NBA Live 16 Gameplay Video - 10 Minutes of Rising Star Mode

It didn't help that the frame rate was horrible, but this just doesn't look that good. I'll give the demo a shot, but this hasn't swayed me to buy.

When you have played 14 and 15 you tend to look for the stuff you hoped would be improved ... with that being said.

- graphically looks good
- loving the off-ball movement
- passing still seems floaty (love the types of passing I'm seeing tho)
- loving the dribble animations
- love the overlays
- glad to see different ball rim iterations
- 2:56 canned animation caused the user to travel (gotta clean that up)
- 3:05 speedy layup animation in traffic (saw this in 15)
- under the post animations hate em
- Rebounding animations look much better
- love how the AI is running various plays, last year we saw PnR and post thats it lol
- facial animations look good
- 7:32 another speedy layup with no contact

Overall looks solid ... would love to see some more transitional animations and more contact on shot attempts in the paint. For 17 we gotta clean up these animations EA. Still buying this, 2K and 2K on PC.

agreed...man i'm disappointed. I really was looking forward to this game taking a big leap from 15. I hope the demo change my initial impression but this looks like a PS3 version with slightly improved graphics...I assume that rooks faces will be added later, but that is a bit disappointing at launch....im sorry but the third iteration shouldn't need a ton of major polishing....maybe the actual team games enhances the experience....but im starting to see why we didn't get a blitz of gameplay, and their seemingly online marketing push

The faces will be added before launch, which is still 2+weeks away.

Sounds good. The demo comes out Tuesday right?

I do think they have something with their online team play
