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

[WTF]

They have some sweeping hooks, some quick "push" shots (funny, because all of Marion's shots are "push" shots, lol). In the post, and anywhere on the floor I think, you can use the RB Modifier for a bank shot and/or a "special type" of shot. I've seen some pretty fluid moves in the post, I just have to mess around and see how I'm triggering them. I know it has to do with the modifier, but I'm not sure exactly when to push it to trigger. I'll play around with it some more and see if I can answer more clearly for you all.

Here's a Clippers vs Jazz (that was requested, not sure why)

I was the Clippers. I threw some cheesy oops, but just because it was available to me. One of the coolest ones wasn't completed, as I threw one from Half Court with Chris Paul. It was intercepted, but Jordan called for it, and I threw it.

I love the first possession of that game though. The movement passing down in the block to Blake, kicking up top to Barnes, over to CP3, then calling for a pick, having everyone else clear out for the PnR with Jordan. It was pretty sweet.

Bucks (me) at Raptors

I like the first play of the game again, where I took Jabari and broke them down off the dribble, cue the euro, and ended up missing the shot. It was very organic though. This is the game that I was highly preoccupied, which lead to some pretty horrific play on my part, but still. I'll own it

[WTF]

I'll get you one in BKN tonigh to Pack.

That's what I'm saying. Was shocked when I saw an earlier post saying this was the hardest game ever!!!

Heh. Live developers never said this was their aim. In fact, they try to point out the nuanced sim aspects, but you'll have Live fans in one moment make claims about how much more sim it is than the other game, and then praise it for how not sim it is compared to the other game the next or liking posts of that sentiment.

I think "Live is supposed to be less sim" is an excuse some fans make to justify Live's shortcomings. It's fine if that's what they enjoy but let's not pretend it's part of some master design philosophy when the devs themselves don't dare to claim it.

What are you talking about Sundown ?

Will definitely be picking this up. I was one of the few that actually appreciated last year's game so the decision was easy.

Two things I'd like to see improved is that too many "semi-contested" and open 3's are made. It's almost always a gimme for the CPU (on allstar at least) for it to go in if I'm not right on top of the shooter. Also there needs to be more variety with ball physics on made baskets from distance. Too many pure swishes. Need them to sometimes "rattle" in or skim the back iron and drop straight down, etc...

Hey WTF. I am really thinking about getting this game. I just want to play something different. Are you posting any games on YouTube or are you just posting on twitch?
