NBA Live 14 Has Arrived, Post Your Impressions Here

Saw a lot more loose balls in the paint, due to contact, today.

It was beautiful seeing online players finally pay for spamming and being sloppy in the paint.

Played against the Heat today and it is definitely nice to see them trap my ball handler on pick and rolls.

It doesn't kill P&R but it makes it much harder to complete. On the flip side, get through the trap and you have a lot of daylight.

Really nice risk/reward for that team being shown through this game.

Play the Nuggets. Friggin Ty Lawson and Gallo ran the drive and kick game to perfection all freaking game long on me. Either Javale or the Manimal would come up to the top of the key to set a screen on Ty's man, Gallo would be on the wing, Ty would draw in his defender as I "showed" help, Gallo would fall to the corner, and a perfect dish nearly every time. I rotated too far in this one, but thankfully he missed.


The Nuggets just handed me my first loss of the season, moving to 5-1 as the Suns. I was down 12 with 3 minutes left, and scored several junk buckets at the end, to get back to a respectable loss. My goal was to hold them under 100 points after I knew I was losing, which I did, 97-91. The Nuggets were averaging a league best 121 PPG. Hitting 49% from 3 PT range. I held them to 18% from 3, but they ended up thumping me anyway

Curious to know what their PIP was? If you were able to hold them to such a low 3PT% I would think that the PIP had to go up? True or false?

[WTF]

Oh it did. They were around 60 PiP out of their 97 total. It was atrocious. Most of it was freaking Ty Lawson or Nate Robinson shooting floaters, etc. They had a TON of fast break points against me too. I wish this game kept track of fast break points.

Yeah, it's too bad they don't included the fast break points. It's a good barometer of how you did in each category. Sounds like you have a pretty good handle defensively. BTW, the video looks great! It looks like a completely different game from the demo.

[WTF]

NOT Top 10 Nominee.



Gallo gets the facial dunk and then barrels over Arthur. Arthur had a rough game.

I'm seeing a TON of this type of physical contact now. I saw (wish I had captured) one of my guys trip over Javale's feet in the paint and fall face first. It was beautiful.

Games not bad... I just notice that there isn't a whole lot of offensive variety. Blake Griffin did the SAME hop step move in the paint and always pumped and EVERY TIME the AI jumped allowing him to easily put down a two-hander. Also has anyone been able to throw a realistic oop? I threw one once but every other time they end up just catching it or it sails out of bounds.
