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

[mp3]

The thing that draws me back to 2K each time is the amount of blocks you have with guards and how many points in the paint the cpu scores.

In my last game, Bucks @ Grizzlies I blocked 28 shots and lost the game on superstar level 12 minute quarters 118-113.

The Grizzlies scored 78 points in the paint.

And the other thing that ticks me off is that if I go to start a dynasty they still have the old roster up and you also have the injury bug so there are so many stars out injured that kills your season mode.

The best CPU has played as far as creating offense, since the game came out

The game has its hard moments

No, it most certainly is not a game of chess. A sport like soccer, sure. Where 90 minutes of strategic ball placement can culminate with the games only goal and it being enough for the win, okay. I can see that. But a game like basketball that regularly boasts 2 scores a minute, for up to 100 scores altogether?! Uh, no. NOT anything like chess.

And BTW, setting screens and running control schemes ARE plays. Anything that requires two or more players to run is a play. This game makes any kind of one on one shooting or creating your own shot for the most part completely ****. And anyone that has even watched a single quarter of basketball knows how prevalent one man scoring actually is.

See how often Michael Jordan, Kobe Bryant, Allen Iverson, Reggie Miller, or Lebron James need a set screen or a designed play to score points. Hardly ever. Then see how much a defender three feet away with their hands up seems to bother them making jumpers. Zero. Hell, see how much a defender 3 inches from them seems to matter. Reggie Miller in particular seemed to shoot better with a hand completely obstructing his view of the basket.

It's great that some of you guys enjoy a basketball game with an unrealistic and highly misplaced difficulty factor. That doesn't change the fact that as it currently plays, it is flat out laughable as a true to life basketball simulation.

Maybe try lowering the difficulty? This last patch seems to have made jump shooting much better. I rarely call set plays and still manage to score inside and out. Or better yet, post a video of you playing so we can try to dissect what's going on. But everything you just said you should be able to do but can't, I have been, and I'm sure others have as well.

Oddly enough, being able to use Paul George is the main reason why I'm enjoying this game more than the "other game". NBA Live is just a straight forward, simple, uncomplicated basketball game for me.

The other game frustrates me so damn much with its "under the hood" artificial bs, it's a wonder that I haven't sold it yet.

As long as the roster personnel are accurate, I think including all players for use in online play is good. Some users may have paid full price, and don't enjoy playing with less than all of the players on their favorite teams. They bought the game to use their favorite players online against others. It also adds to the variety of teams you see used online from others, as you don't see a lot of people playing with 'star-less' teams in either NBA video game online as often.

The option to keep them out of the lineup in match-ups screen is already available though for those that want to 'keep it real', people just need to talk/message and agree prior to the game.

I wish everyone would at least try this, as I feel it would go a long way in helping with some of the issues some seem to be having with game play.

Agree. I think everyone should....

A lot of guys have essentially been saying they're having near perfect experiences that have also been improving with every update.....I'd love to see it firsthand....
