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

Also, trying to upload a quick minute video showing the quickness. Seeing some "glitchier" things now though. Don't judge my gameplay, I'm watching the kids, and trying to pay a little attention on the game

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

I have a CPU-CPU game going. Miami vs New York, it was close in the first half because New York was pushing the tempo and finding easy buckets. In the second half the heat took over like usual and went on a run to go up by 10. Man this game flows so much better than at launch. Many plays felt like I was watching a real nba game. Just the way the players made choices just made it seem like they had something between their ears and not like they were just pixels on a screen. Saw some odd things of course but everything else just seemed perfect. I like the tempo, so WTF it will just take some getting used to. It's just not what you're used too since you've been playing it a lot and enjoying it.

Look at Miami's shot chart. Jumpers galore in the first quarter. The points in the paint are still showing high, but due to the speed, and trying to adjust to it, I gave up more drives than I should have.



LBJ went nuts.



Also, guys were HUSTLING to get to their spots, and making quick screens and cuts off of them. I DID like that quite a bit.

Give LBJ a bit of space, and dude was launching though.

Yep. I played tonight's matchup Nuggets (me) vs Thunder and I immediately noticed the CPU pushing the ball and faster pace. And most importantly Westbrook pulling up for jumpers instead of driving to the lane. Durant and Westbrook both killed me from the perimeter. Felt great and flow was nice.

[WTF]

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

Yeah, once the kiddos get ready for bedtime, I'm sure I'll settle in nicely, but it's definitely going to be a challenge to stick quicker guys out there. I saw LBJ and Wade light me up QUICK. Chalmers even had several floaters and jumpers. And a few uncontested J's off of LBJ drive and kicks.

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

Man I hate the Clippers so much...here are some of the shots from their 4th quarter comeback

24th, if may make a suggestion:


I am assuming you were playing on ball defense in that video. If so try sliding your defender a half step more toward the baseline as opposed to directly between the ball handler and the basket. Also instead of pushing the stick constantly toward the ball handler when guarding the post try light tapping/feathering it toward the ball handler but angle it towards the side in which he has leverage or where his feet are outside of your defender showing the ability to spin in that direction.


I only suggest this because I saw a few pages back you mentioned you were having difficulty with PIP defense in this game. I think the angle that the game senses contact is slightly off, it seems to be skewed slightly toward the baseline. Keeping this in mind I've found it easier to create contact on defense. It's still not where I think it should be but it definitely helps.

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

The game has definitely had a small update. I'm trying to upload the final few minutes of game play that I just had. I ended up pulling away during the last two minutes. It was insane.

The intentional foul animation has been toned down. Drastically. I saw 3 different animations instead of the full on tackle.

Saw some new layups.

Only had 1 three second call all game, and it was on Beasley and was legit.

Maybe 4 total post spins.

A ton of midrange jumpers.

They shot a lot of fts, as did I. Fouls were there in this game. I'll upload the screen shots shortly showing the PiP. I think they were at 48 pip out of 102 total.

Awesome overall game.

Got some new slides on the main screen, but I didn't really notice anything different game play wise (assuming XB1 got the game update)

My games did freeze twice while uploading rosters at around 29%, so that's new...lol

Did see a lot more blocks from the CPU than usual, as a matter of fact I am in a new game now and they already have 3..

[WTF]

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

Apparently the X1 is "behind" here. ThaKid posted that the rosters are still at 11020, whereas the PS4 is at 11107 now.

Someone mentioned it on their facebook page as well.

Lee is still on the Celtics, Deng still on the Bulls, so the actual rosters haven't been updated yet. Just some gameplay tweaks.

[WTF]

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

Also, get ready for a steady supply of this stuff:

Beasley misses the wide open layup

what I wouldn't give to see this every once in a while..

also, since they added step back usage for the CPU, hopefully they decreased the penalty for taking what the game considers "off balance" with shots like that...

[WTF]

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

Oh they definitely hit the step backs. I was all over Wade on that one. He still nailed it. I have another Beasley missed layup the very next possession. Lol.

I blocked a Wade fade away to seal the game for me.

Also, after this small update, the court no longer calls a time out and hurls the ball at their teammates face. They call a time out and lay the ball down.

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

Nice step back from Wade. Haven't seen that before 14.

They bed to up fouls and get the CPU to call timeout and I'll be ok.

[WTF]

There's the final minute or two of the Heat game. You'll see the timeout issue I talk about above, and the new wrap up foul, still tackle sometimes.

Here are the stats from the game:









Boo, they were 56 pts inthe paint. Regardless, still a definite improvement, as most of those came off of drives.

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

I see the fouls shots are moving in the right direction.

Nice PIP too, 56 out 100+ is good to see. Can't wait to get home from work tomorrow to fire it up.
