Here's the Way the Ball Bounces in NBA Live 14

Revealed a month ago at E3, NBA Live 14 is the series' next-gen only re-entry into the market, and will rely on something called "BounceTek" to distinguish its gameplay as truer to life. BounceTek got a nice hype reel in Los Angeles, but now we can see a little more clearly what it means in terms of gameplay.

aCasualGamer3925d ago

They're basically showing off a comparison of a 4 year old game and a nextgen title. And it still looks the same. The way the ball get sucked in to the hand at the end of the bounce is just as NBA Live 10.

All sports games developers do the same thing, release the same game over and over again and people still buy them. Hilarious how materialistic we've become.

mafiahajeri3925d ago

I was being sarcastic... And yes basketball games are really boring its one of those sports that just don't translate we'll into games.

@mafiahajeri

You're kidding. 2k's NBA series is the highest rated, highest selling (even more than madden) sports game we have. It's honestly the only sports game that I can play year around and not get bored.

I think you'll find thats FIFA.

yea 2k series is legit.

They got it right back with College Hoops 2k8 and it's been the best basketball Franchise since then.

'Up and Down.' I just saved you 26 seconds.

HammadTheBeast3925d ago

Pretty much what they did was steal CoD's Fish A.I. and put it into a ball.

Jagsrock3925d ago

nice to see progress, I'm definitely not counting NBA live 14 out yet but they sure have a lot to prove.

BluEx6103925d ago

Hopefully they release a playable demo. 2K always release one every year, so you'll get the feeling of the game at least. Be interesting to see how they both feel and play. I remember playing NBA Live around the launch of the 360. Shooting/dunking while the game loads were pretty fun.

Jagsrock3925d ago

yea a demo would be beneficial for them especially since they have been out of the game for so long.

Majin-vegeta3925d ago

I thought it was more like this.

Jagsrock3925d ago

2k would like a word with you

That's really impressive.

Why so many updates with NBA Live 14?

When NBA Live 14 was released last November, the reviews, as stated before, weren’t flattering. Many fours and fives were given out to the franchise’s first title in four years, which didn’t sit well with the development team at EA Sports.

These low scores lead the team to realize that they couldn’t just wait until NBA Live 15 was released to address a lot of the issues. Instead, they worked countless hours to prepare gameplay and visual updates to NBA Live 14 to prove to their audience that they weren’t just in it for the money.

“We got hammered, and we didn’t like seeing the scores that were coming in,” executive producer Sean O’Brien said.

Some pretty good deals here but this is for Europe only.

djplonker3628d ago

Yeah they need to put "eu" or "na" in the title... eu didn't get those 0.99 flash sales awhile back :(

user14394143627d ago

PS Nation are here again giving the FANS what they want. XoXoXo

Pretty nice, but I got what I needed.

jacksons983627d ago

@tiqila
They had some nice deals two weeks ago for Vita during their Golden Week sale. I picked up several games Y's, Persona, Muramasa and Chrono cross.

cellur1113627d ago

They weren't that exciting.

Yi-Long3627d ago

Was thinking about picking up SoulCalibur 5, but it's not the complete version (including DLC), so I won't bother.

Other than that, I seem to have most of the stuff I would want.

Soon MS will copy the discounts too.... or do they do that already.

AceBlazer133628d ago

Think they announced it yesterday. Xblg members will now have discounts like PS+ along with the subscription model. So they don't keep their games when their gold runs out.

InMyOpinion3627d ago

I'm a happy PS4 owner now but one thing I experienced MS did better when I gamed on the 360 was their deals.

The deals for the PS4 have been meager so far, to put it nicely.

Blink_443627d ago

Why would you care if they copied Sonys strategy? It's good for consumers.

jacksons983627d ago

@InMyOpinion
I've gotten Resogun, Contrast, Don't Starve, Stick it to the Man, some other crappy game, and Outlast all free on PS4.. Don't think Xbox One owners have anything like that.

nowitzki20043627d ago

@jacksons

Yeah resogun was surprisingly great and addictive. What was free on xone?

InMyOpinion3627d ago

I meant discounts, as in lowered prices for selected games.

Two sports titles with a minimal following outside of the US dropped to a still unreasonable 45 quid... At 20 I may have been tempted just to play a bit of 2 player here and there... no chance at that cost.

Baka-akaB3628d ago

Wow the list of deals blows compared to what we've seen with us flash and spring sales lately .
Especially when i remember the Atlus sales in US .

And on PS4 really ? you can't afford even a meager 10 off on decent retail games ? Nba live wich no one wants and Madden with the new one looming over ?

TRS_Gear3628d ago

Why is Europe always getting these sick deals? What about the folks in the States?

djplonker3628d ago (Edited 3628d ago )

http://blog.us.playstation....

killzone:sf is also $84 on the psn store in europe... na always has better sales and cheaper prices overall

;)

speedforce1313628d ago

We have our share of bad sales too and no we don't have cheaper prices overall. Not for people living here.

To you, it seems like that, because your money is worth more than ours. Everything is cheaper in your eyes.

Baka-akaB3627d ago (Edited 3627d ago )

Still it's not about just "importing" digital cheaper thanks to rate exchange .

There are deal more often , especially from publishers that dont even have an european office .

Today's list is still quite a few stuff that was already free in the instant collection , very old , or not really that cheaper with sequels incoming . BAre a few exceptions of course .

Instant collection stuff is usually better in EU , but the sales ? Nah

Ghost_Nappa3627d ago

$84 What the actual fuck????

Eonjay3628d ago

There are literally hundreds of deals.
