NBA Live 15 Interview with Executive Producer Sean O'Brien

[Bowinkle08]

im only on page 3 of the interview. i like what im reading so far but i think the modes will lack because they are focusing on game play and visuals.

I wanted that online team play so bad this year...but the fact they mentioned NHL and FIFA style team play...yea, that is going to be amazing.

Well with EA access I will be able to give the game a try for a little bit. Not sure if I will gt it because nba live 14 was a pretty bad game. On the flip side nba 2k14 looked great but the longer I played it the more the game started to let me down. Hopefully EA has at least a competitive basketball game this year.

Awesome read, sounds like more gameplay improvement than anything which is fine, the series needed it. Really hoping it does well.

This is year 2 of the 3 year plan so maybe next year they focus on modes. With their history gameplay is focus

I enjoyed the part about it not being about revenue and selling the game. That could be PR speak.. but honestly that has to be a reality for this team.

If EA is expecting this game to make them major bucks then they might as well shut it down now. I appreciated the interview a lot especially how honest he was about certain aspects of the game.

Even the disappointing parts like Dynasty mode. I'm interested to see the motion control on video. The fact that they are going to bring back the passing controls from Live 10 had me intrigued as well.

I'm ready for another brand of NBA basketball so hears to hoping EA keeps this franchise around.

This BS again. I hate this sort of speak from sports devs...It just tells everyone who bought their game last year that they bought a broken title. I can't trust people like that with $60.

Once again, talk is cheap...Wait and see mode.

What concepts from dynasty exactly? As you all know I am one of the biggest Nba live Stans around but dynasty was very bad!
