NBA Live 15 Gameplay Videos (Instagram)

Even if it is going to be an option, I can't understand why it wouldn't be on be default. If you have an important feature like that which makes the difference between whether the game plays realistic or not, how can you default it to be unrealistic if you're trying to make a sim game.

So considering that, I can jive with Tiburon providing an option like this and think it's an improvement over trying to create the one mode fits all, like in the past. Especially considering NBA Live 15 will not have sliders.

Options are always a good thing...

It's just that i'm not quite sure what the point of having the option to turn it off is, lol

That's my point. Sim players and arcade players both want off ball movement. Who the hell doesn't want off ball movement?

I'm sure we'd all be surprised at the gamers that might want it turned off, the point is there are gamers out there that prefer NBA Live play like NBA Live, not real basketball. It doesn't take a lot of imagination to consider some casual gamer getting pissed because a player on their team or a User opponents team, flashes the paint or is just running around the court in general on their own. Believe me some gamers see stuff like that as "the game playing for you" and "video games are meant to be played not watched".

I couldn't careless about that POV though, as long as they provide options and settings to get the most realistic game play possible.

I didn't mind the videos. But here's something that's been an issue...

I think a lot of users here on OS are so used to being forced to play the game of basketball a certain way after so many years of only having a single title to choose from. NBA Live will, and has always, displayed the game in a completely different manner than the other title. With that being said, I think some people will be pleasantly surprised when they get a chance to try this game, and if they make an attempt at being good at it.

I liked live 14 because it felt like I could make decisions I would actually make on a basketball court to get the results I wanted. It just didn't look natural because of the lack of animation technology. From a purely basketball standpoint this game has a lot of promise. I can't even take a lot of the users on this site seriously anymore.

I see no harm on having such option, to turn it off ... I remember that there was a thread last year, on the competing title section

Spoiler

2k14

and prior to last year release, about off ball movement and there were plenty of users asking for no off ball movement at all ... I recall Da-Czar, late in the dev cycle, letting the devs know this and that they even implemented a feature to have off ball movement by context, no off ball movement at all, etc ... I am certaint because I suggested him about making it options like, so users could decide which form of basketball suit them best ... thus it only applyed to users teams and not to all ... wish it was and on a per team bases, so I could try and further differentiate good offenses from bad.

What I dont understand tho, is why is off by default (I would like it on and to me, seems more in line with what we see on the tv) ... then again, take my comment as a grain of salt within a huge cube of water, as didnt played Live 14.

In essence, never underestimate the power of giving more options to users, the implications in terms of appealing to a broaden target are inmense.
