NBA Live 14 To Feature ESPN Presentation

ESPN is coming back to the basketball video game world.  The World-wide leader in sports will become the basis of the game presentation aspect for EA Sports’ upcoming NBA Live 14 for the Xbox One and PS4.

ESPN last lended broadcast presentation rights for a basketball game in 2009 with NCAA Basketball 2010.

Mike Breen will handle the play-by-play duties while Jeff Van Gundy will lend his knowledge in the form of color commentary. Jalen Rose will also be a part of the presentation, handling pre-game, halftime, post-game and out-of-game commentary duties.  He will also be recording new commentary to keep the game’s audio fresh throughout the year according to Operation Sports’ Steve Noah.

NBA Live 14 releases on November 19 for next-gen consoles only.
