NBA Live 14 Gameplay Trailer

Re: NBA Live 14 Gameplay Trailer

I just can't get into it. I never thought I was a visuals guy but the competition just makes this hard to enjoy. I'm with the group that thinks the animations are stiff.

The only saving grace would be absolutely phenomenal game play, a deep franchise mode or possibly an awesome online franchise/league mode, and a great sim engine...and a few other things.

The bar has been set so high and I can't view this game in a vaccuum.

However it's silly to assume these people don't want to put forth a good product, and that they're not passionate about their work. That goes for both EA and 2K. I just think EA as a publisher is more inclined to sacrifice quality for financial gain.

Unfortunately with EA it's not silly to assume they don't have a passion for what they are doing. You can hear it when current devs talk about their games and always comment about how relieved they are that they are done with it. It's also evident in the Tuner system that they integrated into their games. They did that to perfect products after they release them. Care to take a guess how many tuners have been released for Madden since they introduced that concept. Once the game is pressed 99 out of 100 times thats the last you hear from EA. We get two generic patches that fix mostly problems they knew about before launch and then they basically wash their hands of the year and move on. EA just seems to numb really creative and productive people after a year or so of what sounds like them beating their heads against the wall begging for change.

It's like my Bengals use to be. The best players were rookies because they didn't know any better. A year or two in the system they became Bengalized and started playing like all the other cast offs on the roster.

What you don't have to assume is how they feel coming out the door at the end after trying to work at EA. Just take a look at some of the opinions from developers coming out the door, some let go some quit. All have similar thoughts coming out.

I really liked the dribbling, and graphics were...ok...not great but OK.

My problem is that this is a "hype" trailer, it's supposed to make us all go "Wow, did you see that?!"... and at least for me it didn't do it. It was just like watching any other trailer from a current-gen game that doesn't really make me excited.

Because the hunch pushes it up. This is real-time physics!

Drop your PSN gamer tag in here so I can test out that PS4 check-in feature and watch you play NBA2K14 in slow motion from cinematic angles.

I think we all realize that we will not be playing the game from close up but, what are people expecting it to somehow transform into a monstrosity once it's turned to a broadcast angle? I can understand if you mean you want to see more gameplay to make sure it plays like basketball(which from what I hear CG already does really well) but if you're concerned with the graphics I'm pretty sure what you see in the trailer is what you're gonna get in game.

Awful. Sad to call myself an NBA Live fan back in the day...no where close to that now...and that video just solidified it. The only thing I liked was the "shimmy" Carmelo gave before he shot on the baseline. At least I hope that was on purpose. After he shot, I cleaned up more barf from my shirt after the way the play looked overall. It looks like EA is going by the wayside overall. Not looking good.

the trend continues...i always thought that the ball looked too small compared to the rim and it still looks that way

[ScalettaVinci]

Wait.. On DWade's dunk, does anyone else notice that it's only 2 Heat players on the court?

Re: NBA Live 14 Gameplay Trailer

Looks awful.

Predicting the Live series is done after this year...

EA Sports not looking so hot.

Re: NBA Live 14 Gameplay Trailer

Being a BIG NBA2k guy im a little biased. I would never buy this game as NBA2k has made me very happy with my basketball experience for years now. Honestly the game looks OK. Not really in 2K's ballpark yet IMO. Not great. the players look great standing still, BUT....


When the game MOVES and ANIMATES it just looks robotic. Very similar to madden animations IMO. I don't know the differences between EA and 2K and the way they "capture" animations but someone at EA needs to go "undercover" somehow to spy on how 2K makes sports games look so smooth.


The Derrick Rose clip was awful and his body just didn't look right or look like his movements AT ALL. I thought that was the worst part of the video.

I think the cover athletes for both franchises were pretty fitting. 2k has lebron, and many have sort of grown tired and bored of lebron, which is the sentiment many gamers feel about 2k at its current point. Yea 2k is the best, like lebron is the best, but we all want to find flaws in him, we all want a reason to hate them.

Live is rebuilding, like the cavs are rebuilding after losing that which made them in many peoples eyes..the best. So both have kyrie irving, a guy who has really drummed up a following. But the cavs are still rebuilding, and live...even now...is still rebuilding. There are a lot of things to dislike about lebron, a lot of things to dislike about 2k...but there is no denying it....2k, and lebron....still the best in the game...and live, like kyrie, have some potential....but they have a ways to go before they are equal to their opposition.

I generally cant say i like the trailer, and i mean TRAILER. I think a trailer is designed to hype up its product, and can anyone walk away from this trailer hyped up for live? This isnt even about whether u like what you saw or not, this is just about gaining some kind of fan momentum...and the trailer failed at that.
The music was mundane, the footage was mostly slow and pretty random, nothing was actually highlighted...but most importantly, the timing was terrible.

Kudos for 2k, they have essentially been playing pr chess with live this whole time. Everytime live makes a move, 2k counters with one of its own, preventing any real hype flames from being established. Live should have released this trailer a week ago, it would have allowed them to actually gain a little momentum...instead they let 2k beat them to the punch with their own full size trailer, and regardless of what you think you saw, its undeniable that 2k in just one short day took away every ounce of hype live would have potentially garnered.

Trailers dont mean anything in the grand scheme of things. Elite had some crazy cool promo vids leading to its release, only the product was revealed to be utterly broken. Transformers, Gi Joe, Man of steel. These movies had terrific trailers that really hyped up its product, except the product was pretty bad. How many movies win oscars and grammys that most people say "man ive never even heard of this movie"....so trailers and hype dont really always reflect the final product....

but they do tend to reflect how sales will go.

I wont attempt to review something about this game based on just choice scenes from both games....instead though i choose to review the trailers in themselves....and live falls flat on its face in that regard.

The constant "ITS OVER LADIES AND GENTLEMAN" quotes may be correct here. Unless live pulls a rabbit out of its hat, it really might be over for it. Because whatever hype live could have potentially generated for its game, 2k has effectively stolen it all. Live had an uphill climb before, but now they are trying to scale everest.....and im not sure they will be able to
