The NBA 2K franchise has dominated the pro basketball video game space so long, it's easy to forget that it once had competitors.

After a long hiatus, Electronic Arts is bringing back its hoops series NBA Live for the PlayStation 4 and Xbox One, and introduced the first taste of on-court action to the world with a new trailer.

As with Thursday's NBA 2K14 clip, the NBA Live 14 video is a small slice of the action, featuring players such as Paul George and cover star Kyrie Irving.

NBA Live 14 has a long way to go before catching up to the NBA 2K series, which has owned the space with smooth, authentic game play. It's been strong enough to recruit Michael Jordan and this year's cover athlete, LeBron James.

Readers, what do you think of the NBA Live 14 trailer?
