And Now it's NBA Live 14's Turn to Show Off its Next-Gen Basketballness

This game got nothing on Phil Collins.

everyone shaves their arm pit!

@the_nubster: You forgot about the music.

It doesn't have to look next-gen, it just doesn't have to look like a game from 2000 like NBA2K14 did on the PC. And it's the gameplay I'm concerned about, didn't like how 2K14 played at all.

Oh my god, look at the way defenders move. Bynum Christ, this looks terrible.

2k14 seems to be beating Live with the Sweat effects and the facial hair effects there using IMO, but either way both games look impressive.

This looks baaaaaaad

I think Live and 2K are about on par as far as dead eyes technology is concerned.

Why do they jerk around like they're attached to long pieces of elastic?

Took the words right out of my mouth. They're also still obsessed with dunks, which was something that was symptomatic of the downfall of Live - a diminishing sense of authenticity when compared to NBA 2k.

Nash looks like a slowed down version of Nick Cage.

Give it up EA, 2K have basketball, Sony have Baseball but you still have football and American football despite the latter being pretty much junk for years now. The characters just look cartoon-y in comparison to 2K14. Maybe EA could make a BASEketball game, I'd be pretty into that.

Screw the game. RUN THE JEWELS

Sigh... if anyone at EA Sports is reading this, just release this and get it over with. Don't cancel it at the last minute. Just release it and move on. Don't let this be the DNF of basketball games.

I don't even care for nor like basketball outside of NBA Jam or Street, but the folks working on NBA 2K14 look like they've put in far more soul and care into their game than this. Simulation-styled basketball games just ain't your thing, EA. GG.

Looks stiff. The movement looks unnatural. Yeah, it's probably gonna bomb.

Omg... what a waste of time and money developing this game was.. it still looks terrible. Sorry EA you need to stop.

2K14 is looking much more polished.

RUN THE FUCKIN JEWELS

They really need to work on their skin shaders. I'm kind of surprised they showed so many player close ups considering they don't look especially great. The few shots of actual gameplay looked a lot better.
