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.

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."

I am talking about the team as a whole. And you know this. But I'm sure you knew that. The team has little experience, but you can convince yourself otherwise if you choose. The engineers, artists, and designers.

You made it sound like they've never worked on a basketball game before. Little experience? Did you read what I just posted? The principal people working on the game have lots of experience combined with EA's already proven technology.

And since they are ONLY working on next-gen they are definitely getting more experience on that platform than 2K can.

Proven technology? There a working EA Sports basketball game from the last four years with the stuff they're using now we don't know about?

Seriously what is with this delusion that somehow Live has the edge on next generation over 2k, where is your source within EA and 2k. Some of you have to get it through your heads that Live has not had the edge on 2k for 7 years and while 2k has been refining their gameplay and learning from current gen Live has not been seen since 2010-2011. Both companies released trailers, 2k at E3 months ago and Live recently and still the 2k game trailer showed me alot more evolution from current gen to next, Live still has that out of proportion shinny bodies they always have, yes dribbling looked good, and they like to remind us how much they work on dribbling, but there is more to basketball than dribbling EA has alot to prove and that 50 Second spliced trailer did help those of the Fence.

# 265 Goffs @ 09/21/13 01:39 PM

Yeah I don't get that logic at all thinking that 2k is behind in the next gen tech. I'm betting 2k will have more gameplay footage of next gen compared to EA.

I was PRETTY clear on what I meant and you posting 2 out of maybe 120 names, even if they are very influential names, doesn't dilute my point. Basically you're saying that Bill Belicheat can take the Oakland Raiders to the Super Bowl. Sean O'Brien might be solid, but he's not a designer, artists, engineer, or anywhere near the trenches where the game is brought home. And did you forget that they had NO team there for a year? Where do you think most of that staff came from? A witch's cauldron? But believe what you want. My point stands.

Proven where exactly? No one knows exactly what Ignite is! You're feeding into nothing but hype. The tech in Madden and FIFA is good, but buggy as all hell. But no one knows how that will translate to a basketball game. And making the assumption that VC isn't figuring out the gen8 consoles as fast as any other developer is ignorant. BTW, did you forget that Tiburon lost a few VERY experienced and good engineers a couple of years ago?

My opinion alot of people saying live is back due to the 7 sec clip and the graphics and i really would never ever say live is back due to they past. Same happen with nba live 10 everyone hyped up saying it was back and everything as soon as the game dropped it was a complete fail. Yes live is next-gen and all but i still have a strong feeling its going to be robotic and janky stiff body box movements with the arcade feel and my advice just dont say live is back untill you played the demo

2k has two teams, one of which is devoted to next gen.

They also have infinitely more experience working on basketball games.

It also looks like there's plenty of crossover for the guys on current gen whose work applies to both (such as gameplay and control), and there's almost no work being done on current gen in areas like graphics that would divert resources from next gen.

Working on a next gen platform doesn't magically make games better. And 2K having a good basketball game to build on moving to next gen is an infinitely greater advantage than whatever's gained from ignoring current gen while starting from scratch or from code of the failures that were Live/Elite 11-13.

It's good that Live has a basketball guy in charge, but the last time Live was any good, Mike Wang of 2K lead the project, so 2K has the advantage there too.

The biggest advantage over anything you said is money. Is it 2 teams splitted up of the team they all ready had? If so thats not a advantage. EA has a team working on the ignite engine alone and a whole team working only on nextgen. Only thing 2k has a advantage on is they had a better game period.

If we base anything off of the past then I guess its safe to say 2k nextgen will be a port.

Not sure I'm following you on that. EA's biggest advantage is money? How's that different from any other year?

# 274 LingeringRegime @ 09/21/13 05:52 PM

I love this thread.

Everyone is so feisty.

I hope that EA will show something good this week. I am looking for a reason to switch.

I explained why splitting into two teams doesn't hurt 2K. Much of the current gen stuff can be folded into the other game or vice versa.

Money and tech by itself doesn't solve problems. Experience, vision, and talent do, and 2K has that in spades. 2K has the better game because it's developers have been the better developers with the better vision under the better leadership-- proven developers that have a great code base who can execute.

That is the biggest advantage of all.

From the latest screenshots and videos, it also looks like 2K has the better artists as far as player models go as well.

This might or might not all shift years down the line but thinking Live has any developmental advantage other than being able to leverage Ignite is wishful EA fanboy thinking or a misunderstanding of how game and software development works.

Smh so I shouldn't expect nothing but a graphics upgrade and a few new animations from 2k ha?

# 277 knick9 @ 09/21/13 10:54 PM

Of course Live will have flaws, 2K has flaws every year, every game does. I mean, 2K released a basketball game last year with unblockable dunks...and how long have they been making basketball games??? That's like a football game making it impossible to cause a fumble in the red zone, just inexcusable. The bar for Live isn't nearly as high as people want you to believe.

Nice way to twist what I said.

Let's turn it around on Live-- so I shouldn't expect anything more than an extended dribbling demo with all the terrible gameplay of Live 11-13 and a few good parts of Live 10?

Honestly I'd be happy with improved 2k current gen with a massive graphics overhaul. It'll likely still be a better game than Live this iteration.

Live might put out a mediocre to decent game this year and that would be a huge thing getting the franchise off it's feet, but I really don't understand certain Live "fans" (what they fans of, the brand? Certainly not the nonexistent games) and their willingness to take things on blind faith when it comes to all things EA and not extend 2k the same.

As customers, WE don't have to make peace with anything. It behooves us to be cautious and skeptical given EA's past record and developmental realties.

There's another saying that goes, "Fool me once, shame on you. Fool me twice, shame on me. Fool me three times-- is that you EA?"

# 279 m1ke_nyc @ 09/21/13 11:55 PM

All I want from Live this year is for it to be a decent game focusing on Sim gameplay and the fundamentals. I'm not expecting to be wowed, I'm not expecting some great next gen game. If this team lays out a good foundation and sticks to the plan I will support them. I know for a fact it won't be as good as the other game this year. I'm not gonna sit here and nit pick every little bit of info we get about live either. They haven't released a game in 4 years. As far as I'm concerned its a success if the game makes it to store shelves. Live hit rock bottom, its gonna be growing pains coming back. Not every screen shot will look good, not every animation will be smooth. And I'm not making excuses I'm just telling it like it is.

You shouldn't expect too much from any game then huh
