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

[logieuk]

Demo lasted 20 mins, I just don't like the way you can score with set moves all the time. Yes the game has made big improvements over the last few versions with graphics and animations. But playing basketball just seems so basic and the AI seems very basic.

They are showing up everywhere on ebay too. Early

If we are perfectly replicating NBA averages, you should see 5.5 midrange shots per quarter per team. Now, of course, this should be even more heavily slanted towards the paint, as this is measuring field goal attempts and not shooting fouls, which we know happen more often in the paint than anywhere else. Based on this information, as an estimate, the average NBA team attempts a little more than half of their shot attempts (fouled and otherwise) in the paint, a quarter from 3, and a quarter from midrange, meaning 75% of all shot attempts are either in the paint or from 3.

% wise I understand but being able to get from the 3pt line to rim with 1 button press is the issue. I personally want to see defense get rewarded but forcing teams to shot lower % shots.

3pt shots should be lowered at least 10% across the board.

Any fan knows the art of the midrange game is slowly going away. But when full game comes out if Aldridge and Dirk are not tearing the midrange game up. That to me is an issue. I don't mind them exaggerate Curry/Thompson but early demo, lebron was shooting majority of shots out there. That has been tweaked so far.

Didn't see a bugs thread but I just had the ball get stuck/glued to the backboard. I'm playing retail copy. Hopefully the Dev's can recreate and fix

Also anyone lose there in game shot meter? I had it the first few days but now it's gone and I don't see the option to toggle it on/off

And majority of time it benefited the offensive player vs punishing bad bball tactics. Attachment 106664Attachment 106665 Sent from my Nexus 6 using Tapatalk

I noticed this too going through the tutorial. I was thinking the take off area for layup seas too far back.

Don't want to nor am I trying to turn this into a BUG THREAD but this shot is nuts. Kawhi is shooting a sideways jumper.





I will say I have seen more midrange jumpers in this game

I know the mid-range shots by the cpu have been a issue in the past and seems to be one now. Here is the shot chart from a game is just played vs the Spurs playing on All Star 8 min qtrs

Thanks for the glitch input Mamba. I'll pass along the ball sticking glitch. That's an odd one. What type of shot was it that resulted in it sticking?

The sideways/backwards shooting deal they're aware of, and should be fixed in the patch, so you shouldn't see that in the final w/ patch.
