Yes a free $1,000 in knowledge will be passed on to the winner :hula:

Look, I'm hijacking another thread. But for good reason. There is a bigger revelation to the story that seems to be going over the heads of everyone.
EA apologized for NBA Live 14 being underwhelming. But what they said they'll do about it should be an eye opener to every gamer out there
http://www.easports.com/nba-live/news-updates-gameplay/article/nba-live-14-open-letter

They are indirectly saying that there is no need to even have a NBA Live 15 because they can just upgrade Live 14'
Its right there, they will improve all that over the coming weeks. Graphics, animations, significantly.
No way in hell you say that during your apology speech and there be no truth to it :krs:
Now of course if you ask them about this, they'll then provide a company reply to cover there tracks

But the Kat is out of the bag. Games can be improved from there end now in all ways.
Killer Instinct is set to have 4 seasons worth of content. New characters, new levels, new moves, new everything. Courtdog even predicted thats how EA would update there sports games in the future.
When we go totally digital, it makes little sense for companies like EA to keep up the charade.
They may try it for the first year or two, unless we wise up as a people.

We need to set up a video gamers union n shyt :patrice:

This is has always been the case unfortunately.. They always held back games and later unlocked resolutions/features/graphics etc through "driver updates", patches or expansions. This is even worse now though, game companies straight raping peoples pockets legally with "Premium Packages" and 5x DLC... before it was ONE game and ONE expansion. And the expansion came out a year + later because it changed the entire land scape of the game. Now a days expansions are just adding characters, maps, etc that already in the game files but just locked until you buy the damn DLC :stopitslime:

Even Twitch, the streaming site everyone talks about has settings for popular streams that you cant even watch the stream in high resolution unless you subscribe to the stream for $7.99 or some shyt :dwillhuh:

So I cant even watch this Call of Duty tournament on high settings unless I spend money :dwillhuh:

gaming right now :camby:


its only going to get worse with "free to play" and micro transactions (really means "pay to win" )

2k14 isn't even all that nice aside from the graphics. They took out association mode and replaced it with MyGM :why: I don't have the time to pretend to be a GM :camby:

I think I will give Live a try after they patch their game.

If these dudes are really gonna patch this year round we cant hate....2k gives no fukks post release:yeshrug:

I might cop this when I get ps4 because 2k gives no fukks and wont patch something as a simple as a online franchise mode.

All jokes aside Live is terrible but if they are willing to work all year I can support that

lets not say 2k gives no fukks. they don't give a fukk about certain things such as online. but next gen 2k has flaws too. that being said, the core gameplay of 2k14 is that piff, and they built the game from the ground up instead of porting it. which is why most folks are saying its the best next gen launch game. 2k will probably patch some of the issues like they do every year, but I dont expect them to do a major overhaul. and why would they when its getting over 8/10's on EVERY review????

live has been gone for years, and comes back and releases :trash:

they have absolutely no choice but to release patches to fix this game if they wanna even remain relevant to consumers next year when they drop live 15.

They give no fukks breh and Im one of the few that think 2k14 is the best playing basketball game of all time.


Which makes the fact that they refuse to fix or patch or even admit that OA os fukked up even more of a shytty situation. It robs nikkas of enjoying a sim like experience with probably the only bball game to nail the sim experience to a T.

2k has gotten worse and worse at customer service and if Live can knock them off thier high horse they will get back to what brought them here....listening to the fans

Is this false hope? People hype up NFL 2k5 (which was on the PS2) more than they hype up All Pro Football 2k8 (which was on the PS3)
I'm so tired of these lames talkin about nfl2k5.. The game was ok but it wasn't what these geeks make it out to be..

I remember. I had the game and it was ok but jesus christ these lams and their paul bunyan tales :sadcam:

The biggest thing that bothers me is; now, with these new systems being constantly connected to servers, are sports games only gonna as good as the developers are willing to improve them?

What's the point in that?

If you're gonna keep on "improving" NBA Live 14...you seriously expect me to buy NBA Live 15??

2K just gave you the best launch game EVER....let alone sports game and ya'll nikkas still tryin to diss em :dahell:

2K could not put out another game for 5 years and it would still be better than anything EA could put out.
