NBA Live 15 and First In-Game Update Available Today, Post Your Impressions

Anyone wanna share play this with me on PS4?

I'd like to try it out

Really enjoying the DEMO with all the settings on that folks here suggested.


The game is very 'organic' and I see different things almost every time I play. Saw a great drive by Kyrie where he drove and then kicked out to Love via a great pass for three. Watched the replay multiple times and it just looked like a completely unscripted basketball play. I collapsed by D, he was halted, turned and saw Love open...Excellent stuff.


I really want some sort of guarantee that there WILL be constant updates post release though before I buy it. LIVE 14's "hourly roster and tendency updates" were more like monthly.


I'd also like to know that the late game AI issue WILL be fixed.


If we know those things will happen...I will be buying this thing for sure.

This is a CPU vs CPU game

This is my 3rd one I've done and noticed that steals are extremely low every time.

Opening night rosters should be a priority for any sports game.


The EA roster guy is active on here...can he chime in and guarantee us rosters will be regularly updated?


I paid full price for LIVE 14 and got badly burnt. Remember this?

I love the "other game" this year but I bought live after seeing the feedback here. I played it exclusively for a couple of days and I must admit, maybe it's me but I'm surprised at some of the over the top praise.

Presentation/Graphics - much improved like everyone has noted but that was the expectation. There is actually something that pops off the screen with the scanned players and arenas but when you compare the games it's not as drastic a difference as some would have you to believe.

Gameplay - I completely understand the "it's different mindset" but man this game drives me crazy. The control is not as tight as I expected and the players play almost identical to each other with the exception of a big dunker or great shooter. The AI is not yet up to par and maybe upcoming patches will address this. The animations still are not close to what they need to be at this point. Shooting is not as rewarding, release it super quick or it's too late. The blocks are outstanding and the pace is very good as most have mentioned.

Also, the game feels very arcade like, this isn't necessarily a bad thing but the inability to customize the experience is disappointing.

Do I regret buying Live 15...no. The thing is that after I went back to 2k after a few days I had a different appreciation for what it offers. The fact that we have competition is great for all of us that love hoops games but Live isn't ready just yet.

I haven't played Live in years but there is something about the demo that I really enjoy.

At the same time, it makes me really want to play the other game. I think I'm gonna get both.

my only complaints at the moment from more time with the game is the alley oops cheese and the suction animations in the paint. Its driving me crazy.

I just played the first NBA rewind game. I have no clue what difficulty it's on, I know for one thing it's on rockets win difficulty because the amount of cheese in the game was unbearable.

I drew 3 charges that were no calls, harden went 10/10 from 3 pt range despite me doubling him after the first.

Aldridge would miss a two footer with little pressure but chandler friggin parsons would dunk on 3 of my players playing ole defense.

Untold amounts of ticky tack fouls called on me. Only way I was able to pull it off was to full court press and try to steal constantly and shoot 3's. Of course Lilliard wide open can't hit a 3 sometimes while harden with 2 on him knocks them down.

The main thing I took from the game other than complete frustration that winning it doesn't make it count as "cleared" was that the replay system is the worst in a sports game.

Well, not the replay system, the replay buffer system. Look at fifa where you can go back 5 minutes. In live you can go back 20 seconds? But only if you catch it in time. If something crazy happens and the CPU calls timeout right after it the buffer clears.

This can't be how it's supposed to work, for both things, rewind and replay.
