You should wait with comments like this until the game comes out so we can test it first. There is not sign of the things you said since they have a new team working on it this year.

They couldn't even come close to 2K and they had 4 years to give us one good game and they couldn't do it. NBA Elite and Live 13 was straight garbage, so I don't know why some guys continue to believe that this company has what it takes to compete with 2K. Can you imagine what the basketball game would be like if they had those license as well? Wow! ....they have really killed football as we know it.

Dont fool yourself into thinking that a new system doesnt make a difference, it means alot. Im sure EA will show something we havent seen b/c....... we havent seen it yet lol.

We all know they couldnt compete on current gen but understand that next gen is different, they are releasing a game. We are the only ones here talking about how everything has gone in the past which is why we dont follow the EA hype train but dont think for a second that 2k is taking them lightly b/c of their past like alot of 2k fans are (Im a fan of both for the record).

You do know that 2k really started to take over even more when we moved to the new systems right?

Current gen will be a thing of the past. When next gen games start coming out nobody will give a dodo about current gen(2k or EA), but of course we as fans will are speculating based off of what happened in the past. Im just letting you know right now it doesnt matter how anybody feels and ppl are getting real emotional b/c they are angry with ea which is understandable.

Your emotions lead you to BELIEVE that ea will put out garbage b/c of they're previous releases but dont act like you KNOW whats going on until we see some gameplay of the TWO and have legit comparable evidence.

Until then all of the opinions and "fanboyism" of who's better and who will have a better game USELESS, its all speculation from a bunch of ppl who BELIEVE not KNOW who will have a better game. We probably even think we know that 2k will sell more which I strongly believe lol but I still dont even know that b/c live did have a lot of fans b4.

Its even field right now, clean slate my brotha. Like if ea releases a good game (which I BELIEVE they will lol)everything will be forgiven then what are you going to talk about? Their past still?

Technology was never the cause of Live failing last gen it all had to do with the business philosophy at EA and having too many chiefs in the kitchen, they had a solid game in Live 10 and decided to go in another direction at the objection of Mike Wang, if Live 14 fails to make money this year will they once again start from scratch.

The video has nothing to do with Live 14. New console, new dev team and new engine. To compare it to Live 13 is just dumb.

That video is a great example of things EA did well (presentation, lighting, commentary, crowd reactions, stadium sounds, ESPN ticker) & also some flaws which deemed the game not ready for release (player models, player sliding, predetermined shot selection & canned animations) building off this and improving gameplay to the standard of the presentation will make this game standout over a game that most of us (myself included) have been playing for the past 3+ years, i personally am excited to see the return of Live to the hardwood, and i think they are going to deliver on their promises, Live fans will be cheering come November and all doubt & optimism will be put to rest.
