Will the controls feel like NBA Live 10?
The controls are reminiscent of LIVE 10 but much deeper.

Memory and processing power to provide more individuality to the players in-game.

I would encourage you to not judge everything off of one trailer and form your opinion once you've played the game.

We'll be announcing our ESPN talent roster shortly.
Can we practice plays at all? Can you tell us more about the specific playbooks each team has?
Every team has their own authentic playbook. We'll be updating throughout the year as coaches change their schemes.
post play. How is it in Live 14? Post play has been lost in previous bball games
We think you'll be pleasantly surprised with post play in #NBALIVE14
in the future trailers, are we going to see more gameplay on the defensive side is the ball?
It's tough to showcase defense and four-man rotations in a highlight video but we'll do our best moving forward.
overall ...was the response to the trailer expected ?
We realize we have to prove ourselves & one trailer won't do that. I think the more you see, the more you'll like.
Passing and AI awareness have you guys been improving in that area
We give you more manual control with passing than we ever have.
I can't wait im glad EA is back & better than ever.
I think you guys will really enjoy using your favorite players' Signature Styles. Different moves, speeds, and reactions.
will there be different alley animations
Yes.
PF and Centers that don't shoot 3s, will they be more around the rim instead of being at the 3pt line?
Yes, player tendencies driven by advanced analytics will dictate player behavior on the court.
the in-game fans in 2K suck thats something you guys always had better will you still keep that a high level like previous yrs?
Yup, we put a great amount of focus into what our crowds look like and their behavior in each unique arena setting.
We wanted to focus this week on gameplay as it seems that's what you guys want to talk about. We'll share UT next week.
