Last week, 2K Sports revealed the primary gameplay footage from NBA 2K14 for PS4 and Xbox One. The video claimed to be taken from a PS4 and it looked absolutely phenomenal. Now EA Sports has revealed the primary gameplay trailer for its upcoming next gen basketball title – NBA Live 14. Which one looks better? See for yourself:

To refresh your memory, here’s what NBA 2K14 feels like running at the PS4. We will be able to assume that the Xbox One version will look the identical:

What’s immediately noticeable is that NBA 2K14 is clearly the higher looking game. There’s no contest as 2K Sports has made what looks to be probably the most realistic looking basketball game ever made. NBA Live 14 also loses some points for not showing us what its Anthony Davis feels like, but I can’t imagine it having the ability to nail his glorious unibrow in addition to NBA 2K14 does.

You can’t count out NBA Live 14 just yet, however, as EA Sport’s cutting-edge Ignite Engine may bring something new to the table. When it was first revealed, EA Sports said Ignite would make sports seem more real. So it may possibly not look better, but NBA Live 14 definitely sports some impressive player animation.

Even if NBA Live 14 doesn’t quite stack as much as NBA 2K14, it is advisable to give the blokes at EA Sports a break. The team has needed to weather their game being canceled for the last two years, and this may be the primary time we’ve seen an NBA game from EA Sports since 2010.

In short, it’s nice to finally have some competition inside the basketball game arena again.

NBA Live 14 will launch exclusively at the PS4 and Xbox One on November 15 and November 22 respectively.
