NBA Live 14 Reviews From Around the Web

The demo I am downloading now will determine my purchase.

All that ducking a dodging was for a reason. SMH.

I'll give the demo a try later today.

After a three year hiatus, I sincerely thought that they would taken a step forward, especially on the NEXT GEN consoles. And based on what I have seen, that just is not the case. It's not disappointing to me, for the simple fact that I have no faith in EA anymore. Just looking back over the history and where this franchise has ended up it's just like, "wow!".

I disagree they are fools because the animations and CPU Ai even in those streams are no different from any other previous of Live.

The game has always lacked in animations and player movement ad this version despite it being Next Gen is no different.

We don't need to play the demo to see how bad the animations suck. The DEMO isn't or final version isn't going to give a complete 180 turnaround on the things that have always failed in Live.

There should be games that hit the 4.3 mark, but currently our ideas of video game scores only usually come from around a 6 - 10 range. Almost everything now falls into a 5 point scale out of what should be a 10 point scale.

There's really no point debating whether IGN's score was fair or not. They're not a credible review for sports games, basketball in particular, since the reviewers usually know next to nothing about the sport and are bad at the game itself. This applies to the major game review sites. The bit on Radarstation implying that the Spurs were a boring team to watch was just laughable and an insult to any basketball fan.

THERE you go! Thou must defend Live by trashing 2K at all cost!

You guys REALLY need to find a new strategy.

Look, if you're set on getting Live, I don't discourage it. I'm just saying - be aware of all of the issues that he mentioned. He has a point on quite a few. I'm just saying be informed.
