"I'd like to see everybody on the court be as talented as a sixth man, not an all-around superstar, so that people are forced to play a single role (slasher, shooter, defender, etc.) to find team success."

While good on theory you know most people would be complaining if they can't be a superstar-like player. Likewise if people were able to choose their role (defender, slasher, shooter, etc) most people would likely choose the flashy choice (shooter, slasher, scorer, etc).

I completely disagree with the 2nd writer opinion that the human ai teammates don't help out to defend.

I've seen defensive ai help all over the floor in this game even on pro level gameplay where you'd most expect the ai to behave brain dead.

visuals are good and the shooting is better than last years but still need work on physics other than that it came a long way its a good game.

"NBA Live 16's court spacing, player movement, and shooting system are all much more realistic and balanced than what you'd encounter at NBA 2K15's cheese-filled parks and rec centers."

Yes, he really just did that..! He just compared a video game to its previous year's competitors version... LOL!! That's hilarious.!

The word I keep using to sum up Live 16 is: fun. Every now and then there will be an ugly moment trying to ruin this feeling like a horrible post up animation or some wacky warping lay up. But there's much to love abut this game. The simple act of shooting is a joy by itself.

Once they clean up on some of the gafes and add the much coveted edit-a-player feature, we'll have 2 great b-ball games to mess around. Right now we have a great one and...a good one.

Simple solution for you would be not to buy it! Everyone doesn't share your opinion.
