NBA Live 14

The game features BounceTek, where the right stick is used for dribbling. The Franchise mode has a new Rising Star mode, where a custom player can be designed based on presets. In this mode, an amateur proves themselves in a few games and gets drafted by a team, completing objectives to earn grades and points. Online multiplayer and Ultimate Team mode are also available. In Ultimate Team, players manage a team and compete online or in fantasy showdowns to earn coins.

The Live Season mode introduces challenges based on real NBA scenarios, with BIG Moments and NBA Rewind challenges. Player and team ratings are updated regularly. The Dynasty mode allows players to build and lead a team through 25 seasons of the NBA. This mode can be played with current rosters or by redoing the 2013 draft.

The game has a global experience system and social network system, where all actions earn HoopsNet XP tied to a player's profile. Gaining levels provides rewards. These levels are used for head-to-head seasons in four tiers: Rookie, Pro, All-Star, and Superstar.
