NBA Live 14 5 on 5 Gameplay Video Coming Soon, New Screenshots & Details This Week

[WTF]

I don't think people even have "faith" really. I just wanted something "different". Next Gen or not, I'm assuming 2k will still "feel" like 2k, and not something new. I'll pick up 2k, just because I know it'll be a good game, but at the same time, I'm clamoring for a breath of fresh air.

BS,what's up man. Been a bit. I don't think I really have any expactations of Live. I just wanted to "see something". I don't care what it is (just not another Kyrie picture). Their marketing team is just... I have no words. I need to dig up my "3 year cycle" thread, so the guys on the NBA Live team (if they read these forums) can see my thoughts on the whole process that we've been through since Live 06 on the 360.

Any and every time EA has held back videos of the BB titles it has always turned out to be a disaster. I think it was Live 08 and they didn't show any videos and if I have my year right guys had SUPER HIGH ARCS in there shots.

Trust me this game is gonna flop IMO. We've seen this dog & pony show before from EA

I've said it before. 2k is winning by default. Live has to convince me that their game will be at least fun. I need to see gameplay to get there. I have played 2k14, and it is very good, but not flawless. What does Live have to compare with it? Twenty seconds of stylized dribbling, so far.

Give me an 8 minute quarter of gameplay. If it sucks now, it's not going to be better at next gen launch.

[Subversion]

Remember two years ago Live's reputation was dwindling. After two years of cancellations, it has none what so ever. Basically, they're releasing a new IP. I don't care that there is no footage of a ball going in a hoop yet, but this should concern everyone that they are not confident in their current product and are most likely working on polishing the video so that it looks better than it actually plays.

Yep I just got off of twitter and EA has gone completely silent. I can tell even Ty Stover is getting frustrated with NBA Live at this point. He actually responded to someone that asked about a trailer by saying "Are you bugging 2K like this?" LMAO how rude was that? "His next comment was have patience, it'll be worth the wait" which at this point after all of the broken promises this statement just sounds like a stalling method. I'm not sure he knows whats going on. Lastly he responded to someone by simply saying 'I am done talking". If he represented my company talking to fans like that I WOULD CAN HIS ***!! It goes to show you that EA really doesn't give a **** about any of us. What is mind boggling to me is that my friend in Orlando, Fl (tester for this game keeps telling me the game is fine and just needs some tweeks. I'm starting to wondering if he is covering up something just to keep his job. When trailers are cancelled/delayed it can't be fine. Not when you have 2 cancellations and 0 releases in a 4 year period. There is just too much at stake to lose momentum. This game has no more momentum....2K's trailer took the last bit.

[Hadlowe]

To be fair, we don't know that any trailers have been cancelled. The info that was up on nba.com was supposedly sourced from someone not affiliated with EA or Live.

The main problem is that 2k has already released current gen and it is pretty good. A lot of the frustrating animation lock is gone. If the 2k next-gen trailer is representative of the final product on next-gen, then Live is really in trouble.

Live could have gotten out in front of this by being engaged with the fans and community. Show us some developer insights. Bouncetek is a neat idea, but it has to be seen in the context of the game to really understand how improved dribbling helps to get buckets.

So, either the witholding of info is calculated, waiting for 2k to show its hand first, or the game just isn't ready for the light of day. The first option is cynical and will backfire in reduced sales. The second option is par for the course.

Still no new NBA Live footage or info, this tells me that the dates that were taken down on nba.com was probably not a mistake, something happened on EA's end and they told them to take the dates down.
