NBA live wasn't nearly as good as 2K for basketball fans because their gameplay was too stiff, not realistic enough, and generally stagnant. 2K lacked in features and required a longer learning curve, which turned off casual gamers.
If Live can actually return with a good game then competition in the market will be good for consumers. But EA has a poor track record and that will discourage some fans from trying their game.Heir, Prince of Cambridge

I personally don't put any weight into game trailers when it comes to gameplay. Until you have the controller in your hand, there is no way to tell.Heir, Prince of Cambridge

Headsets
Just retired my old PX21 headset... The second earmuff cracked off and there is only so much that duct tape and crazy glue can do. Even my old man took time to make fun of my "Red Green" looking audio accessory the last time he visited.
So what did I buy to replace it? Well, I checked out the selection at Futureshop this afternoon on the way home from the office. I wanted something wireless, so that apparently adds $50 to the price right out of the gate. I wanted a mic so I can talk to my fellow gamers. I wanted Dolby and "surround sound". I wanted something easy, plug and play that was designed with the PS4 in mind but could be paired with my laptop, my phone, my TV or my Vita. So what did I buy?
The PX4, another Turtle Beach headset. My old one got me a solid three or four years so I figure this one will do the same.
I have Destiny, Diablo 3 and Madden 15 so I'll try it out tonight and let you guys know how it sounds.

In live the defender and the offensive player are not stuck to eachother, they are separate giving the player more controlHeir, Prince of Cambridge

Gameplay goes way beyond looking pretty. Sounds like your wearing rose coloured glasses and forgetting that gameplay was always Live's issue in the past. No amount of trailers can capture that. Controller in hand is the only way.
I don't know what you mean about game play, Live has always had good game play excluding last years disaster. Live's issue was simply graphics, everything else was always great. Just look back at Live 10 and compare it to 2k10, it was a better game overall with very innovative features that 2K stole after EA fucked up Live.
Just look at the history, Live has always dominated. 2K has only been good for the past 4 years since EA screwed themselves over by trying to be too cute.

Live was great for casual fans BECAUSE it was less realistic and more simplistic but if you love basketball its 2k all dayLast edited by Machine; Fri Sep 12, 2014, 12:55 AM.

Its not even close and I was angry at myself for not figuring it out sooner. If you've played basketball or you're a real basketball fan and you know how basketball is supposed to be played, 2k is the best simulator out there period. Of course improvements can be made but live has not given any indication that they are capable of coming close to matching let alone surpassing 2k. I'd be extremely happy if they did tho. I'll be trying out both games.

EB games has the great policy that you have seven days(if you're a platinum member) to return your opened game purchase for a full store credit.
Well, game on with Destiny. I liked the beta but I was expecting much more in the full version. It's just more of the same... Moving on to something else.
