Good, all yearly release sports games deserve a score no better than this.

Why the hell don't they just bring back EA Sports BIG?? Make sports games fun again like the PS2 days.

So it's even worse than expected when EA couldn't even be bothered to pay off reviewers.

This IS them paying off the reviewer...

The conversation probably went something like this:

EA Rep: We want you to give us a good review for NBA Live 14 and in return we will provide ad revenue and sponsorship for your site for the next month.

IGN: Hahahahahahahahahaha

EA Rep: Er how about a decent review for the same?

IGN: ..ahahahahahaha...

EA: At least give us above average!

IGN: ...ohohohohoho...

EA: Dammit just say SOMETHING nice about the game.

IGN: ...ehe.... eh.... heh...oh god... sure thing buddy! Our review will definitely have something nice to say about the game.




NBA Live has been the ugly stepchild to 2K for many years now. This isn't surprising to me. Especially where EA is concerned. For all the money they've made on the Madden franchise over the years, the crowd in the stadiums still look like the same 4 people cloned 15,000 times each, and the players still pull a David Copperfield by walking through the wall in the back of the end zone after scoring a TD.
