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

[deebo2246]

After watching this video, I will just wait until it is free through ea access. I find it quite comical that some people believe that this game is actually polished and ready for the big sales numbers. I still see alot of what was wrong with NBA Elite and every title that's proceeded it. We have all been suckered by the marketing ploy of showing close-ups of players through the replay function of the game. EA Sports developers are stellar with animation and realism in FIFA. However, some of their other titles need work big time.

Honestly, I really don't know how I feel about Live. I see some good here. I really do. And I see some of the same legacy issues that have been holding it back in my view. Live 16 looks like a step forward from 15 when i felt like it needed a leap. I will definetly give the demo a shot though and see what is what.

I'm semi pumped now, I think it looks just fine. Nothing spectacular, but nothing that really looks bad either. Looking forward to playing it. I'm sure I'll love it. Some nice animations going on. 3 point shots look very very good. I love shooting the rock!

First off I would like to acknowledge EA's efforts in bringing this game back. While they are still a ways to go, their hard work is noticeable. With that being said, after watching this video and all the other videos from shacknews's stream page I cannot and will not pay $60 for this game. I will wait for it to become available on EA Access. Animations are still off, lay-ups are too floaty, and it just doesn't look like real basketball. I will take $20 from the $60 I was going to spend on this and put it towards the MJSE of the other title. I'm so disappointed because for the 3rd year in a row I thought I would be having two good basketball games. And NO I haven't played it and nor will that change my mind UNLESS they drop some major patch that fixes the flaws.

I love how anyone finds something questionable in the video, someone pops up immediately and says "oh dont worry the day one patch will fix all that" but if this was NBA 2K then that would not been the response lol

I actually like this game and 2K though, so all in for both. I just hate the weird commentary from either side. You can support both games its not a crime

I appreciate having choices, thank you EA for that, however, I not impressed...I've said this for the last 3 Live games, it just doesn't look life like, nor next gen. I don't get distracted and immersed in game play action as I do with other titles, even other titles from EA...every one is robotic looking and I still don't see signature styles of play...I hope those that purchase live 16 enjoy it, but, they have a long way to go to earn my money.

Movement looks better, but why does the rim look so weird always in Live?

Until they start upping their game in Franchise mode I can't in on this game over the other, but it might be worth a pick up after it goes on sale.

It looks like an improvement from its predecessors (like that was hard to do) but comparable to the other basketball game it is not. There's just so much more going on under the hood in the other engine it leaves this one in the smoke.

Having more than one choice is never a bad thing, however, when the difference is this drastic the illusion of choice is just that, an illusion.
