Hahaha, yes the Xbox One belongs to my son, I own the PS4 - I'm thinking I may need to use his console more often, it's definitely a very noticeable difference, much more than I would've ever expected.

That would make sense, especially given EA and MS current agreement.

Yes, will buy it every future EA sports game for the Xbox One.

The lack of face editing does not bother me so much, but I can see how it would bother others. And how my performance is graded seems pretty reasonable and fair. The issue bothering me is substitution patterns. For the first five games I would play most of the first half and the first half of the third quarter, and then I'm out the rest of the game. And I was having good games. I want to be in near the end of the game (that's the best part in my opinion). The last game I played was better as I played most of the 4th quarter and was in at the end of the game. I am guessing this has to do with your clutch rating in that if it is too low, you will not be in near the end of the game. I raised it a little for the last game and played most of the 4th quarter. The other issue is that I'm playing on the Knicks and Melo's substitution patters are inconsistent. There are times he sits out most of the 2nd quarter after having a huge first quarter. Or sits out a lot of the 3rd quarter. Like I said, I am enjoying this game mode, but the above issues have bothered me somewhat.

Thanks for the impressions guys! I watched some vids and the lack of customization (appearance, animations) really is a disappointment for me, esp after watching my brother last night create his myplayer in 2k and seeing all the editing options in there (he had an amazing facescan btw, it was surreal the first time seeing him in the game).

Regarding the shoes, you can actually choose other brand shoes, but only after you've been drafted by a team. It's only for the Jordan Take Flight showcase game that you're limited to Jordan and Jordan brand shoes. Saw it in this vid (skip to 3:55):


So are your jumpshot/freethrow/dribbling animations just randomly selected? Is it the same no matter what position you choose? I'm hoping at least it's somewhat dictated by the play style you choose.

The sub issue (coach not making any subs) is problematic, and I can't see myself playing this mode too if it stays that way. Hopefully it gets fixed. The inconsistent sub patterns, I think I can live with.

Are there options for season length, and mins per quarter?

I much prefer Live's mode over 2k's story-driven/narrative MyCareer mode, so hopefully we'll get a huge upgrade for Live 16 esp in player customization.

The Xbox One is the choice IMO for EA sports games over the PS4.

Yes the game plays a lot different from the the ps4 version for some reason, had a couple more hours left on my trail for Xbox tried it out and there was jus something different besides having the halftime show, so I trade in the ps4 version for the box. Win, win.

@rafaelpaulo84 thanks for the vid!!!!! Didn't know you could switch shoes. Hopefully they fix the substitution problem asap because rising star is a fun mode.

Yes you can choose season length and how much mins u want to playper quarter.

I'm playing on the PS4 and I'm loving the game. Although, I would like to see a fix for steals, it's way too easy to get them. I feel like I'm cheating it happens so much.
