I think there're no such big changes between those 2k series :(

Who went with NBA Live over NBA 2K this year? Live has been a write-off since 2007 pretty much, went with 2K15 (2K since 2009 actually).

I just picked up live 14 yesterday I like it's good I like the commentary it's a change from the last live game.

I'm looking forward to Live 15 the graphics look so sick and there also gameplay out too.

It's a great idea to switch between live and 2k editions yearly; otherwise you won't notice any differences. I don't think HUT is included with NBA Live. Then again it's not in 2k15 either.

NBA takes a backseat to FIFA, NHL and Madden. HUT is excluded in live as the resources aren't there for EA. Interesting to see what EA do with this NBA franchise.

Wasn't Live a train wreck last year though? I remember EA having to make a public apology and the games Metacritic was beyond harsh.

I would be willing to give it a chance but they would need to give me a demo up front for '15.

They updated live 14 with a patch that fixed up and the graphics and bugs it's a playable game.

EA probably will do a trial on EA Access on XBONE and a demo.

I picked up 2k14 last month and I've already played over 100 My Career games. It's the most addicting mode out there. I hope 2k15 beefs up this area. Maybe introduce an online aspect to it so that you can play with your friends.

I'll be picking up 2k15 on the day of the release.

Wow, that trailer raises the expectations to something that I'm afraid whatever we end up with we're gonna be disappointed. Hope I'm wrong.

Although Live 15 looks much better than Live 14. If you have seen the gameplay video you can still see that the live franchise still suffers from the same problems over the past few years. The players look like sticks, awkward animations, and doesn't hold a candle to 2K15. Looks like they hyped up Live 15 by showing some good animation faces but same crap at Live 14.

Interesting to note that Tim Duncan has been playing Basketball longer that I have been watching it. Maybe not as obvious but Tim Duncan has been playing professional basketball longer that Francesco Totti has been playing professional football. That's 17 years for those that don't know. He's 38, same age as Totti.

Tim Duncan born: April 25, 1976 (age 38)
Francesco Totti born: 27 September 1976 (age 38)

Yesterday Francesco Totti was the oldest player to score in a champions league game against Manchester City no less. I wonder if Tim Duncan can match that by being the oldest player to score a game winning basket in an NBA playoffs game.

NBA 2K14 was. No reason why 2K15 will be different.

Depending on the capture card, streaming live games on Twitch @1080p/60 FPS requires an i7 and uses a lot more bandwidth.

Most people that stream on Twitch use lower video settings for streaming output. I have an Elgato HD 60 but never bothered with
the Twitch streaming feature.
