It's a bad year for basketball games on next gen, but I've actually been playing Live 14 since 2K has been broken and I don't see anything good there. In my opinion 2K14 on current gen is a better game. If it took them 2-3 years to release Live 14, I think it's nearly impossible for them to make something spectacular for Live 15 in such a small window with divided resources. Over the last 10 years they've had one decent Live game in my opinion and the guy responsible for that works on 2K. So judging by their track record and what's out there now I don't even believe they have the right minds in place to even innovate and implement a basketball game on the level we demand now. Live's heyday was back when games were more arcade and didn't contain all of the real life nuance.

Meanwhile if the other game manages to correct VC and give back offline saves, they have a lock on next year's market. Just giving where they stand now and what needs to be fixed for next year, Live is like the Orlando Magic trying to win the title this year and 2K is like the Heat. Overcome a Wade injury and add another ring.
