EA has yet to officially announce NBA Live 14

NBA Live 14, the long-delayed return of EA Sports' simulation basketball franchise, may feature an Ultimate Team mode, according to a LinkedIn profile spotted by GoodGameBro.  The LinkedIn profile of Jose Diaz, a software engineer at NBA Live 14 developer EA Tiburon, lists "Ultimate Team Mode" as one of the things he's been working on at the studio since September 2012; the other, says Diaz, is yet to be announced to Buy NBA Live Coins. You can check out a screencap of Diaz's profile below.Ultimate Team is a fantasy team mode in which users build up their squad by playing games to earn in-game currency, which can be spent on the digital trading cards that make up a team. Since users can also spend real money to purchase the digital currency, the mode is fruitful as an extra revenue stream for EA in its Madden NFL, FIFA and NHL franchises; the company is also bringing the mode to its NCAA Football series this year in NCAA Football 14.

EA has yet to officially announce NBA Live 14, let alone any modes or features the game might contain, although the series' website was recently updated to say that information is "coming soon." The company has said it intends to launch a simulation basketball title this fall, after years of failing to ship reboots of the NBA Live franchise — first with the ill-fated NBA Elite 11, which was canceled shortly after its planned ship date in 2010, and again with NBA Live 13, which the company canceled last September, weeks before it was supposed to launch.NBA 2K17 doesn’t launch until Sept. 20, but interested parties can get a leg up on the game’s career mode with "The Prelude," a free download that will be available 11 days early, publisher 2K Sports announced today.  "The Prelude" will allow anyone on PlayStation 4 or Xbox One to play the introduction of MyCareer, the NBA 2K series’ single-player RPG mode, starting Sept. 9.

That’s a full week before NBA 2K17 itself launches for pre-order customers under 2K Sports’ Early Tip-Off program, and it’s unprecedented in the franchise’s history. It’s also the first time since 2012 in which 2K Sports will offer a pre-release demo, or something like it, for an NBA 2K game.As you can see in the trailer above, "The Prelude" will feature NBA 2K’s new MyPlayer creation process. In NBA 2K17, your created athlete’s physical attributes — such as height, weight and wingspan — will affect their skills on the court.

The game will also connect to the MyNBA2K17 mobile app on Android and iOS; through the Cheapest nba live mobile coins app, you’ll be able to scan your face onto your NBA 2K17 MyPlayer. (The app is scheduled to be released Sept. 8.)Once you create your NBA prospect in "The Prelude," you can choose to join the basketball program of one of 10 licensed Division I NCAA squads. The trailer shows the logos of the Arizona Wildcats, Georgetown Hoyas, Georgia Tech Yellow Jackets, Kansas Jayhawks, Illinois Fighting Illini, Louisville Cardinals, Michigan State Spartans, Oklahoma Sooners, UConn Huskies and Wake Forest Demon Deacons.
