NBA Live 14 Reviews From Around the Web

[KyotoCarl]

Too me Live 14 looks very much like the gameplay video of Live 13 we got a year ago. It's clear that's the game they based Live 14 of.

This game will just be a demo download for me. I was planning on buying it but I'm not going to spend any money on this product. Hopefully they keep working and have a more solid product next year.

EA Sports and the development teams that have worked on the failed titles misled and mismanaged the series. Poor design, planning, execution, and messaging has led them to their earned ridicule. If you do enough searching you'll find that EA Sports has been working on an an NBA series title for the last 4 years. There are at least two credible outlets, Pastapadre (Bryan Wiedey) and Kotakus-Owen Good who have covered the failings in the recent years. Nobody who plays or purchases COD, FIFA or Madden annually would stand for this ineptitude. Elite 11...basically recalled shipped games Elite 12/NBA Live 12...nothing, but Peter Moore quoted as saying there was an up and running build Live 13...xbox live/psn only download that was cancelled when the horrid game video leaked (majornelson basically confirmed that what we saw was what we were getting) Live 14...polished version of Live 13 that they hid until release EA Sports has gotten off easy in all this. Luckily for them basketball doesn't drive sports gaming like both futbol and football!

where is it stated that live 14 is a polished live 13? from the dev interviews ive seen/read they used practically nothing from live 13.

Do you honestly think that they would admit to building Live 14 off Live 13? Live 13 was never released, so they are not going to tell any consumer nada with the bad reception that game got when the Heat at Thunder game play was leaked. I would advise you to not be so naive and watch that NBA Live 13 footage closely because it plays very similar to 14. The sound of the rim when the ball bounces off is the same as Live 13. Sean O. Brian was not there, but Scott O. Gallagher worked with that Live 13 team. EA is a very shady company, and now they are reaping what they sowed. If you check on the pastapadre site you will see that the NCAA is now going to sue EA for their bad business practices. If Live 14 does not sell, then they will be scrapped because of the legal hit EA has taken this year. There will be no more budget for basketball.

This made me chuckle.. but it's so true.

It can be turned on or off from the gameplay options screen.

It really doesn't improve the off-ball AI much, though. The difference between off and on is minimal.

If the OS review of Live is as bad as many other outlets' have been, I cannot wait to see the what the "they're biased" "they aren't playing the game right" "they don't know real basketball" crew will have to say in response.
