durant stepback, harden eurostep, and two midair dunks. Wait until we can really compare player movement and gameplay.

I could be wrong but didnt the eurostep, and dunks look exactly the same as CG?

At this point, I'm just waiting for our annual "failure to deliver" announcement.

They'll release. I'm confident of that. Even if they have to push trash out the door, they'll release. They simply cannot afford another failure to launch.

That said, what we're witnessing right now is exactly why I don't trust the game and what's been the franchise's biggest problem for years now. The decision making over there is horrible. There is no reason for 2K's next gen spot to steal momentum away from Live 14. Not this much anyway. They should have been littering Live news, info, videos and pictures throughout this whole process while 2K was focused on current gen. Instead they sat around talking about dribbling for the last three months and showing pictures of Kyrie dribbling. This is the equivalent of a team being down three touchdowns at the start of the fourth quarter and they're not passing at all, just running the ball, getting up slowly and making no real effort to close the gap. They're behind in this race and they haven't acted like it at all. That scares me.

Re: OS Roundtable: Does Live Stand a Chance?

2k has released two hype trailers focusing on animations! Why animations I mean 2k has always been good visually with animations. Just more of the same crap with them... No mention of anything about the game other than stats and I don't see playable 5vs5 either. Knowing their history it's a port since history tells all.

Ea has a trailer too. Yet in addition next gen tech ignite info, synergy, court q, playable Bouncetek demo and vid showing how it works. They have backed up what they are showing yet for some reason it's not enough. There is more coming this week and the weeks to follow. How is that scary?

2k is an outdated game. I mean it's 2013 and their gameplay is still mostly scripted!

Thats my #1 issue with gameplay and clipping. Those issues should have been some what fixed in the current gen but I guess its to hard for b-ball.

Just asking if 2k is outdated than what is live?

Some people Geeeesh,!!!

It doesn't have a chance to dethrone 2K, but it does have a chance to be fun. And that's what people should look for, not for it to beat 2K.

You have no clue what you're talking about do you? Focusing on animations? Wha? Do you even know what animations are? If history tells all then I guess we won't be seeing Live 14 at all now will we? Ooops.

I was going to respond to his post, but decided to let him to continue looking foolish. he doesn't know the difference between animations & visual/graphical upgrades. either way his points are mixed up.

Re: OS Roundtable: Does Live Stand a Chance?

I remember posting something similar to this last year around the same time. All threads referring to NBA Elite and NBA Live 13 should be required reading. Roll 'em out 23!
Until a title is delivered on time, NBA LIVE as a series is irrelevant. They have done nothing to gain any potential consumers favor or trust in the last 3 and a half years.

Strongly beginning to think if LIVE doesn't sell 2.5-3 million units with the NG title (wont happen) they'll be done with the NBA.

I'm sure it's not a good thing when your new head of operations doesn't mention you when speaking of the companies major sports titles.
