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

[Mikesthyme]

Ok, Just so I am clear.. EA is saying there won't be a dynasty mode in NBA LIVE 15? or there will not be an upgrade version from LIVE 14? Myself I'm a dynasty head.. love trading for future talent and seeing if derrick Rose can play the entire NBA season without injury.. If they take this mode out I probaby will just get nba 2k.. smdh

It will be there . It won't have many changes but does have improved simming . Some elements of that mode are present in other modes though

Would say this, after yesterdays news my excitement has done almost a 180 degree turn ...

I mean, I wasnt previously sure to buy a 2015 nba game but my interest was mostly on this game ... then those news got my interest back to a point of I am certaint to buy that other game (unless a major letdown of gameplay), even if not right away.

I havent lost interest on this game tho, but emotions have not spiked as the other one, hopefully Live can manage to make a good game so I can enjoy of having two options.

how can they base it on data when no ones playing live the past 5yrs. Features are just bonus at this point. I just hope they make a playable game this time. Last years demo was not even worth the download, waste of time and gigabytes. We need competition to keep 2k from slacking

Being that I've become almost strictly a BAP mode player. I'm instantly intrigued that they won't taking gamers down this fantasy road that 2K is taking it's gamers down. In favor of player development. If the gameplay is on par with the graphics I'll likely support EA this year.

Every year I get excited about a dynasty mode. Every year I stop playing dynasty mode.

I think EA is right but that doesn't mean it should be ignored.

The lesson here is 2K making that same mistake and realizing people want that option, even if they eventually abandon it.

Live will see the errors of their way in ignoring a mode that less people want.

If the goal is to get people to try the game, offer them modes they want to play. Even one person can help push a title forward. Isn't that basically their mantra at this stage of their market position?

Good run down of what they have in store for us with this year's title, but I still have an issue with how they are going about promoting this game. Why just give us one shot of Damian Lillard and his player model? Why not give us a full body shot of other various players so we can see a comparison between those body types? They need to stop playing this game of wait to see what the other basketball game is going to drop, and then make their move. They have to forget what the other side is doing and try to focus on restoring their brand. The only way they are going to do this is by continuing to be more transparent with the community. I'm not telling them to give us gameplay info now. I just want to see other player models since the focus for this year is graphics, gameplay, and presentation.

I just dont see what damage a robust mode like that will do to your game. I think alot of people would play it, but you can't expect anyone to like something you don't care about if you know what I mean.

Also its not like Dynasty mode was good in Live 14. It was as bare bones as can be. No editing. No 30 team control. No sliders.

As great as the gameplay in 15 could be (and I have my doubts), I need a reason to play. Especially since I'm not an online guy. I cant just play quick games and their Live Seasons mode. I tried that with NBA2k14 and I hated it because the games didnt mean anything. If I won or lost it didnt matter because nobody's record changed and the stats werent saved.

Also I'm surprised at how forgiving a group people seem to be here. The developer outright admits that 14 wasnt ready for release and that they released it anyway. Why would that make me confident they are going to release a solid game this year?
