NBA Live 14 Gameplay Trailer

[Jano]

Decent Trailer. I really enjoyed the jump shots they looked smooth as did the dribble moves. The hunchback defense looked pretty bad though.

As did the blow by's because the offensive player looks so animated and lifelike then you look at the defender... and he looks like "meh he can go by me."

The defenders need to open up and shuffle their feet, they look way too stiff. 2K is going to once again outshine them heavily in the animation department.

Overall I'll probably give this game a try later on down the road once the price drops, because despite the animations it could actually be fun to play. Much like Live 10 this game may actually be a fun ride as a break from 2K's brand of bball.

Actually both offensive and defensive players have this stiffness to them.

That pretty much sums up this trailer.

I'm sorry, but EA must have overhyped the facial expression they were hyping up, cause Lillard facial expression while dribbling looked pathetic!

Are you a bat?

Not the worst thing i've seen. Next to the competition, it would be hard to pick this over the other.

Gotta start somewhere though, keep trying EA.

Oh yeah? So why are the same issues found in elite 11 and live 13 present in a totally reconstructed nba live 14 with new tech? Live 13 youtube clips look and moves like this trailer, except for dribbling upgrade. Different coat of paint, same car!

How can EA justify this? 4 years working solely on next-gen and this is what you come out with? Really?!?? 2k has been working on multiple platforms for the last 4 years, as well as working on BOTH current gen and next-gen. This blows EA right out of the water. It's not even close, for those EA fans who are saying this is good. EA just needs to admit they don't have the talent to make a basketball game. They just don't, it's clearly obvious. They either need to stop making basketball games or hire people who are talented enough. I know EA is wishing Mike Wang didn't leave.

The facial animations have taken leaps, and the jerseys are better animated, but no, I'm not as taken back by 2k's visuals as some of you obviously are. I suspect the games will appear similar graphically on an HDTV.

I agree with your analysis. I think its still not worth full price buts its better than their last attempts. However I don't think its next gen but its only coming out on that platform so its better than nothing.

That's because they are probably using the same animations from those games. I don't think they went in and redid everything.

I'm sure those games were used as a base for Live 14. The new things I could see were jumpshots and dribble moves those looked like they were rebuilt for this gen.

Everything else was probably ripped from previous lives and maybe reworked a bit. EA has got a LOT to redo over the coming years.

I mean look at 2K they have been steadily building there animation library from 2K6 to now so its no wonder it looks so great.

These guys are rewriting mistakes from the past 4 years so all the stiffness doesn't even shock me. I think we gonna be seeing some of that for a bit. All we can hope is that for next coming years is that they continue to build on Live 14 and not scrap again....
