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

I really didn't enjoy a second of my time on Live. Animations are bad, not a fan of the controls, didn't care for the gameplay.

Graphics are decent but other than that I didn't like what I played.

Glad some people enjoy it.

After spending a hr playing, i have to say Live 15 isn't a sim gam. With that being said, don't get me wrong, there are some great fundamental aspect of BBall in this game. And it extremely FUN, CONTROLLING, AND REWARDING.The game delivers in the area of immersion. You feel like your watching a nba broadcast. I had a lot of fun playing, surprised me actually. Gameplay needs work. At times it plays smooth and animates beautifully. Then there are times where things get wacky, misses rebounds and locked into animations, weird being this game is physics based. But still enjoyed my experience. This is a major step in right direction. Players that got scanned look incredible, most of them. I think skin tones are still a issue for me personally, but i can over look that. They just need to hammer out old gen animation system and redo entire thing and i think that will be the defining moment of Live return. Plus giving us back editing options. All in all, great fun time. Deciding whether to buy first day now is my only issue. Game shows much promise. I can tell you one thing, its hard going back to the other game when you experience the control and graphical beauty of the arenas, courts, shoes, accessories, etc. BBall is about more than gameplay, and this game delivers on the immersion aspect, just inconsistent gameplay flow kills it at time due to wonky animation system and occasional weird physic stuff. I think next yr, EA will gain a significant part of the market again if they stay focused and not revamp over. This is the foundation to build on. EA, is getting back into the game. I'm a diehard 2k fan, baball fan. this will be in my collection. I will support the direction, just don't screw it up from here EA.

I like how you can play with authority around the rim, meaning solid dunks, mean blocks, thunderous put backs, swats that bang off the backboard, etc.

These are big athletic dudes who can bring it, this game does a really good job of replicating that.

For guys having issues on defense around the basket, don't forget that you can press steal as guys are going up to attempt to strip the offense. Even on fast breaks. It's all about timing too. I've seen some very cool ones today.

I think this game is showing that a game doesn't have to be hardcore sim to be fun. Sim is a nice way to go but having an alternative is nice.

I honestly never thought about it that way

I am actually glad there is this type of alternative available because if both were super sim I would not even entertain a video basketball game.

Love the ESPN camera angle. The skin tones are EXCELLENT! Can't wait to pick this up. I need a break from 2k. The game seems fun. Give them another year.
