I am wondering if NBA live Game play is better thatn 2k14

[merio1992]

Because I am thinking about getting the game. My questions are

1. Are defensive rotations good off of double teams.
2. How good is the Help Defense ?
3.Do they call charges automatically when a player spam the paint and run into the defenders?

defensive rotations are good. this is one of the areas where live does a great job. both in rotations and spacing.

help defense is pretty solid as well.

there are a realistic amount of charges called in the paint. that being said they are usually drawn by the cpu (either on my own team or on the opposing team).

one thing i will warn is that post defense is incredibly difficult. the cpu likes to go to the post far too often (seems to be a tendency issue) and it kind of breaks the immersion. oftentimes you will see the cpu score 60-70+ points in the paint.

Ok Thank you, I wanted to make sure because 2K Sports looks like it is going down the wrong path with their customers. I think NBA Live is going to be awesome this year.

Heh, you're a lot more intricate in the 2k forum, lol

To the OP, I would suggest skimming through the last 5 or so pages of the impressions thread.....gives you a pretty good picture of Lives gameplay....good and bad.

maybe a little lol. its a lot easier to paint a picture of my issues with 2k. i guess im more frustrated by the legacy issues than anything else. it might just be that i play my career 95% of the time and its much easier to see the same flaws when you only control one person.

my biggest gripe with live is how relentlessly the cpu attacks the post coupled with the near impossible post defense. i havent played it at all in over a month.

Post d isn't that difficult. Defending that one baseline spin move is near impossible. But defending other moves actually isnt that hard

2k has brought me back to playing live and I couldn't be anymore happier! I honestly don't think ppl understand how good This game is.

I agree with your post. I think 2k sports is going down wrong road by not listening to consumers and not changing their Game Servers.
