I'm just glad to see that others out there see some positives in the game, too. They just aren't being loud on these forums like I am

Not even trying to be funny here. Can you name me 5 positives that you took from these videos? Just 5, I'm really curious to know what you're seeing.

The streams tell me all I need to know that this game is not worth my money.

Please don't tell me you're comparing Live 14 to GTA 5. I beg of you.

i look at it this way.

i hammered EA's NHL series for years, wanting it to be more like 2K's NHL game etc.

but people LOVE EA's take on NHL for some reason and hammered 2K for years until they stopped making the game.

now here, people LOVE 2K's take on the NBA and hate what EA is doing.

i honestly love having two options, i get tired of one, go and play the other for a bit.

sure Live 14 is not even in the same arena as 2K 14, but who expected it to be? if you did, thats on you.

im a casual NBA fan (huge Cavs fan though) and im buying both. im sure ill enjoy both equally despite flaws of each.

EA should have hit up a price drop from the get go, preorder NBA Live 14 for $24.99 or get it for $29.99 through the holidays etc. i mean, games usually hit their peak after first 2 weeks of release, then spike a bit around the holidays. i bet if they did that they would have sold more games than they probably will now. go that old school 2K route if ya have to, $20 bucks, boom!

im all for competition, i hope this game sells enough for them to make another.

What do you think?

Try reading what I typed. Then try understanding why I typed it.

I had the NBA Live 14 feed up last night for about 2 hours. A dev (Ryan was his first name, I can't remember his last name) was answering questions about the game while another developer was playing. Sitting there watching how the players move, react, and play made me feel embarrassed for EA. This is the best they could do?

EVERY shot that went in was a swish. Literally, every shot. No shots hit the rim and rolled in. None. People were in the Twitch.tv chat even asking the devs why every shot was a swish, and if the ball ever hit the rim. The devs never answered that I saw. The devs kept saying, "Wait to play it for yourself, so you can actually feel the game." I don't need to because this game isn't what I'm looking for. I don't need to watch "Battlefield Earth" to know how bad it sucks after seeing the trailer.

Bulls vs. Blazers was the first NBA game that I remember playing back in the day, and just based on the history I have enjoying EA basketball games, I wanted Live 14 to at least be decent, but instead, it's honestly a mediocre, laughable iteration of a Live game. To each their own, but this game isn't for me. I feel bad for the people who worked on this game because it's nothing to be proud of.
