The last good Live was 2003 with Jason Kidd on the cover. After that they started phoning the game in and made it into an arcade game, while 2K actually kept improving their game to make it actually a real basketball sim. Live got so cartoonish and jokey letting you shoot 3s from half court every time down the floor that people stopped playing it. I dont trust EA to make a good basketball game ever again after ruining Live.

Also, GS needs to get some actual sports gaming fans to review and talk about sports games with some semblance of knowledge of the sports they are talking about.

EA is just three year behind 2k. I really want 2k take another crack on NHL game. I love hockey and really want to play good NHL hockey game, but EA just puts out one new game every console generation, because there is no competition. And 2k really missed another great opportunity to make next-gen NHL game for PS4 and Xbone now that EA are just ignoring this year on next-gen consoles when it comes to NHL. There's port of Madden, Fifa and NBA, but no NHL. 2k had great chance here to come back. But no. No next-gen hockey untill next year. God I hate EA.

@limelight022 It's probably your computer. I have no problems on my kick ass desktop PC, but when I'm on my slow laptop it's really choppy and slow.

I havent played an NBA game for like 8 years but daamn I might do that again after seeing 2k14.

But before I do that how does the game look and perform on PC? cuz developers for some reason use crappier engines on the pc unlike Consoles Thx. :)


And please 2k make a FIFA game i beg you!! so tired of seeing PES ruin themselves each year and EA selling the same game over and over.

@AzNoLiMiT Exactly! Stupid Greedy NFL. I think I would still rather play NFL 2k on a dreamcast than any Madden.

Thanks EA, for making sure that NBA2K doesn't hold a monopoly on basketball games.

If not for this reason, I don't even understand why it's there.

comparing 2k and Live is dumbest shit I ever heard in my life....why would NBA live be like 2k if their two totally different games....That's like saying WCW and WWF/E need have the same matches, products and pay-per views at the same time at the same place

@honeycomb06 Comparing NBA 2k and NBA Live is probably the most valid comparison there could be lol! I don't think I've every seen a worse argument... even in forums like this one. NBA 2k is a basketball sim, NBA live is a basketball sim, both are on the same consoles, both use NBA licensing, both are trying to replicate actual NBA play in the most authentic and realistic way possible. 2k is far superior in every aspect. It is certainly fair to compare them side-by-side, but when it comes to the best basketball sim... there's no comparison (see what I did there). PS... NBA Jam is an arcade game, not a basketball sim lol

@honeycomb06 How the **** is one NBA game totally different from another NBA game. Of course the comparison is warranted you stupid ****. If they made a WWE game and a WCW game of course they would be compared to see which is more realist than the other. NBA Live was cancelled for 2 years because they couldn't compete with 2K. They even changed the name to NBA Elite and scrapped it because it looked inferior. EA should just give up

@2Black2Strong @honeycomb06 dude you sound mad about every comment I post.......and kmsl u seriously need to school yourself on what a true comparison is.....EA had already said that they was not tryna compete with 2k they just wanted see how fans would accept their game,,,,,NBA live and NBA 2k has always been different for years jus like any other basketball game.....and what's funny about your comment is you don't see people comparing NBA 2k to NBA jam even though it's still a basketball game but people understand and know the difference between the 2.......another stupid Idea Is comparing WCW to WWF I mean it's both wrestling it's not gonna be that much different about it beside the fact that one will be favored more over the other...because that's by choice.......EA not forcing nobody ro like their game they brought NBA Live back to show their loyalty to the people who supported them thru out the years

@honeycomb06 WTF did you just type? For the record, Madden got the NFL license because it was up for sale and they had deeper pockets. You cant buy anything that's not for sale idiot. Why do you think they didn't buy the NBA license...BECAUSE IT WASNT FOR SALE. Read before you post. They said this shit like 6 years ago. The NBA never sold their license because they believe in free enterprise. MLB sold to 2K in case you didn't know genius

I really wish 2K could make NFL game again, but there may be hope since EA was rule guilty of a monopoly they may have to relinquish there exclusive NFL rights. I know that they had to refund money to those you signed the paper work, but as to the extent of how far the ruling go I have no clue.

@BigBossWato They can and they will. EA no longer has the rights to NCAA or AFL any longer. College and Arena are wide open. I don't think the NFL will renew

Echh, Uncanny Valley all over the place... I don't care how close to realism it is, it would be kind of painful to play 2k14 for hours on end with that creepiness. Hopefully in a couple years we'll be out of the valley.

@spikepigeo Good luck living that long Spike. There is an infinite space between the uncanny valley and pure realism. It's just like Absolute Zero...they can get close...closer...within millionths of a degree, but it's still not out of that, "is it really absolute zero?" stage. It's the same with graphics. Oh they'll get better, but they'll never stop making you sick. Not until we have quantum computed games...and that's at least 50 years away. Sorry bro!

We all need to hope and pray the NFL comes to there senses and dumps that EA exclusive deal. I played Madden alot this season BUT it really isn't that different than the Madden's from the last five years. The caption video that was suppose to be live game action at the 360 release show was a complete and udder lie. 06 Madden was nice but for some reason they couldn't capitalize on it's graphical king status. So here we go to Live. Who in there right mind signed off on thisgarbage. This thing could have ran on the ps3! Though I was always partial to Live feeling 2k to being too slow and mechanical I really feel there will be no consumer any longer that will buy this thing again. Unless they do some of that 2k5 19.99 marketing that stormed the market back then. Right now there is nothing that has came out that makes me want to buy next gen. So what you get a little more bells and whistles when I watch this video I see no real difference that makes me want to spend 400 dollars. Then you put 720p all over the ONE it makes it really that much of a reach. I'll stck to playing graphical powerhouses Dirt 2 and 3, Uncharted 2 and 3, Bioshock Infinite and Last of Us and all of you slappies can waste your money on this crap. That's exactly what the sh*t that has came out is, re-packaged crap! The blue light of death and 720p upscaled to 1080p..NO THANKS..I'll pass until a price drop!!!

@sixerjones Wow dude...buying a $1000 PC for $400 isn't a bad deal. Bugs or not. They will be fixed, and it'll still be a good deal. You'll even say it's a good deal when you get it, and you'll wish you would have gotten it earlier. You're gonna miss out because you're judging the Ps4 before you've even played it. Streamers online can't handle the 60fps that Ps4 games run in. Believe me when I say it looks SO much better in person.

@sixerjones Price isn't going to drop for at LEAST a year. Sony stated that there will be a longer wait in between price drops this time around. Probably because they need to make a little profit this gen...lol.

2k looks better than Live by miles (and better than pretty much any next-gen game) but it is still limited regarding the (extreme lack of) variety of player models and it somehow continues to lose "things" it had on PS2-PS3. AI sucks on both, although on Live post play actually exists and players perform better on their own. The 2k AI gameplay problems are very longstanding but yet to be addressed. Funnily it gets completely overlooked year after year by reviewers but not by proper players. Kevin Durant sucks on 2k (Jeremy Lamb is the Kevin Durant for OKC in the game).

Another year to skip on sports games.

As always EA have f**ked up another game. It is the turn of a DEAD franchise to look even hopeless after having been revived. NBA LIVE 14 blows. NBA 2k14 is light years better than this piece of garbage. Not just from a graphical stand point; game play, realism, authenticity you name it NBA 2K 14 has it.
