To those who own the game was it worth it...I have it pre ordered but I'm now on the fence!

That's the reason I'd like to hear people's opinions, I believe it will be great in 2-3 years if the plug isn't pulled on it again. Pappy and I played quite a bit of the trial and like every game, it needs some work.

You WILL help us turn that park into a sim basketball haven, you don't have a choice man.

I pre-ordered the jordan version of 2k16 and live 16. My bias is that i have been a 2k die hard since dreamcast. That said I have played every Live in the post Elite era. All that said, NBA Live 16 is pretty dope. I love how the game communicates plays. It does a great job of letting you know whats coming 1 or 2 steps ahead. I like the shot meter a lot as well. By the end of the patching in Live 15 missing and making shots felt so random it was unbearable. This year if you miss a shot they will tell you if your player was a bad 3pt shooter, or not clutch. Very well done. There are a few awkward lay up animations but the game looks good. I still think nobody does ultimate team better than EA. MyTeam is mediocre but Live Ultimate Team is great once again. That said, the my player mode in Live is much weaker then the 2K spike lee joint. It's still too bare bones in NBA Live.

All in all, I think NBA Live 16 is worth a purchase. It is a solid basketball game. I am so excited to be back in an era with more than one NBA game worth playing. Reminds of back when I was playing Konami NBA games, with Live, and NBA Action.... feels good

It does! NBA 2K16 is phenomenal but i love the fact Live is back on trail, it is something on his own league, more arcadey and fun experience you know... i love them both.
Like the new shoot meter so much, nice idea to put meter above player head, i find not too comfortable to look under player feet on NBA 2K16 with broadcast view.

My buddy picked it up, after waiting for the new update to install we gave it a go. Right off the back, i could tell that the update fixed a lot of things things that i complained about during video. The game is extremely fun, but there are still crazy/weird things that happen that destroy my experience. Like the very first game i played, the player shot a backwards jumpshot. and it still went in. I thought that bug was being addressed. Still need some work, game is fun, but i will not purchase it at 60 dollars as i have said before. Thats just my conclusion, will get the game though, but not at retail value. I got the competition game at $36 bucks as well on pc, so no way will i spend more that that for this game at moment.
