Surprised CP3 Is leading the pack! 6 PG's, all in the 90's.....I wonder how many 90 players there are period....

EDIT: Just realized all the 3 cover boys are on this group...

Hey look, more screenshots! Beggars can't be choosers, I guess

Graphics are amazing, though.

I don't think CP3 should be at the top of that list.

I would probably have Russ slightly below Curry and Paul (Paul is a better defender than Curry so I have no issue with him being a point higher), and I think Dame is slightly overrated, but this is a good group. Tons of good PGs in the league this year.

ratings are pretty high this year but i do not mind, long as they are not op in the game. don't really like John Wall pic. looks the same as 15, wished they would have updated him, just a tad too dark as well

# 6 coolcras7 @ 09/08/15 03:06 PM

not a fan of the Wall and Paul screen shots, both look off

# 7 bkluvsm3 @ 09/08/15 03:15 PM

I don't think cp3 or John Wall was scanned that's why they look a lil off compared to Westbrook and Lillard who both are cover boys

# 8 pawalker03 @ 09/08/15 03:18 PM

1st off I'm not gonna boost Live head up and say they graphics look better than 2k cause they are not. Not saying the graphics are bad but there not 2k. 2nd people were upset about the 2k ratings but these are not better. Personally Curry should be 1 westbrook 2 and CP 3 And there's no way Dame should be anything over a 88 and that's me being generous

The graphics are not impressive for a game on next gen consoles. They still have that cartoon style look to them, and the Chris Paul and John Wall screens are not accurate.

Well...at least we have something

# 11 Tonyattia @ 09/08/15 03:36 PM

Live generally starts the year with high ratings, but at the end of last year nobody was above a 94 so I'm not tripping. Do wish I could see Kyrie and steph, but we'll see in a week. Jerseys look a lot better,and you can see the difference in the arm definition of each player. I think they all look good besides cp3

It's just Lives expressions that can throw players off....

CP3 was one of my favorite scans last year, and this looks nothing like that. I doubt it's changed for the worse....just the expression he's making.

I think overall the graphics look good....not floored by them but Live has their own art style and I'm a fan....

Not feeling them ratings....seems arcady like...well we'll see next Tuesday.

# 14 Tonyattia @ 09/08/15 03:49 PM

Speaking of ratings, it looks like they have the same ratings from last year, and I think they need to add a few more. A floater rating, box out, hands, awareness, and post fade/hook.

I'm usually not one to worry about ratings but these do seem high. I mean Kyrie being 93 from long range? He is a good shooter but he's no 3 point specialist. If this is how the PGs are rated I'm a bit scared to see what the SGs and SFs look like.

Not sure what their scale is or what Is taken into account besides percentage( like number of attempts or average defender proximity) but Kyrie shot 41.5 percent from downtown last year, curry shot 44.3 percent. And curry has a 98 rating, compared to kyries 93, a 5 point difference. The do have ratings modifiers for being guarded or off the dribble so that will separate guys from the stand still shooters.

I'm not feeling these they seem overall too high.

# 18 Lancio23 @ 09/08/15 04:08 PM

Maybe I'm the only one that's thinks that cp3 looks good. But I wish they had did a better job on J. Wall.

Curry is not as complete as those two overall. He is a phenomenal shooter and has great handles and vision, but his defense is not as good as Paul or Westbrook.

Don't forget that Synergy also drives shooting %s, even more so this year...
