Defensive Improvements in NBA Live 15 with New Video

[mike24forever]

The video looks great, but all I kept looking at were the shoes! Oh my goodness, the shoes are amazing.

Looks a lot like last years but smoothed out a little more

Probably because the game doesn't actually look that way. Notice how the Live 14 clips are all shown from boring, static angles more representative of game play where you can really see the animation issues. The Live 15 shots are all mostly glamour close ups with rapid changes in cinematic angles and feet are rarely shown except when slowed down. There's quite a bit of dressing up here, just as there was for Live 14.

That said I'm pretty sure the game will look a whole lot better than last year's release.

Those defensive improvements look really good. Anyway we will see if this game actually looks like this because the flood gates will open up in 5 more days.

Say, do players in Madden 15 don't look as detailed when you zoom in on the players in the instant replay camera? Most people nowadays take pictures of the players and tweet them to the Madden twitter account.



Like this picture for example.

I'm sure Live will good as good up close as the pictures we've seen....I never understood why EA's games don't look as good in motion though...same goes for NHL & Madden...

I really hope these improvements work as advertised online . 1 on 1 on ball defense has been lacking in recent BBall titles Online

From what I've heard live 's quick play button created motion ( cuts, screens, ect) which is basically like choosing when you want freelance movement to happen. 2k smart play does save a lot of time when wanting to call a set play and works really well for me with the mavs and could improve live's play calling. They atleast should be able to have auto play calling. It was just a suggestion.
