NBA Live 15 Staff Impressions Ahead of Release Day

[jfrost32]

I really hope this game is good enough to compete with 2k since they have been slacking terribly the last couple of years because of no competition

Here's what I don't get. NHL 15 has lack of modes but great gameplay and gets thrashed. This one has all the modes and laughable controls and it's getting praised for being better than last year. Indy volleyball for xbox 360 was better than Live 14, thats not saying much. NHL is 5 modes away from being the greatest sports game ever, yet NBA Live was frustrating to me within 2 minutes when i struggle to gather a rebound when I time it perfectly. The fact it has an alley oops button that can be easily used as a bailout every play of the game is a disaster...I'm sure NOBODY takes advantage of that. NHL you tune up the goalies and have an unreal experience. Can we be fair? Same company...one is a deadman walking

Something I don't understand about the presentation: After FT's, you see players are about to high5 eachother (and all these rituals), but it always gets cut and there's kind of a jump-cut back to the player - before those cutscenes ever play to the end. Why did they even put it there if it always gets cut? It looks really weird, especially for a game that's trying to showcase authentic presentation.

Unless, of course, the user was pressing a button to skip it, but judging from WTF's videos, I don't think he did.

I just figured out why it does that. There is something under visual that is set to accellerated. Set it to normal and it doesn't cut out quick. I just literally figured that out.

Think they should have that set by default it does look weird

Nice. Would you set it to normal in your next video? I'd like to see the presentation at its finest.

Also, WTF, don't you find steals a bit to easy? It looks like you don't even need to spam the button, it works after 1 try...at least from some videos I watched. I wish the AI was smarter when it comes to ball handling.

That's the Automotion of the presentation.

If you ask me, they realized that the game didn't have enough setting options (with no sliders and all that) and decided to make a setting out of anything possible, so it seems like you can customize more things...

If you put the reach in foul slider at 90-100, you won't be reaching much, or else you will be fouled out. You might be fortunate to grab some steals, but if you spam, you'll get called for it.

I'll record another one with it set to normal. It makes a huge difference and I'm excited about it, haha. Itll follow guys to the bench, get set for fts, etc.
