I am pretty sure that Giannis and Wolters are getting makeovers as well as Antic. Also Blake Griffin. We'll see.

Sean O' Brien's apology did not come through with this update.

I’m not going to lie; it’s been a rough week. As you can imagine, this isn’t exactly the NBA LIVE comeback story we were hoping for this year.

We hear loud and clear that some of you are disappointed in various aspects of NBA LIVE 14, and I’m sorry if the game doesn’t live up to your expectations. Looking at your feedback, we have laid out a plan to make NBA LIVE 14 a better game as quickly as we can.

First, you’ve told us that the game is too hard to learn, and that the only way to figure it out is through frustrating trial-and-error. As a result, we are working on improving the way the game teaches the controls and on-boards new users. We realize that every single one of you is a new user and know we need to make the game easier to understand and simpler to pick up and play.

We’re also conducting an ongoing series of Twitch Live Streams to teach the skills that will help make your game experience a better one. We have our producers and designers online seven days a week to answer your questions and to offer other helpful game advice. Additionally, we’ve posted Controller Guide, Perfecting Your Style and Levels of the Dribble blogs on the NBA LIVE website which we hope will help you with basic offense, defense, play calling and more.

We’re not going to stop there. You’ve also let us know that you’re disappointed by the graphics and animations, and I can tell you that we are committed to making drastic and immediate improvements. In order to get gameplay up and running this year we had to prioritize. We felt authentic gameplay, control and the connected experience would provide the best foundation for the future. As a result, game visuals and animation polish suffered.You will notice in the coming weeks and months that the game’s visuals and animation will improve significantly Improvements on these fronts are also in development now for NBA LIVE 14. .

A goal from the start was to stay relevant to the ongoing NBA season and evolve your gaming experience. We’ve been hearing that you love LIVE Season, and many of you are having a lot of fun with BIG Moments. We’re really glad to hear you’re enjoying the mode, and rest assured we will continue updating LIVE Season with new BIG Moments and NBA Rewind games every single day of the season. We’ve also gotten a lot of great feedback on LIVE Ultimate Team, and we’ve still got some big announcements and major additions coming down the road, so stick around for that.

Let me wrap up with this; for those of you who have supported us throughout this development cycle and continue to have our backs now, thank you. We’ve got a lot of work to do; I’ve got a lot of work to do. It started 12 months ago, and continues until we build this franchise bigger and better than it ever was. This is just the first chapter in the NBA LIVE comeback story.


The update did not improve the graphics or animations significantly, and I doubt any other big announcement or major additions are coming to this game in this cycle. I suppose they are saving their chips for Live 15, but all of us who purchase these Basketball games have to be worried about the state of what they are putting out. Whether you support them or not we all have to lock arms and demand them to bring quality to the table or else we will no longer purchase their game. They cannot afford another 100,000 or 150,000 copies sold next year.

like some have suggested, this was just a beta. the more I see things the more I have to agree. it is a 3 year plan after all. can't blame them for putting all the resources in live 15 like they should.

Can we stop calling developers lazy? We don't roll like that here at OS. Pose an intelligent argument and put some thought into your comments.

This is the fun part about word play. Our definition of what xyz is a little different than EAs.

A lot of it boils down to simple communication....

Why are we hearing from a 3rd party that some faces may be updated? (Not that I don't appreciate it WTF)

Why couldn't they give is some notes as far as the 'little' updates they've done throughout the weeks?...we were actually told we'd be getting some on that second update but they never came. Instead were left guessing. "Oh the games faster" "The game is smoother!" "The games too slow now!" "I'm seeing tons of new animations!"

Maybe they want it that way, who knows....it'd go a long way actually keeping us in the loop though....

I sure hope so, I think if they can update a few faces and fix a couple bugs before they move on with 15 I'd be happy. I have my doubts but I'm trying my hardest to give these guys my support. I really do have high hopes for 15.
