Did he ever comment on the decision to not include roster management?

To tell the truth all I'm worried about is their progression for Live 15. Hopefully their budget for Live 15 helps them upgrade this game next year into a true next gen experience, so it can bring excitement back to video game basketball with options. They cannot afford any more missteps. Sean O' Brien you left Canada to move all away down to Orlando,FL to see this franchise go through chaos again?

I thought we were told this game was built from the ground up?

I didn't hear him mention anything about roster management or player editing, nor did he mention more consistent roster updates, were we expecting too much from this title update? :-(

Same here. After the troubles with 2K next gen this year we would hope Live could be serious competition, but their track record hasn't been good for years either. To me there's no shame in copying what 2K has done well and adding your own spin to it.

Yeah, it's all kind've tied together too...

We're at the halfway point in the season and Granger is still starting for the Pacers, (HOPEFULLY Gallanari isn't still starting for Denver, hadn't checked)

While it's fairly easy to adjust lineups before the game manually, the A.I doesn't take into consideration that you've adjusted the lineup and won't sub them back in after subbing them out...

Just very odd not to have roster management in a game in '14.....I'm almost positive they'll include it in next years game though

They were not honest about what engine they were using. Clearly they used things from past Lives like animations, sounds, and commentary. They mainly used from Elite 11 and Live 13. I got a chance to play the full copy of Elite 11 and I have no doubt that animations, sound(rim), and commentary(Breen, Van Gundy) were taken from that game. If they cannot maximize that engine for Live 15 to reach it's full potential then they need to find another engine.

If so then what is supposed to be the Ignite Engine? I'd like to know from the devs. Ignite was shown and said to be the new engine for EA Sport games but then in the interview it's said that they continued from Live 13, something isn't right.

i just bought this game. people keep forgetting Rome was not built in a day. it gonna take time to get the game where consumers feel that it can compare to the 2k series. but any true nba fan will buy both just because you can never get enough basketball experience.

Its hard to really know for sure what developers mean when the say things like "brand new engine" or "built from the ground up". 2k said that 2k14 for next gen was a new engine and completely different game from current gen. And while the games are definitely two different titles the next gen game is still very familar and the "new engine" feels similar to the old one just modified and optimized a bit. Same thing for all of EAs next gen titles. They all used the "brand new ignite engine" and while the games are improvements over the current gen versions I wouldn't say that the engine feels brand new, more like an update to the old engine.

And there lies the question. If the "new engine" is an updated and modified version of the "old engine" does that make it brand new? Or should the engine be advertised as something like "old engine 2.0" (similar to unreal engine or cryteck engines)

I don't think anyone has forgot that Rome wasn't built in a day and that excuse would pass if this was Live first attempt. I think they have a solid foundation pending they listen to the community and implement the proper fixes. The only reason they are doing this is because it's in such a bad state they have no choice. If live ever gets back to being the best title then they will go the way of 2k and madden and go back to catering to the majority and back to subpar products and just making money. Live does some things well but it was the same in live 10, there is no excuse for the game to be in state it's in and they have plenty of time to make a decent game. I just don't understand EA gameplan

Can I get a big fat "I told you so?"

Re: NBA Live 14 Interview Reveals Some NBA Live 15 Info, Title Update #2 Available 2/

Lol it should have taken someone about 5 mins of playing any of the EA Sports release titles to realize that nothing about any engine was "New". Same **** in a new shiny package.

Can I get a reference to that claim? I also feel like they've said that but I can never find any evidence of it
