PRO Am is extremely fun and wow amazing graphics and smooth. I have no problems with rebounding in the game. Been hitting the boards TONS.

I love to play sport games online.... Last season I played 2K game, but from europe its very rare to find a good connection in a match. Common problem is the lag due to oversea servers.
In this NBALive the online matches looks stable and lag-less... even if from video its difficlut to judge.

Someone playing the game? Can you confirm this?

Ive just now start the dwl of the demo for my PS4.

If the game confirm the good online compart, maybe I'll buy the game just for online matches...

Played another game with the Warriors and Clippers. Went down to the wire. 99-98 Warriors (me).

The more I play this game, the more I'm enjoying it. I have gone back to icon passing for precise passing controls. I'm getting use to icon passing disappearing if I don't hold onto the button. Still a little challenging trying to get the exact screener I want. But the screen button and the way you can feather your players is a magnificent wonderful touch. I think I have started to get a handle on doing fast breaks after rebounds, maybe ... I think. You're still holding down the sprint button, but I'm also holding down the icon passing button as well looking to pass the ball through available passing lanes.

The biggest issues I'm still seeing is no bank shots. High arcing interior paint shots. Lack of proper contextual shots on the interior. Delayed button input specifically for jumping for a rebound and blocking shots. The other noticeable delay is when you switch to the interior paint player trying to either block a shot or grab a rebound, there is probably a 1 to 1.5 second delay when pressing the jump button, which prevents me from successfully grabbing a board or blocking a shot.

All offense sliders dropped down to 10. Post game remained at 50.
All defense sliders bumped up to 100.
All Star. 12 minute quarters.

Shots definitely were no longer a guarantee, although contested floaty layups may still have too much success. Layups are suppose to have a fairly good success rate, but it's just the type wonky animations triggering that makes it strange seeing them have success. Dunks are down. Interior scoring for both teams a little bit more difficult.

Could very well grab both 2k16 (definitely) and Live16 (possibly, still debating) this year and run an offline franchise. I don't do online, thus will not be participating in Pro-Am or any other modes from either company.

Appears one must be connected to the internet in order to play. Likely has something to do with SYNERGY. Every single time I start up Live16, synergy updates and synergy can only update via online. That's probably why online might always be required. If it's synergy causing the hold up, why not allow the gamer to choose if s/he wants to use it?

Played some live run with the bro and had a good time. Get 10 guys who know what they're doing and I could see these something that I could get into long-term.

With that said, the rebounding is a crap shoot. Input is already sluggish, but add the online lag and timing rebounds becomes even more of a struggle.

Also, I'm assuming you're not going to be able to access live run on the demo after release? Any word on this?

To everyone is who having trouble rebounding. At least as far as defensive rebounding, just hold the left trigger near the ball and your guy will automatically jump for the rebound. Under no circumstances should you be pressing the jump button unless you are going for an offensive rebound.
