NBA Live 14: It's Time to Leave a Man Behind

[ThaLiveKing]

Before I forget, remember the first NHL game when they turned it around? The gameplay was A LOT better than previous versions, but it still was garbage, but every year they progressed (took stuff I like out the game) but the game got better and better.

I look at it this way for Live, within the next two years MAX they should have something incredible with their game. Gameplay wise and feature wise

They just said on their Facebook page that details on the next update are coming soon, so keep it locked.

Hopefully by the weekend we'll have something to go by. My job is about to get crazy busy, so hopefully it'll drop prior to the 1st weekend in February. After that I'll basically be unable to play extensively for a while.

let me get this straight..

OS, as a community is all about post release support. articles, posts, etc complaining about the lack of post release support. EA is finally doing that here and now we see a write up stating to stop post release support and just focus on next years game.

LOL. what?

I'm kinda indifferent. I've not actually played the game but I've seen a lot of gameplay and it doesn't look that bad but it doesn't look that good either. Looks pretty mediocre to be honest. I really like the ESPN presentation though. Here's hoping they can make a more solid game in the future.

Sure, if you want to take the most simple approach possible. I think there's a significant difference between looking for post release support for things in a game like The Show but saying cut your losses in moving into February trying to FIX a game like say....Space Jam. There's a difference in that and I know you know this.

I'm assuming you just got the general idea that someone was saying something unfavorable about Live and posted this, without reading the article..

That's not what he was saying at all, lol

Gotcha, I don't necessarily agree with him to the fullest, but I understand his point...and I think it's a fair one...

With how buggy NBA2k is, and how inexcusable that is since Take Two now only makes one sports game. (So much for that 2k sports line) EA has a chance here to really put a dent towards NBA2k if they continue to improve, and Live 15 has the polish going forward.

I have some major issues with this article. I find this thought process kind of half hearted. The reason I say this is I but 3-4 games a year and this year NBA wS one of them. So now I have a game I spent 60+ dollars on that has MAJOR issues and with out any type of compensation the writer has a view point of just moving to the next version of the game just so a cycle date can be met. I do understand that we as gamers are used to this habit. But for me I totally disagree. If I sold you a car that only works on Mondays but I advertised it to work everyday. I know so e one would fix the car to a workable state.

I'm sure we all have different views and opinions but EA has got my house hold for sim City, NBA live, and Battlefield 4. I'm a bit sick of buying games that are critically bugged.

Re: NBA Live 14: It's Time to Leave a Man Behind

I will first start by saying that I have yet to play anything Next Gen so don't expect a ton of Fan boy one sided arguments.

I don't think it's time to scrap Live. I think they should work on upgrading Live 14 as they promised and use roster updates to keep things fresh. Live 14 tanked but from what I have heard, read, and seen it seems Live is making small improvements to make the game more enjoyable. If they were to scrap Live 14 do you really think they would make any money on Live 15....sure some fan boys and 2k haters would buy it but EA would stand to make more money with what they have now.

The expectations for Live are low, nobody expects a mind blowing experience most people just want a different experience than 2k offers and with 2k being riddled with game breaking issues this is the perfect opportunity for EA to stay the course with Live and build on what they have now.

They have lowered the cost of the game, they have maintained the promise to continue to upgrade the game, and honestly SOOO many people are complaining about 2k right now that if Live ever finds it's stride the competition will once again ramp back up.

I honestly think if 2k Sports and EA stopped doing yearly releases and focused more on a two to three year window we wouldn't be seeing all these issues.

great post! starting next year i'm going to start buying games every 2 years. tired of roster updates made out to be a new game

Rumor from NLSC it is that the big patch will come out mid Feb around the All Star break. Here is the link to the podcast if you have time to listen.

Is OS pretty much the only forum that actively talks about NBA LIVE 14? Our impressions thread has more posts than entire Live forums combined

Author comes off like he is saying "love my 2K!!!!!!!"

No that's what you want to believe because you don't agree with what he wrote. Nice try though. One game has nothing to do with the other.
