NBA Live 15 Patch 1.06 and Roster Update Available Now, Details Included (3-10-15)

[sarlndr]

So I downloaded the update the other day. I jumped into a quick tip-off game just to see if the game plays any different. I picked my hometown Cavs vs the Lakers. The Lakers win the top of and there's Steve Nash bringing it up court. He dribbles, drives, and kicks it out to Kobe for three. I'm like what is going on here, lol.

Then today I fire the game back up just to make sure I wasn't tripping. What do you know, I have to install the update again, lol. This time no Nash or Kobe starting for the Lakers.

The game does play better, that's for sure. I'm blocking shots like crazy, actually making uncontested jumpers, and playing D is much better. So far I'm very happy with how it's playing now.

I've seen massive double dribbles traveling violations and if I'm under the basket and score quick and grab the rebound I can score again because of the animation? I really don't think there will be a live 16!

I don't like folks being able to put in currently injured players, for online games.

That's just there to invite the adult social rejects who need to goon up the game for Ws; in order to feel better about their existence, and kids who don't know any better, to spam.

I agree !!! I hate why that was changed............that alone will make me put the game on the shelf.

No rhythm, no nothing its just random. - defense (more specifically defensive rebounding) is not good. Rebound is just random, way too many offensive rebounds. - animations, not enough (not anywhere close to enough), lots of wonky ones too. - roster updates are just not good/frequent enough (the other game really stepped up this in that department, cant hate on that). - Also in Live 15 I feel like I cant "get a stop". In the other game (which also has its flaws), i feel if I pull my shorts up and lock in I can "get a stop", rebound the basketball and go the other way with my offense. In Live 15 I feel helpless. So yeah.....thats that I guess. With Live 15, graphics/stadiums (minus jerseys) are incredible but I need more to actually play this gem on the regular instead of this niche game I play when the 2k servers are down (sorry but its the truth). I will always love the series (I own every live game), I still support it because I believe in competition but it's not even close right now.

I totally agree. Some of the bullsh*t in this game is just too ******** to overlook. The CPU AI has abilities that when usering are just impossible. The defensive controls for staying in front of your man are absolutely ridiculous and sloppy. How are we supposed to manuever into position with such a ****ty delayed reaction control scheme? And when your idiot defender trips over himself for even a split second and the AI makes a straight line for the f*cking basket everytime. The way they cheat with that move and always being in perfect position for the offensive rebound is repulsive. Another cheat that they manipulate is that while your own teams AI controlled defenders are constantly not even within 10 feet of the man they are supposed to be guarding or are so f*cking stupid that they choose to walk back on defense ten seconds after the CPU has already scored their fast break bucket, their defenders apparently have zero problem keeping 2 inches from every single one of your players for 48 minutes straight. Such horse sh*t!

And then there is the shooting. Jesus Christ, talk about a f*cking nightmare. This is supposed to be basketball, not f*cking chess! Putting a ball in a hoop is not that difficult, especially for NBA superstars! You should not have to run a play every single god damn time in order to get a shot to fall! No basketball game that literally renders it impossible to dribble down court and just pull up and hit a jumper even one f*cking time, is not worth playing, let alone owning.

- Basketball is a game of chess
- You don't need to run a play every time down to score, use the control scheme, sets screens etc. Or press RB to run random action sets, I think most of you stress over the game way too much

Sometimes I like when the CPU scores at will, because I tend to play smarter and usually come back to win, game shouldn't be easy all the time. The game has its hard moments

I agree with you ThaLiveKing. I personally enjoy the game. Is it perfect, no. I also own and play the other game, but something always brings me back to Live. That something is enjoyment. There are some things that are a bit annoying at times, like the constant AI post up, the mediocre end of game at times, or the lack of individual playcalling, but I personally can get past these things, adapt, and still enjoy the game. I for one hope they do continue making the game. It has come along way since Live 14 (which I also enjoyed by the way - bugs and all). They really need to figure out how to add sliders and allow us to adjust the rosters. Very important in my opinion.
