    for a sports game on its own, and not comparing it to 2k. Live14 is a decent game. player models are not bad. the display and presentation are great, they are solid in both areas. the addition of jalen rose is great. i love that. the best of series against friends is a decent idea. i love the trails or challenges that they have in the game. its a quick and easy way to kill a few min whenfor a sports game on its own, and not comparing it to 2k.

    I just played this game for about 2 hours.... Unlike the so called reviewers, if you know how to play basketball you can appreciate the game. I really like it. I wish there could be more, and there are a lot of areas it needs to get better... but dont listen to all the haters on EA. its a good game and so far the one that comes closet to actual basketball. Its worthy. Nice to haveI just played this game for about 2 hours.... Unlike the so called reviewers, if you know how to play basketball you can appreciate the game. I really like it.

    This absolute masterpiece is one of the best recreations of a basketball that I have ever witnessed. Every single little detail is perfect to reward you with a grand experience that will not be outdone easily. It outclasses NBA 2K14 with ease beautifully constructed mechanics, extreme attention to detail and an overall feel. On the hardest difficulty, it reminds me of the days of my heroThis absolute masterpiece is one of the best recreations of a basketball that I have ever witnessed. Every single little detail is perfect to reward you with a grand experience that will not be outdone easily. It outclasses NBA 2K14 with ease beautifully constructed mechanics, extreme attention to detail and an overall feel. On the hardest difficulty, it reminds me of the days of my hero Magic Johnson slugging it out on the court and shooting some truly incredible. If Magic Johnson was a game it would definitely be this one. A close contender for game of the year and most definitely Sport Simulation game of the year.… Expand

    Solid foundation of a game. Giving it a 10 as it's been overly trashed by online TROLLS. If you're a baller, you'd appreciate this work of art. Again, looking forward to this franchise returning to the scene!

    i had to give this game a 10 compared with 2k's next gen mobile game "NBA 2k14". ALL of the missing and exploited features NBA 2K14 are completely overlooked by everyone. C'mon if you bought NBA 2K14 for the 360/ps3 and then played on the next gen and was satisfied then you must not really know the 2k series well. This version game is has 50% less content than the previous generation alsoi had to give this game a 10 compared with 2k's next gen mobile game "NBA 2k14".

    Bland, lacklustre and devoid of excitement. Expect it to hit nothing but net as it lands in your local bargain bin. [January 2014, p77]

    After a four year hiatus this is definitely not the NBA game we've been expecting from EA.

    While other sports games have slam dunked new-gen, this can't stop dribbling. [Feb 2014, p.74]
