Trying so hard to like this game...pace and speed are fantastic, but I can only see every player on the court standing still the entire shot clock so many times.

And the CPU dribbling the clock out down by 1 in the fourth.

The flight of the ball physics are so off on PS4 it is laughable.

I don't thing the graphics are that bad, but the way things play out is bad.

Yea I have it on. Honestly I don't know how you guys do it. I can't even make it through one game in 3 minute quarters.

Still hoping 15 brings something to the table.

I got over the graphics a while ago....while it kills some of the immersion...(like players being indistinguishable in certain cameras, and half the players having the same jumper) I am willing to look past that....

Unfortunately I can't look past or pretend I don't see some of the core gameplay issues....

Before they nerfed passing, there were stretches where I could have some fun....as long as the CPU wasn't running the clock down...but it just wears on you after a while..

Yea, not trying to hate or cause problems, because I love the NBA Live series and want it to do well so badly but...

I just picked up NBA Live 10 again, and in my opinion, the gameplay is far superior.

Despite what almost everyone says, the graphics on Gen-4 blow it out of the water. Like not even close. If you think Live 14 looks like 'a ps2 game', you are so incredibly wrong.

Such a bummer to play Live 10 and to see such fluid animations and ball physics. The sound is so much better in Live 10, along with almost everything else. Such a shame to see the final product in Live 14. It truly is one of the worst basketball games, from a gameplay stand point, I have played in a long time. March Madness 09 and College Hoops 2k8 play better, more smooth, with physics that actually make sense. For a Gen-4 product to not exceed a game on the last console, and one that is 6 years old at that, is unacceptable.

But alas...here I am going to fire it up again. Something has to be said for the fact I keep coming back I guess.

The progression system in Rising Star is awesome.

Has anyone noticed any different dunks? I did a 360 dunk with lebron which wasn't bonus there before. Seen someone on Twitter say that there's a dunk modifier.

Today I did a pump fake under the rim with Kevin Durant and he did Hakeem Olajuwon's one-handed "show ball" fake. That was the first time I have seen that animation. It seems odd that Durant has access to it, though.

That's been in for a while. I did it with PG several times.

This is the same thing that is happening to me. I just keep coming back to play more.

But for all those that keep saying core gameplay I gotta ask people is it gameplay or animations? For once I feel I have to box out and watch positioning on rebounds. Especially because lack of animation makes an offensive rebound automatic 2. For the most part if you play like the real world counterpart you'll get good results. Players take charges, (I don't think I've seen that in 2k in awhile, but doesn't get called when the CPU charges me) spacing of court is perfect and really opens up ball movement when passing is working.

It feels like they tried to make less animation to showcase the bounce tek more and fact is you need some animation to tie loose ends. In the same respect 2k fans ask for less animations in their game which can sometimes bog that game. Where's a happy medium?

I can't help but feel in comparison they have a hemi in a smart car. When they get updated animation and graphics I really think they have something that will be competitive.

Re: NBA Live 14 Title Update #2 Available Now, Post Your Impressions Here (PS4, Xbox

Yea I think it is just lack on animations. I don't know what it is but everytime I fire this game up it looks and feel better and better.

I am actually really excited for Live 15 to see what they do.

My main problem is that I have played 2k Basketball for WAY too long. So even if it is a 'better' game, its like I know everything that is going to happen. On the court or off the court. With Live, its all new so I actually feel challenged.

A bit of both.

The lack of defensive animations to counter the offensive animations result in shoddy defense. It's funny you mention the auto 2 on rebounds because it's very prevalent in this game with the lack of contact down low and every big having access to the two hand power dunk..

If we as gamers could get a happy middle between 2ks over animation and lives under animation we could be on to something.

I really think this year everything will get fine tuned for a solid game and I gotta be honest... I am a 2k guy, but when I didn't renew my ps plus for a month and couldn't access my GM mode I was deep in to, it will be hard for me to go back. So here's to hoping EA brings it this year

I have noticed some awkward gameplay mechanics when connected to a bad or slow network connection! Try comparing the differences and maybe you'll see what I mean. Sometimes I load the game with my network turned off in the PS4 menus and I get a more responsive game. Either that or I make sure nothing else is using my internet connection (no pc, cell phone, only ps4) and my system isn't streaming, downloading or uploading. Also I have hundreds of videos of the game in HD on my youtube channel incase someone wants to use that as reference to compare to how it looks when they play.

Re: NBA Live 14 Title Update #2 Available Now, Post Your Impressions Here (PS4, Xbox

I didn't know where to put this question, so I'll just put it here and hopefully someone can help out. I didn't buy Live 14 (I was strictly 2k14 this year). I finally have some free time to dip into this game over the summer. I have the demo (i'm online, so I got updated rosters etc).

I mainly want to just get use/have some familiarity with the controls of Live incase next season I get it along with 2k (hopefully this is the case, I want all basketball games to be good). I don't want to head in Live 15 cold turkey not knowing what I'm doing.

Now, how different is the gameplay from the demo to retail ?? Is it worlds apart ? A bit different ? Or if I just want to learn the controls to prep for Live 15, is the demo enough ?

Re: NBA Live 14 Title Update #2 Available Now, Post Your Impressions Here (PS4, Xbox

It's different from the retail, I've gone back and forth recently. It's not worlds apart, but it is quite a bit different. If you want to just get accustomed to the controls, you should be fine with the demo. The retail has the "practice" facility, where you can use whatever player you want to shoot around in the half court setting, and work on your controls. You should be able to find it for cheap now. If you're on the XOne, it was $11 or $13 on Amazon new the other day.

Re: NBA Live 14 Title Update #2 Available Now, Post Your Impressions Here (PS4, Xbox

OK man...thanks for the info. Live is brand new here in Canada at $ 30 now but that still way too much at this point in the game. I'll just run the demo for now.
