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

I really like the releases better on live than 2k. I never realized that 2k has many releases incredibly too slow .

With that said the releases are a bit too fast here

This game only saving grace is the halftime and post game show. There are games when the game is fun and then there are games were the AI becomes gods. Nick Adams of the Thunder had 20 rebounds against me. And to be honest, Ilbaka was hitting way too many shots against me that he could never hit in real life. It stuff like that, scrub players playing way above themselves because the CPU decided they want to win is what grinds my gears the most.

Also the blatant charging the CPU does that RARELY gets called is another gear grinder. Add to that the ride the invisible wall baseline cheese the CPU loves to do is annoying as hell. EA needs to patch all that stuff. Along with the all of a sudden you can't score in the 4th no matter how close you are to the basket because the CPU decides NO, you will miss everything for the final 8 minutes of the game needs to be patched. Doesn't happen every game, but there are some games where the CPU does that in the 4th.

At this point, I just play the game for the halftime and post game highlight shows.

I don't know im not saying the games amazing, but you can really have fun with it if you use all the controls and plays properly. I was sooooo disappointed by the game when I got it, but its gotten better the more I play.

I have sold mine. I enjoy certain aspects and can overlook other areas not up to par but until there is better player and team differentiation, I just can't continue to play it.

I might pick it up again later down the line but at the moment, it's not NBA Live 15, it's just Basketball Live 15. Too generic.

Steven Adams is a good rebounder he has had multiple double digit rebounds this season.

Yes, that sums up how I feel about it also. It is a fun 'basketball' game...but it is not really an 'NBA' game. The teams are essentially all the same in style. Phoenix and San Antonio....there is no difference and they run identical plays. The game has way, way too few plays to differentiate teams and it gets boring after a few games as you see the cpu play exactly the same as it did regardless of team. Once the presentation wears off, the game gets old fast.

They would be better off hiring someone like playmakers to add real team styles.

I like how Live's shots look...but I'm not a big fan of the releases...especially online...

Green and Leonard's releases are button taps...and that's being generous...like button grazes lol...just doesn't feel like I'm involved in the shot at all when I'm shooting..

i dont like that sometimes when im trying to dribble moves, the player performs them while facing the wrong direction. He should be either facing the hoop or defender. I should post a video as an example.
