Of course they have, but when you've been as terrible as NBA Live/Elite recently you can't make announcements that are basically a rip off of the juggernaut because everyone knows yours wont measure up yet. Play up the nuances that makes your product worth buying over there's. EA/NBA Live is in no position to say "hey we have what 2k does, buy ours instead", when you haven't had anything on shelves since Lebron was in Cleveland.

EA may surprise us this year after all...

But one game audition, draft, start as bum and work your way up... yep, par for the course. How about playing the NCAA tourney right before the combine workouts and meetings (similar tourney to high school FB in NCAA)? Maybe offering 2 or 3 different paths you can take from jump (start as bum, come in as the starter or come in as the next phenom)? You can't dethrone the champ throwing the same punches he does, AFTER he throws them at you smh.

Lets not start about what 2k has stolen from live.. every year they take something from live even when live was out

I think 2k has more EA than you think. Looking at the new 2k videos even more so fundamentally this year than just game modes and right stick. What I saw different was quicker transitions while moving, passing and shooting. However the animations look off and are a little twitchier in between. This is a good thing though because while it may not look better it controls better; something I think seperates Live and all EA sports games.

I'm excited for next gen because one of them will be able to combine the two. From what I've seen from live 14 I think they are on that path.

Oh Lord, can we all just shut up about who steals what? Every game borrows from each other. EA steals as much as it gets stolen from. So why even post it? It doesn't make one better or worse than the other.

I'm excited to check this mode out. I have not been happy with the direction of My Player. Frankly, I'm turned off by it's trend away from deep character development. One of my favorite genres is RPG and I was hoping I would get MORE of it. Instead, it seems I'm not the target audience. If Live heads more in THAT direction, if the gameplay holds up (not a given by a longshot ), I'm in!

Sounding great. Would love to have more details though, sounding way too similar to the other game's mode.

What else is it supposed to sound like? What is wrong with implementing a good idea as it is? Even if it sounds exactly the same, who cares? The mode is fun!
