NBA Live 14 Reviews From Around the Web

[assclown25]

Played the demo and have 1 word for it! Awful. I had hopes for this yrs Live and this is what they gave us? Seems to me that EA ONLY gives us quality when they have competition (like FIFA) they have no competition with Madden or Hockey and both games have stayed the same or have gotten worse. With Live being gone for so long and the competition they knew they had w/ 2k14 I'm surprised they ever released this game. What EA needs to do is take a page from The Show. Build a great base and add on from there, but until they do this I'm sure they will see there sales continue to go down and it will be us the buyers who will suffer!

Ouch, even though I have my X1 NBA 2K14 in hand, I would still like to see EA put out a viable competitor. Competition is good and necessary.

Well, I guess IGN has a kindred spirit...

Countdown to the discrediting posts...

The game is 10 years too late. It would have been great on the first Xbox and PlayStation. One thing the game does illustrate, is that a game all depends on the software and people making it. The Live team just didn't fully harness the power of the PS4/X1 and it makes both systems look weak when that's not the case.

The solution to EAs woes in basketball and football is clear. New software, new production teams. Start from sratch and stop using the same mold from the last 13 years.

I love the "If you play smart, the game plays great" comments.

Uhhhh, NEWSFLASH MCFLY! ALL SPORTS GAMES CAN LOOK GOOD IF YOU PLAY SMART!

Come on now, that's common Sports Game Sense right there.

One of those texts was from this guy

It's like people expect the game to recognize that you're playing smart ball:

Calling the right plays, executing, getting good shots and making good use of your timeouts & subs.

If and only if you accomplish this you will unlock all the animations hidden to the vast majority of gamers. Your eyes will also slowly evolve and the graphics will upgrade.

I bit the bullet. $30 deficit to trade in NBA Live toward NBA 2K the next friggin' day. (GameStop is offering $22 in trade, another $10 toward NBA 2K13).

This site has given me so much over the years...so I beg you: please do NOT buy Live. While 2K isn't much improved over the last gen versions re: gameplay, it's absolutely magnificent as an example of next gen. It's gorgeous, and plays a solid game of ball (to include my beloved classic teams). This is the best we have...coming from a guy who adored NBA Live 10 and NCAA Basketball even more.

Hope to see you online.
