Re: Another NBA Live 14 Screenshot

Is it me or do you really hate EA? I haven't seen you say one good thing about EA on this board.

If I'm right and you really don't like them, why are you in this thread?

Just curious...

I very much want EA to succeed with NBA Live and I will be buying it regardless on release day because I support competition amongst sports games. This is Live's first effort since Live 10 (that is releasing) and I will support it and view it as such. A start.

As for my distaste for EA, it really only stems from them buying out their competition and releasing a very mediocre football game.

I am excited for Live, just for providing 2K some competition. I don't think it will be anywhere near the level of 2K14 but that is expected at this point.

Madden on the other hand, doesn't get a "pass" from me after being the only football game released for 8 years.

It may seem as if I'm very negative about EA, but it's just because I am very upset with next-gen Madden.

I like this shot. looks like the pic itself is low res. but it looks good, I like the lighting. the real deal comes tomorrow though.

what I really like is they had the basket balls to drop this pic today after the 2K trailer. like they are saying "we know you are running things and have the edge, but WE HERE we aint backing down" LOL I like the good natured competition. who wins? us, the gamers.

I don't think live will come near dethroning 2k but if they can show me they are working with something I will pick up a copy for a change of pace

No one's shorts even reach their knee?!?!?!
Looks like Nike and Adidas shoes and everything else is generic.
Not good.

I took one thing away from that pic, how do they not have Derrick Rose knee pads ?

EA always screws up accessories. Something that other game seems to nail.

Re: Another NBA Live 14 Screenshot

I don't think I've ever been this excited to see some gameplay footage. I really hope EA really means that "LEGIT" comment. B/c the way Scott O'Gallagher talked about this game in the podcast and how smooth it was I hope it's good. I know the graphics won't beat 2k, but at least have good gameplay. That 2k trailer was amazing, I was scared for EA when that dropped. But, hopefully that trailer yesterday is no indication of what we see tomorrow.

Re: Another NBA Live 14 Screenshot

I'm not going to derail the thread, but you do realize that you should be just as mad at the NFL for the exclusivity. Just sayin...

Back on topic, I'm looking forward to what they have to offer tomorrow morning.

It'll be awesome to have 2 good games of the same sport again. Haven't had that in a looooong time.

Ugh... they still look like tall skinny slendermen

That's probably because basketball players ARE tall, skinny slendermen...

Live never had an issue with accessories and kicks. If my memory serves correct, when 10 was out they had a team that would update the players after they wore something in real life.

I looks good. What we have to realize is 2k will have to show similar gameplay vids. Which will shrink the players just like this. 2k looks great. But how will they match up gameplay wise. This looks good. And live will drop gameplay first. This will be interesting...

Sorry to burst your bubble, but NBA players are slender.

As a 2k fan, this is actually a solid pretty on point screenshot. This has me most excited about Live 14. The decisive factor will come Friday. EA's problem has always been movement. There is always that disconnect between screenshot and in game player movements. If screenshot translates into realistic animations, then we can honestly say real comptition is back in at least one sport title.

(even though Live 10 was praised, Live 10's player movement was terribly, robotically, toyish).

One thing that immediately stands out is wingspan.

not even the least bit worried about shoes.. or accesories.. nba live always nails shoes and accesories, especially in live 10.

Are you being serious or is that sarcasm? EA is normally the best at this stuff if I'm not mistaken.

agreed, that is usually one of their strong points, accessories
