Re: NBA Live 14 Demo Available Now, Post Your Impressions Here
Got the X1 today and I tried the demo. I already knew what I was going to get from the game and just went in to play for fun. There's nothing I can say about the game that hasn't already been said. Just needs a lot work all over.
However, it actually took me back, for a moment, to the old days of playing LIVE. As a veteran fan, I really hope they can get their stuff together.Comment

Re: NBA Live 14 Demo Available Now, Post Your Impressions Here
NBA Live 14 isn't a good game but neither are the 2k games. 2k has had bad things in each of their games but looks so much better now that it is compared to Live 14. But 2k isn't good either. I won't buy another 2k game after the last couple years getting them. I'm trying out EA again but if they don't improve their game then I'm done with basketball games all together.Are you actually serious? Please tell me your joking.
"2k has never played realistically, and it never will."
Firstly, I know probably about 2 million people who disagree with you. 2K is not perfect by any means but you better be damn sure it plays realistic. Especially when you are comparing against NBA Live. Don't try and act like you have a brain and say Live plays more realistic. That would be hypocritical. Secondly, do you have a PS4 and NBA 2K14? It is easily the most realistic basketball game ever made. I don't even need to back this up. All you have to do is play it and you'll understand. Saying "and it never will" makes you look like the biggest live fanboy to ever grace the earth. You are literally saying NBA 2K will never play realistic because your love for Live won't let you believe it. Sad..sad...sad.
"Players are uncontrollable because they are to loose."
Mind explaining what that even means? Sounds like the last NBA 2k you played was 2k3. Tell me exactly how they are uncontrollable? The control list in 2k14 is the deepest in any basketball game ever made. If I want a player to do a between the legs, spin move to a step back jumper, I CAN PERFORM THAT EXACT MOVE!
What does "to loose" Even mean? Firstly, you are forgetting an o, but that's beside the point as it seems basic knowledge escapes you. Having the players feel loose and uncontrollable are pretty much two opposites in video games. If a player is loose it means they are free to perform any action at any time which is the opposite of uncontrollable. If you had actually played 2k14 you would know they have almost nailed this aspect perfectly. Much Better than any NBA video game to date, by about 1000%.
"Players sliding around the court, getting sucked into animations"
I take back what I said earlier about you playing NBA 2K3. I now realize your last game was NBA 2K9. I will be the first person to say that game was a slippery can animation disaster. Sure it was fun, but it wasn't realistic.
IF YOU PLAY NBA 2K14 FOR PS4 YOU ABSOLUTELY CANNOT TELL ME THAT PLAYERS ARE SLIDING AROUND THE COURT!!!!!! You just can't.
"Players sliding around the court"That is an absurd comment. Even more absurd when we are mentioning NBA Live in the conversation. Heck, I'd even say 2k9 has better foot planting than NBA Live 14. I played the demo for 2 hours tonight and didn't see one movement that resembled human physical structure and anatomy. You actually want to bring up foot planting and compare Live to 2k. You Sir, you have gone full ******.
"I could go on and on"
Oh please do, it gives me an opportunity to practice my writing skills and have fun at the same time! It's a win win situation. At least for me that is.

Re: NBA Live 14 Demo Available Now, Post Your Impressions Here
I couldn't even finish a quarter, couldn't do it. Is it just me or is the ESPN camera way too far away? It feels like I'm controlling the action from the cheap seats, I can't play like that. They need to let you change the camera in the demo, it does no favors to the game at all. Except for the dribbling the animations and shooting are not smooth. In 2K you can feel the shooting motion, you can't in this game, it jumps right into the release. Wow, I don't know...one thing I do like is the instant replay button which is very cool. I would give the gameplay from the demo like 3/10, very sad.Comment

Re: NBA Live 14 Demo Available Now, Post Your Impressions Here
There may be more to this than once thought. Chris Sanner brought this issue up in a Press Row hang out podcast yesterday. Ian Cummings also chipped in with some info. Encourage yall to check it out on Pasta's YouTube channel.
Also interesting to read what Obrien said about the last successful (review score wise) release the series had.
From an interview with Digital Trends Adam Rosenberg:
Series veteran Sean O’Brien is back as executive producer, and he knows very well the legacy that he and his team are butting up against. “When I worked on NBA Live 10, I feel like we made a pretty good game but our technology was ****,” he tells Digital Trends. “So we were in a position where we were trying to re-write stuff and then stuff happened [that led to the subsequent game's cancellation], but right now I feel really good knowing how much we’ve accomplished in the last 2-3 months.”Last edited by kingeo19; 11-23-2013, 02:56 PM.Comment
