Today Electronic Arts Inc. (NASDAQ: EA) announced NBA LIVE 16 is bringing basketball fans new ways to compete online with the introduction of LIVE Pro-Am.

First off is LIVE Run, giving players a smooth and stable online pick-up game with up to nine friends on storied courts like Rucker Park, Venice Beach, Jordan Terminal 23 and more. Joining LIVE Run is the brand new Summer Circuit, an online co-op mode where players will travel across North America squaring off against NBA superstars on a journey to dominate the court. LIVE Pro-Am will be available to try for free starting September 15 via download on Xbox Live and PlayStation Network.

At the heart of LIVE Pro-Am is you. Use your created player across LIVE Run, Summer Circuit and the Rising Star career mode. Playing games in any of these modes will earn you SP (Skill Points) to upgrade your skills using our new progression system and RP (Reward Points) to purchase authentic gear in the LIVE Spot store. Customize your player from head to toe with the latest kicks and gear from leading apparel brands including Jordan, or get some ink from world-renowned tattooist Randy Harris. NBA LIVE 16 also introduces a new companion mobile app featuring GameFaceHD, the exclusive mobile scanning tech which can be used to quickly and easily scan your face and upload it into the game. GameFaceHD will be available for free download on mobile devices starting September 8, and all scanned faces can be used when LIVE Pro-Am launches for free on September 15. Your created character�s progression and reward unlocks will be carried over into the full game when NBA LIVE 16 launches on September 29.

I knew it was coming, been staking out waiting for these infamous words.

EA just needs to scrap this game and focus on NBA Street!

About the demo, will our character progress carry over to the full version?

You all need to go watch qjb's impressions on YouTube. He mentions the cpu ai, and how strong it is. It's a different ball game this year fellas.

How did anyone watch that video and become bothered by animations?

Feel like people have canned complaints ready to go when information drops about either game.

I'm in the same boat, I'll be honest I'm expecting the animations to look slightly better than last year. Some will still look weird and I don't expect the Post game to be fully fleshed out as it should be

. But playing 5 on 5 will hide some of those inconsistencies as far as animations go. I'm worried about the Defense mainly. Can I lock someone down playing good defense in these modes?? Still no excuse ... EA has a solid foundation on modes time to get these animations right

I can't tell you how many times I've seen "looks improved but it still sucks" or "live will always be garbage" like did you even watch the video?!?!

I actual like the idea of the Summer Circuit. It kind of reminds me if the older NBA Street games. I also like co-op style online play oppose to competitive human vs human matches.

Now I just hope the gameplay lives up to the hype. Everything looks and sounds promising but so haven't many other past Live games.

# 94 Freakstyle29 @ 08/13/15 03:30 PM

This is my first post and I am very pleased to see this and love how smooth the animations are in the Kevin Durant sequence between 52-57 seconds of the video

# 95 Rockie_Fresh88 @ 08/13/15 03:30 PM

I'm so excited for next month . Looks like Ima have 2 basketball games it feels like Christmas lol

Same thing happens with Madden. Some people already have their mind made up. Even if they watch the video they'll just hone in on the negatives they see.

I'm more of a 2K guy but really the same thing can be said about 2K. If you are someone that isn't or hasn't been a fan of 2K's gameplay chances are they won't add or change anything that will change the minds of these people. At least we are fortunate enough to have options on basketball videogames and it looks like we will get two quality games this year.

I'm with you.

I haven't played Live since this game:

Spoiler

Looking forward to giving it another shot after what I've seen from them so far this year.

Pap I need you on the hardwood man you know its gone be filled with new NBA Live players!!

# 99 lakers24 @ 08/13/15 04:49 PM

I just can't get myself hype yet. I'm interested (bought both 14 and 15 and saw the progress) I'm just tired of getting burned by both games so i'm taking a guarded approach. As much as I love ball I'm probably gonna wait until after a few days or weeks.

# 100 Chemthethriller @ 08/13/15 04:52 PM

I want to be hyped but I just wish the 5v5 was a full game setting not up to 21 with no fouls.
