Does anyone know if you can do the little things like rolling inbounds........****nning the baseline during an inbound or if they have jump balls?

One thing I am noticing on my 2nd day of playing its alot of clipping going on ...argh!!!!! Steph curry with the ghost steal......Not only did steph swipe at the ball for the steal ...his whole arm went through the player and he knocked the ball away....recovered it ..ran on a break...I couldnt do anything but say wdf and laugh.lmao...

For those of us wondering if we're playing the most updated build right now, I guess the supposed day one patch exists. I found this screen via the NLSC. Rose doesn't look like this right now in the game.

Yeah clipping becomes a lot more apparent on all star and above...I expect that in a video game though...I knew the "no clipping" idea that was floating around before launch wasn't possible yet, lol

Also, not sure if it was like this last year, but the CPU was nailing everything from the outside and from within the paint. I have a few more hours with the trial so I will try to get used to the controls and see if my impressions change. Right now, I'm leaning towards maybe waiting a while before I buy the game and get it on a discount.

Make sure you turn auto-motion on. It's in the settings, and it's off by default. Once you turn it on, you should see some more off-ball movement without calling a set play.

I would definitely buy the game if I knew for a fact that theyre gonna release a good solid patch or two that actually fixes stuff

I would wait till release and see what others have to say and go from there.

Copy and Paste that. You'll see some better movement from the offensive CPU AI (Bulls) as well as a quick basket at the end of the game by Rose (attempted). The game plays a ton better post Day 1 Patch. About midway through you'll see a pretty nice offensive set where Rose ends up with the FT Line jumper.

Granted, the defense was doubling me as Lebron and I was able to keep finding the oop, but at this point in the game, they were trying anything. Kevin Love and Lebron hit 3 back to back to back 3's at the end, but you saw Lebron with several GREAT shots, that missed, same with Dion.

I'm going to try to stream, as this wasn't the greatest exhibit of defense by the AI. I play some games that are insane defensively. I've also not seen a game over 50% PiP. I've seen 47-48%, but that's about it.

Again, the game was out of reach, so it may not be the best example, but you can clearly see me being able to bully Rose from getting into the lane with ease, and the CPU running some sets.

You need to create a new thread showing video footage of gameplay of live 15 much improved defense.Im going to purchase live 15 and experince alternative basketball this year instead of the stale series of nba 2k15.

If they take the same steps as Fifa, I expect clipping to be gone in a few years. If you watch instant replays on shots in the paint its not as bad as other areas in the game.

# 192 The 24th Letter @ 10/24/14 09:40 AM

Stop running up the score WTF

Nice video. This on all star?

Seems like the demo definitely is missing the patch...because the defense looked better here in this small dose.

# 193 WTF @ 10/24/14 09:53 AM

Yeah, I was laying it to them. The Love 3s in transition were heat checks lol. I was feeling it. Finally found the groove.

Allstar difficulty.

# 194 jfleming40 @ 10/24/14 10:42 AM

I downloaded the EA Access version. It tells me I have 6 hours left, but I can only do the tutorials or the finals preview.... How do I get to the other features?

# 195 WTF @ 10/24/14 10:43 AM

You have to play the Finals version first, then it'll let you unfortunately. Or thats how my retail was.

Yeah, there is a bit of clipping. See more in the paint now as well. I wish they had more collision detection on players bodies. It would take a bit of system resources to do, but I think it would be worth it. Hopefully they address and polish clipping in an upcoming patch.

Also. You can change your shot in mid air on lay-ups and dunks!!!!!!! First NBA Live since 05 to allow you to do so. It looks amazing!! Press X in mid-air after your shot. I pulled off a 360 lay-up and saw the defender and adjusted my own shot in mid-air to avoid the block. Should of recorded it lol

I had a similar play with LBJ

WTF, your vids are very encouraging. EA needs to tighten up their marketing because without your vids and input, I probably wouldn't be purchasing the game. It definitely seems like the D is better in your vids than others that we've seen. From the footage thats been released, it seems like Live has more "soul" than the other game. Its tough to really explain, although a good deal of it probably comes from the presentation and arena atmosphere, but Live just seems like it will be a very enjoyable game to play. Looking forward to next week.

I second this post!! The atmosphere looks much better than the other basketball game. Defense looks like it indeed exist! All of the other videos show minimal defense. I've always loved the ESPN layout, makes it feel more realistic.

Cant believe im saying this, im buying NBA Live 15. The game is just flat out fun to me. Dont get me wrong I love that other game, but there was just something about Live 15 while playing it. I see alot of potential for the future of this franchise. Theres still a bit of wonkiness, offense is a bit too overpowering but a patch can address that. It plays a decent fun game of basketball. Live is indeed back. Its not deep gameplay wise as the other game not even close, but the fun factor is there more so than the other game in my opinion. Gameplay wise I give it a 6.5 but again its fun. I cant put my finger on what exactly it is but I enjoyed playing it.
