I asked him if he knew of NBA Live and the new face scan. He basically was not a gamer. After a lot of jokes and the whole bike shop crew (I work there part time) laughing at me. The guy agreed to be my NBA Live game face! So, I pop out the iPhone and we scan him. Pretty funny all and all but now I have a game face! A random stranger danger game face. Plus a little more self confidence. I know off topic but that was my Live experience for today. Now, to see how it looks in the game...

Lol it would be cool to have some female player models in the pro am . I wonder if WNBA players will ever be guest featured in an NBA game .

Should have gotten his number "just in case the scan didn't upload"

I have played numerous games and this demo is worse than Live 15. Way too much skating...superstar level way too easy...fg percentages way to high...announcing is worse than last years...controls very slugglish...the new camera angle is really good. I was wishing live 16 was going to be my basketball game this year but very disappointed in this year's effort.

Anybody ferl passing as improved? Seems like it has. Touches passes in this game is a thing of beauty imo.

Entitled to your own opinion but it's not worse than 15! Controls are sluggish tho.

Pro am is very good beside the lag and the cheddar heads, i think this is why i use cpu player because the cheddar heads dont have a clue how to play team basketball!! I did a quick run with washington and the clippers, i may say....i love how both teams get right into their sets 2. The quick hitter play while crossing half court 3. Player handoffs are nice. The flow of the game is also at a nice pace.

The bad: sliders are in increments of 10, so for example 3pt is going to be 40 or 50 no 45 or 47...smh come on live.

Post moves look like live 14!
Shot blocking not realistic at all.
Dunks are still the same!
Floor spacing is better but on fastbreaks no one is fulling lanes.
I love the defensive meter but its still easy for cpu to get to the paint.
No fighting for rebounds at all in the game
Lack of fouls being called, better than 15 but need more.
Passing is a lot better than 15 but need more control on bounce passes, lob and chest passes.
Need more control on the ball handling.
Need player momentum for sure.
Right now this game is about 2-3 years behind if the dev put in the work, if not, we are looking at about 5 years.

@wtf I thought they added six new cameras? I had to go back to baseline low
