NBA Live 14 Currently on Sale For $39.99

Re: NBA Live 14 Currently on Sale For $39.99

Anyway, I've said my peace, and made many posts in the forums about my impressions

I think it's easily worth $39.99, and I'd pay the full retail on it. Doesn't mean that anyone else should/would, but I love the experience I'm getting.

Re: NBA Live 14 Currently on Sale For $39.99

ive only had the game for a few days but im finding it to play more realistic than any bball game ive played in the last 5-6 years. it has its issues but the things it does well outweigh the things it doesnt for me. the late game ai issue hasnt happened to me and as long as its not something that occurs often i can overlook it for now. im not saying it should be ignored but its not gamebreaking either. i also dont have a problem with how the players move for the most part. some animations are pretty stiff but its a lot better than most people give it credit for.

Thats fine for YOU but you should start looking at the bigger picture if you want this game to survive. It's 40 dollars now, and thats not just out of generosity.

You can continue to overlook the stuff that needs fixing and keep telling EA that. That's exactly why they are where they are now.

The best BBALL game you've ever played after 2 days? I mean it's you're opinion so there's not much I can say but that seems a little premature...lol

Also, playing 47 minutes of a good tight game only to have the CPU give up in last minute is an awful experience...whether we call it "game breaking" not it's just horrendous...hopefully it doesn't happen to you but by no means is if a slight glitch..

lol i didnt mean that it shouldnt be fixed asap by any means. and ive been playing it a decent amount here and there since it released with my friend who bought it. i personally have only owned it for a few days. but just from the videos ive seen of other people playing and my own personal experience when playing it just feels more natural when comparing it to the real nba. but yea im glad i havent run into that end of game issue yet. hopefully theyll have it fixed before i ever see it . the game definitely has its issues dont get me wrong but the bad things i see are rare so far and its gotten better since the first time i played.

Yeah, the late game AI issues happen often. I don't know how it's possible to own this game for longer than two weeks and not see it. I've seen it at least three times in the past four days.

Re: NBA Live 14 Currently on Sale For $39.99

See King B, that's what I'd think to. I know that it's an issue, but I've yet to see it thankfully.

Its definitely there and even if you haven't seen it, its something that has been there since the last iteration

Re: NBA Live 14 Currently on Sale For $39.99

I've got a feeling that the late game AI logic is pretty prevelant... it's just a matter of whether or not the scenario plays out... i.e., the CPU has the ball at the end of the game and is trailing.

One thing that I can produce on queue is to trap the CPU ballhandler near the sideline which results in a 24 sec violaton. Another is to cut the CPU off on a drive in the lane, then bring the double team - 3 sec violation.

I'm not blind, the game has warts in fact at times it can be downright ugly... but at it's foundation it does a lot of things right.

Re: NBA Live 14 Currently on Sale For $39.99

See, it's funny that you mention the baseline traps, because I was trapping Lamarcus Aldridge on the baseline, using the baseline as my 3rd defender like you're taught to do, and he continually threw it either out to the wing, or would attempt to throw it cross court to the corner. I remembered you mentioning that when it happened, so I specifically paid attention to it.

The double team in the lane, I've saw 4-5 times, but normally they'll get the pass off well before it really engages in a double team.

I may have a few videos on facebook of LA throwing the ball out of those traps, I don't know if i grabbed any or not.

.

Yeah, the only people I've heard of not seeing this issue whatsoever is some of the guys on here...I know the few of my friends who have this game have all seen it...some fortunate souls on here...

You better look at who deleted your post before you start calling me out. I'm not the one who deleted your specific post.

The game was reviewed poorly based on the initial release. The game that we enjoy today is not the same as the one that was initially released. If you think it sucks, point blank period, that's fine. If you think it's a 3.5 out of 10, no worries, you have an opinion.

Looking at your comment that was deleted, it looks like you need to elaborate instead of coming in and trashing a game without a justification.

If you want to call me out, feel free to PM me. You've voiced your displeasure with the game, and have a basis for your judgement, so now others can take your reasoning's to heart if they so wish.

How do I PM you?

Opinions are just that, but I would love for people to refute the reviews they keep ignoring as if they were a bunch of false statements. We've had video evidence from people that are playing this game over and again and its there.

Matter of fact stuff like Late game AI, lack of fastbreaks were complained about in the past by guys like 24th, Pared, Court_Vision and so on and its still not fixed. Live 10 had great online, but now guys are getting a ton of lag. This inside cheese was definitely curbed by contact that no longer exists in this game, and by saying that some things in this game is worse. It really has nothing to do with the way we look at the game, its not good.

The movement needs alot of work man. Players look awful when in motion, stiff and some of those animations are just godawful for a game that's been in development this long. In short there is no excuse for some of this stuff.

Thing is they've been put to the fire without words, because this is the worst selling game they've ever made by far and this is the reason why it probably won't be 59.99 ever again.

Honestly it wasn't worth that on release and it's not now. Those patches didn't make the game magic like I said, its not hard improving over hot garbage.

I hear ya man! I think this game is pretty bad (I have full retail version with the updates! -- as I may have mentioned before, my son wanted it so we got it at $44.99). I do believe that many of the glowing, positive reviews we have seen here are not without bias or an ulterior motive, which is a bit disappointing, but I saw that previously when NBA Live was supposed to come out last year.

Um footplanting is really well done compared to other games. And though i agree a lot of animations are wrong their mores wrong in their triggering aspect meaning when and how fast they come into play. they need ONE MORE animation for EVERY animation transition so it seems
