Video game developer EA Sports announces that the official cover star for its upcoming NBA Live 14 basketball simulation is Kyrie Irving, the 2011-12 NBA Rookie of the Year and one of the dominant forces of the game.

The player states, "I’ve been on the court with the development team and I’ve seen first-hand some of the amazing things EA Sports is doing with NBA Live 14. The fans are going to love it."

Irving was the first pick of the 2011 draft and is also Foot Locker Three-Point Shootout champion after starring in the NBA All Star game in 2013.

One of the main features of NBA Live 14 is the new bounceTek physics for the ball, which introduce a new level of control and precision for both dribbling and shooting.

NBA Live 14 will be out in the fall on the Xbox One and the PlayStation 4.
