NBA Live 14 Title Update Details, Available Now For Both Xbox One and PS4

[Steve_OS]

EA Sports and the NBA Live 14 team released the first title update yesterday. Some users talked about what they saw, as we waited on the details to arrive.

Today, the team has released them.

The most important piece that we’re adding is a change to our technology around our LIVE Update system. This is the first step in our plans for NBA LIVE 14. Many of the changes in this update are things you won’t actually see – technology additions that will pave the way for the additions to come. This will allow us to update and add content such as gameplay tuning, new animations, audio and visual assets directly to you as they become available. This applies to cosmetic changes like new uniforms, shoes, accessories and so on, but also allows for ongoing gameplay and graphical improvements.

They have also tuned shooting, both online and offline, so the timing window is a little easier and cut down on the blocked jump shots on the perimeter. For those of you that had crowd audio issues in the BIG Moments, those have been corrected and they tweaked a few other things to make online games smoother. More visual improvements are on the way after the New Year.

Read more here and let us know what you are seeing.

Pretty awesome. I didn't doubt that they'd stand behind it, and continue to update as promised. For whatever reason, after playing the game, the attitude changed towards EA. Looking forward to seeing the updates in the pipeline.

I'm really seeing if they really can do updates the graphics, don't know how through a patch, guess we will have to wait and see.

Heh. We added vague "technology", adjusted shot timing windows, blocks, tweaked a camera, and wrote six paragraphs about it.

Only EA can turn a minor patch into an entire blog entry.

Impressive.



Communication is the first step. Glad to see they are trying to keep their word.

Will be interesting to see how good this new update system works.

Re: NBA Live 14 Title Update Details

Though I've noticed some of the subtle changes made to the game, reading that has me excited to see what else they're doing with this game

Yes, they were detailed-- about minor bug fixes.

The other game had like 4 pages of itemized fixes for their patch. EA needs to be showing that kind of effort in a game that needs so much help.

I suppose a content delivery system is cool, but it's not really anything to get excited about until there's actually content to deliver (we've been through this with the other game too).

maybe there werent that many glaring issues to fix? the biggest complaints ive seen about this game are the graphics and animations. so they have laid the groundwork for updating those.

I just finished the MIL @ CLE match-up on superstar/ 12 min (no accelerated) and won 104-92 as cavs. I noticed the game play seemed to flow a lot better and there wasn't a lot of dead air with the commentators like some have mentioned. I was able to draw more shooting fouls than ever before (13-20 ft) so that was nice to see. One thing I hope they work on is the lack of responsiveness with offensive rebounding..the players seem to jump way after the ball as been grabbed. Gets a bit annoying lol. Overall, It felt different and I had fun while playing sim style. The subtle changes seemed apparent which is good. Keep it coming EA.

Really cool - the toned down block shots are VERY noticeable and that makes me a very happy gamer. It also makes me feel confident that they will be able to patch the PIP issue.

Great job, EA. Live is the only game that will be getting my money next year. If you would have told me that a month ago, I would have laughed at you.

How quick we are to forget.... smh. This is why EA gets away with EVERYTHING! I still stand firm on "I will believe when I see it". EA has great trick marketing and I am not falling for it until they actually deliver.

If they have created a new LIVE update system like they have described that would be a real game changer and I hope would set an example for other EA sports titles like Madden, FIFA etc... however like I said before I will believe it when I see it.
