Sounds like they took a lot of the criticism directed at 2k's MyPark mode and applied it to their Pro-Am mode. Not a bad philosophy.

Yep this question cleared up some clear points.

	Will we see teams stacked with 7 footers or will there be some restrictions there as well? Sean � NOPE!!!! There are height/weight and skill caps based on the size and position of your created player. No 7-foot athletic wing players draining 3�s in NBA LIVE!!

# 3 Teddy_Long @ 08/13/15 10:50 AM

6 teams available in the demo?

# 4 hesko @ 08/13/15 10:51 AM

seems to be a pattern with this from my prospective, but hey they did it! much props to ea if the comp won't listen.

Sounds good.

# 7 KennyJ1976 @ 08/13/15 10:55 AM

Is competition back? Sounds like it, but we'll see in September.

	Can you use NBA players in either mode? Sean � you can�t play as an NBA player in either mode but you compete against NBA players in some of the tournament levels in all locations within Summer Circuit.

Concerns answered.

Now all I need to know is how long that demo will be available because I will definitely try it out when I get time away from school.

From the 15th on, I believe.

The LiveRun and SummerCircuit demos right? Also, on as in until release or on as in indefinitely?

# 11 m1ke_nyc @ 08/13/15 11:09 AM

These guys most definitely listened to what the community hated about these modes in the other game and made sure those issues didn't exist in their game. Great interview. Trailer looked awesome. Still wanna play first but looks like Live is back.

Glad you have to play to gain XP. Pay to win is what kills modes like these in other games.

It's Live Run, Summer Circuit, and 6 teams in tip off. I'm not sure if it'll be available indefinitely, but I don't see why they'd pull it.

All of these features sound great, but just lip service until we get our hands on the demo and see how this year's game plays. Tons of content in a game that still plays and feels like junk is self defeating.

# 15 Gilley @ 08/13/15 11:19 AM

I love it. It looks like we have competition!

# 16 KareemEasy @ 08/13/15 11:20 AM

Props to EA for that, they leave micro transaction for mode like Ultimate Team.
The VC in 2K is a mess

# 17 fatboirob @ 08/13/15 11:21 AM

Competition, competition, competition!!! Can't wait to boot up that Demo on the 15th...... Hopefully Live is back!!

It sounds good and the trailer looked really nice. It had a totally different vibe than 2k which is great. Hopefully both games continue to push each other to get that much better. Football is seeing that now too with FIFA and PES and the fans are the ones really benefiting.

# 19 lakers24 @ 08/13/15 11:47 AM

I hope this is good, I really do because we need a change of pace. As a sports gamer I'm tired of 2 things: 1, not having the options I used to have just a decade ago and 2. the games I do have left being ruined by micro-transactions and being damn near broken and unstable for periods of time.

# 20 huntt26 @ 08/13/15 12:01 PM

Sounds pretty cool. Hopefully the gameplay follows suit.
