Got some more time with the game and it's pretty good. I feel in control of my players. Turning auto motion on auto helps a lot.

My biggest gripe with gameplay is the lack of post moves. It's been this way with live forever. Big men seem to only dunk or shot the same hook shot. No matter who it is.

OK so i NEED to know Your Bulls VS Pacers vid makes the game look REAL good. And hats because of the camera angle. As you know espn camera changes per stadium and EA broadcast does not.

I want to know iF the ea broadcast camera was what was used for the bulls vs pacers video?

If it turns out that is the espn one then that means itll a rarity and only looks good when your play against chicago at home.

can you upload another bulls video but this time MAKING SURE its the EA Broadcast camera?

becasue IF the ea broadcast camera looks like that universally for every arena then I AM SOLD

I'm not seeing that. The CPU runs wayyyy to many isolation sets and not enough ball movement.

I did like seeing that stretch 4s are typically positioned on the perimeter.

Love the crowd noise but they over do it a little in regular season games. I was down 15 at home with the Wizards and the crowd was still chanting defense like it was the last possession of the game.

Love the responsiveness and the control. No sliding at all.

I just wish the game was deeper. More modes, options, sliders etc. Without them the game feels incomplete.

# 104 Dizmode @ 10/23/14 11:41 AM

So why is every person in the paint throwing up so odd looking layup putback or hook????...Really...I like the spacing look but some of those animations. Just going by the videos posted

I'm hoping that after the Live team does some tweaking here and there, that maybe they will begin to implement new modes, NHL 15 style.

For the love of all things

nba please let that bulls vid be using the ea broadcast cam

# 107 The 24th Letter @ 10/23/14 12:11 PM

That Jimmy Butler stop, then quick change of pace dribble into the dunk by the CPU was NICE.

Just hate that the animation completely stops and starts before he goes up. The Live team has to figure out these transition animations..

Updated impressions after more play time:

I really wished this game was good ... but its not. At all. Sorry but there is so much wrong with it that I cant even start to list all of the errors. These are the most frustrating ones:

- the general offensive movement of your player is really bad, takes you out of control all the time
- spacing isnt that great either. Players stick to their man without collapsing (could be because I�m not used to the game yet and cant get by defenders)
- bad animations when the game is moving (like catching the ball etc.)
- shooting is an absolute joke (milliseconds to release)
- Passing is very frustrating as I hit the wrong player all lot of times
- CPU AI very questionable (8 seconds to go till halftime and the CPU dribbles the ball up slowly just to throw a half court shot at the buzzer)

Positives are still the graphics and presenation. But apart from that I cant find much that I like at the moment. In some areas its improved but the overall gameplay is a bit of mess right now to be honest. I predict review scores similar to last year.

Update: It looks better than it plays I have to say after watching youtube videos.

Did you play a lot of '14?

# 110 swac07 @ 10/23/14 12:25 PM

Are any of you seeing a large amount of jump passes?...its this weird overhead pass in the air the cpu does when it doesnt have to at times...

After 4 games this game isnt Sim to me I'd put it in the arcade category...thats not a bad thing if I just want something to play...but as far as a real nba simulation goes..its just not happening right now with 15.I'll have to see what live 16 talking about...and someone mentioned synergy...last night when I booted up the game again it said downloading synergy...was that just an empty message or did it really download synergy?

I bought 14 and played some yes. But not a lot obviously

I did see some good stuff in 14 but find it hard to see somethig positive in 15 atm.

Knew it.

The reason why THAT ESPN specific camera looks so good and makes the game and player animations look so good is the angling(that a word?)

Any ever notice? and this has been true for madden and fifa recently
that when you zoom player animations looks ok, same with nba live 15 close ups make the game looks decent HOWEVER the ea action cam and easports broadcast cams do not because of the angles chosen.

YOU NEED to have the camera pulled back as it is on the bulls espn cam so that it reflects the spacing more...

Kinda ticked that the development team doesnt recognize WHEN their game actually looks good in a camera angle so that they can sell it better

I messaged Sean Lets Hope SOME kind of recourse action can be made

# 114 Gorilla Glass @ 10/23/14 12:37 PM

I'm curious to know what's everyone's opinion of court to player ratio.

Personally I like it. It seems that I have more room to move and manage the ball in NBAL.

The court is definitely larger than that of its competitor.

Rather have that then 2k's player models. Dwight howard looks like Kevin Durant in real life

# 116 The 24th Letter @ 10/23/14 12:40 PM

I like the court\player ratio a lot....in fact it's proof you can have fairly "big" sized players without sacrificing spacing....

This^^^^

sidenote Anthony Davis has to be the worst looking face in live 15

Damian Lillard's face scan still amazes me in game it looks very good

I know one thing 2k and live both need to chill with letting these players read....they sound horrible

Players look too small in comparison to the court...doesn't look realistic to me at all. I undersrand some prefer the smaller players/bigger court so those that like more room to maneuver will be a fan.

# 119 WTF @ 10/23/14 12:59 PM

Today is a good day...

I'll have my impressions a little later.

# 120 The 24th Letter @ 10/23/14 01:02 PM

How's everyone's drive and kick game?

I was too busy learning to even check it out thoroughly ....

I know the CPU would glue their man most of the type last year and not react to drives....same with the pick and pop...popper would rarely be open because the D wouldn't help...
