NBA Live 15 Features Revealed, Improved Visuals Trailer Released

02:01 PM - September 2, 2014 by Steve_OS

EA Sports has just released their NBA Live 15 improved visuals trailer. They have also released the NBA Live 15 features list.

Let us know what you think!

Lights, Camera, Action
We’re doubling down on visuals with an all-new scanning and lightning technique for the most photo-realistic player models in franchise history. Add into the mix player specific body types and contextual emotional responses and you will truly feel like you’re in the action.

Real-Time Physics in the Paint
Feel the impact of real-time physics on every drive, post move and collision in the most trafficked area on the court. 100+ new animations make it possible for something unpredictable and amazing to happen on every play. Scoring has been amped up with 3x the variety of dunks, layups and signature shots as you impose your will on your opponent with physicality you can feel.

Ultra-Responsive Controls
Passing, shooting and dribbling will feel snappier the moment you pick up the sticks. Freestyle Passing takes your assist game to the next level with no looks, behind the backs, and more. An all-new shot feedback system teaches you how to successfully get buckets, measuring three key factors in real-time to determine shot quality. Enhancements to bounceTek allow you to make cuts and change momentum on a dime, giving you the ability to create space and pull off devastating skilled dribble moves on the run.

Smarter AI & Transition Game
New AI logic drives all 10 players to move with intent and purpose while displaying greater off-ball awareness, adjusting as every play develops. Add in a smooth transition game as well as real-world offensive sets and defensive schemes and you’ve got 48 minutes and 94 feet of end-to-end, dynamic gameplay.

Defense Is Fun
New defensive systems make it easier to contain your man by using just the left stick. Contextual physicality, bumps and jostles, in addition to a new shot blocking system, delivers simplicity in controls helping you make that big defensive stop when your team needs it most.

Learn LIVE
NBA All-Star and Former ROTY Damian Lillard is your personal coach and mentor on the journey to becoming an expert NBA LIVE 15 player. Learn how to dominate LIVE like a boss with drills and tutorials wrapped in stories about Lillard’s path to the NBA.

Plus, all-new featured monthly events will offer fresh challenges as they actually happen, in real-time.

Good trailer. Players faces look spot on for the most part which I'm big on and the kicks oh man the kicks. Only thing weird to me was the detail in the arms and the weird way they move almost Antoine walker cybertoine live ish. Where all the screen grabs and gifs ppl I love that stuff lol

Definitely looks like a different game from last year. Lots of positives in this trailer. I still see some "Live" movements from the players which isn't encouraging, but they're moving in the right direction from everything else. Can't wait to see more to get a better judgement.

One of the biggest things that I'm surprised to see no conversation on, feature wise, are the physics in the paint. To me, this is HUGE.

Out of all the beautiful things in this trailer the physics was where my attention was paid and man do they look good. Hopefully they expand on it next year so all players on the court have physics like NHL 15. LIVE IS BACK BABY! MY FIRST LOVE IS COMING HOME

Cheers! ;-)

Now if the actual 5 on 5 gameplay is as fluid and dynamic as this trailer then, sweet mercy! I understand your sentiments on wanting complete control. But to me, there's a fine line. I want the control, but I also want true to the sport animations to "sell it". 2K goes a little overboard with some (steal, rebounding), I'll admit, but I would prefer those to none at all. I'd actually prefer "less" control to differentiate players. For instance, If I'm playing with Dirk I want there to be a slight delay when I'm running out to guard a perimeter shot; Serge Ibaka, on the other hand, would react instantaneously to my command and pressure the shooter much quicker. I want Derrick Rose to "explode" off the dribble when attacking the lane on my command, while Chauncey Billups just puts his head down and muscles his way in. I like stuff like that. To each his own. I'm gonna give the demo a shot though and see how it stacks up. It looks like there is a legitimate shot at current gen hoops being a slugfest. I love it!

Control doesn't mean giving unrealistic abilites to players. It means not being stuck and long drawn out animations.

Insane

When Live realizes players just don't drive and dunk on everybody down the court maybe they'll compete. Doubt it.

# 208 sega2k @ 09/02/14 07:03 PM

The guy from the MMGN article said that you won't recognize this game..But he also said there were some live elements that need some fixing..I'm okay with that, b/c this is something that looks enjoyable and worth playing..I can't imagine what's in store for Live 16..

# 209 EAGLESFAN10 @ 09/02/14 07:03 PM

This ain't REAL they showing us stuff I can't believe it

Seriously tho I liked what I saw the visuals were AMAZING but I can't judge gameplay from the clip but I love what I saw

And a 50 second trailer convinced you that they don't realizes it? How about waiting for the demo before concluding this game is an unrealistic dunk fest.

Sacramento Kings jersey needs to be updated? Another thing no Latino, White, European on trailer? Come on EA! Other than that it looks amazing!

Just sick

# 215 hawley088 @ 09/02/14 07:17 PM

looked good but the player movements are still kinda bonkers

# 216 KennyJ1976 @ 09/02/14 07:20 PM

2014 must be the return of competition in sports games. From the looks of things we're getting 2 good soccer and now 2 good basketball games. Now if only football, baseball, and hockey will follow suit. Good job EA, keep it up.

# 217 WTF @ 09/02/14 07:20 PM

Did anyone catch Nerlens and his high top fade? On point.

And let's keep this on the trailer, and not WTF

Hope they live up to this kind of promise this year. Cause this kind of stuff certainly didn't happen last year.

Live 15 should be a solid game and for once in a long time be worth the price (that includes the free elite demo). Maybe not quite at 2k's level yet but this video alone is far better than anything we have seen from Live since Live 10. I'm excited to check out this game and even more excited to see what both teams will bring to the table next year.
