NBA Live 15 Available Now For EA Access Subscribers, Post Your Impressions

[Gorilla Glass]

I got in two games last night and really enjoy it. The flow, the spacing was all there, but I couldn't get a feel for the shooting. Right now it seems like luck. Maybe I was tired or maybe I shouldn't have skipped the tuT. lol

Anyways, the fast break game is awesome and I will be saying "Xbox record that" a lot this year online

Graphical improvements are definitely on display. The arenas are beautiful. SOME players are beautiful. Supposedly EA will tighten up the body types throughout the year and that's a good thing. lol

Presentation is on point. It will draw you in unless you lost. lol


Overall, I would give it an 8.5 out of 10, for my time with it thus far.

I turned auto motion to auto instead of manual in the game settings and this remedied that for me. I was having the same concern.

Where is the auto motion in the settings? Thanks!

Just look around in the settings menu in game, it's really not hard to find. I would give you more info, but I am at my desk at work. Not in front of my One at the moment.

First quick impression. This game has that fun factor that has been missing from 2k for a few years for me. Could be because it reminds me of Live 10, like 32 was saying to me this AM.

I think right below auto subs or nit far from it in settings.

The rare moment when having a PS4 is a disadvantage....


I just want you guys to know I hate you....just for the moment....
I can't wait to experience the good and bad for myself

As far as visual/streaming impressions as I've watched live late last night the game seemed like it was getting progressively worse then when EA did their own stream...

Maybe because of user skill or a patchless early access and EA actually played the game with all the bells and whistles idk

Seems like a lot of fun though certain stuff looked funky though.

Well, might as will chip in with my early pros and cons.

PROS

• A very impressive game from a visual standpoint, barring a few hitches here and there. Arenas and player models look fantastic.
• Loving the ESPN presentation.
• The responsiveness of the controls is incredibly refreshing.
• Crowd sounds are done so well that it literally gave me goosebumps once during a "Finals Atmosphere" game.
• Much improved ball/rim physics. Still needs a little tweaking ball-wise, but a lot less floaty than last year.
• Shooting feels great -- especially with some of the nicer signature shots I've tried.
• Dribble moves might be a little too easy, but it's still incredibly fun to pull them off.

CONS

• Commentary is a relatively generic, for the most part. In the future, the NBA Live series has got to move beyond calling out who has the ball and who made the shot.
• Something is off with the proportions of player sizes versus courts. Everyone looks really small. Can't decide if this is due to the camera angles or not just yet.
• Is it me, or are do the jersey numbers on the back of the jerseys, as well as the names, look really weird? The letters are super small, and the numbers are massive and blocky.
• Still some weird animations going on from time to time -- mostly with post moves, from what I've experienced so far.
• It's a little too easy to drive to the paint for easy buckets right now. A patch will need to address that before we start seeing an onslaught of And1-styled players dominating the online experience.
• From an overall standpoint, this game is way too offense-oriented. Too easy to hit shots, and superstar players feel like glorified "win-buttons" right now. Needs more ebb and flow.
• AI player movement needs to improve. Players stand still way too often, and hopefully we'll see some more organic movement after a few patches.
• Certain players have dead eyes -- kind of that expressionless glazed over look. Somewhat diminishes how accurate they look.
