Whats the day 1 patch supposed to fix ?

The 2 things that are bothering me enough to shake my head, is I'm still seeing way too many slingshot rebound animations, and your CPU defender shadowing you constantly because he's reading your controller input instead of reacting to your movements.

I know there is no way to implement real life physics into the game, but if at least some of these physics based issues can be made more realistic it would go a long way towards realistic gameplay.



AND PLEASE AT LEAST IMPLEMENT A GAME SPEED SLIDER, this is huuuuuuuuge.... I know massive set of sliders is impossible at this time, but if they gave us a game speed slider at least we can control the overall pace of the players and make it more realistic

Is the lag much better than last year?

Really enjoying the game. Had a few people over last night to check it out. 1 is a die hard 2k player and the other just a gamer in general. Both agreed that Live had a different vibe to it and really had fun playing it. They actually couldn't believe that it had stepped up its game so much this year. They just about used up the rest of my 6 hours. Darn. But was worth it because 1 of them went to Gamestop and preordered it this morning. He said it felt different and he was feeling it. He also was feeling the soundtrack too. But the atmosphere blew him away especially when the announcer started chanting "defense" in a deep, cryptic voice. They said it was all the little stuff that they were liking and the fact that Shephen Curry was killing me. I normally do big Madden tournaments during Thanksgiving weekend every year. Now they want to include Nba Live. Funny how things change. Now Live is respectable and enjoyable again. Next year should be even better.

Great post on the live fun factor. This is why I want user/guest accounts for online. Playing with friends, making the extra pass and kicking out for 3's is so much fun with a group of people and even more satisfying when it's against an online opponent or opponents.

Sucks I gotta wait til the 28th to try this out though but I'm liking what I see so far.

I agree!/my only wish is is that they improve their animations to make the game more realistic. Everything seems to be super quick from shooting to passingand a lot of the player mute movements don't look right sometimes. But I can see how this will be fun to people it is not a very difficult game to pick up and learn so it is welcoming to casuals. Compared to NBA Live 14 this is a major upgrade. Now everything isn't great about it it is missing a lot of the little things gameplay wise that 2k has but overall its a great package. I am looking forward to NBA Live 16

I dont like the dribbling feels like you have no control
Defenders dont switch on the perimeter leaving shooters wide open
And the half time show could be good but its too long, they need to cut some of those sectoins out, like the shot chart, really?
Post moves are terrible, if I see one more 1980's hook shot!
Games seems to be harder than it was on the first couple days (which is good)
Too many strait up jump shots in/near the paint
Ball goes through defenders on some layup animations
The graphics are nice with the exception of some players
Animations still need alot of work but way better than 14
Overall a decent game.

As far as lag goes, they've made huge improvements compared to last year.

Gameplay, on the other hand, still needs some tweaks Post defense is still almost nonexistent. No matter the contact, my opponent just kept making everything in the paint.

Opponents can still stick to your ball handler all the way up the court, no matter who you have. There is no reason why D. Rose shouldn't blow past Steve Nash when Steve keeps reaching for the ball.

Besides those complaints, it's actually fun to play online with LIVE again. Hope that Day One patch fixes some of those things.
