NBA Live 14 Screenshot of John Wall

Re: NBA Live 14 Screenshot of John Wall

I couldn't agree more, I mean I got a kick out of both games honestly. I think it's because I'm basically an online only player, so I enjoy the competition. Both Live and 2k brought a different flavor in 2010. When I wanted to build fantasy team in an online association and watch my team of mediocre players lead by Paul Pierce light up the league I would play 2k, it was fun.

Then when I got tired of 2k, and I wanted to go online and break some ankles with NBA Lives freestyle dribbling I would play Live. They both served a purpose, I never really compared them but enjoyed them both for what they were, flaws and all. I'm just glad that's back.

I don't care who wins the selling war, I don't work for either company, just put out a game I like and I'll buy it. Simple as that. I haven't seen anything from either game yet that says don't purchase, or that says purchase. So I'll wait and see. Most likely I'll get both because I'm just a fan of basketball, and competitive gaming online. From what I've seen and read so far NBA Live looks and sounds good. Team specific defenses, signature dribbling, physics based net & rim interactions, ball physics, even better atmosphere, fun defense, and a game that is shying away from exploits (cheese); Live sounds like a game I would love to play when I get my PS4

Of course there's probably someone who's going to say, "Oh, don't believe the hype EA is lying to you, don't you remember Elite, it's all buzzwords." Well, I'll wait and see for myself, and it seems EA is pretty confident letting the us see and decide for ourselves.

Overall good screenshot, and just the way John Wall is protecting and holding the basketball does look like how he would actually handle the ball in real life. I like, I hope they've gone or will go into as much authenticity (buzzword, nope real word) when it comes to the post game also. If they came out and said we have over 50 signature post game packages I would probably start drooling just thinking about the variety and fun that would bring to the game for me personally.

This. I would love to have two solid, fun basketball games to play. I couldn't care less who makes it.

I just hope all the arenas aren't this dark. Not every team players under MSG or Staples Center lighting. Hopefully it's just picture editing affects.

I think one thing we can count on Live doing right is the arena atmosphere and presentation. NBA Live 10 STILL has better crowds than 2K, especially during Playoffs and Finals time. Made me feel like I was really playing a special game.

I'm tired of the screen shot under card. When does the gameplay main event come on?

Whoo I'm telling you, I would have my surround sound set on arena when I would play NBA Live 10.

There was a time when I was playing NBA Live 10 online and I was the home team. The game was cutthroat and I was shooting two game clinching free throws. My home crowd got so silent while I was shooting I could slice the tension with a knife. No sports game ever pulled me into the game that much, once I hit the free throws the crowd just erupted. It was such a great experience and really made the competition feel REAL.

From what Scott said in the Podcast that atmosphere is going to be back, and probably better than ever I'm assuming, especially with an ESPN broadcast package. The wait is on, I'll take any info you have EA, and this screen is not a bad start.

Re: NBA Live 14 Screenshot of John Wall

I think the screenshot looks pretty damn good, just like I think the one of Oladipo the other day is pretty impressive as well. But I'm obviously in the minority here. LOL. I just don't take this stuff so seriously anymore. If they still haven't released good videos before the release date, then I won't buy it. If they release some good ones and I like how the gameplay looks, I'll buy it when I get a PS4. Simple as that. It won't matter if they release a gameplay video today, most of you will want 2 or 3 more.

The EA Sports crew didn't take advantage of an opportunity, but that doesn't mean the game is going to be crap. It doesn't mean it won't be crap either, but time will tell. You people have zero patience, and like someone else stated earlier, it's pretty comical visiting the NBA Live forum here at OS. I'm just thankful I have more important things to do than gripe about a video game we don't know enough about to warrant griping.

Just want to point out this post and there are a few others, but I won't quote them all. Nobody has said they won't buy Live when it comes out. Nobody has told anybody excited about Live to not buy it. But posts like this and a few others that continue to try to paint this picture like that's what's going on are the real comedy in this forum.

What myself and the people some of you keep taking veiled shots at have been doing have voiced concerns about the game based on things we've seen that align with things we've already seen in the past. We're all basically on the wait and see approach just like you guys are, but when something comes up that raises a concern we voice it and based on past experiences you would be a moron not to. Some of you taking shots about not being able to say anything positive about Live without getting jumped on are being hypocrites because you're complaining about "letting people be excited" and stating opinions and all this stuff, but if anybody expresses anything other than complete and utter excitement by whatever bread crumb we get on the game then all the "hating on anything EA does just to hate" comments start flying out of the woodwork.

I think the most comical out of the whole thing is the constant bringing up of 2K. I'm begging you guys, go into and actually read the 2K forums for a change instead of pretending like they aren't catching the same hell. The color of the basketball in the LeBron screenshot over there got criticized too.

Skopin you're one of the worst. 23 criticizes 2K as well so saying that Live is the only bball game he has a problem with is completely inaccurate. Everytime you post a gripe about Live, you make sure you lump 2K into as well. 2K's flaws are all known and addressed and bitched about ad nauseam in the 2K forums. You don't have to deflect legit concerns here in the Live forum about what 2K is doing wrong.

Everybody here wants two good basketball titles on the market to choose from. There's really no need for the warring for no real reason.

Re: NBA Live 14 Screenshot of John Wall

I never said it shouldn't have been addressed. But you're making it sound like it was a game-breaking issue. I just find it hard to believe that Live is the only basketball game you seem to have a problem with. With any luck, both companies will be able to address the shortcomings from current gen games.

Everything with Live was game breaking seeing as though people rejected it and it got cancelled, but dont be so blind to think they can start back at that point and stay in the game.

My reason for bringing it up in the first place is because why am I seeing residue of it on a so called rebuilt nex gen game, and certain things are showing up on something as simple as a photo in the midst of them trying to hide things from the general public.

You probably should've quoted a different post because what you said has absolutely nothing to do with what I replied. LOL. I could care less what 2K does, and if I want to discuss 2K, I'll go into that forum. If Live is good, I'll get it. If not, I won't. Not too hard to see all the negativity in this forum, whether you are like that or not. So pick another post to break down because you're wasting your time on mine.

No it definitely is the right quoted post. Nobody is "taking things too seriously" (the worst, most annoying argument on all the internet), because people point out that they missed an opportunity to jump on 2K while they were focused on next gen doesn't mean they're saying that the game is going to be crap, etc. etc.

I said my post was directed at a few different posts, not just yours. The point is you guys are putting words in people's mouths whenever anything that isn't glowing with positives about Live is mentioned. These are legit concerns that people are raising and people are talking about people hating on a video game. If we were the EA hating, 2K fanboys that these posts imply why the hell would we be in here hating on everything EA does? We know without a single shred of doubt we'll have a game to play come November 15th and beyond that at least comes close to resembling the game of basketball.

But again, I'm greedy, I want as many good basketball titles on the market as possible.

Re: NBA Live 14 Screenshot of John Wall

I'm sure you guys have issues with 2k too and voice them but it's the way you talk to people on the live boards like they are idiots and shouldn't have an opinion. That doesn't seem to happen over there.

By yours truly, even. I'm one of the most pessimistic (realistic?) critics of Live and I still nitpick 2K. It's not just the color but the type of ball is completely wrong. Live actually had it right for years (aside from the latest John Wall screenshot) and I referred to examples from Live 13 (I think).

I'm also ripping them on messed up shooter ratings (based on raw FG% rather than situation and type of shot taken), and screwed up paint attacking AI with terrible interior defense on settings out of the box.

The ridicule that Live gets is because their track record, their marketing, their secrecy, the scant information, and the fact that their few sizzle trailers are either CG or seem to be hiding everything important in a basketball game outside of dribbling IS somewhat ridiculous.

I'm sure you guys have issues with 2k too and voice them but it's the way you talk to people on the live boards like they are idiots and shouldn't have an opinion. That doesn't seem to happen over there.

Because there aren't that many guys who make every excuse possible for 2K on their forums and encourage others to ignore all worrying signs.

And I for one went pretty hard at the few guys who had the same unjustified optimism regarding certain modes in 2K14 and ignored the mounting and worrying evidence before release.

So it's not so much that we talk to people like they're idiots and that they shouldn't have an opinion. It's that we're trying to point out certain opinions are bad ones and might make them look like idiots. :P

Thing is shooter ratings, terrible interior defense and all that stuff you mentioned has nothing to do with Live 14. We have yet to see the game enough to know if any of those mishaps are even in the game. People are judging a brand new game based on it's history which isn't right if you ask me. People need to let bigons be bigons and stop bringing up old things that make no difference.

It's obvious EA has some sort of schedule they want to release information on and it has nothing to do with how many people cry and whine for information. Be patient, they've said before they want the game to do the talking. Now when you finally see the game, get your hands on, and react to it then we can start to banter about it, but as of right now people are bringing up issues that they aren't even sure are relevant to the game.

Just because everyone feels entitled to information from them because they haven't released in a few years doesn't make it necessarily true. What you're entitled to is a good game, and if it takes some patience then wait.

Re: NBA Live 14 Screenshot of John Wall

Man stop. These people are the consumer. You dobt satisfy them then your product dies as simple as that. There is no entitlement..without these fans this series is doomed to fail...

EA knows alot about that too dont they? So yes if they repeat the same past mistakes they may as well hang up nba basketball for good. We've already had about 5 different basketball games die and this series is no exception. Ignore your fans and you end up stuck with another title not enough people care for to sustain a reason for you to justify a large budget. Don't be fooled

23, the blind faith in NBA Live is there and in full affect. I honestly believe no matter how bad this game is, it will sell for a few reasons. People LOVE NBA Live, certain people will look past all of its flaws no matter what and say the it's the greatest game ever.

People will buy it because it's not 2K. Some guys just wanna stick it to 2K, some guys just want a different game, no matter how bad it is. Just because it's different, they'll say it's better.

In all honesty, I think EA would have sold Elite 11, and it would have did a decent amount of sales if it weren't for Hard8times getting everyone on the Elite hating bandwagon.

It's a sad fact that EA can make this game, release it with all the same legacy issues and people will still buy it and defend it to the death.
