    Re: NBA Live 14 Has Arrived, Post Your Impressions Here

    Just played the "Flash Back" Live Season game a couple of times...

    on two separate occasions I had David West and George Hill (down 1 and down 3 respectively) dribble the clock out essentially handing me the game and killing the experience of what was previously a good game...

      That sucks. Are you seeing the lack of end game AI in just the flash back games or regular nba today games too?

      Fortunately I still haven't seen this rear its ugly head.

        NBA Live 14 Has Arrived, Post Your Impressions Here

        I saw it happen once in a game.

        Shot clock winding down and I played tight d on the ball handler behind the three point line.

        He attempted to make a move but once he realized his shot was gonna be contested and he could not get by me, he simply gave up.

        Only time I've seen it.

        Most of the time when I see a pass out of bounds, I let it go because things happen and it bumps up turnovers on both ends.

        It's an excuse, I know. Shouldn't happen. But so far none of this happens enough times to bother me.

          I've had games with great late game Ai and some with brain farts. Waiting for this game to get to the point where updates are happening same day.

          Anyone else notice another update this morning? Wonder what has changed.

            I am going to fire it up to see if I can notice anything.

                  That "dribble loop" AI bug happens to me at least 2 times per game.

                  The AI tends to turn the ball over around 5 to 10 times a game doing stupid stuff like that.

                      Re: NBA Live 14 Has Arrived, Post Your Impressions Here

                      Funny, I never felt the need to bring up "the other game" in my impressions of this game, due to the fact my impressions of this game, are my impressions of this game.

                      Someone, I think 24th Letter pointed out that it's in our interest to see Live 15 come out, and comments like "well I can live with it, it's an issue in *other* basketball games as well" or "no bball title has perfected this so it's forgivable" are just unproductive. Outside of this thread, and I mean everywhere else outside of this thread, this game is a punchline, I've seen it on every single "Worst Games" list, they hid it from us until release after hyping us with that amazing Kyrie-over-DeAndre clip (had chills when I saw it), and sales are abysmal.

                      I get folks are enjoying it and I agree some of the backlash has been overdone especially in media, the game has some strengths and has improved since release.

                      But personally I just feel we have to keep their feet to the fire, harp on what we demand in a game released in 2013, 2014 etc. Harp on what's missing.

                      Because "the other game" is coming out next year period. So unless Live 14 is good enough to hold you over for the next 4-year hiatus, it has to be less "well I can live without sliders/edit player/adequate commentary/animations/body types because no other game is perfect out there" and more "I'm enjoying it for what it is right now but this is nowhere near enough."

                        There's not been any talks that this game isn't coming out next year. Live 15 will be out next year. You guys can quote that all you want. Make it a signature, etc.

                        It's not a good game"for what it is", its a good game period in my eyes.

                        I don't know why I'm not having the issues that others are, but I am glad. I feel an absolute sense of accomplishment when I get the stop for a shot clock violation. I've seen the backdown glitch maybe 5 times total since release. The end of game AI has been really good 99% of the time.

                        The game will come out next year.

                          They can certainly afford to take losses. They just really gotta be ready to be ready for launch and not fix problems as we go. IMO they set a nice foundation for 15. I'm worried they will patch 14 so much that 15 will get neglected. I mean realistically 15 should already be in the works. @wtf

                            Well whether folks are simply not seeing issues, or not perceiving them as issues, or not willing to talk about what they see there are definitely some out there...

                            I know for a fact I am not the only one seeing bad late game logic...playing through 47 minutes of a game to have the last minute come down to the CPU dribbling out the clock when down is super frustrating...it's not some thing I want to have to worry about when booting up a game...

                            EDIT: this post is dedicated to no one, just venting

                              Here's what I'm seeing. This is the last possession of a game I just finished. I got the bucket to put me up 3, the Pelicans call a time out, advanced the ball to half court. They set up a nice play to get the 3 on the wing to go for the tie.

                                Holy cow that sucks. I'm sure you do, but do you have Auto Motion on? That's terrible. It's like the CPU isn't telling them to get into a set, and because of it, it's basically just sitting there waiting.
