lol

says it all for me.

I think this year we get a console port for the PC version. Part of me wants Virtual Currency out of the picture.

[info-0]

What I heard so far is that NBA 2k15 will be "on completely different level" to what we have currently, taking FULL capabilities of NG into account. With NBA 2k14 we got just a teaser...

Also NBA 2k15 players will speak in ALL languages available in game! (huge localization project!).

Here is whole video:

As for PC prediction, I suspect same version as PS4/Xbox One. I mean come on we can run friggin' UE 4.0 engine in 4K resolution...

[JaoSming]

dude, no hiphopgamer, just no. The full NCAA teams "confirmation" in NBA Live 14 is all I need to say about him.

[info-0]

Hm, wouldn't say they won't implement it in NBA Live 15 though.

Or is he just unreliable source on the whole? Like Adam for Pro Evo series?

[Kevin]

Saw the last article about the 2k14/live14 predictions. Almost all of it wasn't close/ didn't happen

his track record is as good as mine. And my track record is...

AWESOMEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE

[JaoSming]

BOOM, 2 correct predictions 1 day later. So glad I didn't delay doing this feature another week. KD35 cover of 2K15, and no PC version of Live 15.

[Andrew]

Thumbs up for one, not so much the other.

[[Q]]

I think EA might snag Lillard for the cover

[Kevin]

Let's just kidnap Leftos and this would be all over

[JaoSming]

The Euros of 2K's Euros & Retros has been greened....this is insane, no red at all yet

any news on creating players?

[Patr1ck]

Sorry, but a lot of what you predicted is just a description of the current games. Look at what the other game(s) did well that the competition would want to try to do better, and you should have more green sections.

What is "real" technology for EA's Live?

[JaoSming]

It was supposed to be Real-Time-Physics. I screwed up when I copy pasted and formatted from the main article that explains each prediction briefly. This wasn't supposed to be a wishlist, just my actual predictions and unfortunately a lot of them are predicting no major changes.

[Patr1ck]

I think Live 14 already had RTP(remnants of it from Elite 11 that are now part of Ignite), they just didn't advertise it because users think it means something else. I'm thinking of the collision animation chooser for layups/dunks in the paint, and the acceleration/momentum of players.

any news on creating players?

Not a whole lot of news about anything at this juncture. History suggests we'll start getting trickles of information come June.

[JaoSming]

Other than the cover athlete I think NBA Live 15 is all set. After the podcast with Sean I definitely see some kind of competition between the games, even without a clear head to head race. I am calling Live 15's graphics over-hyped right now just because we haven't seen much in motion, but that one could change.

Also added some of the 2K ones from the MyLEAGUE article.

[JaoSming]

well, I went 7/13 for NBA Live 15 predictions! woo!
