    Even without resorting the unforgiving comparison with NBA 2K14 that is enough to raise doubts on possible purchases, NBA Live 14 has many problems on its own, from the AI to the animations and so on. It could be the start of a new course for the EA Sports' basketball series, but it needs some serious overhaul.

    For my interest in something to be increased, it has to be entertaining. This is where NBA Live 14 ultimately falls short for me.

    I was impatient for the release of this game,
    After the first minutes of play I decided to return it. It felt like I was playing a ps2 game, with some ps3 graphics and a very few ps4 details, this is a lack of respect to nba live fans.
    AI was weird, some player running continuously out of the field, pg playing as PF and C playing as SF or PG, there was a mess over there.
    This game needs a couple of years of development in order to reach a decent level.
    Comparing with 2k14, well there“s no comparison. No need to continue with this.. I just hope nba live survives so it can give us a good nextgen game in a couple of years, until then 2k seems untouchable
