NBA Live 15 - 20 Things You Need To Know About the Game

[worm91]

Interesting read, hopefully their strategy pays off and they can come up with a decent basketball game.

Personally i thought Dynasty mode would've been the most important part of the game, as the ability to link one game of basketball to the next with all the off court requirements is the whole point to the game.

No matter what mode you are playing, essentially you are involved in multiple games to find a winner at the end.

That said, i won't be purchasing NBA LIVE 15 this year due to lack of strategy depth.

This isn't a kick starter or a project...they are charging $60 dollars for this game...this comes with responsibility. Things like not having an option to edit players once again this year is a kick in the gut....the whole work in progress thing does nothing for me in year 2 man... That said, the focus on gameplay is nice to hear....looking forward to see what they can do...

Fair enough... but keep in mind that the live team and leadership had changed since the NBA elite 11 fiasco... this current team now is finally producing synergy as a culture in their workplace as slots are filled with talent and trustworthy individuals who is now BELIEVING that they are Better than their last product...


People might not see it but last year's game was not all bad it had some great qualities to build on and the controls , though not mind blowing, were refreshingly responsive.... last year's game was a playable scavenged from NBA live of pass very late in the dev cycle by a team that was not fully believing in themselves or the product they were working on.... doesn't seem that way to me anymore


And yes when u compare this game to its competitor with features and modes.... yes the competition has more to offer...they still are producing the best NBA title hands down IMO....but live is playing catch up to a competitor who never takes their foot off the gas... I could only imagine how hard it is narrow such a gap... exacerbated by the low budget for marketing EA is providing ....



The reality of the situation is yes certain things that should be available in NBA live are absent ...no way to get around that.... simple as that... but we can't pretend that we aren't getting some of what we asked for in NBA Live 15


Right now the game wont appeal to all of us.... and they are fully aware of it... but for those of us onboard we will hold it over until we can to a place where all of us it is appealing to or at least most of us


Like u said lets see what they can do

The "don't give them excuses" thing is a tired excuse.

There are people here that enjoyed Live 14. Agreed or not with their assessment of the product, you can't blindly state that the product was poor when people enjoyed it

Was it a small number? Sure. But let's not pretend no one knew that would be the case.

Live and EA never beat on anyone's door demanding money. To argue that they should not have released an unfinished product is a bit boggling to me since there are people that would argue 2K was an unfinished product.

The point is, people are arguing over personal feelings rather than the opinions of all.

It's just confusing to see the same arguments against Live despite that team's efforts to be as open about the process as possible.

Everyone here knew the game wasn't a completely finished product. If you spent $60 on it and complained about it, I think that's no one's fault but your own.

Lol, if you have an issue with Live 14 being called a poor product, take it up with the producers...because that's what they're saying themselves, consigning what many have said all a long....not sure how that's blind at all...id say it's more blind to ignore that fact....

I'm sure a small number of people enjoyed Halle Berry's Catwoman as well...doesn't make it any better of a movie. That's not to say I didn't enjoy some aspects of the game though, because I honestly did.

And yeah, it's time to stop making excuse for the game. This is still OS right? Since when is it ok to just accept whatever is put out there? Some of these guys can't muster out more than "oh it's not perfect" about this game, but can write an essay on their issues with 2k...which is fine, but like holbert mentioned...it's surprising to see that attitude around here...which is the only thing that's getting tired. Props to the guys giving feedback though...they are doing a great job...

In the end, I just want another decent choice of basketball gaming...save the processes for the "making of Live 15" DVD.

I don't have an issue with it being called a poor product. I never said that.

I have an issue with people that are acting as if the product was marketed as anything but.

it gets labeled as complaining here lol... That's none of my business though ☕️��

It's a double standard lowkey . difference is you don't see a million thread topics about the same thing but the single posts are similar .

Would it be your business if you were banned for trolling and posting off topic?
