NBA Live 14 Trailer - First Look (Screen Captures Included)

[SoAwesome]

Damn, I made statement that was wrong. Don't need 5-7 guys to jump on me about it lol. I swear you say one negative thing about 2k in a LIVE forum and people go crazy and start calling me Live fanboy, lol. Chill out guys

I'm excited about what I've seen and read so far, I'm sorry if that offends anyone or is misunderstood as some kind of guarantee that the game will actually deliver. If you think I'm gullible or other people are gullible, what does it matter to you? If EA fails to deliver it will be disappointing but, don't worry, all of us hopeful people will be okay--thanks for your concern though.

Im excited to see what EA has on offer. I was a NBA Live man for many years. The presentation and commentary always stood out for me. As a "non serious" NBA gamer Live has always covered the bases for me and Live 10, IMO, was an excellent game.

2K have done a very good job to get to where they are today but they need competition from someone and hopefully EA releases a good product this year. I'll certainly be picking up Live over 2K this year to see what the game is all about. 2K13 on the PS3 will cover me until the 2k15 as 14 doesnt really seem that much of an upgrade (from what i've seen so far).

It matters because we want to see Live at it's best and reach the potential we've all seen for it. When there's a bunch of gullible yes men lapping up whatever they put on a plate sight unseen as we've seen for this entire console generation, they take it as license to do exactly what they've done this entire generation and bring us to the point we're at right now. It's not rocket science.

There's also a difference between hopeful and gullible. We're all hopeful that Live delivers. At this point, all conversation, whether positive or negative, is pure speculation. If they release a sub-par game and people buy into the hype, then we can call them gullible. Until then, the positive thinking remains hopeful.

Every Live thread devolves into the same arguments/critiques, offered up by the same detractors, with the same biases and motivations. Ironic, considering the competition has shown even less of their product.

There's NOTHING wrong with positive thinking. But if ALL you're talking about are the positives, then they don't see the negatives as important enough! Why is that so hard to understand. It matters because if folks continue to over hype the game for more than what it is, it's a bigger fall for the game when the reality sets in. That does NOT help the series and as fans, I would think that people here would be all for not trying to over-hype it knowing that it's likely going to very much a game that's clearly rebuilding. I've always held this position and I'll continue to do so. The other thing I respond to is when people bring up 2K knowing full well, you're just inviting useless debates. STFU about 2K and focus on LIVE and what IT needs to be a better LIVE! I know THAT'S not hard to understand.

At this point there really aren't any positives or negatives. We haven't seen the game in action, outside of a few screenshots and a trailer that is not representative of what you'll see when you actually play. I understand what you're saying, and some people are blinded by the hype. That's why I'm saying that everything, positive or negative, is 99.9% speculation. Those working on the game have said all the right things up to this point, so there is no reason not to be hopeful. Whether it comes to fruition or not will be determined once it releases.
