EA had a plan! And that plan was for "US" bball consumers to be BETA testers for NBA LIVE 15; but we pay EA $60 membership fee! LOL
I tried the DEMO, and I say tried! No matter how much problems 2k14 may have right now; NBA 2K14 is a much better, " better" experience than LIVE 14, right now! I am a sim head, and I couldn't believe the things going on in this game! (too many to list)
It's quite frightening that EA would release this game; when they had cancelled the two others prior to this release! The cancelations were sited on; " the game isn't ready, yet"!
News FLASH, this game is in its ALPHA stage! Not even a close to being finished; but the investors must have made a push for this game to come out on Next gen, and not current! The game is only 9 gigs, which would have been perfect for current gen; with 1.9 gigs download of that HD Content stuff!
EA was really reaching for something, and missed; and now they are falling fast with their LIVE series, and there isn't much they can do! Not even an "Apology" can help this train wreck!
IMO, 3.5 is much too high of a score! Something in the low 2's may be more deserving! c'mon son; this is next gen!

Re: NBA Live 14 Review (PS4/XB1)
Boiler, you were MUCH too generous regarding your impressions of Bounce-tek at E3. It's straight up terrible. The OS review says it best-- it feels like a bunch of mocaps slapped together with no fluidity. It's actually one of the worst parts of the game. Its only redeeming feature is watching some semi nice animations when you do manage to wrestle it into doing what you want to get by a defender.Countdown to zealots coming into discredit THIS review. Wow! Well, let me stave them off for a little bit while they are in their war room prepping the counter attack:
OS is just so biased! They don't play sports games. When they play, they don't play sim. They hate EA. 2K is paying them money. They care more about graphics than gameplay. Live is too much for the simpletons to handle. We need competition just to keep EA afloat...
Did I cover it all? Let's see how many have the stones to call out someone here that can defend themselves...

Re: NBA Live 14 Review (PS4/XB1)
Spot on review. I played this game over the weekend with my son. And he said and I quote. "This is a BOOTLEG game. This game looks and plays like PS2". He also said that he liked the ESPN overlays and he also liked the net. But that was it.
He's 12. We were laughing so hard playing it. Good times.Comment

I just hope EA can take the time and put the effort into it, NBA2k on the Dreamcast was a good game when it first come out, but it was no where near what NBA2k2 on the Dreamcast become, or what NBA2k14 is now, I just hope EA builds on so we can have some competition in the future, sports games as a whole in general needs it, not just basketball.
But nice review, I like that you added to what online is like, most leave that info out. Also wanted to add that I tried looking for this game at my local Walmart, they don't stock it, I looked at my local Family Video, they don't stock it either. I'm sure the sales numbers are going to be bad, and the rental numbers & rental sales will be even worse. I would of still liked to rented the game just to try it hands on no matter what the review says.Comment

Overall
Is the NBA Live series ready to regain its spot atop the virtual basketball world? No, it isn't, but the foundation has finally been laid to build the game to an elite level—no pun intended.
If the player models and animation can catch up to some of the mode innovation and presentation, this series could be great again. Here's a look at the PlayStation 4 version of the game by the numbers.
Graphics and Animation: 6.75
Gameplay and Realism: 7.75
Sound and Presentation: 9
Game Modes and Options: 8
Overall: 7.8

Re: NBA Live 14 Review (PS4/XB1)
What does the reviewer of this gaming site gain from trashing this game? The game trashes itself by playing the way it does.
OS and the people that review games aren't getting paid by 2K to write a bad review for this game, it doesn't give them joy to have a game be so mind numbingly bad, that a 3.5 score is all it could muster.
I would love to know how "trashing" this game makes the reviewer happy. I'm sure there's a lot more going on in his life where he doesn't need to rely on making up a wild review about a game and giving it a low rating.
The game is terrible, plain and simple. If you like it, that's fine, but just know that you like terrible video games. No one will fault you for that, but don't try and make it seem like people get ANYTHING out of reviewing this game in a biased manner, because that's not what the reviewer did at allComment
