EA Sports has just released some NBA Live 16 gameplay videos. It includes a couple of quick videos from the Summer Circuit in Brooklyn, performance after the Pro-Am game and a look at the new playcalling system.
AI still needs work. What was number 8 doing on defense in the last clip? On a simple pick and roll play, he just leaves Kevin Durant wide open one pass away. LOL.
Seems EA is banking on Create a Player/Pro-Am. And maybe there online stability. The animations looked to be smoother. But Live is just playing catch up at this point. They are implementing things 1-2 years later. ie. face scan, myplayer, taking your player online ect. Next year they will probably introduce body scans also. They are making yearly improvements but they are not leading. They are following.
Animations were definitely smoother and less rigid for the most part. Unfortunately, with only a minute of gameplay, the defensive improvements weren't able to be shown.
Looks like they got OKC fans standing until after the Thunder scores their first basket! I wonder if they'd stay standing if you went scoreless the whole game

He's late to react to the Westbrook drive, which means he's late to react to the pass, but Westbrook had an open dunk if he wanted it, which is why the defender is crashing down so hard.
I can't find it but I know they've said it multiple places and even replied to a 2K tweet about body scanning saying they've had it in the game already.
Also notice how the transparency of the play diagram changes throughout the play. It allows you to see the next step of the play design and anticipate it before it happens.
The lighting on the street ball stage was Freaking Magnificent!!! Still see some "funky" stuff animation wise/passes..ehh...like the live 95 cam tho...wish it was real "gameplay" instead of snippet, but hey i'll take what I can get...Definitely looks improved though
