Its honestly embarrassing to call this next gen and I know people say ''Gameplay over graphics'' but even the gameplay is shit ...oh ea you fucked up so much again :/
EA please terminate your contracts with all sports licenses. You are destroying all of the franchises that many people play, and for my case used to play. If you can give us such a cheap basketball game, imagine what other companies could have done with American Football and Soccer, in terms of game development. EA go home....
This looks awful and i'm not even a basketball fan, but in all honesty if 2K can be so good for basketball games and amazingly better then NBA Live then a 2K football/soccer game could be so much better then FIFA. Would love one.
the problem is EA has so many license that limits 2k ability to some degree and whoever said madden was good need to check there eyes that game is the samething every year with a new code of paint madden hasnt been the same since 2k stop making football games this is why competition is good
I love how everyone was like "oh nba live is gonna be so much better than 2k", I bet those people are gonna be quiet now. I could tell from the first trailer that the graphics looked awful
EA had like 4 years to make a decent basketball game and they couldn't deliver. It's complete and utter BS to release that crap on PS4. The game looks like a HD PS2 title.
GOOD!!! go with nba 2k14, TRUST ME!!! you'll get your money's worth cause Live 14 is trash as shit! waste of money, and you'll be mad as hell, so yes, go with nba 2k14
***** The only reason EA had a good madden this is is because they are losing there rights to make the only NFL Football game i mean they had years before now to improve greatly on the game but they choose not to.
EA doesn't know how to make a sports game period. Whether its basketball or football. I wonder when the NFL will realize this and allow other companies who are passionate about their product make a football game that reflects the technology we have today. This shitty basketball game which EA had like 4 years to make should serve as a clear reminder about what EA is about. 2k will destroy live this year and if they had an NFL game Maddens days would be numbered.
I think this is the end for Live, just not what it use to be. The brutal truth is that if 2K devs could make a NFL football game they would probably dominate that.
it's not even the fact of 'if you compare it to 2k' because that's just disrespectful to 2k14 for this crap to be compared to it. it's a complete no brainer. a comparison for this would be like....not even PS3/360 2k14 OR 2k13 because even THAT looks AND plays better! Like c'mon EA, you can't tell me you really thought to compete with 2k with this shit. I'm not complaining about the graphics (even though they're horrible too) but you could have AT LEAST got the game play right! Like the game play is horrible too! Trust me, I played NBA live today as well. It feels absolutely sloppy and.....just BAD. I think IGN was way too nice giving this a 4.3. I'd honestly rate this a zero. They've got nothing going for them except slight presentation improvements....
Just make a arcade street basketball gam and leave the sims to 2K we need so arcade sports games anyway. This is just embarrassing no wonder I haven't heard anything from Live lately smh
im kind of a noob in basketball... i like fifa a lot more but i want to get another ea sport game.. nba 2k its good for a noob? or you need to be an expert in the sport?
I have no idea what the heck happened-I have NBA Live 10 and its honestly one of the best game graphics I've ever seen in a sports game and it makes 2K game graphics look like they were designed by 5 year olds...NBA Live 14 on the other hand looks like it was designed by newborns and overall looks atrocious..I've always hated 2K but I actually have 2K14 now and I have to admit 2K14 is better even though I personally think the graphics are not nearly as good as Live 10.....hope EA gets it together for Live 15
I hate in madden the pop up that comes up for the quarterbacks stats glitch that happens in crucial situations and doesn't allow u to spike that shit is so annoying
i just actually downloaded the demo because i was curious to see if it really is a bad as people make out and tbh i don't think it is. obviously i also have 2k14 which is far superior however from what i can see from the demo it's a decent little game
Lol the players faces don't even have textures in some of the footage, how did this even get cleared for release, if anything should've been stuck in development hell it should've been this.
The only part I'm jealous about compared to 2k is that live has the real scoreboard you on tv and the fact they have man of the year and numbers on the boards in soundtrack
Chew on this. 2k is about 49 gigs.Live is 9 gigs. That's coming from someone who got their xbox one early and saw the early downloads.I can't believe people were waiting for this garbage.
EA needs to retire the NBA Live franchise. 4 years to work on a game and this is what they come up with? in 1 year 2k developed what is now in my opinion the most impressive looking next gen game. Live is a joke they will never be able to challenge 2k
2k8? That's because they didn't have much flexibility without the nfl license, and they hadn't made a game in 4 years so it was only natural that it was sub par.
Karlitoe Trollitoe There used to Sony but they dropped out early in the PS3's life cycle. I think the last basketball game they did was NBA '09?? As u could plainly see, its no longer with us but I am looking forward to the new MLB 14. Seen the trailer for it, Looks real good!!
I wonder where all those people who is going to say "I'm only buying LIVE to play something different, I'm tired of 2k" LMAO if that makes you feel better about wasting 60-70 bucks!!!!
I hope for 2k15 that they get the espn license. That would be great combined with the already good commentary also throw in shaq c Barkley & Clyde Frazier for the Knicks games and it would be perfect! Live has become an awful series this should be the last one.
Yeah, in all honesty they really left off from NBA Elite and made a bigger fool of themselves than they think. To think that they have this EA Ignite implementation is a bigger embarrassment from their lame cover-ups and excuses.
I still play ESPN NFL 2k5 to this day that football game was probably the greatest football game ever 2K needs to get the NFL license back and take it back from the money hungry people that is EA sports
live 07 was great back then but now its 2013 nba live 14 sucks they need to stop making plastic players and l up to their potential if they still have any
I'm tired of always seeing Ea and 2k making the sports games. There should be more developers/studios able to make basketball games or soccer games. There has to be more competition in the sports genre. It would hopefully encourage developers to work harder and overall make better games. Except for EA Sports they should just retire.
***** 2k14 next gen beats this way outta the water. better graphics better animations better gameplay better modes my career is a fucking story mode My GM mode is better than anything Live has even My Team with the cheesy 3 pointers is better than Ultimate Team
Live hasn't been a proud series since Live 04… which was back when Shaq, AI, and T-Mac still played, when Seattle had a basketball team, heck when the Miami Heat's Big 3 where all rookies! Stop embarrassing yourselves EA Sports, stick to Madden and FIFA. Great review IGN, I was laughing the entire time.
the game looks really bad, it would look bad even on last-gen, there are a lot of textures missing on their faces, their bodies feel disjointed from the head and the animations are extremely poor. how can they even release this shit?
Better basketball net? Better step up your game 2K! lol, seriously, EA needs to stop trying making basketball games and focus all their attention and creativity on Madden. Madden is in desperate need of a make-over.
EA has definitely gotten lazy and complacent over the years. Putting out the same game from years past just in a new packaging. They do this for every title they own. I hate that Madden has the only rights to NFL content because EA does not feel the need to make it better since the "hit-stick".
Yea EA makes tweaks here and there but the do not come up with better gaming experience anymore. It just seems like the changes they make could be done with an update online instead of me buying a new madden every year. (which i dont anymore)
ps yes this sucks, but honestly people they make an amazing hockey game not gonna lie to you, and 2k has never been good with hockey, they need to focus on madden and hockey and mma. leave basketball alone.
Uncle Jrue No idea what 2K's AI is like. Never played it. I wasn't making any comparison between the two anyways. But no, the AI is not getting any better in NHL. They are still too stupid to make a play, or to retrieve the puck, or do anything of use. I've played the last 4 NHL games for a good amount of time each and if anything, it's gotten worse.
Are you talking about be a pro? because I only play NHL when I can control every players. All I ask is for them to be not dumb defensively and be in good positions so I can set up plays, and so far, it is much better than last years NHL.
Uncle Jrue No, I've actually found Be a Pro better than the rest of the game in terms of AI. I mainly do Play Now or HUT, and they're both horribly stupid. That's all I ask of them too and so far, I've been terribly disappointed. Doesn't help that if they do set up a play, passing is wildly inaccurate and will often pass to the furthest guy possible. I've tried with Pass Assist on and off, and it just doesn't work the way it should.
EA has the licence when the licence is up 2k will have to push some serious coins the nfl way which i think the nfl will give right to both again in the near future because madden hasnt been the same since 2k stop making football games
This is a shame, I was thinking about picking this up with all of 2k's server problems. I guess i just have to live with MyCareer never saving and MyGM constantly crashing.
2K is years maybe even a decade ahead of EA when it comes to basketball games. Just hang it up, let ESPN and 2K make a deal and let us consumers reap the benefits.
EA should have abandoned this series long ago. Seriously at this point no one and I mean no one would pick this game over 2K. Everything on this game just defines ugly and unfinished. They couldn't even get Lebron's face right xD He looks like Frankenstein on this game.
I am praying that nba live 15 will be good. I really enjoyed nba live 10's gameplay, it was so much better than 2k's gameplay back then, but now, 2k both looks better and plays better than live...
That's sad.

God this is pathetic. PS3 graphics on a PS4. NBA Live used to be great, always used to get it every year

Aye come on guys the net ain't sega genesis
nba live 2014 = PATHETIC
AlucarD why
Shows how EA really performs when it has competition
Lol using music from 2k13 track List at the beginning hahahs nice job ign
After 4 years man....this is sad what's happened to EA smh
Wow I 100% forgot about NBA Live 14. I was waiting for a news story that they cancelled again after so many great reviews about 2k14 next gen
This was 2 years ago, time flies.
Apparently development doesn't for EA...
I honestly would by this just for Mike Breen and the espn overlay.....
ikr same thing
I'm new to basketball, but really want to get into it. I'll be getting 2k14. It's hard to watch basketball in the UK though... any advice?
GOOD!!! go with nba 2k14, TRUST ME!!! you'll get your money's worth cause Live 14 is trash as shit! waste of money, and you'll be mad as hell, so yes, go with nba 2k14
4.3 is being super nice
Can't wait to play this on my PS2.
lol
Damn, guess I'll stick to 2K.
whats up with the black keys music in the beggining?
EA should just stick to making NBA Jam games. 2K have the sim games sewn up.
They should stick to Madden and their other sports games too. They make more money off Madden then they probably ever will in NBA Live
***** The only reason EA had a good madden this is is because they are losing there rights to make the only NFL Football game i mean they had years before now to improve greatly on the game but they choose not to.
***** 2005
Speaking Of NBA Jam They Hadn't Announced Anything About NBA Jam In Months

I think you're forgetting about FIFA.
kkushalbeatzz i sure hope a new company will start making soccer or football as u prefer. im tired of ea bullshit.
kkushalbeatzz FIFA could be a lot better though
XxvoleistulxX You always have the option of playing Konami's Pro Evolution Soccer.
Vince The Prince If you think about it, just about any game can be made better. FIFA does its job fine at the moment.
I think this is the end for Live, just not what it use to be. The brutal truth is that if 2K devs could make a NFL football game they would probably dominate that.
Join up with the 2k sports team make the best basketball game. Live does have a nice presentation with the ESPN stuff. If you can't best em join em
I'm a NBA Live fan, but this games looks like it took 3 months to make instead of 3 years. #dissapointed
it's not even the fact of 'if you compare it to 2k' because that's just disrespectful to 2k14 for this crap to be compared to it. it's a complete no brainer.

Who on earth is going to buy this over 2k?? I would be surprised if it sold 100 copies.
Better basketball net? Better step up your game 2K! lol, seriously, EA needs to stop trying making basketball games and focus all their attention and creativity on Madden. Madden is in desperate need of a make-over.

Well, I guess we still won't be getting competition in this genre.
ps yes this sucks, but honestly people they make an amazing hockey game not gonna lie to you, and 2k has never been good with hockey, they need to focus on madden and hockey and mma. leave basketball alone.
"amazing" hockey game. NHL still has its fair share of issues. Namely, terrible teammate AI.
