NBA Live 15 Delayed Until October 28th, Three Short Gameplay Videos Revealed

This is VERY unimpressive. The game being delayed is, first of all, a bad sign.

The videos isn't up to next gen levels at all. Still the stiff Live feel from last year, and the visuals makes it look like an arcadey video game.

The crowd is one of the most disappointing parts of that video for me.

I dunno doesnt look like its for me. ive been happy with the other game but to say this looks the same as last years nba live is preposterous. You can tell a lot of effort has gone into this. I wish the devs good luck and I hope they can deliver a good product to those consumers looking for a change.

gameplay looks good except for the defender staying at the baseline whenever the offensive player pops out at the top of the key. foot planting, floor spacing, dribbling, looked good. still need more movement on offense. boxing out looked good. i wonder if this was in the beta stage?

I liked the three clips there, looked a lot better than Live 14 although that doesn't mean much since 14 was really bad.

Having that said there were some things that need improvement.
In the first clip what was Dwight trying to do? I'd have thought he was going to help Ariza since he's a rim protector but seemed like leaving the paint for no reason unless he wanted to defend Love leaving him open anyway, Jones should've sticked with Love and Howard protected the paint and helping LeBron's dive to the paint.
Passes still seem to be floaty, there wasn't any pass that went to the chest of their teammates, seems like they can't make hard crisp passes like Live 14 also didn't have.
I know Harden isn't a good or decent off-ball defender but is Waiters as bad as him? In two clips both got lost of their players leaving them completely open, I don't know if I should see this as a good (maybe off-ball ratings matter) or bad thing (off-ball defense is bad overall in the game).
On Harden's and LeBron's dive, shouldn't the teammates that were on the paint spread the floor? Being there only congestion the paint and make it harder for the attacker to score there.
Still very little movement on attack, is it because the Quick Action thing? I don't like it anyways.

Despite that me fear of how graphics would translate from closeups to gameplay is gone since it looks really nice, liked the spacing despite the lack of movement, it animated better and its transitions, the reaction from fans when LBJ dunked was nice (would've preferred a better audio reaction though), I don't know if I was seeing wrong but in Harden's clip Waiters seemed like he tried a steal from behind after he was beaten which was nice.

I hope they fix or improve those things that I've mentioned but overall those were nice clips in my opinion.

No sliders
Said they don't have the tech for it this year

The foot planting is beautiful to look at....


I like the shot contesting this year....they look way more appropriate


The animations are a bit fast


On ball defending seems a bit underpowered...hope its just the user rather than the mechanics.....


Cant guess what 3 weeks will improve at this time but...am guessing this will be as good as it gets at launch

Plus having it come out on the opening night for the NBA is a great time to throw a bunch of ads out there to get people excited. Those clips looked solid and I'll definitely give the Live demo a shot even though I have 2k15 pre-ordered. EA doesn't have a great track record this gen, but the Live guys have been pretty straight forward with the community so I'll give these guys the benefit of the doubt.

Disagree, many people including myself like the trailer that was released last week, thought it looked to be going in the right direction and as I've stated I haven't been much of a Live fan.

Now people who were impressed by the trailer or people who were looking for Live to finally release on time and play this game are again disappointed with yet another delay from the EA Live team. Whether people think it's a big deal or not IMO it actually is when you look at the history of Live.

People who were just on the fence after watching the trailer may need that early Oct basketball fix since a game that has over all been good and hasn't had problems releasing on time will be there in stores when it's supposed to be.

There are many people who would get both games but I'm sure there are also many people like myself who won't by 2 games that similar IE own two Basketball, Football, Baseball or COD/Battlefield games.
