E3 2013: NBA Live 14 Hands-On

11:09 AM - June 12, 2013 by RaychelSnr

If you remembered last year, NBA Live 13 was the game I was most excited about seeing at E3 2012. Well, we all know how well that worked out for basketball gamers, as the title was cancelled before it ever came to market.

This year things are looking up, and the reason for that is called bounceTek. BounceTek is the new physics-based dribbling system implemented into the game, which was showcased in some hand-on action with Kyrie Irving. This dribbling system seems to be borrowed from the old (defunct) NBA Elite which never made it to market either. Elite promised a new way of basketball starting with the dribbling system, one must think a lot of that old philosophy still stands with Live 14.

# 124 Rensational14 @ 06/14/13 05:25 PM

They are pretty much spot on. Much better than what 2K has been giving us and pretty close to accurate. Rubio is skinny as hell.

i went to E3 and played Live for PS4...i also spoke to the devs (scott o'gallehor) i know i butchered his name lol... he created the dribbling system and was explaining to me how it all worked. I noticed that kyrie felt like he had a weight to him when he moved. everytime i was traveling in a certain direction and stopped he felt like he planted before shifting his weight in another direction, which was good. I asked them if this was how you get by defenders, by getting them off balance and attacking from angles they can't react to, and they said that was what they were going for with the system.

The player model for kyrie was pretty cool. I felt like the ball was really small, which I mentioned to the devs. The court seemed spot on, they had some cool looking made baskets (off the back of the rim, etc) but I will admit the net physics did look a little weird at times, which of course is to be expected at this stage.
I asked about the jersey texture, and someone from the art team came over and zoomed in on kyrie's jersey and it looked great up close. He also mentioned that they had jersey animations to reflect real life sway and overall movement.
I asked about custom shoes and customization in general and was given a pretty broad answer so im thinking that this will be lean..i did suggest that they make every shoe in the game have customizable layers to tailor to any team rather than having set shoes with specific colorways as live has been know for in the past.

# 128 jordankobewade7 @ 06/15/13 04:43 AM

I didnt like how kyrie seemed hunched over and a little too lean as far as his player model. But the overall look and feel of the game was much better than even the CGI trailer shown. Im curious as to why they didnt just use the actual game even if it were just kyrie in the trailer.
I dont know why, but madden 25 was on Xbox One and nba live was on PS4...I thought EA was all in with Microsoft but I guess not...maybe live is being developed for PS4 first then ported over?not sure but I definitely noticed that.

I started playing EA basketball games when it was Lakers vs Celtics and The NBA Playoffs. I stopped @ NBA Live 10. It was sad to see the series decline over the past decade and I hope NBA Live makes a strong comeback. EA has had a long time to right this ship, so if NBA Live 14 fails they may as well stay away for good.
P.S. I think it's time to bring back NBA Street.

NBA Street should come back after/IF they successfully release this game.

look at rubio's shorts and legs.... i hope they fix that if they want me to buy it

# 133 Rockie_Fresh88 @ 06/18/13 10:05 AM

Sounds good might have to pick up both. Synergy hourly updates sounds interesting . Hoping for a demo .

Does this mean the ball is live?

# 134 youvalss @ 06/18/13 06:56 PM

Will Live 14 be released day 1 when next-gen consoles arrive? If so, will there even be a demo?

Not all demos come out before the game, some come out after they game is released so I think there will probably be a demo on day one or a week or so after.

With 2k creating buzz already, EA should really try to release a demo early though.

# 138 ffaacc03 @ 06/20/13 08:30 AM

If I understood right, there wont be demos on these new gen consoles ... at least not as we know them (early, stripped down versions of the retail games) ... there would only be complete games (divided into SP & MP for those that apply and depending on the devs) limited to be used for a period of time, which I have the feeling would be very minimal.

So, given the new nature of this, I dont expect early releases. Then again, depending on how long are we allow to play them, we would have a exact notion of what are we going to get. Wonderfull !

Yeah. I don't see this seeing October by any stretch. Specially without seeing a workable 5 on 5 game yet. I don't think they got started on this too long ago, I'd expect a delay for this one.

It's a Launch day exclusive for only the new consoles, of course it's not gonna be released in October.
