NBA Live 14 was the WORST NBA Live Ever...

- NBA Live 14 was so bad, NBA Live never recovered. Yes, it was much worse than the infamous NBA Elite 11. It's been 6 years since the last NBA Live, NBA Live 19. And NBA 2K is getting more and more pay to win without competition...

It’s crazy that Kyrie ended up on the covers of the worst NBA Live and NBA 2K games ever.
😂
He knows how to cause damage to a franchise

sad

NBA LIVE 14 for me on IGN should've been 0/10! Not 4.3/10.
@@purwantiallan5089 i agree. it should've been 0 out of 10, not 4 out of 10.
That T Pose video murked a franchise. Crazy.
The graphics in NBA LIVE 14 looked like NBA LIVE 1996 PS1.😂
Lol they brought Kyrie out at E3 for this shit
Irving on NBA 2K25 cover art?
For a game series with "Live" in the title, it's been dead for quite some time.
NBA LIVE 14 should've been renamed "NBA LIVE 1996 REMAKE". The graphics looked like it came from PS1!
Elite 11 is far worse than this
18 pretty good
NBA live was only good when it was on Sega lol when the 2K came out it was like VHS to DVS’s
The One mode was far better than MyPlayer FWIW
Its crazy that 2k raised the bar so high in 2010 that EA didn't know how to respond lol
Not really EA has madden and madden blew up during this time with MUT. They ended up taking up the entire football market which makes more money
@@ottolottogaming8418 What are you talking about? We're talking basketball not football. 2K would kill Madden as well if EA didn't have the NFL license exclusively.
2k10 mycareer mode and newer technology was the 2 reasons live is now dead. 2k raised the expectations for a simulation hoop game. If 2k made a football game it would be 100x better than shitty EA
@@ottolottogaming8418basketball sir.. not football
@@ottolottogaming8418you need to go thru softdrink’s catalog saying some bs like this, do you know where you’re at right now bro? 😂
In 2016 or 17 I got an email from Sony granting a free $10 coupon to the pS store….. I spent it on this hot trash. At least I did not pay.
Omg I remember that code it was around Christmas time… literally this game was hot bullshit😂😂
Well some people from Italy also not gonna pay that either.
I wish people were as open and honest about how awful Madden is in order to get something to change as basketball fans were about NBA Live.
Mike Woodson in nba live 14 look like Matt from Wii sports 💀💀
EA had competition in NBA simulation games, and they imploded in the most hilarious way. That's why they will protect that NFL exclusivity at all costs.
Dang man, that outro. You reminiscing on the old 2K and how good sports games used to be, along with that killer outro music just hit me 😔. I remember warning people how paid dlc was just the beginning and how it would ultimately affect gameplay but it always fell on deaf ears. Love the videos man 👊👊
Paid DLC and FC ULTIMATE TEAM packs ruined everything ever since 2010.
I remember checking to see if my local GameStop had this to add to the collection and the guy told me “you don’t want this game, it’s terrible” 😂 still bought it! Played it maybe once.
Is there a GameStop in France as well?
funny how kyrie is on the cover of live 14(worst nba live) and 2k18(worst nba 2k).
Damian Lillard as well
It’s honestly so crazy to me that EA SPORTS of all companies doesnt make a basketball game anymore.
They can’t hang without an exclusive license that takes away all their competition so you’re only left to buy their crap
@@deprosport7254 yeah madden would’ve been killed already if 2K had the chance to say something about it. Still waiting on that NFL game they’ve been speaking about, haven’t heard anything in some time now
Ngl the nets in that game look so nice even 2k's nets nowadays don't look that good
Its a damn good net
I thought you were comparing the kg pierce d will and brook nets to the current nets 😂
@Cw1047 kg pierce and brook Lopez damn near 3 hall of famers right there but everyone knew that team wouldn't work out
I stopped gaming for one ☝🏽 generation (PS3/Xbox 360 era), when I came back in 2016, I was hella blown away by the strides 2K had taken. NBA Live was my jam on PS1 and half of the PS2 era, but 2K was getting ahead of the competition. It’s sad where sports gaming is at now, but them years between 05-11 must’ve been crazy huh?
Legit the best years for all sports games across the board. PS2 is still the platinum standard for sports gaming period. Early 2010s was the beginning of the end.
I have very fond memories of dunking for about 60 points a game from the free throw line with T-Mac on the Magic in Live 03. Baron Davis was another dude who could dunk from stupid far distances in that game.
Well i also still remembered the Buzzer Beater Game Winning 3 in an NBA LIVE BIG MOMENTS MODE.
I miss NBA live. Live 18 and live 19 were pretty good
Not gonna lie, NBA Live 14 was a okay decent game for me. I don't know why, but I just had a fun time playing NBA Live 14 with my friends. Still have fun memories with the game
Damn i miss live so much

Live 10 is so goated

NBA live needs a comeback fr, this series use to CLEAR 2K back in the day
One the best presentation packages mixed with the absolute worst gameplay. Terrible scenario for EA
@SOFTDRINKTV the way you narrate things is crazy lol. I really be sold when I watch your videos
EA started trolling after live 10
It’s sad how Live ended up. I still boot up NBA LIve 2005 every so often.
Ironic how in every other sports genre EA needs competition but with basketball games they should become the competition.
While 2K hit a home run with NBA 2K14, EA fumbled the bag with NBA Live worse than that time they signed the contract with NFL in '05.
EA Traditions
I struggle to understand why EA hasn't thought to revive the NBA Street series. By now they understand that Live is dead, but there's no need to give up on a basketball franchise. Forget a basketball sim title, you'll never catch or compete with 2k, but people would LOVE a return of the Street series. They could also introduce an online mode to compete with 2k's Park. I mean an arcade game with fun gameplay and an NBA license would do NUMBERS. The opportunity is right in front of them if they want it
EA fuming rn.
i can't help how wonder if NHL Has the same fate if NHL 2K was still alive, if 2k still makes nhl 2k games, because when i hear live 14 was pale echo of the real thing basketball in name only, 9:15, that how i feel with nhl 15 to 24 replication of hockey.
Idk If NHL is the best example that game has actually changed a lot over the last couple of years. They normally add something brand new to the game one year next year work on making it better then havea new element the following year
@@Trocav look like i am still sticking with nhl 14.
@@Trocavnah. It’s been getting worse and worse, I still play nhl 20 just because I enjoy playing a year or even two in the chl before going to the nhl. Although the older nhl’s are so much better.
@rikupv this years wasn't that bad I feel . Does need a face-lift in some areas though
The gaming landscape is so boring these days. No competition in sports titles and I just can't believe how far NBA live had fallen. I went into a Game stop the other day for the first time in about 7 years and couldn't believe what I saw. The store I went to had been cut in half and they didn't have anything used that even peaked my interest. Just a handful of titles and Pokémon dolls and other crap.
I still remember how pumped I was as a kid when the very first NBA Live came out for the SNES and Genesis. I really loved the 96 version because you got to create your player. Those days are long gone but never forgotten. It would also be nice to get a new NBA Jam game with some depth.
I remember buying this game so excited for an NBA Live game. And I also remember returning it an hour later.
EA deserved this after making the NFL license exclusive. Fuck that company.
2k is much worse
Same happened with FIFA over the years. EA really lost their touch. They used to make decent games. Now they can't make games.
Same thing with NHL, Madden, all sports games suck now unfortunately.
@@deprosport7254 same.
I’ve always hated Live games simply for the fact I can’t stand how floaty the players feel
What was the music you used for the end of the video
I think I stopped playing live after 08. But boy do I miss those 2000's when we were getting good 2k and EA basketball games. I would always get both cause I could never pick between the 2
I barely remember when this game was first released. When this game was released, they decided to release it as a 8th generation exclusive. Though it was first to be release on 8th generation gaming consoles, the game was garbage, and I avoided this game. I've played the PS4 version of NHL '15 and that game was garbage too.
This was when NBA Live was put on life support after the NBA Elite '11 debacle. I've played NBA Live '95, '97-2000, 2004, 2005, '06 and '10 and they're leagues better than this crap.
At this point I wonder if NBA Live will ever make another basketball game again
Or - they would just change the series name to FIBA or FIBA Live and focus more on adding European/international leagues and national teams (like in NBA Live 08-10) (NBA would be still important, but less than 2K series). And EA with addition of global basektball teams and leagues should win the basketball game genre internationally. Imagine, if today we would have something like FIBA 24 or FIBA Live 24, with over 20-25 leagues to choose from (with NBA, G League and WNBA), fully licensed EuroLeague and EuroCup with all teams participating in every year, Eurobasket, Basketball World Cup etc. This idea would truly make NBA Live as an arcade competition to NBA 2K. So, NHL games have some European leagues, so why not NBA 2K or Live especially if they made another game?
S/O to you for giving Hard8Times is just due with the Elite 11 Jesus Bynum glitch, most people never do but he was the main reason Elite 11 was cancelled lol
Even in 2024, i still remembered a lot about "Bynum's T POSE" bugs in NBA ELITE 11 PS3....
do a retrospective on Ncaa March Madness 2004🤘🏼
I remember trying to get that game in gamestop when it dropped and the worker begged me so bad to not get it lol
NBA Live was starting to be garbage in 2014 years ago and all that stuff, but the old ones were absolutely goated with friends boss.
If EA would just bring back NBA Street with the same art style and it would absolutely bury 2k. They can’t beat 2k at their own game.
Wish we gotta Live 20 & counting😢19 was really fun
Any news on the next Gen NBA game EA said they were taking a break to make? Been dead silent since that last statement yeeeeeaaaarrrrrrssss ago...
live 19 is such an underrated game too. if only they started off hot that game should’ve been talked about more
grabbed it off ebay for 6$ an i despite the gameplay the presentation an soundtrack brings me back to when they released the demo on ps4 which was a decade ago, the aesthetic of nba live 14 holds a special place in my heart lmao
Guys wake up, Soft Drink Uploaded
NBA11's elite controls would even be weird in 2024 not to mention back in 2010.
There was a practice mode on live 14 and they used to upload tutorials to their old channel
Live 14 felt like a mobile game lmao
bro Live 14 looks so bad I thought this video was being rendered in 720p 💀holy shit
I remember trying to play MyCareer and everytime I passed half court it would automatically pass
The fact that Jesus Bynum saved the world from a release of NBA Elite 11 will always be the funniest piece of video game trivia.
this live is just putrid 😭 tho i do miss the live series
The only thing I liked about this game is the presentation others than that. The whole game is the complete mess.
My wife got me this game for my birthday and I immediately filed for divorce
Soundtrack's fire tho
Can you rank every single Madden Game?
Anyone remembered that FlightReacts glazed the hell out of this game
Strange, I haven't spent a damn cent in 2k's MyLeague mode, which is the best franchise mode in all sports games on consoles
when this game came out I was in second grade n I swore up and down this game was decent but this game was deadass so shitty its crazy .
This was the first live I ever played
This was a good game not gunna lie to you cuzz. This came out when I graduated Imao
The only way they can pull me in NOW is a College Dynasty.😎👍🏿
Softdrink, can you do a retrospective on NBA 2K20?
I remember arguing with my buddy when he tried NBA 2K 6 and the shot stick saying that it was garbage and live was better
Bro this was one of the only games on release day when the ps4 came out. I actaully really enjoyed it then. Idk about now
Sad that NBA live hasn't been a top teir basketball game in years that was my favorite series before jumping over to 2k
I don’t understand how they can look back at all the lives and not bring back All star weekend and street ball 1 on 1 modes and smoother gamplay I refuse to believe they spent 2 years on that and the game came out in the state it was in.
Did ea take down nba elite 11 videos
Live 14 is just fifa 14 but they thought nobody would notice
To me NBA LIVE always had the presentation on point it was always better than 2K . 2K just got the basketball aspect of a basketball video game to a tee. I will say Live 06-09 were UNfuckWITHable in totality. But 2K10 and on was just a different beast.
This game was so bad no matter where I was there was always a copy at a dollar general or family dollar bin
If EA can’t get an exclusive license from a league to keep other companies from competing with them, this is what ends up happening.
Do NBA Live 15 and 16 next
I feel like I’ve seen this video before is this a re upload lol
I played this game a ton on Xbox One and I still have it. As someone who doesn't really enjoy sports games unless it's something silly, like NBA Street and NBA Jam, I liked this game exactly because it was so damn janky and didn't really play anything like actual basketball...and I only paid 2.99 for it from Goodwill too😂😂
Its crazy. Bc with the absence of NBA Live 2K pretty much is the sole place to play and it pisses me off.
Now.. everyone is playing NBA live 19. Funny how things come full circle
2k needs new net sounds
*Live 10 was the best basketball game i had ever played 🙌 so I was super disappointed when Elite 11 got cancelled. I played the demo and enjoyed it but it was definitely a big step back from 10 in terms of movement, stiffness, etc. 14 felt exactly like 11 but it was cool if you just focused on controlling 1 player 😂 passing, cutting to the rim, spot up shooting. Live 19 made up for it though. 19 is the best basketball game I've ever played in my life* 👌
personal opinion honestly, but live 07 was even worse
3 shoot buttons which were super confusing, even more artificial looking animations, a (for me atleast) mostly un memorable soundtrack, and a graphics engine which while good makes my 360 sounds like a jet engine, the game just sucks
ea does the same thing with ufc too. five is the worst yet
"The Career Mode unlike 2K had no Story or Cutscenes"
That's a GOOD Thing
that’s a bad thing foh
Madden would be dead today also if it wasn’t for licensing deal with the nfl smh. Tired of EA
This is basically the quality of Madden today...
this is basically the quality of NHL today since 15.
So good but hated
Best vid ever
With A college football video game coming could EA get back in the basketball market with a men’s/women’s college basketball game?
Why do people think college basketball games will sell? They were cancelled back in the day for a reason, and it wasn’t because of the likeness lawsuit.
@@kenjones3205 rise in the interest in the women’s games could help sales, also the last college basketball games are so outdated it needs an upgrade
@@kenjones3205they sold well it was the lawsuit they were pretty much forced to its the collage basketball games that didn't sell

I’ve seen all from 1980-Now NBA Live was good from 1995-2005 after that it was all NBA 2K
I remember seeing this piece of trash back in the day and thinking to myself what frag would buy this
Barely new it existed
EA apologizing? It really was a different era.
2K should apologize too for ruining the games and all their VC shit. Live will come back better. Live 19 already felt on the right track.
Do a video on 2k13
NBA ELITE was farrrr worse , 14 was garbage tho
EA's sports titles aren't given the biggest budgets of development compared to back in the 1990s and 2000s.
FIFA and Madden are because they sell and make crazy money from microtransactions.
