    Just got Live 14 and I'm pleasantly suprised!

    Hello all I've been a longtime follower at OS but never post. I enjoy reading and gathering info from all of you great sim heads out there. I recently got the xbox one Madden bundle which by the way with a few tweaks plays fantastic! I picked up Live for a few bucks and tweaked it a bit through the coaching sliders. This game plays great... Now hold up didn't say it always animated right but I have found in my brief time with the game to it mimics real basketball well with movement and players running plays. I've played it non stop for 3 days, I love it. I've even found the baseline cameras useable even though ea cam is where it's at. In a nutshell I appreciate games for fun and sports simulation. I've tried to be optimistic about games and look at what they do good. All in all it's a win win for me as I will be getting 2k on release but unless it blows me away with newness I just might trade it in towards live 15. I'm a basketball enthusiast so I may keep both. Either way I'm excited for fall.

      Nice. I've been enjoying it, too. It's a lot of fun.

      I got an Xbox One last month, and I had downloaded pretty much every demo I could find, including the NBA Live 14 one...and I got pretty hooked on it, and played it about as much any game that I actually bought. I ended up getting the full game a week ago for $10 and have been having a lot of fun with it.

      I'm generally more of an arcade sports kinda guy (NBA Jam/Hangtime/Showtime/Street), but somehow, that NBA Live 14 demo just had me hooked, and I don't know why. I'm really looking forward to seeing how both NBA games next month turn out, and I might even get both. Can't wait to see what they have in store.

          14 has some good moments and I thought it set a good foundation. Just a bit too herky jerky for me to recommend. But still fun.

            I always loved live and their servers and ranking system ...soundtracks atmosphere and player updates ...havent touched live since 10 so I reallly really hope live 15 is playable ..I only got to see that harden size up and drive and it looked amazingly real ..the graphics need work but it looked to smooth to sleep on ..I hope it has a play calling system and I will get 2k on release day but I will get live 15 too just for the hell of it

              I really wished they fixed the play system. Can never make it past the first quarter because I can't run plays.

              Something does feel crisp but still plagued with issues.

              Enjoy I'm just ready for new release.

                    Glad you like it, it's a really fun game with flaws. But key word here is fun.

                      Live definitely does many things well. I think this year will be a huge improvement and not only please the hardcore Live fans but it will hopefully get the attention of casual fans as well. I still not convinced the animations are on par with this generations standard, but I will give the devs credit because it still looks improved. It's hard to say for sure until we see it in action. I will also give the team a ton of credit for still supporting 14 even though their next release is coming soon. I'm not a shoo-in to buy it, but I'm going to trust the OS members reviews above anywhere else and if it's good I'll happily buy 15.
