How NBA Live Could Dethrone NBA 2K

[Sirs]

Uh oh..talking about 2k will upset people here. Stop it just stop it lol

Yo, let's not forget that the dethroning of Live happened when 2k11 dropped (one of the greatest ever) and NBA Elite didn't ship. I don't see 2K making that awful mistake next gen and Live has a long way to go to deliver a classic. If we're honest, the last time they came close to delivering a classic NBA Live would be 04, if you're being generous. So to think they're hiding this masterpiece of a game, after we saw the NBA Live 13 video isn't a bright assumption. It's actually a ton of wishful thinking. 2K and Live went to battle and they both earned their spots. You cancel Elite, cancel Live 13 and a month out you haven't shown any gameplay, you should expect criticism, skepticism and down right hate. If you drop 2k11-2k14 that has seen the biggest and best years of video game basketball strung together, then you deserve the benefit of the doubt that you won't screw up next gen. It's not about being a fan boy, more than keeping it 100.

Yeah awesome in a non nba game mode...how often does that happen in the regular season...1 a week if that.
Nice feature but that is a small component that's why showing gameplay is essential.

Good point. Even at the start of last gen 2k started on the right foot. 2k6 for 360 was just as good if not better than its current gen version and 2k stuck with that formula and improved year after year. Ea decided to go a different route with live 06 and it was essentially a reboot for the series which in theory sounded great. And then for the next 4 years ea released some of the most unsatisfying basketball games. Live 10 appeared as though live was finally on the right track...and we all know what happened from there. I want live to continue to exist and hopefully this game, at worst, will be a playable and enjoyable basketball game that EA can build on in the future but its hard to have confidence in this game. 2k doesn't need to show off 2k14 for nextgen because at worst it will be the same as current gen with better graphics. Live on the other hand should have been shown off weeks if not months ago. I want this game to be good but my faith is all but lost. Ea needs to show some kind of sign of life soon if not we might be hearing rumblings of a cancellation yet again.

I'm not seeing your point. Players dribble the ball all the time. It is a major part of the game of basketball. Sure, ankles don't get broken every game, but it's a highlight. Would you go see a movie if the trailer made it look mundane? Probably not.
