They player movement is taken straight from that joke of a game NBA Elite 13. I didn't see any player emotion in Live. The A. I. In Live is once again a joke. In the clip with Nash where he's screened and dribbles down the lane, there is no reaction from the defender to intercept the lane and interrupt nashes shot towards the hoop. All NBA Live 14 is, is a slight beefed up port of NBA Elite. Most of the code derives itself from Elite. I wish they could start from scratch, but unfortunately that would take them years and years to do. I will never ever purchase an NBA game from EA sports again. They're a joke of a company. The best I will ever do is rent their sports games, and that is it.
Wow... you sure can extrapolate a lot out of a limited, zoomed in trailer

I agree 2k looks nice, and yes even better than Live in some ways. But to say anything about the relative guts of the two games based on these produced videos is a bit... reaching.

Give Live a chance... we all win if there are two successful developers out there!

Gotta start somewhere though, keep trying EA.
Yep, just went and switched my pre-order to 2K14. I was hoping Live would come back strong, but after what I saw today, I'm not impressed. It doesn't look next gen at all. The 2K14 trailer absolutely blew me away.

Forgive me for not reading through the 450+ comments (so this has probably been expressed), but I've watched this multiple times trying to reconcile this trailer with what I thought were reasonable standards for next gen.

Everything is so rigid and disjointed. It's like the lower body, upper body, and head are captured separately, making for pretty realistic robots, but terrible basketball players.

Either that, or EA went to a park and got a bunch of old dudes to mo-cap for them because, at best, the base animations look like amateurs to mimic some signature moves (awkward and disjointed).

If this were a true first effort then I'd be less disappointed.

It might be good "sim" gameplay... we don't know yet, and frankly I don't think there is any way to tell if either game is "sim" from these two trailers. Graphics and animations have nothing (or at least very little) to do with "sim" as I understand it.

Well, depends on how one thinks of this. Live has always been the pick and play basketball game with 2K always being considered the complicated basketball controls. Live 10 was a fun game, and in my opinion was better than 2K10. If this game is fun, then that's justified, if it's not fun (ex. Elite) then that's where no likes it.

2k is way better, this being said I liked the video, I love the fact that live is back even though we already see things that have to be improved only in this short trailer. The graphics are all right, 2k trailer is literally amazing and that's why when just can't get too exicted about this one but at the end of the day everyone should be happy with the new way easports is approaching their basketball game, this game will be sick in 2-3 years.

Agreed. Well put.

I'm tired of 2ks cheese online. Maybe Live will actually require you to know the game of basketball. I think we can all. Agree, 2k has the worst online bugs and cheese play in the universe.

looks better that I expected. crazy how many ppl have opinions on something they have not played. your minds were already made up before you saw the trailer. get out of that mindset . hate pollutes the mind!!!!!!!!!!1
 
# 413 ccoaxum @ 10/18/13 06:17 PM
graphics wise it is hard to be like to like the graphics after see 2k video but i do remember ppl liking the graphics before 2k showed their video...just what happens..i think until we see actual gameplay and not trailers its still hard to judge how its actually going to play plus to me i can judge better when the game is in my hands..not sure about everybody else

this ^


and to me it looks like Live 10, which really isn't that bad because I liked Live 10. Still reserving judgement though.

Fifa is always the preferred choice against the competition. I actually think players move fab in FIFA

Looked just ok to me but there are three things really hurting this trailer...

1) Of course is 2k's trailer which hit yesterday and was really good.

2) This being Next Gen is a bit of a problem since you have problem number one....if this was current gen I think many would be more forgiving.

3) Well since they haven't put out a game in years you would thing that they have been working on it and it should be further along than what we're seeing.

Aside from all that they have something to build on to help them get back in the game as long as they are not going the 3 year plan route then change everything up by year 3....time will tell
 
# 418 GisherJohn24 @ 10/18/13 06:27 PM
Weird to say but if Live sells well, they'll make it even better next year and get more devs to focus on it. so think about that.

Still seems it will be along the lines of NBA Live Elite with better graphics and more animations. The dribbling looks very good though. I think that the dribbling system will be the shining jewel of the game.

But as a whole I don't think it will touch NBA 2K14 on Next-Gen.
I think it looks like Live 10
