NBA Live 14 Roster Updates Not Living up to Promises

[Walt Frazier]

How do you NOT have a trade deadline update?!?!

People may say I am overly critical, but someone needs to hammer these guys for their absolute apathy. I saw a poster in another thread call the EA team "lazy" and a moderator said "don't use that language". Well, what other adjectives are there?


I will go with "apathetic". Maybe "disinterested". Maybe "incapable".


I hadn't booted this game up for a week, but I put it on just now to play a Pacers v Miami game and there is DANNY GRANGER on the Pacers. Come on, just come on. Wake up and work for f's sake. It's 2014 and you promised "hourly updates" and yet you don't even have a trade deadline update two days later. Not a single trade. I have persevered but this thing is being sold. I've grown tired of 2K every year and I'd like an alternative, but this has been the most apathetic, half hearted 'effort' I have ever seen in a modern game. If this was a small team of 8 / independent developer I'd be okay with it, but this is a full priced EA game and you can't even update the trade deadline day which all basketball fans wait on. Absolutely hopeless.

2ks rosters on next gen arent much better. You can't even save them locally. Injured guys still starters etc

It's better than nothing though....even if they don't update as fast as I would like, I have the option of making those moves myself...and quite honestly they've improved a lot as far as frequency and accuracy...

Not about 2k though...Live promised hourly updates...I'd settle for daily....**** maybe even weekly

This is why having the ability to save rosters come in handy!! Why do we need them to do all of this for us?

[WTF]

Re: NBA Live 14 Roster Updates Not Living up to Promises

I literally won't play the game until the Bucks are updated. May be petty, but man, I can't look at a Glenn Robinson Antetokounmpo and a Coolio looking Nate Wolters. Just isn't right.

I played a part of a game this weekend, made me realize why I love the game, but then started playing with the Bucks and made me realize why I'm so disgruntled with it at the same time.

Get this crap right.

This is what they wrote me today regarding the rosters and the Giannis issue.

Honestly, that seems like their generic response that they've told to every issue people have from this game.

[WTF]

Re: NBA Live 14 Roster Updates Not Living up to Promises

Then again, I mentioned it a month ago, and they were "working on it" at that time too. I want them in there, so I can play again. I start a game, see Giannis sitting on the bench and turn it off. I love playing with Knight in the game, and Ilyasova/Sanders too... but when Big Dog is glaring at me from the bench, it kills it.

Honestly, at this point I am CONVINCED that the majority of the EA team working on this game really have no idea / no interest in basketball. I.e. they are just computer people and sales people. It's like "hey, thanks for letting us know about this thing called A TRADE DEADLINE. Wow, we will get onto it soon. And what's that, a player called Danny Stranger was traded by a contending team for a guy called Eve Turnip, wow we can't wait to get this update out there for you guys! Keep letting us know guys!"


I mean, WTF. Even the ultimate sales guy, Ronnie 2K, gets a trade deadline out immediately.

Re: NBA Live 14 Roster Updates Not Living up to Promises

Haha that's my next rising star, Eve Turnip. But seriously, you guys are right, that's a generic response and how long does it take to update something like that.

It never fails, a fan doing all he can to make this pathetic game positive throws 2k under the bus. I can tell you that 2k rosters are much better than anything EA has to offer, that Granger trade and others were updated the very next day. Stay on topic, the continue lies and false advertising from the folks at EA has absolutely nothing to do with 2k.

Re: NBA Live 14 Roster Updates Not Living up to Promises

Still no trade deadline rosters.

BTW for anyone wanting to sell this, the trade in value is basically nothing. I got offered $12.


Very annoyed. If I'd known the "big patch" was going to be a slight graphic tweak and the hourly updates would be about one half hearted effort every 3 or so weeks I would have sold this months ago.

I just need Live 14 to drop in value/price some more then I'll pick it up at the Dollar Tree/Store..

What's disappointing is the Live Season challenges have the updated rosters but the actual game roster is not updated.
