NBA Live 14 Has Arrived, Post Your Impressions Here

[WTF]

I'll tell you, the stadiums overall, and the floor textures are awesome in the game. If everything was as high quality, this game would look really nice.

Can anyone tell me if the shooting has changed? What I mean is on the demo when I shoot a jumper with someone, it didn't feel like there was a "flow" to someones shot. You know what I mean? I didn't have that feeling of a real "follow through" with jump shots. It felt like the moment someone was almost at the height of their jumper, its like the follow through felt like it was super fast forwarded.. they all feel like quick flicks rather than jumpers... same thing for dunks.. the moves leading to the dunks are OK.. and coming down off the rim is OK.. but again theres like this point inbetween right before the dunk actually happens and them coming down that feels like the animation goes into 8X fast forward....

Basically does the jump shooting and free-throws still feel robotic and similar for each player shooting that same kind of shot?

Do the players look less wrapped in Saran-wrap?

I can only assume that the game becomes laggy on high detail. Game looks pretty good up close and little things are getting better day by day.

I have the full game in my hands now an I have to say, it's pretty good. I'm really liking the player differentiation. Makes it feel different with every team you play with. I find in 2K I feel like every team is the same, there's just different ratings. I wish they had more signature jumpers in though. I'm having lots of fun with the game even though I've just started playing(the full game). Expect more posts here from me in the future.

I can say that the shooting in the retail version "feels" far and above anything else. I can shoot with Ben McLemore's sweet form, and it feels totally different than Rudy Gay or Derrick Williams by far. Different release points, different quickness. I feel like I have to hold the button until in real life I'd "flick my wrist" to launch. I don't know if that makes sense, but I really like the way it feels.

The free throws, I have seen 2-3 different ones I believe, but they all generally feel the same. And I could be totally wrong, they may be all the same. I know Shawn Marion has his separate one. The Free Throws do feel generic no doubt.

The dunks, I'm actually enjoying quite a few of them. I'm seeing more and more different dunks each day. They flow pretty smooth as well, no more "rocket dunks" that I've seen. That was one of my biggest gripes even in the teaser trailer, was Derrick Rose's rocket dunk. They all feel smooth/fluid, no real hitch.

There is 1 alley oop that I'm not terribly fond of, and it's the one that they catch the ball and **** it back with two hands before slamming it home. It looks ferocious, but it's the one dunk that does feel sped up to hid a transitional animation. When you go into replay though, it looks just as smooth as anything else.

Hope this helps somewhat.

Man am I glad I picked this title up again after trading it in the first time. Having a lot of fun with it over the last 4-5 days and it is actually becoming one of my go to titles - in the top 4 right now.

[WTF]

I was wondering what you thought about it after picking it back up. Glad to see you are enjoying it.
