What I mean is I know it's not going to be as good as 2k15. I want NBA live to be the best it can be but we need to realistic expectations at this point of what nba live can deliver after last years game. As long as it's a solid competitive basketball this year I will be happy. Hopefully EA can keep building off this and some time down the road we can have an actual debate of what game is truly better.

I'm glad to see Franchise get brought up. I haven't heard anything about it, and it is the only mode I play. Is there even one?

I think he means rookie scouting as in scouting reports from your scout Skill training can be like Madden in that you have practice that earns you XP and skills can then be upgraded per player. You can also earn xp based on game performance

I personally would like to see draft immersion like madden like draft stories on key players you could have J rose read them or something...but if you do this it has to be random draft classes or people will make draft guides

gameplay looks good from what I've seen you just need to build substance with Association mode don't focus on bringing it online just yet build a solid mode first please

I am not one to purchase two different games. I want the overall best product out there. Right now that's 2K. I think Live will trump 2K in the sound and arena department, shoe game and online. Maybe even control. I'd still give 2K the edge graphically, but I understand how others would give that to Live this year. It's really close and comes down to preferance. Features, game modes and gameplay will continue to be 2Ks wheelhouse.

The problem with words like 'yawn', 'vieled', 'dead in the water' and so on, is you are once again looking like a biased bunch of immature kids writing this site.


It's clear the connections with 2K and their staff go back quite a bit, but for you to honestly welcome EA devs to this board and expect them to take you seriously is laughable.


Spend a few minutes browsing the bball headlines for all of your recent stories and the tone is very obvious. You may certainly criticise 2K in articles, but never so damning in article headlines like you do EA.


Again, if I was an NBA Live dev, seeing writers for a site even have the nerve to 'yawn' and pronounce my game 'dead in the water', I wouldn't give them a second of my time in a future interview or insight through forum posts.


OS used to seen as a professional website with unbiased opinions, conveyed in a mature, sensible manner. But now we just get trolling from the writers, plain and visible bias and quite frankly, judging from what was written about Live 14, not a lot of videogame knowledge.

Preach brother preach.

This place has changed. Users are the biggest change in the last few years.

You forgot "dumpster fire"

I think what made it such a good trailer (nice editing and music, but that's not the thing) was the simple fact that the graphics are A LOT better than the previous year's. If they released Live 2005 in 2007, and then Live 2009 in 2008 (like they did), the first Live 09 trailer would have looked AMAZING! - For the same reason.

I'm still not sure about some animations/transitions...it remains to be seen.
