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

[magicman32]

Just played 2 games of pro am. I'm not an online guy. Hated the park in 2k. It's not my thing. But the 1st game one guy just stayed in the back court and kept giving our team 8 sec violations. No one would pass the ball. The 2nd game was just all ball hogs. Both games had slight lag. Was slow and sluggish. I hate online game play. But in both games animations were wack. Rebounding was wack and sluggish. Controls are limited. Live has a ways to to go. Maybe one day they will be competitive. It's just not now I'm not going to sugar coat it

In Live Pro AM I have an athletic rim protector and often when I press the Y button to jump for a rebound or block a shot my big man doesn't do anything which makes my type player useless, anyone else experiencing this?

Basically Live has done a lot of good stuff. Example, lighting is great. Players look real. Shooting is two million times better. The game is fun. But I am not going to defend it. If others dislike it they dislike it. I do not play games online so really do not care if no one else plays it.

been playing the demo A LOT. its incredible! i love it! the graphical upgrade is very nice. haven't really gotten into pro am a lot since the app really isnt compatible with my smartphone. but the gameplay has vastly improved. most animations seem smooth and realistic. the last few years ive really been into the other game but im betting on Live this season. may pick up the other game later on this year maybe holiday but 9/29 will be unlocking full game. Great job EA. if u can not go into playing this game with the mind frame of "how does it compare to 2k" then people just might enjoy it...

Wait what did we do? We posted on our official Twitter that the generic scans would be updated when the game launches. So either you're sweating Steve's tweets on his personal account or the moderation on the forums. I don't control Steve or the modding, just confused as we haven't done like a front-page story on this or anything.

This is my experience also...

One thing I have discovered is people dislike EA Sports and just have a bias. FIFA gets bashed compared to PES and Live compared to 2K. I do not find FIFA or Live without issues. But they are both fun and good games this year. I love that both gave us a good demo and I will be getting them. The real odd thing to me is not the pointing out flaws in the EA games but the blindness to flaws in PES and 2K.

But a lot of the mediocre animations are still the same, especially around the basket. Passing is still has some elements of Live on PS2. I'll get the play the demo more over the weekend. I still have to finish the rest of the tutorial to get the controls down better. I just think NBA Live isn't a game that is taken very seriously and IMO is just past off as fun for a lot of people. Not much is expected compared to it's competitor and that's just a fact. I don't know how many years I've heard "Live has a good foundation". Bottomline is they are so far behind. A console generation last about 6-8 years. We are already in year 2 of this generation, yet their game animates and the movements are like their PS3 game from 8 years ago. It is what it is.

Damn I have to agree 100%

Both games have flaws. Just one had a lot more than the other
