NBA Live 14 Trailer - First Look (Screen Captures Included)

04:14 PM - September 18, 2013 by Steve_OS

EA Sports has released their NBA Live 14 gameplay trailer, which features a first look at their game in action. We figured it would be short, let us know what you think.

In the coming weeks expect to hear a lot more about NBA Live 14, some of the nuggets we are expecting to learn about are the 50+ signature styles in the game, Connected Experiences, and more game modes. It appears as if the Live 14 hype train has finally left the station and it's expected we'll see a lot more on this game in the next several weeks.

We've also captured some screenshots from the video. Obviously, they will look better in 1080p, these were captured in 720p.

The monkey is off their back when they prove themselves. Not before.

Its your opinion dude.

Except that there are devs from Live 07 on the live 14 team.
1st month sales will dispel your "clean slate" theory, then youll be crying that its because of past games & reputation.
Too many homers in this thread... 'quoted'...

There's a famous quote out there goes something like; "those who cannot remember the past are doomed to repeat it."

Live/EA's past is completely relevant. I know dudes are all gung ho about people 'not bringing up Live's past all the time' mostly because alot of you same dudes that want to get a clean slate now are the same ones out here that were selling that hope for the future/fixing what's wrong with basketball games/just want something different stuff with every Elite 11 newsbit that dropped during that hype train. The same ones that were finding ways to discredit Mike Wang when the news broke that he was out at EA and headed back to 2K. It's not hard to see who really is concerned about helping basketball games move forward.

For the record, Live has always had talented dudes on the team. There's always been guys that love the NBA and love hoops working there (granted they put a hockey guy in charge for Elite, point still stands though) the problem with Live has ALWAYS been from the top down where those guys' visions have been overruled by an accounting spreadsheet. So if you want to get butt hurt that people aren't falling over themselves over promises and talking go right head, but keep in mind the people that are being cautious about buying into the buzzwords and clever marketing tricks are aware that this isn't the first talented development team committed to making a good basketball game that Live has had. You tell me you have hope because it's a new team working on the game, tell me how new the decision making team in the biggest offices overseeing that new Live team are and then we'll talk about hope for the future. Until then, this is all a repeat showing.

Get over it, they made mistakes so what? I'm sure there's some decisions and mistakes you made that you would do over in an instant if you could... I see a new generation of systems, with more power, more memory, and more room for creativity and innovation. I see a once beloved franchise who's had there behinds handed to them ready to start fresh. I see a game whose outcome doesn't have to be decided by who knows how to exploit the animations better than the other, but by the unpredictability of the sport. I'm not going to be close minded and say, we've already saw what EA's done we know what we're going to get, I'll just keep an open mind and listen. I'll do my research, no video or screenshot is going to sell me, but I'll read, see, and try it for myself before I even dish out a penny. Once again, Thomas Edison failed so many times before he got the light bulb right, I'm sure there were naysayers of his time too. "Wow, Thomas is such a bum, doesn't he see this light-bulb thing is just not for him, give it up, John Doe's got the best candles around give up", but I bet you're loving you some light right now.

Edison wasn't the first to create the lightbulb, though he did invent the first commercially practical incandescent light. In this one respect, Edison would be 2K because 2K pushes practical and marketable technology.

I'm also pretty sure Edison didn't hype his inventions before they were presentable. In this respect EA has been more like PT Barnum the last few years.

Also Edison actually stood against progress in important areas-- he devoted a smear campaign against Tesla and AC electricity, which we use in just about everything and not merely lightbulbs. Tesla's genius was on a other level t

Anyway, poor analogy, since Edison wasn't about hype and false promises year after year. We can keep an open mind about EA developing and pushing technology. It's another matter when they make grandiose promises and fail THEIR OWN hype year after year.

Anyway, it looks like EA might have enough for a playable game this year. Even of its bad as far as simulation basketball goes, it looks like they night have a decent framework to build on. And being the underdogs might actually cause them to be innovative instead of milking the franchise like Madden.

Also, it's somewhat self contradictory to simultaneously say we should give EA a clean slate and turn around and say we should acknowledge Live's legacy. You can't have it both ways.

And the last thing you want is people buying Live on its name. This will cause EA to sit back and rest on its laurels once again. You want to keep Live scratching and clawing rather than rest on undeserved reputation.

I never said he was the first to invent it. Only reason I mentioned Edison was because of his famous quote about failure.

"I have not failed. I've just found 10,000 ways that won't work."

I've brought that quote up multiple times in this forum, so I added Edison in just for reference, reason why I said once again at the beginning. Overall my point was he's failed before, but he learned from it. There probably times where he wanted to give up, or even saw the competition and thought to; or maybe even his own colleagues discouraged him but the point was he had the potential to revolutionize lighting and he stuck with it.

Sorry I didn't Wikipedia his history, cite my sources, and then send you a bibliography, I was just trying to simplify things.

They have uploaded some new screenshots on the website. If you scroll down the page you see Kyrie and Lillard. Not sure if they are in game screenshots but they do look good. The funny this is neither of them have arm pit hair.

After seeing those images I don't like the player models or the faces..They look little to nothing like the renders....They barely looks 20% better than current gen....

Lillards arms and hands are puffy and just weird and those are the same skin textures from Live 09 and 10! All they did was smooth them out a tad.

# 249 iverson_2k @ 09/21/13 02:55 AM

Yeah I agree with Lillard's hands it looks like his wrist is super swollen. But you can actually see the perforations on the jerseys to help them breathe better. Also, the bottom picture of madison square garden looks good with the lighting. Just sucks we have to wait for the last 7 trailers, ALL of which don't come out till next month leading up to the game. So I guess they have sometime to make changes.

# 250 blingballa333 @ 09/21/13 03:29 AM

The game looks FINE. I don't know what else you guys want. Lillard looks spot on as well as Kyrie. Puffy hands? C'mon guys.

Really? I'm all for this game and I will be getting it at Launch of my Xbox One....

But are you telling me you don't have a problem with these models..

I understand the EA is claiming to have different artist for graphics but I see a lot of similarities and also the same super long forearms that have plagued Live series since 06.

Makes no sense to have this still going into Next Gen, we got to get body parts right and sizes right.

# 252 blingballa333 @ 09/21/13 03:37 AM

What exactly is your beef with them Shadows? Lillard's left forearm does look a tad odd, but that could totally be the angle. The skin textures aren't going to satisfy everyone, but those are by far the most accurate representations of those two players I've seen to date. But that's just my opinion. To each his own, right?

# 253 iverson_2k @ 09/21/13 03:58 AM

Just have to wait 2 more weeks to see the next gameplay trailer..But I have a feeling they just took one long trailer and broke it up into pieces. B/c at the end of the trailer it says to be continued. So I'm guessing the next trailer will leave off where this one ended. I guess we find out if he made the layup.

In both pics I've seen lillard looks fat

I'll take this further. The new team hasn't done a basketball game before. The new team is working with the same codebase that failed. The new team is lead by a former player that hasn't shipped at game. I'm sorry, but these are NOT favorable conditions for success. My hypocrisy comments are born out of people that say you can ignore the past of one game, but not the other game. Then there are those that want competition as long as it means it keeping an EA title alive. What do they care of titles like PES and NHL 2K? Zero. But if its Live or Triple Play, sign them up! I just think it is funny.

Seriously man, why does it look like he has paws?

# 257 JBulls @ 09/21/13 05:40 AM

Yeah they should've added tech that scanned the player's physique to the budget. Worth it imo since the one's they have now are weak.

# 258 mlp111 @ 09/21/13 09:00 AM

live 14 has the same skin texture of live 13 and possible previously released lives with updated lighting, as i said previous.... I keep mentioning the fact that Peter Moore said that they need 2 more yrs to complete this game.... but yet live forerunners keep thinking this game has been COMPLETELY REDONE... not so... dribbling (bounctek), nba stat data, and can't remember the last thing there always taking about seems to be what the Live devs focused on this yr, i wouldn't expect much else to have been touched.... judging from the trailer released, i still see that the lag and some stiffness is presence, so for me those videos they release show-casing the no ball warp and physic rendering means nothin when it performs different in-game (which is the area that killed elite 11 and live 13) EA problems seems to come when putting all these 'so called innovative features into a 5- on- 5 basketball, thats where is all seems to fall apart... I hope they finally figured it out, but judging from the trailer, i think some of those major issues that killed elite 11 and live 13 are still present... If they totally rebuilt the engine from the ground up for next gen, then why are these issues still present... I personally believe they might have built a new code, but still took parts of current gen tech that they had, tried to revamp it and rename it... thus giving us what we see today... a new coat of paint, but the same old car (just my personal opinion until I see 5- on -5)

# 259 Sundown @ 09/21/13 09:59 AM

New images aren't impressive. A lot can be fixed just by making their heads a tiny bit bigger and necks shorter, or at least rigged so they look more craned forward.

Lighting on skin is overdone-- too harsh, cartoony, and plasticky-- but very well done on the clothing.

And Lillard's left hand is a disaster.

Huh? The Executive Producer:

"I have quite a history with EA SPORTS basketball games over the last decade. I worked on a number of NBA and NCAA basketball games at EA SPORTS before leaving in 2010 to pursue another opportunity after being the senior producer on NBA LIVE 10, our highest rated gen-3 basketball game. When approached last fall about bringing back this great franchise, I had mixed emotions. Due to my passion and love for NBA LIVE and my desire to deliver a new legacy for the franchise, I decided to listen."

And:

"Ryan Santos is a Senior Designer on NBA Live 14 and has previously worked on NBA Live between 2000 and 2005. In addition, he worked on NBA Street Volume 3, NBA Street Homecourt and NBA Live 2010 while most recently working on digital Jordan Campaigns before rejoining the team at EA for this project."
