NBA Live 14 Has Arrived, Post Your Impressions Here

[WTF]

Find a way to rent the game nate1986. It's the easiest way to tell if the game is worth your purchase. You aren't spending our money, you're spending yours. It's well worth my $60.

I just got stomped as the Pistons against the Wizards. Wall & Beal was too much for me to handle.

That particular play killed me. If I go over the Gortat screen, Nene is there for a second screen. If he ignores the screen and drives to the hoop, you have Wall spotting in the corner. I saw Nene slip the screen, Gortat pop from the screen, Beal fake the screen and step back for the 3... Just a crazy offense. They were hitting, no doubt. I got into Foul Trouble as Monroe early on, and Drummond was pretty inefficient against Gortat/Nene.

I love 2k gameplay but lately I've been appreciating Live on the court too. Its still rocky in aspects of the fundamentals but the tweaking EA has been doing makes me glad I kept it. I felt at launch I wasted money, I don't feel like that now .

In response to nate

I just love that live feels different to 2k and I think that's enough.
Let's be honest 2k is probably the better "video game".
I think live represents a better portrayal of the sport.

I think the fact that 2ks gameplay has remained the same for quite a few years means live feels fresh worts and all.

They have a lot of work to do to compete in the marketplace but they definitely have my attention and I will continue to play live over 2k for the reasons above and the fact that the money grab that is VC annoys the crap out of me.

Then, I tried to take a picture of the Blazer's Leading Scorer's in the post game score, and the game froze Rematch, here I come.

Damn WTF! 54 pts? Does LIVE have a tutorial?
Just messing with you man... sounds awesome! Can't wait to pick up a copy, probably after Christmas.

Thanks for answering my question, in what ways is live a better representation.of the sport

I got to do some game to nba live 14, I really like the pace of the game and how to play the cpu while some things are really ugly to look at, in particular, the blocks are made very badly, I also wanted to ask you if there is a way to see the patterns on the field as well as happens for nba 2k14

Hopefully you manage to get it before Christmas.

The game is tough. I had a convo with another OS'er yesterday on the difficulty level. I think that Pro is a great level of difficulty, and as you can see, the CPU superstars will definitely go off on you. Geez. Lillard could have had that many too, he was just off shooting wise.

Tough game, but man, it's a great feeling game. I saw 2 new animations last night in the post that I hadn't seen before, and a few dunks. I'm not sure if they're just rare, or they're new. Very fluid.
