It is. Pro.

I'm pretty sure it's going to be set to All-Star, but I can't confirm.

I'll also assume that you can use the Left Trigger (defensive assist) button to "bump guys off their path during the euro-step.

Really can't recall fouls being called on jumpers last year. That was nice

This game may not be top in its class yet, but I'm sold. I saw promise with last year's mess, and this looks like a great improvement. Still some rough areas, but I can look past most of them.

Heart has always been with Live and it hasn't felt right not having them as an option the past few years. So good for basketball fans to have this game back. Yes, I said it.. NBA Live is back. True fans of the game and franchise can relate.

The game looks good. A lot better than Live 14. The only thing that i dont like is the passing animation. It looks so unnatural to me.

I know, I just hope this is the reason for that.

Also, the midair shot change animations I've seen so far look like Live 14's, which are some of my least favorite animations (remind me of Live 2005's animation style, really old).

Overall it flows better and animation transition is better. Nothing ground breaking or amazing. Probably because they have been fighting to reach to the standards they had back in Oct. 2009. In some ways, at least from this video, they're not there yet. But there are also some things that look better.

Maybe it's just me, but it didn't turn to be exciting, just not much of the "wow" feeling that a new next-gen (or current-gen, if you will) sports game should create.

Decent overall, need to see more.

I copy that. Live is back. Many things to be proud of with Live 15. Franchise should only get better from here on.

Certainly looks worthy of giving the demo a fair chance. Should be able to pick it up for a good price soon with Black Friday & Cyber Monday just around the corner.

Not impressed in the slightest after watching that whole game. I can't for the life of me understand the direction they went with the way it animates. It looks like we're playing basketball on the moon. Its nice that the pace isn't as hectic as 2K's but its wrong in the way its trying to capture a true NBA pacing...Its like the polar opposite and still very off putting when they decide to take a jump shot, pass the ball or something as simple as run. These players have no BURST period. Look at what happened in the 3rd quarter when Westbrook stole the ball...His burst way non existent and way quickly caught up too.

The contact animations weren't as prevalent considering all the driving they did to the basket. I'm glad they showed this off, and now its off to try the demo. Nothing shown here is gonna make your average consumer put $60 off to the side considering the November titles coming out.

The game looked a hell of a lot better than I thought it would. I really want to get my hands on it to check it out for myself now. The animations were good for the most part and the dribbling was pretty fluid. I would've liked to seen them call some plays and seen a bit more interior D, but I can't knock them too hard from what I just watched. How this plays on higher difficulty levels and whether online is smooth or not will determine whether this becomes my primary basketball game this year.

I think we can all agree on one thing... Because EA doesn't have an exclusive on NBA, we have all benefited from the healthy competition between them and 2K. Let's be honest, it appears Live is going to be much improved this year and 2K continues to outdo themselves with their iteration of the NBA2K15... We all win with these gorgeous games because each developer is pushing each other to be better. Now if we can only get EA to give up that NFL exclusive!

Definitely enjoyed the stream overall...not necessarily wowed, but as someone who played Live 14 I can appreciate the improvement...

Game looks good...some of the non scanned faces were pretty rough (what's good with that Reggie Jackson? lol) but for the most part they were good.

The body types were more evident in pics than during game play...think they may have gone overboard with the muscles...JJ Reddick was ripped...but that visual stuff is minor...(for me)

Animations were better than I expected and smooth for be most part...makes the game look 100x more engaging. The signature style looked good from what I saw too...won't get a real feel for it until I get my hands on the game...

Only worry I have is defense...I'll take WTFs word for it about difficulty...but that's the first thing I'll be looking for when I fire this up tomorrow...

Is it just me or did off ball movement on offense seem nonexistent?

Automotion wasn't turned on...hopefully it makes a bigger difference than last year...I still don't get the point of it being off, lol
