This is a great way to differentiate players (in terms of dribbling and movement), something 2k doesn't offer, dribbling looks and feels the same with every player.

Hey what EA says and what they deliver is two different things sometimes. They revamped the Madden engine and we see how that went smh. Live could nail it, but I'm waiting to see it and play it first. If they fool any of us this time, all shame is on us.

My only thing is, so far,they are all about a single game or season experience. They haven't come right out and said it, but this game sounds barebones. Problem is, I'm all about Association on 2k. I don't play online. They did this with Live 07. And they thought they were fooling the Franchise types with Madden last year. If this game has no traditional franchise, I have no interest. I wish they would just go ahead and let the cat out of the bag. Konami had to let the cat out of the bag with PES and only having 20 stadiums and no rain.

That said, I would just prefer them to state what this game will and won't have. I think it would suit them well. Especially in light of the way the series has been handled the last three years. Then gamers like myself can make an educated choice. If it's not fully equipped, I'll see you next year. No harm, no foul. I'll appreciate you not spinning me with marketing jive and will keep you on my radar. Spin me like all of your previous comrades did, you've killed any chance. Just sayin.....

Doesnt that make these games a stalemate at this point? We know little about each, I would wait for more news and gameplay before deciding which game you are buying

Wait, no info regarding a crew or my team have been announced for Live, so how can you say they wont implement such a mode? Live 14 will have legends, therefore I'm sure they will include Ultimate Team

2k has a great history therefore live sucks.... I think people will be surprised with live this year and should atleast give it a play test before deciding.

I don't know how you can make judgements based on the all holy 5vs5 gameplay. I see warping, sliding and cheese in 2k videos too.

A few months ago they stated this will be a fully featured title.

Here's a list of the other additions their adding to the game. So I'm assuming there's a franchise mode featured for this years addition as well. The transparency the team is showing this year is something we haven't really seen from the NBA Live franchise. Usually they're all about the features and marketing, but right now they're basically saying we want to prove to you that we're legit. They also said that we'll have a chance to get our hands on the game beforehand (Gamestop maybe?).

So far they've proven to be on the positive side of the spectrum, and according to this article the 5 on 5 is completely rebuilt. So we'll have to wait and see.

Personally, I think we'll get a solid basketball game that isn't really heavy on features at least this year anyway.

Thanks. Hadn't seen that. Even if it's not as deep as Association, I could do with it. I loved Live 10. Last few years have found me really loving 2k. I play PC, so it's a pretty good experience, with mods and all. I'll be honest. I have next to no faith in this game, so far. I love Fifa more than anything, but Tiburon's efforts have left me with a fairly bad taste in my mouth towards EA in general. I have no interest in Madden. And marginal interest in NCAA, simply because I'm thinking it's the last one ever. All that said, I really need to be shown they are for real. I agree about them wanting to be transparent. But we have seen no gameplay videos or had full features confirmed.

It's almost as if they are once again trying to beat the deadline to ship. And that says, to myself, it's not quite right yet. Color me jaded, but it seems this scenario is vaguely familiar. When it comes to this game, I'm from Missouri!

I'm actually going to remove this game from my preorder for PS4 and wait for chatter on the internet about it, as well as 2K14 for it. I'll be off that day waiting for my delivery so I'll keep checking the net then see if I wanna run out that day and pickup either one or both.
