NBA Live 14 Reviews From Around the Web

[Ferweezy]

After 3 years of development, the Live series is literary 10 years behind the 2K series. This game looks like it could of been made in 2003. The Live series is DONE. There is no coming back from this.

You make a very good point, but at this moment in time I think its safe to say that, from what i've seen, NBA Live 10 was/is a more solid game than NBA Live 14.

Rather than start from fresh they should have pulled out NBA Live 10 and spent time moving that onto next gen. EA were never, as you say, going to build a better game than 2K in a year but they've build a far worse one and that cannot be denied, going on video available to us.

Now, I may play it and change my mind that however is very unlikely.

I don't understand a few things people type on here.

1 - The spacing. Players go to the proper spots on the floor, don't crowd each other and generally stay out of each other's way. Corner players clear the post, wing players properly space the floor, etc.

2 - The triangle. You can get nice triangle action on the wing and create some different looks from that action.

3 - There doesn't seem to be much sliding, so footplanting looks to be improved.

4 - Running of different actions at the press of a button. Sean showed it off in the live stream and it was pretty nice. You can get pin downs, iso's, side pick and rolls, horns, etc. with the push of a button.

5 - The AI plays a realistic brand of basketball. Synergy, from what i understand, is not updated yet, but even at that, the teams were playing realistically, working the ball around, taking smart shots, etc.

I could go on and on, too. There were plenty of nice things to take away from those videos. But you and I clearly are on different wavelengths when it comes to what we're seeing in these videos.

So please, continue to troll me because I have a different opinion than yours.

And for the record I also said there were some rough spots. I will reserve judgement on all of this until I have played the game myself and see exactly what it is that it offers.

Will be interesting to see if EA folds the franchise or takes the criticism to heart and implements changes. Time to dig deep EA!

This seems to be a lie that is peddled on here a lot. Live 14 hasnt had a 3 year development. They've worked on Elite and Live 13 in between. Live 14 was started from scratch from what we've been told.

Why people feel the need to perpetuate the lie of this 3 year cycle I dont know. If you are going to have a criticism, do it fairly.

TROLLING YOU!!!?!?!? Because I was trying to understand where you were coming from with what you saw, to get a different grasp and understanding from someone, so I could maybe go back and look at the videos with a different line of sight, but i'm trolling you!?!

Yeah you've convinced me, you're full of it and you can't take any criticism on your precious NBA Live because you want it to succeed so bad. I'm done with this forum, most of you Live fans are nothing but damn children, or at least adults who act like children.
