First Glimpse of NBA Live 15

[shutdown10]

We all pretty much know the core problems this game needs to improve on. The other problem is how they market or present the game to the community in the beginning stages. I think they need to build the anticipation early for Live 15, so that the game has a chance at selling productively . I checked VG chartz today and the current total sells for Live 14 globally is 170,000 copies. This game is not even going to crack 200,000 copies sold with the NBA games now being in post season, which is not good with the season being over soon altogether. They need to show a sample or sneak peek of Live 15 during this years NBA finals. Last they need to reveal the game at this year's E3 with positive and solid feedback from the people who will frequent that event. I believe those are building blocks that can help the game sell well, but the game has to be solid and receive good impressions early on.

Nba Live is a fringe bball game, and it shows.

Looks nice and I hope live will be more about basketball and not about microtransaction trash like what the other game is about right now...

Your correct but the harsh criticism from pretty much everyone will force them to change that or scrap the game for good. They cannot afford to have this game continue this disappointing cycle.

Live needs to just produce a decent game with a stable environment to play in.

2K's servers have become a serious hiccup. Even if the game inferior, if you know you can turn on your console and actually play it online, it could start to gain some customers and build from there.

I don't have much faith in Live actually getting it right, they haven't in years.....but it would be great for Basketball gamers as a whole....simply because 2K needs a fire lit under there asses

Remember this...Live needs to show something this year.

So after todays events in the real life NBA with KD winning the League MVP. 2k announced right off the bat on the same day that he will also be on the cover of 2k15. Now what strangely has come to my mind tonight is very unlikely but anything is possible in the media nowadays.

Once all is said and done after the 2013-2014 NBA season, the ex 2K cover athlete LeBron James can opt out of his contract with the Heat. Each NBA season ends in June then starts the offseason in that same month if I'm correct? Well lets just say if and only "if" LeBron does shock the league and all of its followers by announcing his return back to his draft team immediately after the season. Then would it be possible for EA Sports to bring THE FIRST BACK TO BACK TEAMMATE COVER ATHLETE (Kyrie Irving on Live 14) and (LeBron on Live 15) IN THE HISTORY OF SPORTS VIDEO GAMES ON THAT SAME DAY FOR HIM??

Now the only reason why I'm hypothisizing and making this outrageous theory is because last years NBA Live 14 cover was announced on July 23rd as Cleveland Cavalier, Kyrie Irving who is clearly still on the Cavs today. But 2k's was reveled June 6th pretty much after the Heat won The Finals last year. Then now that KD is that seasons real life MVP and the "same day" cover athlete. That strangley leads me to believe something is brewing up behind the scenes greater than we think!

As a loyal long time Cleveland sports fan I do believe "The Greatest Athlete in The World"(LBJ)could make his return back to Cleveland professional basketball more smoothly if he can truly pull his major marketing strings between the two game developers by just simply becoming a free agent, sign another contract, wear another Cavs uniform (#6) on the Cover of NBA Live 15!!!

If this is becomes real life to not just me but all of us then it will be extremely ledgendary and courageous by not only LeBron himself but the game developers too because this truly could create another video game sports monopoly deja vu we already encountered to a whole other level we've never seen before!!!!

SO PLEASE OPERATION SPORTS LEAVE AND STICKY THIS THREAD OR EVEN MAKE A ARTICLE ABOUT MY ULTIMATE SPORTS ANALOGY HECK OR EVEN HIRE ME TO YOUR SITE IF THIS HAPPENS IM BRILLIANT LIKE LEBRON HIMSELF!!!
