So. I downloaded the demo when it came out and it was 23 GB which is the entire game of NBA Live 16 just with parts blocked off. Now for the trial instead of unlocking those parts I have to redownload a completely different version of the full game of 23 GB? Am I missing something? Because that really sucks if true.

I was thinking the same thing. But if you look it just says "Installing", so maybe it doesn't have to download all 26GB.

Will see soon I hope.

Interesting, We don't get the game until the 1st in Australia, When does the game officially launch?

Wow, was hoping to see some actual impressions by now. I'm on PS4, so no EA Access.

The ability to edit is there all they have to do is unlock it come on ea do it for us

Yeah I guess this really shows you how many people have PS4's and how many with Xbox One's don't have EA Access...

I thought with all the chatter (good and bad) about the demo I figured there would be even more brought up now with the full release...

I personally have downloaded it and will put in some time tonight and report back...

# 15 BiggD @ 09/24/15 12:18 AM

thinking of signing up to EA access tonight, i've been getting really good results with the game...pretty excited to play with some other teams

The main problem is though most people havent pre ordered it because they are waiting. And for some reason even though the demo was the full game download that unlocks on release day. You have to download the entire game again for ea access and its 25gb. So i know for me downloading that much takes atleast 12 hours. So i think a lot of people are probly just waiting on that. I expect tomorrow we will have a lot more impressions

I didn't have to download the game, the again I had already purchased it from the Xbox store. When I went to download it looked like it was gonna start, it sent me to the installing games section but nothing was there. Then after a few seconds to started up. I loaded up ultimate team and got my free packs thsn I went back to pro am. I'm totally loving pro am btw. It's addicting. Trying to get my character up. I splurged on some skills as soon as I could lol. Look for me. Gamer tag: I play afternoon/ evenings(2-8ish Est.) and early in the morning (5-8am Est)

Alrighty.
Got 2 dynasty games 1 tip off game and 1 pro am game done.
Pro am. Not many people online so I couldn't do to much but it definetly seemed better than the demo. Inside scoring seemed toned way down which was good. I really enjoyed the game but unfortunately with no one online I could only play the one game.
Offline.
Mixed bag really. I love the pick and roll game. The shooting is smooth. the dribbling and movements in general felt more responsive than the demo to me. graphics are sometimes very good and sometimes not so much. For example hill on the Pacers looks amazing and almost photo realistic then you have derozan who looks completely weird. Presentation I'm a big fan of.
On the other side. The inside game is an absolute disaster. I just can't sugar coat it. Its just bad. Honestly almost worse than bad. I moved the slider for post move, inside shooting and post shots I think they we're called all to zero and it helped but still not good. Also the layups and dunks that trigger near the three point line are just plain obnoxious and need to go . These I feel are the 2 biggest issues that need to be worked on.
One last point. In my honest opinion you need to have all the fouls sliders and contact sliders at 100 to get realistic results.

All in all I honestly am really enjoying the game and I'd say it's a good effort and actually fairly close to a great effort. Its got issues sure, but I can definetly say my short time with it so far has been fun.
