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

I'm not getting completely killed with low post defense. And it doesn't always result in a block. CPU players are missing shots with good defense.

Most of my pip are from 2nd chance points now. It's still automatic 2 hand slam with offensive rebounds.

Still waiting for patch though.

I could make this game legit with slider and roster's. Just thinking about it pisses me off a little.

NBA Live 14 Has Arrived, Post Your Impressions Here

I can understand your issues with the game, I know it has them. But after seeing your post history why are you still attempting to play it. You've said one good thing about the game and that was in regard to a photo of a player.



I'm not bashing you at all here, but why continue showing your displeasure with a game over and over? If it was me and I've done this with games like COD, I would just stop going in that forum and move on. I didn't feel like wasting my time coming in and stating that same thing.



I think 99% here can agree that the game has issues, but why keep saying the same thing? Again, I'm not bashing you at all, I'm just curious.

Don't want to answer for him, but I don't know if you missed this:

The more I play this game the more i'm drawn into it...

Some things just get to you after a while...and if he's anything like some others here, he wants to like the game....there are just some things that keep you from fully enjoying the experience. Add the fact we have no patch information...it's kind've changes some tones..

Makes sense and I didn't see those. Like I said please understand I wasn't bashing or implying anything. I was just trying to understand.

I think we're all waiting, hoping for a patch or some kind of news about it. Half way though the season and not hearing anything is really a slap in the face to the few consumers that have purchased 14.

mlp, please accept my apologies.

Don't want to continue harping about this issue, but I just don't buy their excuse for not upgrading the visuals for Live 14 on the next gen consoles. Here is a sneak peak of MLB the Show 14 on PS3. These visuals on a current gen system puts Live 14 to shame. I touched on other issues during my impressions, but this one nags me a bit more when I compares Live's visuals to my PS3 games. They need to improve this for Live 15.

This will come off like an excuse but MLB the show is a 1st party title. Better comparison would be Cod, bf4, assassin creed etc but it's still the worse next Gen title to date graphically.

I think the first fifa game on vita looks better than Live.

im not saying that lives visuals shouldnt improve but this isnt a fair comparison for a few reasons. one like donwuan said the show is a first party game where the team has a complete understanding of the system they are working with. live is a third party title on a new system so they have little experience with it.

second there is much less happening in baseball vs basketball so its much easier to focus on visuals. there is nowhere close to as much player interaction so almost everything is 100% animation based which will always *look* better.

third and this ties in with number one but the video you showed was on ps3 where scea has been making the game for years so they have had ample time to tweak the graphics from year to year. they also had a completely solid foundation from year to year to build from as opposed to live building with almost nothing since live 10 and in less than two years.

again im not saying that live doesnt need to get better overall but holding it up against the best looking sports game from year to year is just unfair.

They don't deserve that excuse anymore. Gaming for consumers is getting more costly, so this preparation should have been handled on their part. We now have to pay to play online every year on both consoles now. If Live 15 does not live up to expectations, will there be another excuse for them?

Those excuses have run out for them. That is why promises were made to improve the visuals soon because they were blasted by very popular review sources. Those sources were taken seriously and have effected their profits. Their nine lives have been up since their cancellations of Elite 11 and Live 13. They have no more excuses. By the way if you pay attention to Live 14 you will see that they have taken things from past Live games like animations, sounds, and some commentary. If you own past Live games you will notice that they have taken things from those past games to implement into Live 14. Live 14 is not built from the ground up, so please don't believe that lie from them. If the game was truly built from the grown up, then I would have probably given them an excuse. I own a long library of Live games and I see alot of the same animations, sounds, and same commentary used from Elite 11 because I'm one of the people who got their hands on that game.

im not saying it was built from the ground up. im saying that they havent been working on it and building it up from year to year. live 14 looks similar to live 10 but it definitely does not play or control the same. again i am in no way saying that we shouldnt expect more next year but to compare it to a long-running polished game like the show is not a fair comparison.

I wouldn't say that it's similar to Live 10 after playing it for a while now. I see animations form Live 10, but those same animations were in there since Live 08. They took animations, sound, and commentary from Elite 11. From the bouncing of the ball, the sound of the rim when the ball goes in or misses, some of the conversations from Mike Breen and Jeff Van Gundy, and how the players move around the court. You can say that I'm being a little unfair by using MLB the show, but Live used lots of things from those canceled games to apply to Live 14. It's new to most because those games were not released to be sold. I got a opportunity to play the full copy of Elite 11, and I saw alot of stuff taken from that game. With the way everything played out I can finally say that EA used this game as an experiment and we were all the test subjects.

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

Wow, I still have my copy of NBA LIVE 10, havent played it in a while but taking from something that works in one title and putting it in another should'nt be a bad thing.. What I did notice (non gameplay related) is that the fans are not following the action up and down the court.. if you notice they just seem to be starring at the center of the court.. they should put fan ball tracking make it a little more realistic.. just to name one.

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

I haven't played NBA Live since '06, and I saw this game and decided to try it. I am really enjoying it. I think the CPU plays realistically, and the controls and graphics are good. It keeps me immersed in the game as a whole. I read a little of this thread and see that people prefer the 2K series for NBA. Why is that? I haven't played that; I'm an EA guy through and through.

1. Because it looks better.
2. It has been the better product over an extended period
3. Its the "familiar" option after playing without another basketball option for the last few years.
4. Faithful supporters who don't care to try another option for any reason
5. Bad initial reviews of LIVE at launch

2k is prettier and plays a bit more fluidly but im happier with Live this year. 2k has been the same game for far too long IMO and the online has been atrociously bad for years. EA at least has a stable online. Live has deep gameplay that casual guys fail to notice

OR because people whether they are "hardcore" or "casual" just enjoy playing it...just like people like playing this game...
