Kind of like Derrick Rose's season, NBA Live 14 might just be a lost cause at this point.

It has been 64 days since NBA Live 14 has made its return to sports gamers’ living rooms, but that still doesn’t say much as the franchise is struggling to keep fans interested in a game that lacks both quality and accessible gameplay.

NBA Live was met with backlash when it was first released, which you might say was well deserved.

The gameplay was clunky, the player models looked strange, and the overall feel of the game lacked the fluidity that the game’s main competitor – NBA 2K – seemed to have nearly mastered. After an endless string of bad reviews, EA Sports announced that they would take on a massive project by attempting to fix NBA Live on the fly.

Good read, I agree with a lot of the things you said.

I def agree with this article, I've forwarded it the NBA Live twitter but I'm sure I won't get a response. I know some of the NBA Live guys browse the forums and yet no response or communication as to when we can expect the patch. It's starting to get a little ridiculous.

Live has its share of flaws but it's still a pretty solid 1st attempt. I'm also proud to see EA not copy the competition, like so many seem to want. There is nothing more aggravating than a copycat. I need originality in my games and IMO, EA has a nice start with NBA Live 14.

I think they nailed the pace of the sport, players just need more explosiveness and a few more animations.

8/10. And EA didn't pay me to say this.

They have made a dew upgrades to the game since game has been out...they currently working on that next patch that suspose to be a big patch I'm guessing...the game works and is playable..more then what I can say about the other game...the game may not look good as other game but it is fun to play and on the right track
