NBA Live 14 Is Barely Updating Its Players

[Pared]

Honestly - this article should be addressing the lack of updates from BOTH titles, not just NBA Live's.

It's up to OS' writers to put the pressure and not have it one sided or seemingly slanted. I can see his a reader would get the impression OS is being harder on Live's dev team.

The fact that there aren't any articles about the unprecedented move of not correcting a single bug in this game is a pass in itself...you'd think outside of the roster updates and less than up to par graphics...the game was top shelf...

This is reflected in Scott's interview a few posts down....unless he is just putting on a front, he thinks that the updates have been on point, and the major issues within the game are the graphics and people not knowing how to play...if he truly believes this...I'm not sure anyone's being hard enough on the dev team...

Correct me if I'm wrong but are there not articles on all of the biggest issues facing 2K right now from OS? Problems with MyCareer, DRM, etc? This is an article about one of Live's issues just as there articles addressing the issues in 2K. Live doesn't need to be handled with kid gloves here.

I can understand the rhetoric around here after the elite/13 debacle and 14 not being a polished next gen experience. But unfair bashing has been around prior to all that so no I don't think live gets a fair deal here.

That's a crock & we all know this, especially when they apologized. Also I get your point but the series brought the criticism on itself since Live 06. If you think Live doesn't get a fair deal, did we as gamers get a fair deal when it comes to Live since 06?

Live will never be respected until it actually lives up to being called an only next gen title game.

The 'other' game has an absolutely killer roster out right now that makes the game much better with all accessories, tendencies etc. That roster was done for FREE in their OWN time by users here. There's no excuse for EA's LIVE team barely changing a rating all season, barely fixing accessories, leaving injured players in starting line ups for months etc etc. A roster update, forget the hourly stuff they promised / even once a week would have been acceptable and it would not have been hard to do. Especially as they block users from doing it themselves. They basically went to sleep on major trades, ratings and injuries all season. That IS apathy.

I've been reading through the threads here and really can't argue for or against any opinions here except the extremes of "it's unplayable" and "the game is the best game on planet". But the part highlighted above kinda doesn't make sense. I don't understand that argument at all. Live's devs are lazy because they didn't update their rosters yet the other devs aren't lazy because they didn't update their rosters but somebody else did?

That selection implies that the other game's roster update wasn't all that great either but users made it better, ie making up for the devs "laziness".
Just an observation.

I'm not sure how live 09/10 got the critisims it did. Those were solid titles and brought me back to the series. Heck even one staunch detractor made a nice post about live 10 after seeing 14 lol.

I feel that ea atleast made an effort in 14 to rid the game of the things that were hated most in previous titles. 2 man animations and feet sliding. Yes still a ways to go and 15 better be the full next gen experience.

And one last thanks to WTF for cleaning up these boards!
