I'm really enjoying Live 16. Obviously It's not as intricate as 2K16, but it's a solid game. I've been playing 2K non-stop since Friday and played about 4-full games of Live last night. It was kind refreshing to play a more laid back brand of basketball (since 2K is such a mental grind). It'm not saying it's an arcade game; just not as sim heavy as the other tittle.

Controlling you player around the court feels very smooth. Calling plays is a blast. Shooting also feels very good. I found myself constantly thriving on the opportunity of taking open shots that were product of good basketball decisions than trying to manage my way to the rim like a maniac. Surprisingly enough, I'm having success rebounding the ball. It's not an easy task, but it can be mastered. The same goes for denying opponents at the rim. It can be done, and blocks actually look good although the warping light-speed penetrations are extremely out of context.

Graphics wise, dare I say it has surpassed the other game. Player models, textures, lightning and stadiums look amazing. The animations are coming along too, although not a strong point for the series yet and not in 2K's league.

Presentation has quietly become a highlight for the series. The ESPN packaging has finally been put to good use and the crowds are really alive!

I really love basketball and videogames, so there's enough room in my heart for both games. At the end of the day it's a fun game and that's what videogames should be all about.

My rating is a 7,5/10 (while 2K16 being a 9/10).
If they had an edit player feature I'd bump it to a solid 8.

I'm not a mod, but can we get impressions without mentioning 2k? This is not a comparison thread.

Are you able to play a season mode where you can play with all teams?

No. Hopefully it will be a top priority next year

I played my first game on the retail version a few minutes ago. NYK vs IND. I could tell off the bat that the inside shooting had been tweaked. I was seeing lots of misses inside. We were both shooting around 48% at the half. It seems to me that the contesting was turned up. I was still able to hit consistently after coming of screens. I played tons of ea access. Superstar difficulty. After I play some dynasty games I'll give my score. Definitely a substantial improvement from 14 & 15.-
