If you’re an older gamer like myself, then you remember the reason(s) that got you into playing video games in the first place. Sure, there are a handful of auxiliary reasons, but for me it was the insane amount of fun and excitement they provided. As the gaming demographics have changed over the years, so have the expectations from the gaming community.

Now, not only do we ask the games be fun, but also incredibly realistic, both in look and play -- especially in regards to sports games. Fair or not, that’s the world each developer lives in these days, and any misstep (or four) can set your franchise back for years.

They should have done what 2k5 did and only charged $20. Maybe someday they will compete with 2k, but they have a ways to go.

Agree on the fun and love the free flowing nature, atmosphere and control that live does so well.

Played 2k free over the weekend on Xbox and it just solidified why I like live so much and hope they continue to improve it.

Good read Chris.

These games are supposed to be fun, and if you're having fun (we all have our different standards) that's all that matters.

im honestly considerring buying live 16 just for the online play,i cant take losing the ball constantly on myteam in 2k16 online players constantly get in front of you so the ball gets knocked out of your hands its too much to even have any type of fun,its hard to even play in the paint the ball will be knocked out of your hands 99% of the time if you try to maneuver in the paint in 2k16,i wonder did they even try the game before releasing it if they had of played it 2 or 3 times they would have realized its unplayable online this way.

I am Honestly addicted to NBA Lives Pro AM mode. I find it extremely fun and satisfying. I can only imagine how much better this game will get over the years. While the head to head hasn't been as enjoyable as I like I've had moments where I've said "Wow, this game could be GREAT going forward". I find it fun and realistic besides some wonky animations here and there, but honestly the Pro Am mode is just pure Fun and Basketball.

Good read.
