NBA 2K14 vs. NBA Live 14 (PS4/XBOX One)

It looks like EA Sports is finally stepping back on to the court and releasing their new NBA Live game this November, after having the last two games canned simply due to 2K Sports putting out a superior product that they couldn't compete with. They are claiming that this year; however, they are going to put out the best hoops game ever.

Here are the trailers so far:

NBA Live 14:

NBA 2K14:

Trailer 1: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zJoyobk0tVM
Trailer 2: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ADfjrh12L38 (this one kicks in at 37 seconds and looks OUTSTANDING)

For the last few years, the NBA 2K games have; in my opinion, been the best sports games around. I expect 2K14 next-gen to be no different, but it will be interesting to see if EA can step up again.

Any NBA gamers/NBA fans here? I'm probably going to get both.

    i am a massive basketball fan

    nba live apparently have been terrible for years whilst 2k have been leading the best basketball game tag for a while

    it will be interesting to see which game is better on the new gen consoles..

    Alot of fans have been complaining about nba 2k14 though....its made little improvements from last years game apart from updated roosters and thats it.

    That's current-gen. I have a feeling that next gen 2K will be like a whole new game.

    Yeah the detail in 2K is excellent, spot on for those guys, even Harden's wrinkles look great lol

    I like watching the NBA, but I'm not very good at playing the game!

    New 2k trailer.

    https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GJlptY6G4SQ

    Looks incredible - look at the sweat dripping on Harden as he prepares for his free throw! The only imperfection I see is that Kobe seems to have some kind of glow on his baldy head!

    Meanwhile at NBA Live.... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dTZ4Kj2bO7w ...just, meh!

    NBA 2k and Ryse trailers are really highlighting next gen. Can't wait

    2K does look incredible. It's my must-have PS4 launch title for sure. I'll reserve judgement on Live 14 until I see their full trailer tomorrow.

    Dont hold out much hope for EA's version, wasn't a fan of them last time they were releasing them... but the 2K games have been great for a few years now, and fully expect 14 to be just as good, one of my first purchases on next-gen

    2K blows Live out of the water, the Live player seem too lanky.

    Meh, until you can do an MJ and take free throw with your eyes closed, these games will never live up to my expectations! :D;)

    I have NBA2K14, having played pretty much every basketball game there is/has ever been in the past.

    It's great. It's smooth as always on the court, has a new Lebron mode which is sort of fun, unless you hate Lebron of course, and the presentation as ever is top notch. My only complaint so far is actually in regards to the commentary when playing the newly re-named New Orleans Pelicans. They go on and on and on and on about the name.
