How To Fix NBA Live 14

10:05 AM - November 26, 2013 by RaychelSnr

If you read my review of NBA Live 14, then you should have an idea that the game's developers have a mountain of work towering above them. Even the team has acknowledged the game must be fixed, by posting an apology and promise to bring NBA Live to an acceptable level of performance and play.

Now here we are, with a specific checklist of what needs to be improved to make NBA Live 14 worth the $60 that Electronic Arts is asking basketball fans to pay.

"We're sorry it didn't live up to your expectations but it lived up to ours. Thanks for buying our game, [chuckles] supporters."

one's thing for sure. That wasn't an apology.That was just as bad as a comment as when Lebron said that he spoiled Cleveland fans with his play a few years ago. Or what the snapchat ceo said when he ripped his friend off.

There's a possibility he could be rubbing it in EA's Face for giving him and the dev team the short stick.

"We're sorry it didn't live up to your expectations but it lived up to ours. We knew this game would be **** without the allocated resources and the reg dev cycle for a launch dev game. you can thank EA for that. but since I'm contractually obligated, EA has forced us to market chicken **** as chicken salad."

You can tell devs want no blame for this. I never hear people bring up another gaming company bring up a dev cycle as a defense mechanism until this year. "We didn't have 3 years. we had 1, meaning its not their fault the game is ****. and to a degree, they have a point, but its also the industry they are in. They HAVE to produce, even in a year. To produce that, is kinda embarrassing. But as video games get more powerful, more manpower is needed for games. So I understand both sides of the coin.

Have these guys done a twitch stream yet as I would be interested to see how they play the game. Does anyone have a link?

Release NBA Live 10, call it 14 with new rosters. Id of been happy.

I think after 6-7 years if EA doesn't know how to fix their own basketball game that speaks volumes IMO.

I understand getting feedback from forum members or game changers is helpful but lets be real here this series hasn't been the same since the PS2 Days and how many ideas or opinions do they really need to help them create a basketball game that is playable for once?

That is why they hire top people in the game industry right to create good games?

If they still need ideas from message boards to finally deliver a good solid basketball on Next Gen consoles then IMO we are screwed.

It's not just NBA Live....their college game was never any good after the PS2 days basically the same sub par animations and robotic player movement they've seen in Live since 2006.

Now I don't mean to sound like a negative nancy but when is enough just enough?

Well, I think he's just saying he doesn't feel EA is capable of fixing the game.

Probalbly. Just saying the man doesn't own an engine. Some people actually think he does. It's funny, but sad at the same time.

They hired the people of their preference that really have no love for basketball and just want to make a quick buck

How they can leave robotic movements , ps2 graphics ect for a next gen console is beyond me i would be doing whatever to delay dropping the game..if at all that is

So, where is this complacency? Seems to me the facts don't support the "no competition" platform or your claims of complacency. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk HD

I consider Competition as ACTUALLY releasing a Game, not developing stages. Those are the facts, Unless you can actually see another game selling a Product, how can they truly be considered competition. Regardless my comment was made in hope that NOW with Both games Actually having products that are selling on the Market, it will push EACH company to make the best product they can. That is ALWAYS best for the Consumer.

That wasn't the point. The claim was that folks claiming 2K was getting complacent because there was no Live. As I said - outside of 2011 - when would they have been afforded that luxury? Again, when 2K11, 2K13, and now 2K14 were being developed, there WAS competition. So, the perception of complacency due to no competition is a fallacy.

Also, for the record, if competition is supposed to keep these guys on their toes, why did it not help Live up to this point? It's not as if 2K just came out in 2008? The spectre of that game, and even others, was there since 2002. Yet, EA did very little to nothing to make the evolve. At least, in my opinion.

Competition certainly cant hurt. But...maybe not. look at mlb. Even tho the Show is out there, 2ks baseball game has sucked for years. So maybe devs are just simply incapable of making a good game with or without competition. FIFA and NHL are always consistently good too and they have no competition. Its good they do because they have repeat buyers. Its scary if NBA gave up the license. Think if 2k didn't exist what NBA game would Live be right now??

I again would like to point out the unfairness of hurling stones at 2K's baseball series. For the majority of the deal, Kush games was developing the baseball series for 2K and yeah, they sucked with it, particularly in comparison to what the Show was/is doing. By the time the game got to Visual Concepts it was already too far behind to ever really catch up. You could see the improvement in the series with 2K10. Kush really ****ed that series up though.
