I don't feel like repeating myself again here. But, I bought Live 15 just to support their movement because I liked the games overall vibe and atmosphere WAY more than the other. Unfortunately, the 16 demo was much improved but not polished enough for me to buy. Specifically the animations/scoring are not acceptable and clunky still dribbling around. So I don't feel like dropping $60 again in hope it supports Live 17. Out of patience now..not that 16 is bad but it's not clean at all, so in a way it's still pretty broken.

MAJOR APPLAUD FOR:
-Courts (wow shoe marks even throughout game? Awesome touch. Blown away).
-Presentation/atmosphere (in the game earns it's saying here!)
-Accessories
-Graphics (good enough forsure)
-Playcalling/play wheel (LOVE the play wheel
-Response time/servers
-ProAm mode (actual proam too)
-1 man animations


Majority of those are actually better than the competition so if they keep moving forward/building off of with this level of detail on their GAMEPLAY/MOVEMENTS/ANIMATIONS/REALISM this game will win everybody over.

The thing is those cons are big cons. Just can't have much replay value when you are cringing at 30 ft hook shots swishing in every game. It literally is a mix of that and 'stuck' dribble move transitions..corny dunking/scoring that is enough to ruin it.


Looks like I just repeated myself.


Oh well, rooting for Live I want it to be the best game on the market but NO BUY for me this round, unless the patch performs some miracles on the gameplay.

Grew up playing Live wanted this to make a comeback but just being honest here I'm not seeing much potential here. The Pro-am is somewhat FUN (even though most friends think this game is really bad) thats about as far as it gets for me I dont see that mode being competitive. playing to 21, no fouls, the animations the honestly just flat out suspect. every time someone does a eurostep/hopstep its an auto bucket. Apparently its really hard to block shots, has anyone done a chase down block in pro-am yet? I havent but anyways this game is a no go for me I would probably spend 10 bucks on this if I was bored.

I'm going to let you excited guys try and convince me later on, ill look out for some threads and youtube vids to see if the game gets significantly better. Right now i don't need it, its not deep enough, and i had way more of negative experience then positive with NBA side of the game.

Pro-Am was fun but i can see how by Jan it can become stale. However, If they take the mode and make a tournament out of it with user teams, added fouls and 5min quarters that would tempt me. I know 2k's pro-am might be just like i described so we will see, but the live courts, having bragging rights at Rucker Park or in Terminal 23 feels right.

Most critical aspect in possibly buying it later = I need to see team styles / mid range game. What is everyone else's purchase / not purchasing status?

I'm definitely going to buy Live 16. It's not perfect (what game is?) but I like the approach EA is taking. Live Pro-Am is fun and the level system is impressive. Once you get used to the system, it's fun and challenging in all the right ways. Shot % are for more accurate than 2K15 was but we'll see if 2K turns that around.

The basketball game market NEEDS competition to keep each brand on the road to make their product better each year. Live doesn't have to be better than 2K, just like Battlefield doesn't have to be better than Destiny or COD. There's room for more titles.

after extensively playing the demo, I decided to wait until it goes down in price. Now don't get me wrong, I find the game fun, it's just that it's too far behind for my likes. The lack of numerous signature animations (primarily signature shots) is a huge downer for me. Also, the lack of post game is an absolute deal breaker for me. It's developed for sure, but they've still got a long ways to go in that department. Also, the commentary is a bit stale. Breen doesn't even sound like he does on TV, lol. He sounds like hes forcing himself to be excited.

Seconded, not worth $60 to me but it is worth a purchase.
