May not be able to fix all of the player colors? How many are wrong? Lol.

Lol, so by "resolved" earlier I guess he meant "we're working on it"....

It's not all about your Bucks WTF!!

but in all seriousness, there are about 3-4 completely generic guys off the top of my head...I've only seen one "wrong race" besides Wolters though

# 283 loosey101 @ 02/19/14 05:19 PM

Yeah, I should have just said Wolters but I figured they would know who I was talking about. Yeah, kinda confused on this double passing stuff. Is it fixed or not, if so, patch the game l.

# 284 jyoung @ 02/20/14 10:33 PM

I just played a game on the PS4, and all three of the newly introduced passing bugs are still there:

-- Inbound double pass
-- Point guard passback after an icon pass
-- Wonky directional passing

So if anything was "resolved" on EA's end, it definitely hasn't gone public yet on PS4.

# 285 NimaAkaJoJo @ 02/21/14 11:35 AM

rising star shows how much this game is lacking. ai, just stands and do nothing, sometimes a play won't progress because I stand near the ball handler, but aren't bodying up. charges are NEVER called.
I'm litteraly reading the offense before it happens and stand in their way. nothing is called.

I'm very frustrated right now. bugs that's been in the game, since day one hasn't been fixed. rather they've added bugs.

I'm no dev, but addressing bugs can't seriously be so hard?!

this is my basketball game for the year. ain't gonna get the other game (even tho they actually addressed and fixed a lot of things. competition is good)

but this effort of ea is kinder laughable. sure the games has some really good visions and ideas. but non of them are functioning in action.

work in progress I know, I know. but, those bugs? I seriously can't comprehend why they don't fix it!

I love the game, I do. but I want to see real issues get addressed.. and if the still will support live 14 or are moved on to 15.

I just wanna see the live series succeed, nothing else.

Im using the Wizards vs Pelicans...My lord..the difference between using John Wall and Raymond Felton

Wall cannot be stopped

# 287 mrclutch @ 02/22/14 09:33 AM

This point guard pass back glitch is horrible!!!

I just played as the Kings doing some Jimmer scoring challenge and almost every time I called for a pass it did that stupid pass back.
I can't believe I even try with this game anymore.

"It's been resolved" though, smh

# 289 loosey101 @ 02/22/14 10:45 AM

Quick update, this is what they wrote my other Facebook account.

Hey John -

Sorry for the delay man. We have our dev team working on a soultion for this now - as it still hasn't been completely resolved. Apologies for the miscommunication.

As soon as we have more details around a fix, we will get back with you. We appreciate you patience and understanding.

Hope this patch this soon...

# 290 sportyguyfl31 @ 02/22/14 11:23 AM

I just wish that the game wasn't so Bi-Polar.

I played todays Kings-Celtics matchups using SAC. I controlled Cousins or my C on Defense and used coach settings for everyone else. Outside of the known CPU T.O. issue the game was a fun,close game that came down to the final minute. The CPU hardly had any animation wonks, none of my called sets aborted, I could pass who I wanted to. It's those kind of games that keep me playing

But then you'll have these games where the CPU gets in its own way, your play art vanishes, your controls wont respond, X button passing betrays you, your off ball teammates do things that don't make sense and the CPU turns into cheating whores.

The game just needs to be more crisp. Plays need to flow better, user control is much better pre patch, but the transition animations need to flow better..drop steps and up and under moves are too slow, and plays can take too long to get going.

# 291 shutdown10 @ 02/22/14 11:38 AM

It is what it is with this game. The title update has come out for this game, so people should not expect for them to improve this game anymore. They just need to focus on Live 15, and hope they don't screw that up like they did this game. The game has not even cracked past the 150,000 copies sold so far,and I doubt they get to 200,000 copies sold by the end of the NBA season. Their reputation is damaged, so they have to be serious from this point out.

# 292 thatdudetoo @ 02/22/14 06:28 PM

I disagree a little. I think if they can polish this game up before the playoffs it would go a long way.

# 293 Mintsa @ 02/22/14 07:56 PM

I might have a used copy of live 14 lined up tomorrow via kijiji. Does live need any kind of online code, like madden did back in ps3? Or am I good with a used copy.

Full Game with impressions commentary

# 296 Pappy Knuckles @ 02/24/14 09:43 PM

I made the mistake of renting this game hoping that it would blow me away with improvements since launch. It's still a turd.

# 297 nick_sr @ 02/25/14 10:58 PM

bought the other game today like I have done the past 4 years and I must say that live has a long way to go in terms of player movement. the player movement in the other game left me speechless.

# 298 loosey101 @ 02/26/14 03:38 PM

I watched the NBA Live 13 trailer for the first time today, holy smokes, I am even more confident that 14 is literally just a reskinned 13. I think they added in bouncetek and smoothed animations while throwing out a lot that 13 had. If I were EA, I would take that trailer down, I couldn't believe when I saw that the intro to 14 (the one with the hardwood busting up where you press start) was in the freaking 13 trailer. I have high hopes for 15, just kinda surprising that they would say they built from the ground up when they clearly used most of 13.

Edit: Actually, I just watched the gamplay video of 13, wow, that was horrible hahaha. Now I can understand some of the struggle this team has had, 14 compared to that looks great, animations are smoother, player movement is smoother, still, I hope they bring it in 15 or I'm going to have to give up on the Live series.

All three of the passing bugs introduced in the last title update are still present. So it looks like today was just a roster update.

I played live today for the first since like the Saturday after the update, the passing bug is gone and there wasn't as many awkward animations, its playing a lot better.
