NBA Live 14 received generally unfavorable reviews, according to review aggregatorMetacritic. IGN gave the game a 4.3/10 with reviewer Jec Julio saying that 'NBA Live's flaccid return is made all the more disappointing because we waited three years for it. After all that time, NBA Live 14 in no way advances the basketball sim genre and, worse, leaves little to be optimistic about for next year.' However, he did say that the Big Moments and the Ultimate Team modes were a positive.[10]GamesRadar gave it a 2.5/5, comparing it to NBA 2K14 with reviewer Richard Grisham saying 'The on-court gameplay doesn't look very next-gen-like, especially when compared to its NBA 2K14 counterpart.' While he praised the controls in 5-On-5, the Pick-and-Roll mechanic and the ESPN presentation, he critiqued the animations and physics, the glitches, and that the Rising Star mode wasn't fully built yet.[9]Gamespot gave the game a 4/10, writing: 'The on-court action is so sloppy and unsatisfying that even rubbing defeat in Carmelo Anthony's face loses its appeal. NBA Live needs serious work in just about every aspect in order to raise its game to a respectable level.'[8]
In November 2013, EA apologized for the low quality of the game. Executive producer Sean O'Brien stated 'As you can imagine, this isn't exactly the NBA Live comeback story we were hoping for this year. We hear loud and clear that some of you are disappointed in various aspects of NBA Live 14, and I'm sorry if the game doesn't live up to your expectations.'[11]
