Re: NBA Live 14 Review (PS4/XB1)

That graphic was misleading then. I thought it was 100% operation sports. Pays to read fine print I guess. I wonder what that games rader dude thinks now? Does he still like the game as much as he did a few weeks ago?

EDIT: I found his review. Review makes no sense, he talked about it's problems, but it didn't seem like a 2 out of 5 review. Either way, someone explain to me how a "day1 purchase = a 2 out of 5"

Re: NBA Live 14 Review (PS4/XB1)

So wait. When he had the podcast where he was playing the game and he was with the Live Devs, he said none of this. And he sounded very pleased with what he was playing.

The game couldn't have changed since then and now.

This is why I'm sick and tired of people just sheepishly playing Yes men and smiling in these guys faces just like the Bleacher Report reviewer.

If the game looks and plays like trash, TELL THEM. No one was allowed to see the game except for a select few and those who did were just happy for the ride.

You actually do them and the community a disservice by not saying anything or acting like it's all good.

Then when the game drops, you give it a low score?

What part of the game is that?

Yep. I fell for the podcast too. I should have put up the red flag when i was "ONLY AUDIO". The enitire 90 minutes was nothing but compliments to the game. Nothing negative. Now he reviews it for real and gives it a 2 out of 5. Arrgh. It's a learning experience. But I feel completely cheated out of 60 bucks.

Re: NBA Live 14 Review (PS4/XB1)

did you listen to the same podcast as me? throughout the whole thing he said there are a ton of rough edges but theres something there. lets also remember that that was a single time playing the game and the review was based on more time playing the game.

You said "lots of rough edges?" That's not the podcast I heard. He praised for the most part.

I disagree. The podcast was very vague and he asked questions that the community had for the developers. It was not an impressions article or podcast. The podcast was meant to promote the game.

There's nothing wrong with that. If someone buys the game, then its on them, cause the writing was all the wall.

There are numerous games, where companies build better preview builds than the actual builds just to get a good write up. at least they showed what they really had. Not to mention, the devs know how to hide their weakness. I mean, everyone seen how OG plays, when it plays, it mimic sim cause he knows how to hide the more obvious weaknesses

Yeah I wasted my time and listened to the entire thing. I even wrote a summary here for those that didn't want to sit through it.

And when he came on here I asked him about the only negative point he brought up which was animations. And he kind of glossed over it saying that it was just a little quirky.

And when I mentioned that the commentary had dead air, he said the commentary was the best part of the game.

Does that sound like a 2.5/5 to you?

I don't care if he played it more to do his review. Most people can tell what a game is about from jumpstreet.

Who said he needed to promote the game?

He was brought in for feedback. Feedback for a game that they weren't giving access to anyone.

And you can't hide animations man. I don't care if he was playing next to Kyrie. Kyrie don't crossover like that and he should say it.

You can hide sliders. You can't hide the basic movement and feel of a game.

Please don't come with the build argument man. Seriously.

he wasn't brought in for feedback..That's why they allowed him to preview the game. It was a barebones interview design to let ea answer questions in a controlled environment.

Now go back to the thread, see the group of people throwing up that red flag, and then note the backlash...

Buzz beat me to it, but yeah. Myself and a few others were saying this stuff all along with the numerous red flags, but getting the "you just hate Live" "play it for yourself" "this is a new dev team" brigade at every single red flag.

Great review. Awful game.

Re: NBA Live 14 Review (PS4/XB1)

Id say, near awful, playable at times, but not very fun. 4.0 would be generous for me

I know competition is great and all, but I feel EA should just drop Live and put more time and money into FIFA, NFL, and NHL. At most release a Live 15 so 2K won't be too lazy for 2K15. 2K14 is great but there are a lot of customization and details missing in the game. Improve Live 15 enough for 2K to make 2K15 amazing, then just leave.

NFL and FIFA are great series from EA. NFL has no competition, and FIFA seems to be improving while PES was a slight back step in some parts for this year. Put more money and time into the other sports games so we have a good game for each Next-Gen sports genre. That would make me a happy camper.
