On Pro, it seemed that the CPU would nail everything on me. Once I switched to All Star, the FG % for both me and the CPU have hovered around the 50% mark. I just need to work on my post game. Been playing better D as well. I think EA has done a great job with improving the game and making it fun to play.

I'm curious to see what the Day 1 patch will do. I was up at 4:30am this morning and went downstairs and fired this game up and I've come to the realization that I am a EA/Nba Live FANBOY. As much as I want to go with 2K for what most call "Sim" my heart makes me fire this up.

I'm not gonna go with someone else's Impressions any longer in regards to this game.

I PURCHASED I PURCHASED I PURCHASED. NBA LIVE 15 you've won me back!!!!! Fellows say this game is "Arcade" well hell I guess it is if you play it that way. If you play it "Sim" it yields "Sim" results.

2K15 is a helluva game but it goes back in the morning. I'm laying in bed with NBA LIVE 15 for Xbox One and my wife Amber of course.

Thank you EA for bringing me back to where B-Ball gaming all started for me with Lakers vs Celtics 1991 on Sega Genesis in Fresno, Ca. Oh how I've missed you!!!!

Yeah they seem to have added a Fun FACTOR back into the series more than anything....

Now don't get me wrong I want to see the players and teams play like they should and the animations are still lagging behind for a XBOX One game but as mentioned before I plan to get it at some point and play it my way in a SIM manner of course LOL!

I'm not sure what exactly is on the arising in terms of a patch but if they tweaked it just a tad more for the Final retail version then that would be great.

The word "FUN" PM is what did it. I have fun!!!! 2K I feel like I'm working and sometimes when I get off work or after a kids football/Bball game I just want to have fun. This game fills that hunger/void.

Now 2K has it all and let's not get it twisted it has waaay more to offer but PM I'm not getting any younger man I just want to enjoy and hour or so of video ballin when time permits.

I am what I am and simply put I am a LIVE FANBOY. I LOVE EA

2K15 guys enjoy what that game has to offer because its a "BEAST" but for me I just want to have fun and LIVE 15 is just that "FUN"

[WTF]

There were several of us that said we wanted "FUN" to be in our game. If its not fun, then I don't have time for it. The game that I played against the Knicks, I was mentally on edge, but I was having a blast. Every time I'd get close, they'd pull away. The animations weren't perfect, but I didn't care. The thing that I did care about was the challenge. It didn't feel scripted, I didn't feel cheated, they went on an organic run and I felt like there was nothing I could do. Made a few changes (Left Left on the D-Pad) to focus on superstars, set it to double Melo, Tight on and off ball, and I put Lebron on him. They started going elsewhere, other guys were chipping in for them. I stayed patient, and ended up getting the score to 6... then 4... then 2, then I finally took the lead.


Game is flat out fun.

The biggest thing I want, is for more and more OS'ers to pick up the game. The more that I have your guys' voice during events, the better WE can make the game. Thanks to all who are picking it up and going in with an open mind. Truly appreciate it.

Second is lack of play art. Unfortunately I can't run an NBA offense without any indication of what my players are doing. Makes it really difficult to get open shots. I'm enjoying the game so far otherwise.

There is play art my man you just have to find it. I've seen a couple videos where guys are using it.

Yeah, play art is there. You have to call a play in order for it to come up. Hold down either left, right or up on the dpad. Those are you're different plays.

Jano, I'll shoot you a PM in a few

cosign 100%
and I never understood what that fun statement is all about.. Fun is so vague.
is it fun because its easy to pick up and play, is it fun because it isnt trying to be sim?
folks need to clarify.
what I get from the statement of "fun" is,- its fun because its not 2k, nothing more, nothing less.

I set it to show but now that you mention it I think I was running quick plays by double tapping the d-pad.

I'll test it when I get home.

Flight hit the nail on the head as far as fun goes. The past two years playing 2K has felt like an exercise in frustration. I play games to have fun.
