EA Sports Announces Rising Star, Career Mode For NBA Live 14

[DBMcGee3]

I mean, is it even confirmed that the game will be out? We're 6 weeks away from release and still not a single clip of gameplay, or really much info at all. It will be interesting to see how this plays out once 2k starts dropping feature videos every other day. I want a good competition as much as anyone, but it would shock me if EA made a game anywhere near 2k's current level. If they had something special, I have to believe they'd be eager to show it off at least a little.

If I'm not mistaken BAP modes are the most played mode in sports games.

I refuse to support a game on some fanboyism type stuff even if it's garbage. I want a complete gaming experience and a strong attempt at trying to compete.

Everyone is missing my points. Both have stolen from each other while they were competing, YES!! But EA basketball is DEAD!! My point is you can't come back in doing something exactly the way your competitor is doing it RIGHT NOW!! Regardless of who had the original idea, the point is 2k has My Player and the announcement from EA sounds like a complete rip of what's out there. Why would someone buy the same thing from a company that has failed recently over a company that has thrived?? Of course you'll get EA fans that will buy no matter what, but the masses want to see things on the back of the box that will warrant a purchase of two basketball games. And I say two because practically no one outside of EA fans is passing up 2k for Live. But if Live took another route with their career mode and style, then you could make progress. But it's hard to beat the bully fighting like the bully, even if some of the moves were originally yours. He has all the power now and you have to be smarter and more innovative.

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.

When did you see some Live 14 gameplay???

To be completely honest, I'm a bit more interested in hearing from Live this year because, one they have been gone for a while and I'd like to hear how they are (hopefully) moving in the right direction, and two because they are discussing a next-gen game, while I expect 2K to only talk about current-gen until it is released.

They have European teams, but the games still look and play the same as NBA teams in 2k13. There was no new presentation elements at all. They even used the same commentary.

Live isn't releasing in 6 weeks.... it's a release day launch with next-gen consoles (November 15th for PS4, which I will be getting), they aren't making a current-gen game.
