So I ended up doing the digital download off the PS4.

Me too
in previous days, I went to my local store to preorder it, they said no need to do. because no one preorder it. they said you can buy it on day. but today I went to the store, they said in my country no one authorize live15, you have to buy it from u.s !! WTF!! but i did not quit! I found at least 5 store, but no one knows live 15 releasing!!

finally I have to buy the digital from us PSN!!

It's unbelievable!!

that's really bad marketing for Live!!

I really enjoyed what few hours I played earlier. Like the fact I could play all game modes put of the box unlike 2k

Love defending in the post. Be straight bumping the offensive player on up out of there. And on the flip side, I like hard bumping the defender when I have the ball. Game is just physical on the blocks on both sides of the ball.

Im hoping it's bc I jus have the demo but I'm jus not getting the joy out of it that you guys are. I was looking forward to it so it's kinda disappointing

I played the demo & really had a goodtime with it. Graphics are crisp & clean and the atmosphere is great. The main thing to me is that it was fun. Shooting was fluid and defense is fun to play. Glad to see live getting back on track.

this game is by far the worst sports game out right now. the force field baseline cheese is gonna be a huge problem on online. u cant run out of bounds. wtf EA!!!! i dominated with Kendrick Perkins for 40pts in 6 min quarters on superstar by just running up the baseline pump faking then either dunking or a layup

The more I play the game and learn the controls the more fun I have . Playing on superstar .

I really think the game settings by default should be:
ESPN Camera
Auto Replays on
Breakaway Cam on
Post-Whistle Pace normal
Auto Motion Calling
Auto timeouts

I'm don't understand why have that stuff off it adds so much more to the game

Thoughts from the demo:
+Graphics are fantastic, especially the colors - clearer and brighter presentation than the competition, love the bump mapping on the uniforms - has a textured cloth look, nice.
+Fun to play - seeing LeBron and KD, they play like they do in real life - interesting to watch them in the flow of the game
+Pick and roll, play calling and other aspects of the game - easy to grasp, yet difficult to master
+atmosphere is great, loved when the Thunder had a white out game, yet about 20 Cleveland fans were wearing red and yellow in the crowd
+Swishing of the net is amazing, never gets old - animation and sound wise

-Massive clipping throughout, absolutely horrendous
-Nowhere near as intricate and in-depth as its counterpart (injuries, roster edits, play calling, modes, commentary etc.) it's extremely limited
-Animations are somewhat stilted at times
-Only one player comes out for player introductions - honestly, looks lame
-Point guard dominated to a degree
-Did I mention clipping, hahaha
-AI logic - lack of, at times
-Too easy to steal from the AI
-Overall post play (more in-depth than what it appears once you try the advanced moves, though way too many hook shots and odd animations in the post game)
-Blocks are fun, though they are a little over the top, though not by much
-Often hard to stop the AI on drives to the paint, can be done - though defensively it seems not as complex and diverse at its counterpart

All that said, I enjoy playing it, probably more so than its competition, it's a lot of fun, though it's so bare bone feature wise it's hard to logically select it knowing that it's so limiting. The inability to alter and edit players and lineups is the biggest issue I have with the game at the moment.
