Bottom-line, this game could rival any game made back in the late 90s early 2000. But, in our day and time, this is a Wii game or generic PC game which you should be able to buy while waiting in line at Walmart, right next to the candy. EA should once again exit the market and spend more time on trying to make a real to life Football game.
Just my two cents.

Why:

1: NBA 2K commentary is SO REPETITIVE. I've heard the same boring stuff for years. Even though the commentary on 2K14 is mostly new, after you play 1 game with a team they say the same exact stuff about the team. The commentary on Live may need a little polishing, but it's new, fresh, and it sounds like they comment a little more on the gameplay vs talking about the same thing over and over.

2: Gameplay. Overall I hate how NBA 2k feels when I play it. It just has a bad feel. You don't have full control. When someone tries to steal the ball you can lose control for 2-3 seconds with goofy animations.

3: Footwork/looks: 2K players constantly shuffle their feet. They move in multiple directions like an adhd kid.

4: Speed. NBA Live has the PERFECT speed. NBA 2k speeds up their games to make them more exciting and to get better marketing, but it's very unrealistic as far as speed is concerned. Live is the perfect speed.

2K seems like a little bit of a better game with way better graphics. BUT I'm SO TIRED of the SAME problems with 2K. It has played the same for the last 3-4 years and people are content with it, but I hate that. And the repetitive commentary with the same annoying voices has driven me from enjoyment of the game.

I think Ea should patch some of these problems away with gameplay. Yeah, I admit some of the shooting and passing motions are a little weird. But at least the players move like they should and overall the game plays well. Some tweaks could make this a great game.

Once those tweaks are made it's gameplay and presentation vs graphics. And I'll take gameplay all day.

My 2 cents.
I would recomend playing both games before deciding on one over the other. Go to a local red box and see if you can rent them. I have played 2k for ps4 and it is definitely the best controlled 2k yet. With that said it isn't a drastic difference from cg. Same control schene, some animations are the same but its just a tighter and more fluid feel.

Also I don't see live staying at $60 for long. 2k is getting a lot of praise, the pre-release impressions of live are average, and i would imagine 2k is going to sell better in the first couple of weeks. Dont be surprised if you start seeing live on sale within the next couple of weeks.

Lastly why are you so critical of 2k but so forgiving to live? 2k is not flawless by any means but they have done a damn good job over the years where as EA hasn't been able produce a product for the past 3 years. Its good to have competition back and I'm glad to have another option for a basketball game but just because its a different experience does not mean it will be a good one. I'm lookIng forward to checking out the demo tomorrow but I'm gna keep my expectations realistic and maybe ill end up being surprised.

You don't see centers pulling up for 3s but we have the Suns running their entire offense through Okafor in the 3rd quarter. UConn didn't even do that..... Lol

Which is why I believe DNA hasn't been fully implemented yet. If that happens after the 25th, I would have a problem with that.

I fully expect that to change, though, once DNA is updated.

Also for Live not to have gone all out online is astounding. No online leagues at all? Just head to head games?

The graphics look like a ps3 game. I am not impressed with this game. Hopefully next year they will make the graphics pop.

Honestly, i watched these videos and i was trying not to laugh. There is a laundry list of things wrong with this game. The graphics are beyond poor. The animations are poor. The commentary is poor but the best part about this game is where the players stand around doing nothing. I'm not even a huge basketball fan but this is embarrassing. I purchased 2k and it seems like i made the right choice.

I feel crazy for thinking, "It doesn't look that bad."

I mean, it's not making me rethink my plan to get 2K, and I wouldn't pay $60 for it; but at a cheaper price down the line as a 'pop it in every once in a while' change of pace type of game? I can see myself doing that.

This is exactly what I was thinking.

I played a lot of Live in the 90's, and this game actually reminds me of the late 90's ps1 era. Obviously it looks better in graphics and gameplay, but a lot of it looks the same really. Specially if you watch this in a low resolution. I just couldn't get into this game if I had to.

I guess we know why they weren't releasing any in-game footage!
This is a joke right?

This looks like beta NBA Live 10 footage. SMH @ EA on this.

Brand recognition still works on some people. That iconic "EA" logo sells games just by itself. you could slap that EA logo on the worst game, and it will sell a few copies - there's always going to be a certain number of people who will buy it just based on the logo on the box. sad, but true.

for some reason, that EA logo still means something to a lot of people. even though EA has a tarnished reputation since it's heyday, there are people who will support EA to the grave because they're still riding the EA hype left over from the 90's. it's not the 90's anymore, people. time to move on.

I watched 2 minutes of the 1st video... And all I have to say is WOW, that game looks and sounds like complete garbage...

Quick, EA, get on the phone and see if the NBA will sell you their exclusive licensing rights, cuz, I'm here to tell you that's the only way your going to dethrone NBA 2K
 
# 176 LingeringRegime @ 11/19/13 02:39 PM
Wow. I am stunned at how bad this really is. The Wang Curse is real.
 
# 177 tril @ 11/19/13 06:09 PM
all these comments about folks seeing positive things, is suspect to me. I think its a case of people having 2k fatigue. Id bet alot of these folks are looking for something different. This game IMO just looks bad.
EA just needs to make a 5 on5 arcade style basketball game. Too much time has passed by-they should have had this game polished and ready to go. 3/4 years is more than enough time.
I feel bad for the EA teman that has worked on this game. there will be alot of people getting their pink slips-barring a miracle. and taht miracle being they actually sell well.
EA can out advertise 2k, so they could sell well.
but again this looks bad to me

I agree 100%. I have NO idea what people are seeing when they look at these videos. The game moves and looks like a complete joke. Even if this was released on ps3/360 it would be a sub-par nba game. The fact that this was actually released on next gen consoles is so ridiculous that i think it may be a practical joke or a very expensive troll job by ea.

When I look at the positivity here, and the way people pick apart 2k (some people are even bashing nba 2k14's graphics) I 'm beginning to think i'm in the freaking twilight zone.

But..but..Synergy!!!! DNA updates the whole season!!!!!!Aaaaah!!!

I'll def try the demo. But it looks, both graphically and gameplay wise, nothing like that which was advertised by EA.
