EA Sports has released the first batch of player rankings and Lebron James has been ranked 99 out of 100, Sports Illustrated reports.

EA sports launched the debut of the first NBA LIVE 14 feature Playbook, which is all about gameplay, and revealed revolutionary new features such as bounceTek physics-based dribbling and authentic signature style of over 50 NBA stars, NBA.com reports.

To whet fans' appetites for what's to come, today EA SPORTS released a trailer with a sneak peek of 5-on-5 gameplay, NBA.com also reports.

EA Sports has announced that NBA Live 14 will be released on November 19 on both the Playstation 4 and the Xbox One, meaning it will be available in time for Microsoft's next-generation console that is expected to release on November 22, not Sony's.

The Playstation 4's release date is on November 15, meaning NBA Live 14 won't be available in time for the release of Sony's next-generation console, leaving gamers wondering if more people will turn to the Xbox One.

Prior to this point, Electronic Arts had only confirmed that NBA Live 14 would be released in the "launch window," by the end of 2013, Polygon.com reports.

The game's competition, NBA 2K14 from 2K Sports, will be available on PS4 and Xbox One at their respective release dates, Polygon.com also reports.

NBA Live 14's developer also announced that Kyrie Irving will be the athlete featured on the cover of the game and released gameplay snapshots.
