NBA Live 15 Will Have a Gameplay Livestream Tonight on Twitch

[BrianFifaFan]

And they lost me at the LBJ dunk. Player faces are awesome. Love player scale to court. But the animations are a glaring eyesore. Not smooth at all. There was almost an NBA Jam exaggeration to anything in the air. And the numbers on the jerseys are totally off. This game looks loads better than last year. But still not up to scratch compared to any modern sports title. I was really hoping that somehow they had snuck Live 10 back in there with a new paint job. That would've been great. But this is nowhere close to that level. This is still in serious WIP stage..... Not wowed......

Looks like Live is back and I can put live 10 to bed finally.

Loved the improved passing and ability to keep momentum, fast breaks, use of the backboard and improved animations.

The "receiving a pass" animation is sloww.

but you may be able to break out of it...didn't see them so much catch and go...

[WTF]

I'll say that I normally don't do head to head play, but I may do some this year. It's fun.

For those not wowed, again, I understand but try it out for yourself. I'd about guarantee that playing against the cpu, with automotion on, on all star, guys will have a better than Live 10 experience.

First, play around in practice and do the tutorials so you'll understand some more of the controls.

Yeah, are they trying to show how good the game is or not? I don't get this logic. Just doesn't make sense. You're showcasing a game and you're trying to make it look worse?

I think it's the same situation as with Live 08. Was definitely a better game than the horrible 07, but that didn't make it such a great game either. Hopefully some day they will release Live 10 for next-gen.

I don't know what it is but it definitely has that "Live" look to it. Ever since Live 06 the animations in Live have been stiff & awkward looking. You guys know what I mean when I say it still has that Live awkwardness to the animations. As someone stated earlier, it's definitely a big improvement over Live 14 but lets face it....the bar was set extremely low to begin with. I give kudos to EA for putting in the effort & trying to put out a quality basketball game & I'm all for competition, but it seems as though Live 15 is competing with Live 10 & not the current competition. I'll give the demo a try but it looks like EA still has an uphill battle in front of them. EA Sports as a whole (with the exception of Fifa & Nhl) needs to really work on their animation quality going forward. After all this is NEXT GEN we're talking about. Just my 2 cents.

Oh & why is it that a lot of 2K15's player models are too skinny whereas Live 15's look like they're on roids? Can't we have a happy medium? Lol

If a gameplay dev can chime in-

Do foul frequencies (since there are no sliders) increase once you move up in difficulty?

There was a decent amount of fouls. But with all of the contact and physics, will/can there be more and-1 situations?
