It is! I've read bits and pieces of it. My dad has it, and so he always points out some interesting bits from the book, but I will definitely sit down and read it one day. I am a basketball-junkie, so I'd love to read it!
I don't when I'm listening to Simmons, because you can tell he actually watches the games. Then I hear Jalen speak for a minute or two and it kind of brings the ESPN to light! Not that I have a problem with Jalen's commentary, it's just that ESPN's former players are fairly casual when it comes to actually watching the teams play. As opposed to the guys at Turner (NBA TV/TNT - after the merge, they mix and match commentators), who are pretty hardcore (which is why I've always preferred them).

Live 14 doesn't look THAT awful. It looks a little rough, but there are things here that can be built upon. If they stay on this current path and keep steadily progressing, they might could make some noise in the near future.
Knowing EA like I know EA when Live 14 gets beaten badly in sales by 2K14, they'll blow everything up again, and they'll never progress because they are constantly trying to remake the game from scratch.
Is it this?:

Anyone else notice that the people in the crowd have no facial features?
It's a bit Slenderish. It's freaking me out.
EDIT: That GIF above me is mesmerising...

I'd say dribbling, unless 2k has created a system that's not anything at all like the current gen l.

2K14 DLC?
Didn't you hear? EA cancelled NBA Live 14! They hope to bring it back next year as NBA Elite 69!
Arguably and surprisingly the most next gen looking launch game. Who saw that coming?

We will soon have another game delayed to 2014 announcement. How EA can be this lazy with machines that are easy to program for and utilize is astounding.
I wonder what 2K could do with the NFL? We can only imagine .... which is a damn shame.

No need to imagine. Play NFL 2K5! Pretty sure that NFL 2K5 could release today and still be more ground-breaking than Madden 25...
stop with that bullcrap. NFL 2K5 was a good game but Madden became better since last year. Do u even play play Madden or just repeat what others say? PPl that been saying that for the last couple of years are just talking out of their ass now.

... Clearly I was talking with a bit of hyperbole, but that's it. A bit. If 2K was making NFL games, EA Sports would be toast. I've played my share of Madden over the years, yet none of it blew me away in the same way that 2K5 did.

I don't see what the fuss is about here. You guys knew they were going to keep supporting the PS3/360 for years to come, and I think it looks really good for 8 year hardware

I swear to god this is the same engine from 1998

Don´t know, but judging but how this looks it is not soon, 3 years maybe, lol.
Even this looks like shit and how I hate EA, I hope they get their shit together for the sake of competition.

This looks worse than Madden. Which to me was the worse "next gen" game coming out. Fucking EA.

Yeah, Shaq, Barkley, Johnson and Smith are the best. Particularly when Shaq does something stupid and they cut to Charles who always has a look of disgust on his face. It's great.

Animation is terrible.
Some players are way too lanky. D-Rose, Carmelo, and Deron Williams are way off.

Incredibly accurate statement.
It does look like they just ported the current gen PC version with the higher resolution and texture resolutions.
Prob took them all of 2 months to do.
Without 2k graphically it doesn't look bad.. But then everything starts moving and it sets in. Yeah graphics aren't everything but this looks awful to actually play. 2k animation issues are there to keep things looking good and also to prevent as much jank as possible. For better or for worse they actually eased up a lot this year especially with the layups. But this just looks shite.
But I'll wait until a demo or something but sizzle trailers aren't going to do this game any favors. They can redeem themselves a bit if they get the game modes correct. 2k has been lacking on that front for years now. So like If the game is playable and the sim engine isn't broken there is a chance....
Small as shit tho

In general.
Now I don't follow NBA games, but wasn't it a long running thing that Live pretty much always terrible compared to 2K last gen and this gen? Also, in the years that Live stopped coming out, didn't 2K put out what was reviewed as like the best basketball game ever either last year or the year before?
Competition is usually the best but all it seems to do for basketball is show how terrible EA is and oddly inhibit 2K from doing their best work.

Definitely underwhelming. Considering how good EA Sports UFC looks. I know there are only two characters on-screen, etc., but that's no excuse.
So, does this mean EA should use the Frostbite 3 engine on sports titles, too? IGNITE has failed to impress so far. Yes, it depends on the developers, I know, but from the looks of it, NBA LIVE 14 will once again be playing second banana to NBA 2K14 and by a long shot, too.
I dunno, the animations themselves look janky and remind me of the PS2 for some reason. Transitioning from dribbling to driving to dunking seems off and not fluid at all.
Also, now that I've noticed it, EA rarely -- if ever -- sends us press releases for NBA LIVE 14. Maybe this is why?
Also, for those asking, from what I know this is a digital title and won't be priced at $60. So there's that, I guess.

...I think it's going to take a few years before it gets competitive lol

Live always had its proponents during the Xbox/PS2 era, and you could put forth a case for Live superiority at that time without people thinking you belonged in a nut house. But Live was a complete grease fire in the 360/PS3 era.
NBA Inside Drive 2004 is the best basketball game ever produced. /videogame basketball hipster
