NLSC Podcast – Episode #30

After featuring our biggest panel last week in our longest episode to date, we’re down to a duo this week as illness and personal matters rule out a couple of regulars. Nevertheless, please join Ben and myself as we discuss the latest NBA Live 14 news, talk next gen consoles and get caught up on the latest NBA news and results.

  • Without much in the way of community news this week, we dive straight into this week’s headlines.
  • We give our thoughts on EA Sports’ pre-rendered trailers, how much we can take from them and what we want to see in further previews of NBA Live 14.
  • I have a thing or two to say on the use of the words “cartoonish” and “cartoony” when critiquing basketball video games.
  • Microsoft has revealed their next gen console, the Xbox One. We rundown the specs and offer our reactions.
  • Moving on to the NBA discussion, we’ve arrived at the Conference Finals. Who’s making it through to the championship round?
  • A few other recent items of NBA news are discussed.
  • We finish up by reading some of your thoughts on last week’s topic, realism in basketball games compared to what we see on TV. Thanks for your input!

As always, feel free to give us your feedback on the show, as well as your thoughts on everything we discussed, either in the comments below or in this thread in the NLSC Forum.

EA Sports Footage at Xbox One Reveal was Not Gameplay

Polygon has confirmed what was previously thought, the EA Sports footage shown at the Xbox One reveal was pre-rendered and not gameplay footage. EA Sports Vice President Andrew Wilson did confirm that the videos did use the actual game assets at least, so player models and textures could be looked at for an idea of what the games, including NBA Live 14, will look like. Personally, I hope those were outdated NBA Live 13 models being used, but I’m sure we’ll learn more as the preview season continues.

Be sure to get in on all the NBA Live 14 discussions in our Forums.

NBA Live 14 Trailer Stills & Next-Gen Exclusive?

NBA Live 14’s reveal at the Xbox One event provided little specific game information, but definitely gave us all a teaser for what is coming for the new game. Along with the trailer, EA’s press site was updated with a logo and one other tidbit of information about the game. Under “Formats” only “Next Gen” is listed, where other games normally have all of the versions of the game, like Xbox 360 and PS3, listed. Nothing confirmed yet though.

Be sure to share your thoughts on the reveal in the NBA Live 14 Forum.

NBA Live 14 on EA Sports Ignite & First Look

NBA Live 14 was just shown on the Xbox One console reveal live stream. EA Sports is rolling out a new engine for multiple games, applying to the new Madden, FIFA, UFC, and NBA Live games. Major talking points included new AI and reactions with angles and inches precision. NBA Live specific information was slim, but did revolve around Kyrie Irving. Footage shown seemed to be CG trailers, and not live gameplay.

When clear media is available, we’ll be sure to show it here.
