NBA Live 16 Demo Available For Xbox One and PS4, Post Your Impressions

[Kurupt_XxX]

Live feels like an IOS App store game. From gameplay to almost the graphics. I feel like 2k15 for the iphone plays alot better and smoother than the demo.

Really can't find any positives. Game feels 5 years behind.

But i hope live keeps on making the game and improving every year. Just need to smooth it out.

Ok as a Live ***** I will say I'm impressed......not impressed enough to pay 65 for it up I'm pressed arenas look great but players have a cartoon vibe to them. Playing through a game defense...what defense lol. It's like a freaking all star game. Someone said it best this should have been like 14 or even nba elite. Honestly you ask me Live should quit with simulations and just to nba street or nba jam type game that looks like this. I would buy that for 60 before this. But regardless good outing now where my 2k at

I can honestly say, I'm finished with this series, bought it the last two years, no more. This game is dead IMHO. I was blown away to see the force field out of bounds AGAIN, they specifically said they would address this, did not happen. Lots of weird moves in the most, players contorting, twisting, just strange. I do see some animations which look better but this game is worlds apart from having the animations of its competitor, just not even in the same spectrum. There is just a huge lack of overall content in comparison, here's some off the top of my head.

2K has at least 30 legendary teams, about 24 Euro teams, about 20 college teams, 45 song soundtrack, a complete story mode, any many others. I want to like Live, I do, though it's just too much, I hate to say it, but I just don't see this series surviving after next year, it just can't compete. I did observe some notable improvements from last year, the commentary is smoother-more in sync, animations are better-in some areas, especially on drives, arenas look great and, some of the players have had huge make-overs but that's about it.

Good job Live team....movement finally feels good man...feels like basketball. You can finally take angles in this gen.


Love the presentation and all the on court diagrams...I'm a fan of the pick control, great idea there. Also love the contextual animations navigating through them...


Just a couple things that bother me:


Love the fact that there is spacing and movement....but some of it's due to exaggerated rotations...there are guys being left open and helped off of that don't make any sense sometimes.


The late game A.I is STILL bad- we gotta get this fixed fellas..


Up 3 with :34 seconds left...


Intentional foul at :32
I hit 1 of 2
CPU runs the clock down to 8 seconds and shoots a contested 2 pointer


You still cant swat at a mid air ball on command...I didn't notice a dip in long pass accuracy either....what's to stop guy online from puling the stuff they did last year with guys like LeBron


The inside game- its already been talked about by many...ill hold off on this one while I experiment with sliders....but what about online? At what point do physics really start making a difference down here?


Props on the team for the progress- its an enjoyable game...just hope the above can be worked on so it doesn't eat away at that enjoyment...

Noticed the same thing with the late game AI, can be down by three and does nothing to try to make up the difference, goes for a two and plays on like there is a full game left to be played. WTH, how did this ONCE AGAIN make it IN THE GAME?????????

The arenas look great. The Thunders court looks damn near real.
