Re: NBA Live 14 Title Update #2 Available Now, Post Your Impressions Here (PS4, Xbox
So my verdict so far:
I want to like this game because of my love for basketball, some of the things they do well, and the flaws with 2K...but I just can't really get past a few glaring issues/enjoy this game.
1) Other than the graphics (which we know about and I'm sure will be fixed to be on 2K's level next year) the gameplay is just bad in my opinion. It seems way too easy to score, the animations are terrible, and everyone seems to move so stiff. The game just doesn't seem fluid but I do think they have a good foundation to build on.
2) The input lag is AWFUL and literally ruins the game for me. I can't really play a game as it feels like a chore and is not fun at all. There is really no excuse for this especially with a "next-gen" game. (also the passing bug glitch is really bad)
3) The cameras are bad, I know I have been very vocal about this and even created a thread for it. The Baseline cams are terrible and should not have you behind the basket on defense, I can barely see where the hoop is if I try to block a shot. I can't play on the broadcast cams, I need to be able to see the whole court as if I'm playing, standing above my player, or reversed when on defense.
4) Some great features, Rising Star Mode is a great building block. There are lot of things that it does well that 2K does not. The progression system seems to be better and you get rewarded for actually playing a game. You can simulate any game which I LOVE and all of the stats/awards/standings screens work. The grading system is a bit poorly constructed in my opinion and so are the lack of attributes. Many attributes seemed to be generalized and I think need to be more specific such as 2K.
5) Ultimate Team- Awesome mode in my opinion, only a few things that I'd like to see worked on. The ratings and category breakdowns of players in this mode isn't great. There are literally so many gold players so when you buy a gold premium pack and get guaranteed gold players, more often than not it's someone who is like a 79-82 not an 86+. Maybe just add an extra tier if they are going to go this route. A lot of the players are rated way too high or low in general...why is Otto Porter an 80? Are you serious...and why is Magic Johnson only a 91? Porter should be at best a 68-69 and Magic should be a 95. Would love to hear others thoughts on this! I would like to see Live have more players or whole historic teams similar to 2K, packs are better priced in this game though. (My favorite part of this mode is that it keeps track of your record and the amount of offline games/challenges/tourneys there are)
Overall I think that Live has some great modes/features but just needs to go more detailed. I think this game was a VERY rough title that was released to remind people that they still have an NBA license and are trying for the future. I will be purchasing Live 15 because I think it will improve and there is a huge window of opportunity to win some customers back with 2K's overwhelming lack of care for its customers.
I give this game a 6.2/10Fino Alla Fine

Speaking only from the demo. My retail copy arrives today, Interior defense leaves a lot to be desired. If shots arent blocked, there isn't enough altering and changing of shots. Also there does not seem to be very many fouls called regardless of how reckless you are in contesting shots. Enough negative for now, let me get into positive. Floor spacing. Phenominal. There feels like there is room to move in the half court. While I am still getting the feel for controls, when dribbling and driving, i feel much more in control than I have in other basketball games. However I was running into an issue when trying to quickly inbound the ball, there would be a 2nd pass that I did not want. The half time show would actually be good. If Jalen Rose wasn't stumbling over his own words the whole time. I know the whole espn thing, but they could try to get Wilbon or someone who can actually speak. The game isn't great, but it isn't as terrible asome people claim. It needs some things cleaned up. And a graphical overhaul, but so far, its an ok game, doing some things well, and needing work in other areas.Comment

Re: NBA Live 14 Title Update #2 Available Now, Post Your Impressions Here (PS4, Xbox
I finally got to try the game after all the patches and I have to say that I was impressed, I love the pace of the game, the graphics and movements are much cleaner, I'm sorry for just a bug that always happens to me, that I did not see themselves schemes on the pitch in spite of put them in the options, and other small detail I do not like the choice not to include the names of the opponents when they bring the ball to rest in the light of the improvements at the time I would give it a 6, 5 sevenths me that bodes well for a great nba live 15, I apologize to everyone for my bad English, greetings from ItalyComment

Just bought the game last week and really enjoying it. Wish they had sliders for players like me who aren't that good at video games and had an easier menu layout. Overall very fun.Comment

Re: NBA Live 14 Title Update #2 Available Now, Post Your Impressions Here (PS4, Xbox
Ok thinking of trading in 2K for nba live 14, what are the pros and cons of me doing that? I feel so fed up with 2K and trying to have fun with the game but having to freakin farm VC in order to go anywhere with the game is lame. What makes NBA live so fun and ultimately worth my trade in? Ultimate team better then any team? Easier to earn stuff to buy the packs?Comment

I wouldn't say it's more fun than 2k, but "different" fun if you are open to lesser quality player models and different play style and animations. IMO, floor spacing and off ball AI are better in Live. Both have different flavors of their own "cheese"Currently playing:

Hey everyone, just wanted to let you all know OS now has an official Discord that you can join right now. We’ve kicked around Discords for individual games in the past, but it felt like the right time to make it more of an official thing.
Steve and I have wanted to get this going for a bit because we ...
