NBA Live 16 Game Update 1.05 Available Now - Adds Christmas Uniforms & Stance Socks

Lost my 1st game in over a month. The AI is back. 3pt shooting success has been toned way down for both sides. I noticed now when you have a faster player, the AI defender guarding you will sag back off you now to prevent you from blowing passed him. I like that a lot. But if they are about the same speed or the defender is faster then you, he will get all up in your grill on defense. A lot more free throws are missed by everybody. Now it is REALLY important to not leave your bad free throw shooters in the game because they miss at a much higher rate now.

The AI won't hesitate to pull up and pop a jumper if you sag too far off him. Tony Parker killed me doing this. Lay ups and bunnies are no longer a 100% given success rate. Players miss a lot of those now if the shot is contested. Which is a good thing because before all you had to do was start the lay up animation and it was an automatic lay up. I missed about 6 or 7 lay ups & bunnies.

Defenders bite harder now on cross overs and stumble backwards. They recover pretty good though. All in all I would give this patch a 9 out of 10. Now EA need to improve the post game and atmosphere. The game was close at the end but the atmosphere didn't feel like it. The players on the court and the bench players didn't show it at all. EA need to improve on that big time.

I'm really thinking about purchasing this game because of you guys..Is it a least a 7 out of 10?

Exhibition / one off games / play today's NBA schedule are a 8/10 type experience now. It plays well.

If you want a dynasty or in depth season modes though.......it is barely a 3/10.

So, it depends on what you want.

Both were recently called up from the D-League on December 15th. Current rosters probably reflect last week.

Welp, just played the Warriors. The splash brothers were splashing all the place. So EA finally got the Warriors playing like the real life Warriors. The Warriors ball movement was incredible.

There are definitely new animations added..i have seen a couple of much better looking lay ups already.

I am not one for the whole 'placebo patch fixed this' stuff...but this one is legit.

The foundation is there right now is terms of gameplay for a really good game going forward if they can get dynasty / season / other modes working.

Are force fields still on the sidelines?
