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]

Pure trash. EA you perform like trash when you have a competitor. People, don't invest anything into this **** **** stick with NBA LIVE 10. This game's gameplay, mechanics, animations, and it's unplayable. This is one of the worst PS4 games made.

NBA live 14 was suppose to be this game, that was suppose to dominate 2k14. (Which people always say when NBA live comes out, but it never happens) NBA live 14, took 2 years to create, and it was put on next gen. Then everyone starts buying it thinking it's the new 2k. And come to find out it's the same garbage with better graphics, that we were given in 2011.

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 also you have to pay for every little thing you want to put on your myplayer, even your contract shoe.

The problem is justifying an NBA Live 14 purchase when NBA 2K14 is on store shelves. As a newbie, I had fun with NBA 2k14, but I didn’t have nearly as much fun with NBA Live 14.

NBA Live 14 isn’t a broken or unplayable game, it’s just not in the same league as the 2K series yet.

NBA Live’s flaccid return is made all the more disappointing because we waited three years for it. After all that time, NBA Live 14 in no way advances the basketball sim genre and, worse, leaves little to be optimistic about for next year.

As it stands, Live 14 feels like something they cobbled together in about a year. Not for one second do you get the impression EA has harnessed the three-year time-out in any meaningful way. No wonder Kyrie Irving is making a grumpy face on the box of this.

Its a shame that the core basketball game still feels like it needs another couple of years of polish to even come close to its competitors. For now we are left with a solid lineup of features and a game of basketball thats just not worth anyones time.

This game is not very much fun in any facet of its execution, and the supporting modes don't make the crappy basketball-playing any better.

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 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.

Overall the gameplay is ok for me. Its difficult to play hero ball. Good ball movement and good defensive rotations are rewarded. What bugs me about this game is the AI in fantasy draft. I play teams with Steve Nash as center and Marcin Gortat as point guard. And Steve Nash can score from a standing position in the paint against Andre Drummond and Omar Asik. And Marcin Gortat won't turn the ball over even with immense pressure from Trevor Ariza and Russell Westbrook. Oh and the updates takes quite a while to download on 1Mbps. And you can't play while the game is updated.

Better not listen to the troll reviews. Truth be told, I hated this game at launch and wanted to return it to the game store. I'm now glad I didn't. Since then, EA has made some tweaks and little patches here and there. The game is not that bad now and I'm glad I actually kept it. The pick and roll feels and works great. You have to have your A game to play NBA Live. It still has issues, post game is difficult to stop and the animations here and there can be herky jerky. But EA has kept their word of keeping it constantly updated and a big patch to address serious gameplay and graphics is fourthcoming. Looking forward to this. If you're wanting a nice second option, give NBA Live 14 a play. I wouldnt judge by the demo, as that has not been patched.

This is far from a next-gen video game. The mechanics are atrocious. The graphics are on par with Madden 2008. NBA2K 14 has it's issues, but at least the entire game itself isn't the issue. Avoid NBA Live 14 at all costs.
