NBA Live 15 Modes Detailed In Depth

05:30 PM - October 10, 2014 by Steve_OS

EA Sports has detailed its modes in NBA Live 15 today, with the most surprising news item of the release the omission of Ultimate Team from the initial list, although it appears it will be given its own release at a later date. Otherwise, the modes list is pretty standard fare. Here are some highlights:

HEAD-TO-HEAD SEASONS
This mode is built around Head-to-Head gameplay and bragging rights. Work to advance from League 1 to League 10, playing games against rivals and friends along the way. Rack up wins to level up and compete with the big boys. Dominate here, and you will be in a league of your own.

JORDAN RISING STAR
Create your dream NBA player and rise through the ranks from hot rookie to legendary status in JORDAN Rising Star.

Jump into the JORDAN Rising Star game to prove your skills and improve draft stock. After reaching the NBA, players must do whatever it takes to prove they belong on their way to legendary status.

NEW IN-GAME PERFORMANCE GRADING SYSTEM
Players from all 13 play styles have their own evaluation and scoring system. NBA LIVE 15 includes more than 85 gradable on-court actions, up from just 22 in NBA LIVE 14.

adidas LEARN LIVE
Get familiar with the controls and movement in NBA LIVE 15 with the brand new adidas Learn LIVE gym.

DYNASTY
There�s no better feeling than building a team from the ground up dominating the league. In addition to the on-court action, you can also trade, set goals and manage your squad exactly how you want over a 30-year term.

NEW PLAY-BY-PLAY SIMULATION
Jump in at any point during the simulation while observing live stats and shot charts. Real-time prompts will appear, allowing players to hop back into the game at the game�s critical moment.

This is actually a good set of modes...

As long as gameplay is on point I can see myself playing UT, Rewind and Tip Off frequently

# 22 KingTocco @ 10/10/14 09:52 PM

I just want to see gameplay. All of this sounds great to me, and I know this sounds silly but as long as NBA Live 15 has better cameras than NBA Live 14 I'm in..for the life of me, I cannot stand broadcast camera.

No defensive Training? I hope they can patch that into Learn Live....otherwise this sounds great! NOW for some gameplay videos!!!

When was this ever new?

# 25 ya boy hollywud @ 10/10/14 11:58 PM

Are Head2Head seasons online association? I sure hope so.

# 26 Pappy Knuckles @ 10/11/14 12:08 AM

2K's online is very sluggish for me right now. I put this in my Gamefly queue today in the hopes that it can provide me a halfway decent game of ball. I thought Live 14 was one of the sorriest sports titles that I've ever played, but maybe they can turn it around this year. I doubt it, but we'll see. At least the modes sound alright.

Yes I would love to know what cameras there are this year. Last year the only playable camera IMO was broadcast. If it's the same this year then I'm out.

I like how 2k is giving live a pulse. 2k didn't even need to improve their game all they had to do was get their servers working (which in turn improves the game but you knew what I meant). Give props to ea as there servers for the most part are pretty good. Say what you will but if your game doesn't play well online I probably won't get it. Love my self competition.

# 29 KingTocco @ 10/11/14 01:02 AM

I just want to have options, so I'm really pulling for Live to be a solid game.

Live 14 had some things going for it:

Ultimate Team was awesome and they actually have Leaderboards and it keeps track of your record...for me that is huge because it adds to replay value.

Rising Star was pretty cool and a slight different take on the "other" similar game mode.

The Soundtrack was awesome...hip-hop all day!

So if the gameplay is halfway decent...I'm pumped

Live responded by calling out 2K's servers. In the NBA, teams take shots at each other because they wanna be the best. That's what both franchises are doing here. It's good for us fans because we get to see 2 companies fight for our business. In the end, the consumer wins because companies put pressure on themselves to do what they say and put out the best product.

In what world is that 2K taking a shot at Live? A statement like that is more of a response to people claiming they're sitting on their asses becuase Live has been pissing itself for the last four years or so. That's like saying the Colts are taking shots at the Jaguars because they didn't consider themselves rivals.

Anyway. Modes look decent. I'll eventually pick this up for cheap. I imagine I'll have some fun with some of these provided the gameplay is good. Still need to see some here.

I find it interesting that both Jordan and Adidas feature prominently in the game modes. I would think only one would be like 2K's Jordan gamemode or Jordan and Nike instead.

# 32 bumpyface @ 10/11/14 03:14 AM

And still no 5 vs 5 gameplay video. I mean, at this point could it actually hurt sales?

# 33 Jakeness23 @ 10/11/14 08:50 AM

What I'm wondering is if in Rising Star if 2 people (1 being myself) Will fill the same draft spot. Like if I go 9th to the Hornets, it'd be nice if Vonleh wasn't also drafted 9th. So after I get picked, the rest of the draft should differ from real life.

Why should you or anyone concern themselves with sales at this point?

If you like a game, enjoy it.

If even find myself enjoying certain games more by staying off the boards and not reading about every single thing that is wrong with them.

Plus certain people have agendas.

Well it was in the game last year but I don't know about this year.

I got drafted #1 overall and Bennett was on the cavs roster.

# 36 loosey101 @ 10/11/14 10:32 AM

What'd you do to get drafted first? I always find its super hard to get taken in the top three spots.

# 37 Walt Frazier @ 10/11/14 11:26 AM

The modes look promising...

My main concern at this point is that there has not been a single cpu v cpu video released.

It just defies all logic NOT to release a video if you are confident in the product.

Play pg lol

# 39 KingTocco @ 10/11/14 12:30 PM

I personally like that when you get drafted it doesn't change the order. I like having rosters as real as possible, I thought most people would enjoy that.

# 40 swac07 @ 10/11/14 12:46 PM

The modes sound real nice! I remember Fernando creating a thread about Dynasty and taking suggestions from Os members. I wonder what did they add from the suggestions? That could be a definite positive if Dynasty mode is decent.
