NBA Live 14 Gameplay Trailer

Re: NBA Live 14 Gameplay Trailer

I see alot of positives in this trailer.

The dribbling was smooth, looks like there will be some combinations that will lead to some deadly crossovers. The post animations on the Kobe scene were nice. Shooting animations look smooth. NO MORE SLOW MOTION ALLEY OOP lol.

The bad thing, DEFENSE. The defense were nonexistent on various plays. Lots of herky jerky/sliding type movements were happening during all of the crossover scenes. The Nash pick-n-roll play still annoys me, just alot of things wrong with that play.

I like what I saw, it reminds me of Live 10, and that can mean great things. It still looks like it needs lots of work, but this is the "3 year cycle." But as far as something to build on, this is pretty good.

*sigh* This is the exact reason why people were saying that they should have released something earlier, because after seeing 2K's Next Gen trailer. Nothing they put out will even cause a fart of hype. Such a shame, this was like Netflix taking over Blockbuster's market. Completely wiped them off the map.

Re: NBA Live 14 Gameplay Trailer

o ok. i hear you smh

So the game *won't* be jerky even though it looks that way? So terrible and twitchy animations won't affect your gameplay?

What you're saying is the equivalent of watching someone spit in your food and saying, I can't judge because I haven't eaten it yet! :P

Ugh, the spastic bad animations need to follow suit especially Curry's defense on Deron:

Why would someone do that? live 10 that game was a great foundation

You know what? I REALLY LIKED IT.

Positives: The dribbling looked good. The shots look spot on, the animations looked better. Not bad. Wasn't as good as 2K's trailer, but not bad.

Negatives: That Steve Nash clip still made me hurl. The net physics are still lackluster, but not enough to take you out of the immersion. No, the PS2 like dunk animations where the fingers don't even connect on the rim do that for you. That last dunk was bleh.

Edit: Looking back at some of the dunks...there was 1 nice dunk, and that was the D-Wade dunk. Everything else was meh. It's like there was something missing from them. I think it was because I could only get a sense of ferocity from D-Wade's dunk. The others didn't have enough force IMO.

my sentiments exactly. Just on aesthetic appeal alone this game will not measure up to 2k but this is expected since EA has been gone for so long they have to start somewhere. Although you would think issues like the net physics would have been fixed since they had so long to work on it...

Shoes and lighting look next-gen rest of the game looks like it has still been left in current gen, Just being honest and I would be lying if I didn't.

Re: NBA Live 14 Gameplay Trailer

So what youre saying is they could make a game look as good/better than 2K but they just decided not to? Yet?

And I thought about it. Still makes no sense. Why would you turn your AI down for the trailer? Wouldn't you want to show that defenders react realistically to your crossovers but you still get pass them? I don't think anyone wants to see dumb defenders. That makes doing the moves no fun IMO.

For some reason you think i'm supporting the fact that they would turn down the A.I. I agree its a stupid idea but its most likely what they did. I'm holding out hope that the A.I in the game really isnt this bad.

Regarding the graphics.. I'm saying that EA has the technology they just arent utilizing it.

Lol what?!?!?!?!? GTFO. Your inability to properly think for yourself astounds me. It really does.....

Your ability to detect my lack of self thought through that post astounds me.

The AI is not turned down man... the denial needs to stop. First it was this is an old build (which it wasn't) and now AI is turned down... turning the difficulty down doesn't produce some of the waste that we saw happen.

This is what they claimed to be "legit" gameplay, and the thing is filtered and spliced and doctored to try to make things not appear so bad, but it is that bad to where its apparent anyway.

We waited til Friday, and now we are going to keep denying what we see when the game will be out in less than a month, going gold and all of that guarantees it has to be completely done and approved by MS and Sony within at least 2 weeks so they arent going to be tweaking the game until the day before release.

I know its disappointing and it is, but they've had enough excuses though. The last time they had a game come out was when GTA IV was released.

Cmon man...

What i dont understand is the passes they are getting for having to only work on 1 game on NEXT GEN...there should be no animation issues, there should be so much more you can do with a payer...dont give them a pass for this years iteration solely because you want an NBA Live game to be good.

Re: NBA Live 14 Gameplay Trailer

You have to give EA major prop's for the marketing of their videos.



It's just a shame when you fire up the game chances are you won't ever see any of that stuff duplicated on the court. I fully expect to see some of the most generic PG play ever which is why I'm convinced they haven't showed any 5 on 5 action other than trailers.

Re: NBA Live 14 Gameplay Trailer

It's a real testament to the fans that Live has that you can come out with something of this caliber compared to the competition and still have people defending it or buying it just because . Just hope their quality of work can someday live up to deserve that praise.
