EA Sports announced today the roster for NBA Live 14. I'm not really sure what this is for seeing as how there are a lot more than six players in the NBA.
These six rising stars embody the NBA LIVE 14 ethos of “Nothing but Next,” as each is poised to be a major force on the court for years to come. These star players have spent the past several months playing an integral role in the creation of NBA LIVE 14, lending their likenesses and expertise every step of the way. The players have been involved in motion capture to capture their unique signature moves, head scans, facial performance sessions, development consultation and more. Fans will see the players featured videos and the marketing campaign leading up to, and through, the launch of NBA LIVE 14 on November 19 in North America and in the worldwide on November 22 for Xbox One and November 29 for PlayStation 4.
“The time, access and feedback these athletes have provided has been invaluable,” said NBA LIVE 14 Executive Producer Sean O’Brien. “We’ve been able to capture signature moves and unique styles through mocap sessions, and their willingness to provide open and honest feedback has helped us do so much more with the game in year one than we ever could have achieved without them.”
