Not sure if I should be concerned or not but I now have had 2 freezes since last night. Hope this isn't an issue

After seeing all the improvement and still needing more in Live 14 I was eager to try 15. I love my NBA games no matter who makes them. I'm loving Live 15 they have made grand strides this year and with any luck if they keep going they'll have a product worthy of competing with 2K. I just think that Live plays a tremendous game of basketball, yes there are still a few wonky animations (nothing like last year) and a few average faces but on the whole its much closer go where they need to be and they should be commended. I have pre ordered on Xbone already and can't wait to delve deeper. 2K the great video game that it is is just stale to me so I'm hanging to play some more Live this year that actually looks and plays pretty darn well. I'll be again playing Live for my 5 on 5 fix and playing my player on 2K

Just had a great game on AS 5 min qtrs Lakers(ME) vs Hornets. I beat the wheels off them 57-37.

Best defensive effort I've played with the short time I've had. I held them to 40% FG and they went 2-12 3pt shots. Had 4 blocks and 2 steals.

Defense in this game is WAY more realistic than its competition imo. When you guard someone and if it's done correctly the chance for them to be successful goes way down.

Yeah it has some "Wonky" animations but they are so far and few and I think it has a lot to do with the way I play. I run plays almost always unless the FB is obvious and then I push it. I take high % shots and I don't force things often.

The more I play and with the update the game just gets better

Teams do play different. Players play different imo. My advice is to take the time to learn the controls and it opens this game wide open

Next time you get a chance, do a game with some non exciting teams. Like a Memphis-Charlotte matchup, lol.

I did a Bucks at Raptors one that's archived. I'll post the link shortly. Derozan killed me. Every single basket of his was at the hoop.

I was preoccupied, not the greatest game ever, but you can still see some good stuff.

I hope in the retail version (patched) that the game is more challenging. I'm playing at SUPERSTAR level and I have yet to lose a game - even against the elite teams. I've had a couple of close games but most have been blowout wins.

This concerns me a bit.

Gotchu, I'll check it out when I get a chance. Was seeing everyone run with the Cavs or Knicks or Lakers or Thunder or Spurs, I didn't see any love being shown for the "dull" teams.

I'm really curious to see how the Nets look in this game and also if they got the "Brooooooklynnnnnn" chant in there as well.

WTF I didn't get a chance to test this, but I know you play with the Cav's who have Marion...

How is your experience in the mid post area? Guys like him who use a lot of hooks, push shots in the lane to score haven't really been as effective in past Live's to me because they didn't have the animations to reflect it. Have they added any of those?
