Yeah, I am serious with that one. The game has more pressing issues to address obviously, but not everyone in the NBA wears jerseys so loose.

This game is so much fun against another user !

I keep seeing people say they only take 3's and drive. Have u not seen the NBA the past few years. The 3pt shot has taken over. They barely shoot mid range shots. Quick question though. I mostly play sports games. Which system should I get Xbox 1 or PS4?

I am really enjoying this game. I love how superstars play like it. And on that note, **** Steph Curry. Tore me up in my last game.

Glad to see you like it Marino.

And Steph... yeah.

Finally finshed my 6 hour trial (shows you how much time I have to play games), overall I enjoyed it they made an huge improvment over last year. But after going back and playing NBA 2K15 Live is not even close to being anywhere near as good gameplay wise.
With that being said, I kinda miss Live 15 as a change of pace game, will probably pick it up when I see it on Craigslist for 20-30 dollars.

Having fun with the game, but there is a lot of wonkiness for sure.

CONS:

-Rebounding still feels predetermined. This is a legacy issue that I would like to see addressed. Some user control here would be nice. Not a huge deal, but still kinda irks me.

- Customization has to be an absolute MUST for next year. I've only played a couple of games, but I've noticed the scoring seems a bit high IMO. It would be nice to turn down 3pt accuracy, encourage the mid range game a bit more.

- Seeing ball warping at times - this is more of a bug/QA issue that I think can easily be addressed

- Need to incorporate more/better animations without sacrificing control.

- Post game needs better animations and more variety of shots. As a Mavs fan, the Dirk one legger has got to be redone. It's downright atrocious, but I appreciate the effort.

-would like to see more variety in ball/rim/net interactions. Seems like every shot from three is a swish. There is variety in the mid to close range shots though.

PROS:

-Atmosphere! Definitely feels like an NBA game/broadcast. The crowd is live, the music, PA announcer all gives the illusion of being at a game. Nailed it!

-It's visually stunning. Very easy on the eyes.

-Love the variety of and ones. Seems very realistic.
-Game play is improved. I'm glad the player momentum issue from last year has been addressed. I can get to and finish at the rack now!

-Defense has been improved. Like the hedge animations for on ball screens. Blocking has been improved. I think some more options can be added though.

-ESPN cameras and presentation add a level of immersion that just isn't possible on other games. Fake "networks" just don't do it for me.

All in all, I'm very happy with the purchase and progress of the franchise and I'd give it a solid 6.5/10 if I had to assign a score. Time to keep stacking improvements (no more holding back, no more regression) I expect Live 16 and the other game to be a toe-to-toe slugfest next year. The industry needs Live!
