Comparing NBA Live 14′s Graphics Post Patch

GoodGameBro writes, "The second significant title update to NBA Live 14 is now available for Xbox One and PS4. The update includes graphical improvements, improved controls and physics, and an all-new Shootaround mode.

Many media reviews in November mentioned the lack of graphic fidelity in NBA Live 14, especially when compared to NBA 2K14. However, the team at EA SPORTS aims to fix that with their new update.

We decided to capture 8 screenshots of NBA Live 14 pre-patch and post-patch to directly compare the improvements. The screenshots include Carmelo Anthony, Stephen Curry, Kyrie Irving, Kevin Durant, Victor Oladipo, Paul Pierce, Derrick Rose and John Wall."

Looks like all they did was improved lighting, smh this is by far the most terrible looking game I've seen released since Duke Nukem.

Muffins12234476d ago

On last gen,nextgen version was amazinggg

Patrick_pk444475d ago

This is NBA Live by EA. I think you mean't NBA 2K14 was amazing.

minimur124475d ago

to be fair, you can't deny attention to detail. I doubt many people noticed but the update has updated sme of the models aswell, if you look at this photo

they've added vein definition to the guy, so I'm impressed in terms of detail, but not in terms of graphics.

Is it just me or does this guy look like he's eaten a lemon?

Everyone knows that the game is not stunning visually, especially when compared to NBA 2K14. However, I think the lighting is a great adjustment that makes the game look a lot better.

It is nice to see an update like this months after the game releases. I can't remember a sports title that had a patch updating graphics/lighting/uniforms/pla yer skin tone.

Darkspade4475d ago

thats because they only can do this now on X1 since you have to install the full game.. Now they can release any crap and just keep updating it down the line..

that being said the graphic's weren't the only problem with this game..

dantesparda4475d ago

huh? what are you talking about? you have to install the full game on PS4 too

Back-to-Back4475d ago

Changing the graphics instead of improving the robotic player animations. Sounds like something EA would do.

Fishermenofwar4475d ago

I know I'll get roasted for this..But 2K can't get the overall experience that live has..just my opinion

Deividas4475d ago

Stop trying to justify your ridiculous purchase and accept you messed up.

NBA 2K14 blows this game out of the water. Not just graphically at all, in every aspect. The My General Manager mode is incredibly in depth, from talking to your players to how much seating cost. I was one of the biggest supporters of NBA Live when it was announced and had such high hopes because 2K was getting stale....but as soon as i found out how this was and how 2K was....easy, easy choice.

Kevin263854475d ago

I don't think 2k deserves a full pass here. Their virtual currency/online is a complete mess.

Fishermenofwar4475d ago

Justify what purchase??

Who said I purchased it?? way to jump to an enormous conclusion....

I've always been a live fan and I like it better.

Sorry that my opinion offends you...SMH

I've played the game on my friends ps4 and I like it better....once again my opinion..

PS: FISHERMANOFWAR is my psn ID you can see I've never played it on my system...

tiremfej4475d ago

Live has a LOOOOONG way to go to catch up with the 2K series...don't fool yourself. It simply isn't a good game...maybe in two years...next year no. With the way EA moves...no.

SoulSercher6204475d ago

The last Live game I played was Live 08. It was so bad earlier 2K games played better. Live has fallen from grace while 2K is on the throne.

NYC_Gamer4475d ago

Live 14 will continue to be ugly in the graphics department and mediocre in terms of gameplay/animations

bleedsoe9mm4475d ago

madden gets a pass because its the only nfl game but its just as ugly

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.

djplonker4383d ago

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

user14394144383d ago

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

UltimateMaster4383d ago

Pretty nice, but I got what I needed.

jacksons984383d 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.

cellur1114383d ago

They weren't that exciting.

Yi-Long4382d 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.

AceBlazer134383d 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.

InMyOpinion4383d 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_444383d ago

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

jacksons984383d 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.

nowitzki20044383d ago

@jacksons

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

InMyOpinion4382d 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-akaB4383d 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_Gear4383d ago

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

djplonker4383d ago (Edited 4383d 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

;)

speedforce1314383d 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-akaB4383d ago (Edited 4383d 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_Nappa4383d ago

$84 What the actual fuck????

Eonjay4383d ago

There are literally hundreds of deals.
