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

[shaybeezy]

Hey fellas,

When I started up the demo this morning on my PS4, I kept getting an error message and it would kick me out. I decided to check for update, it said the demo was up to date. I went to restart again, still errors. I deleted and now I am trying to re-install. Will all my progress from my Pro-Am be there, points etc? Thank you.

Can you change camera angles in pro-am ?

[WTF]

Yes, you can.

I haven't changed any of the sliders yet. Guess I'll give it a shot later and see how it goes from there

Well I know some of the reason is people are too busy bitching on the other board about install times, buying wins and no player highlights lol

My impressions so far of the demo are very mixed. On one hand, it's a solid improvement over Live 15 in some areas, but on the other hand the game needs a ton of work still. For game play, animation quality, quantity, context and collision detection are the weak points. There are still horrid animations in the game that make no sense in context to the current situation and just look horrible. I run into these animations way too much. Collision detection also needs to be fixed, too many times do players just push other players out the way, or when a player actually stops another, it's a pre-determined animation and not a dynamic one. I am tried of seeing the pre-determined(canned animation) dunk on animations. I also am seeing a ton of sliding on dunks and dribbling moves. I thought "Live-Motion and Ragdoll physics" were suppose to fix these problems. As far as the positives, the dribble hand-off mechanic and Pro-Am are nice, but one game play feature and one mode aren't going to keep me coming back to the game.

Hopefully "next year" we see real and actual improvements to overall game play and an improved presentation suite(Same for the past three years), and more depth to features(Same last three years with exception of Pro-Am). As of now, the NBA Live team has lost my support with the past three years of fumbling around trying to establish an identity. Myself and many others are tried of hearing "potential" for this series, they have had plenty of time, man-power, and resources and yet an overall great product has yet to be released. Just my two cents.

Just got a quick game in with the new update just to see if I noticed any improvements. To be totally honest other than the Russell face update which by the way is really bad, looks nothing like him. I didn't notice any difference.

I played the Spurs and it was still either drive to the paint or the 3. What really made me end up turning it off was the picture I'm about to post. Kawhi shooting at the other basket. Twice now I've seen it.

I wish I was more of a online gamer and then this game would probably be a keeper. Still a great deal of work for EA to do with this title imo.
