LeBron more active but Varejao playing with his back to the basket and spinning and shaking every 2-3 times down the floor. Cleveland not missing any threes or under the basket shots. Funny though I got Bosh in two situations somehow where the animation for him was a right hand shot. I thought an issue with the animation once but it happened twice, lol. You feel like they were close to not providing the ultimate experience but providing a solid outing. Unfortunately all combined for me leaves it short. We harp on it but user customisation is huge and combined with the on court issues (which may be fine tuned), it just leaves the game lacking.

Hey does LBJ play any Point Forward in this game?

Does he initiate the offense in Live 15 or bring the ball up court?

I am enjoying this game but it is disappointing that the halftime and post game is broken.

No, he does not, everything coming down the court is initiated via the PG.

OOk, so I see a lot of people praising the game graphically...and I can myself say at some points I am pretty blown away by some of the cut scenes! Not the actual game because the game in motion from most game cameras isn't very good and we all know that it does animate very well. The game is step above Live 14 I'll say that, but given what Live 14 was, I still don't think we are getting the game we all want and deserve with EA basketball! It just leaves a lot to be desired IMHO.

Other small things that just kill immersion factor for me, on all tip offs from center court (are there even in tie ups and jump balls from anywhere else) are tipped to the PG and no else! C'mon man! Next, there are way too many swishes! Almost if not 95% of 3 pointers are swishes! It's the little things that doesn't do well that kills it for me. I'm on record now here saying that officially I maybe giving up on Live. It's a shame to, because it used to be my preferred option over the competition...that couldn't be further from the truth for me now though.

Change your tempo to "push" on Fastbreaks and it works just fine. Game is great and I love it for what it is. I don't want another 2k....I personally want a fun game to play and Live has that in spades over 2k.

Well I took WTF advice and upped the difficulty to Superstar and its like night and day. Games plays totally different from AS.

I'm getting Halftime shows and if they could fix the Non OOB and give me some damn UP TO DATE ROSTERS then I would be a lot happier than I am now.

Just got a def 3 seconds was happy to have that happen

You are on Xbox One right Flight ? I haven't seen a halftime show since the day 1 update on PS4.

I'm going to exchange my game for NBA 2K 15 unfortunately, there are just too many holes in this game in its current state. I just don't believe it's a $60 game and won't be this year. I love tinkering with lineups and such for the AI and building up teams with the franchise mode of BB games, here this is never going to be possible. I love what EA has done for the foundation, though as of now, this game is just missing too many features in comparison to their counterpart. I'm also irritated by the Ultimate Team concept, cashed in ten gold packs didn't get one legend, now realize legends are separate packs, what gives. Why would someone pay real money to play with current players that you can on the counterparts game for free, I just don't get it. So I'm to pay real money to use Kevin Love, Brandon Knight or others just to play online, oh yeah... I love the gameplay of Live 15, though its so bare bones when it comes to teams, I miss not being able to play against the classic teams and to drop a legend or two on some struggling team in franchise mode. I will be back next year if they add more functions to this game, will actually pick it up again this year if a lot is added over the next few months. Just not going to wait after paying $60 for it, when there is a more substantial offering for the same price.
