It's been confirmed.

Well, done and done. So much for Live this year. Will never understand why in 2014 a sports game would ship without sliders.

But that's just my opinion so it doesn't really matter. One thing Live did do tho was push 2k to make the best game possible. Always good to have competition

Exactly. Does it look better than Live 14? Yes, but it's supposed to lol. I find it hilarious how EA has lowered the bar so low for themselves that people are clamoring for them to just put out a decent product. So because EA can't seem to make a solid basketball game for the life of them they automatically get this sympathy card from people? I just don't get it. I get tired of hearing "Live doesn't have to compete they just have to make a decent game" or "they're making strides in the right direction" smh. Man bump all that nonsense! How many years are we gonna give this company to get their act together? It's been 5 YEARS since they released a decent basketball game! 5 YEARS! The truth of the matter is they ARE in competition with 2K no matter how anyone wants to slice it. It's easy for us to say "It's ok EA just put out a game you can be proud of" when it's not our $ being invested ol. EA has shareholders they have to answer to. Bottom line is this game has to sell in order for this series to have a future. EA knows this hence the delay til Oct 28th.

I personally think the 9 lives (no pun intended lol) NBA Live seems to have has more to do with us just wanting so badly to have 2 basketball games to choose from being that every other sport (with the exception of Soccer) has lost all competition. People are just desperate for competition. That doesn't mean EA should get a pass. They've had long enough to get it together. Enough is enough. They need to be judged according to 2014 Next Gen sports game standards not I just hope it's better than Live 10 standards.

Sorry for the rant but I speak out of disappointment because I grew up Live

I like what I see from the videos because they're a big improvement from Live 14 in just about every way in my opinion. All EA has to do is put out an enjoyable, playable, respectable game. Everyone, including EA, knows they won't top 2K at this stage, so manage your expectations people. This clearly needs some polish though, and that's what they say they're going to add by delaying the game. Cool with me! It's only three weeks. Def need sliders though as every sports game should have.

I see this completely different. I don't know why on a new gen system in 2014 why we would need sliders in the 1st place. Difficultly levels ok game speed ok. Sliders to control 3pointer made or layups is some thing IMO that should be determined by the players stats with the situation to be realistic.

Can't front, that looked solid. Faaarrr better than how the game looked when playing the 14 demo. I got a lil excited with those clips....however, sup wit those damn paddle hands, EA???? Can never get rid of them. Otherwise, kudos. I really look forward to a demo.

# 187 TreyIM2 @ 09/08/14 09:11 PM

Oh, as for the delay, just a couple more weeks and I never get upset about game delays when I know they get more time to 'improve' a game. Basically this two weeks delays going gold for a tad more polish.

Are you serious? Then this game isnt even a rental for me. I dont trust EA or any developer to get the game realistic enough without sliders.

# 189 youvalss @ 09/08/14 09:13 PM

I guess, even if the gameplay is solid, there will still be the concern of not having sliders. Too bad, because it just adds another layer of potential problems. I'd love it if it were great for my taste out of the box, but if it's not, there's a problem here.

# 190 shutdown10 @ 09/08/14 09:13 PM

What kind of investment do you guys think they need to do away with the current engine that makes those animations move like that?

# 191 sportyguyfl31 @ 09/08/14 09:15 PM

One day it's "The game shouldn't need sliders. It should play right, out of the box." The next it's "How can a game not have sliders?"

Just telling you what they said, which I know doesn't seem to make sense but that was their words. Im surprised people still don't know..they said this some time ago.

To be fair, dudes have been keeping up these "either or" wars long before we as sports gamers got the shaft from every game developer and sports league in the world by committing mass murder on every genre of sport.

When has the gameplay of ANY game been solid enough to not need sliders. I love The Show series and think its great out the box...but it still needs sliders. This game doesnt even have the track record of the Show so it definitely needs it. Live 14 wouldve been somewhat playable with sliders imo.

Sliders are needed because everyone doesnt see "realistic" as the same. I may be happy with the offensive rebounding in 2k out the box but you may think it happens too often and want to tweak it. I may want a game where players are more willing to go for dunks in traffic...u may think thats unrealistic.

Thats why sliders are needed in every sports game.

# 197 willh313 @ 09/08/14 09:25 PM

This doesn't look bad though they are at least making some progress......still getting 2K though

Its sad that you even have to explain this in 2014

Weak.

Live 14 may have been ugly as sin, but a good slider set would've gone a long way towards fixing some of the flaws that made it unplayable. Sorry, but I have zero faith that 15 is going to play an authentic game out of the box.
