We NEED to have both EA and 2k making games, so that EACH of them keeps pushing the other to make a better product.

Or, alternatively, they could sink their time, money, and resources into developing for just one generation of consoles. How many chances do you want to give EA? They haven't got it right at all this generation, but you think they'll miraculously get it right all of a sudden? Nah man. They have very little to gain by putting out a current-gen game right now considering the reputation NBA Live has received on this console.

And forget porting it to next gen. EA seriously needs to just start over once and build from there rather than starting over repeatedly. This is their best opportunity to do that.

If EA gives me respectable gameplay & Online Team Play like the NHL & Fifa series i will purchase this. I am looking forward to this game, i have been unhappy with 2k ever since they got rid of Crew.

So they cant get it right on the Current System, so why would they attempt on New System. The New System I would think would be More complex and more expensive to make the game on. I feel they could repair their Broken relationship(somewhat) with their fan base by making a good Current Gen Product. Now basically they are Saying," Hey we have sucked the last 3 years, go out and spend $$$ on New system, because if you DONT you cant play our product." Not a sound marketing strategy.

I understand where you are coming from as well, I just Dont think LIVE will rebound by ONLY being NEXT Gen available. I could be wrong though.

I don't think Live is going for a purely realistic look. They are going for a sort of realistic/sort of Pixar hybrid look. I think they were trying to do that in the 2013 version that didn't make it to market, too. It kind of reminds me of Bioshock Infinite, where its not 100% realistic but has some cartoon influence. In the Live 14 sceenshots the lighting, the exaggerated facial features, and the arms/legs look a bit like How to Train Your Dragon and stuff like that. Whether you like this or not is up to you. Personally I prefer attempting realism in my sports games.

They realize they have lost the "war" on current gen basketball. They probably didn't see the need to develop two seperate engines at the same time when they couldn't get this gen right. Might as well start on the new systems which will be the main platform for at least 7 years or so. They also are using that new engine that most likely is too advanced for current gen.
