I think for this price it was a no brainer. I hear all the bad reviews but I think it's still a fun game. Now I do like 2k14 better but still like this one

This game is just terrible. DON'T waste your money on it. Unrealistic gameplay. I traded this in after 4 hours. If you want to play a basketball game, go buy 2K. I see why EA hasn't made a b-ball game for a few years...

Just go ahead and get NBA 2K14 don't even waste your time on these horrible controls, and lackluster movement.

Boring

It amazes me that a company would charge 60 dollars knowing their game was at this quality. As a decent human being, at least discount the damn thing from the start. I lost hope in NBA Live with this one.

Matching up against the terrific NBA 2K14 was sure to be a challenge, but EA's first basketball sim since 2009 barely puts up a fight, coming off as an unmitigated disaster rather than an entry worthy of the brand's almost 20-year legacy.

+ Challenges pulled from daily games are a cool touch

- Sluggish, awkward, and imbalanced gameplay; no training elements, - Dull, unremarkable player models; repetitive presentational aspects, ?

It's been five years since we've seen an NBA game from EA Sports; a company notorious for obtaining, monopolizing, and grinding a license into the ground before relinquishing the rights.

NBA LIVE 14 is a difficult game to recommend, especially when the more stellar NBA 2K14 is available. Although developers smartly incorporate real-world NBA moments through mini-games, it's the on-court action that suffers most. Players are stiff, moving awkwardly around the court.

I was so excited about the revival of the NBA Live games. I downloaded the demo version to give it a try and after playing 2K14, I was quickly disappointed. The graphics were certainly not next generation. It didn't seem realistic like 2K14.

NBA Live 14 is a mess that probably shouldn't have been released – hell, EA have even apologized because it is so bad. The gameplay is fundamentally broken due to the ease of scoring dunks, and 2-point jumpers being near impossible to sink, whilst the poor AI leads to a highly unrealistic game.

Didn't really enjoy the game glad i only paid about ￡3 for it
