Re: NBA Live 14 Gameplay Videos - Los Angeles Clippers vs. Phoenix Suns (PS4)

I am. Day one purchase for me.

I'm just happy to be able to play a basketball game that isn't 2K at this point. I'm sure I can have some strategic, sim match-ups with some people online, so I'll be happy.

You mean you haven't bought it already?! Such a huge fanboy like yourself should have had it already. Hell, if I have it, no way you shouldn't.

Idk whether you're being dsarcastic or not, but the ignite engine isn't it's own stand alone engine. It just takes other technologies and combines them.

I'll let you figure out if I'm being sarcastic. Is not an engine a collection of systems and technology? Has EA not been marketed it as a new shared foundation for which they are building their next gen sports games on? If this isn't an engine, then what is? How do you know when it's been redone? And don't say, "you'll just know". How do you even know if a "new engine" would address the issues people have? How do you know that this isn't already using a new engine?

Engine, engine. That word needs to die.

Nah, people need to learn what an engine actually is or just not even try to talk about it.

Also, I'd be interested to hear people's definition of spacing. Cause some of these comments about "great spacing" and the spacing being a positive for the game raises an eyebrow for me.

I think most of those comments are just parroting dudes that see a wide open lane and think that's good spacing.

The spacing is good. Players go to the right spots on the floor and don't crowd each other.

I only bring up 2K in this regard as a comparison. If you watch the 2K CPU vs. CPU videos that Sports Gaming Universe posted, you will see many possessions where the spacing is not so good. Players crowd each other, they run to inappropriate spots on the floor, they get in each other's way, they move without purpose, etc. Whereas in Live, they stay out of each other's way and generally fill out the floor properly.

Right now it's a bit bare-bones but I expect to see more motion once DNA is implemented, for off-ball tendencies such as "Cut To Basket" and so on. But as of right now Live 14 clearly has the more fundamentally sound spacing.

Why are you pushing me into a corner like I'm defending them? I think they're a joke as a company. I have no respect for them whatsoever. They feed us lies time and time again. I'm just saying what I believe may help them produce a better product, and they're not going to do that by sticking with the in game engine they have now. I just think you're very very very confused with what the Ignite Engine truly is..... The in game "Engine" NBA Live has for their graphics, animation system and core game play mechanics is completely different from Madden 25 and Fifa 14 from what I can see. I realize that EA Sports stated how the Ignite Engine is supposed to help them share technologies with animations and what not. Although, NBA Live 14 just doesn't look like it's sharing a single thing from any of the other titles is all. Don't be a sarcastic little prick to someone when they're only pointing out what they believe will do something to push the product forward. You must have a hard time getting along with people huh there chief? XD

This. Game sucks bad this cant be next gen ... The graphics would even not be great on ps3 how can a billion dollar company not get some good art designers at the least? But ea is smart business man thats why they bought the nfl license because they knew they wasnt going to be able to compete with 2k in the future... 2k rules live and thats a fact not a opinion!! Nba live had to cancel they game for 2 years and thats just the truth ... I played live up to 09 and i was in denial i wanted live to be better then 2k but it wasnt .. I bought 2k10 and never looked back...

By the way anybody see kyrie irving on 2k14 next gen ? He looks amazing !! He makes the live irving looks bad

[Feevision]

So, I went through and watched all four videos and was EXTREMELY disappointed. Poor graphics. Crowds are awful. And the commentary? Short choppy, mostly generic. Hey EA, pick up The Show or 2K and listen to how it actually CAN be done.
Then I start reading some comments and some people say this game looks good?!
So I went back and re-watched them. All. Thinking maybe I had missed something.
And guess what? I didn't.
I honestly think this is very early PS3-quality stuff.
25-year sports gamer here and always was a big Live fan through the years, but this is an embarrassing effort. I truly can't believe EA spent all this time and this is the result. It's time for EA to cut their basketball losses and bow out.

Know everything u said is the truth!! Anbody that think this game looks good must been playing dreamcast for the last 7 years....

It's not entirely the developers fault. It's mainly how EA directs each of their employees, and what kind of resources they give their developers to work with. Blame EA the company as a whole, not just the developers. I feel your frustrations though.

[Moose Factory]

Wow. They should have just released this current gen and waited a few months or next year to refine it more for next gen. There is no way I'm buying this for xbox one but I maybe would have for xbox 360. More empty promises from EA... "Living worlds", "Ignite engine", blah blah blah catch phrases.

Re: NBA Live 14 Gameplay (Suns vs. Clippers)

Graphics suck, Commentary sucks, gameplay looks horrible.

[dunner2130]

Is this ps2 or ps4? Trash

[dunner2130]

2k is light years ahead of them and it's not close

[willh313]

Look if you dont like NBA 2k thats fine...it's not for everyone no game is....NBA 2K 's guys do have spacing problems IF... you don't adjust your settings once you do it's a none issue unless YOU break the play or run around like a chicken with it's head cut off. The presentation on 2K is actually better DESPITE the fact that they have no network backing on 2K and the commentary interviews ect trumps this game period. I would rather KONAMI bring back In The Zone or Tecmo remake the Basketball game or hell even Nintendo get Retro to make a sim again than support this. You can't let EA get away with this kind of crap, the fact that they charge $60 for this is an insult. Again if you don't like 2K I understand but by all means buy a used Live 10 before copping this. We can't keep bailing EA out when they pull this...Honestly 2K is MUCH smaller and they make a SOLID current gen AND next gen game in one year...these cats have had 4 years and EA shuffles them around so much that this is the best they can come up with?!?!!?? How is your cover athelete looking better in the competitions game than he does in yours. C'mon son , get the F*** out here with that Bull$h!&+!!!!
