Today Electronic Arts Inc. launched NBA LIVE 16 on Xbox One, the all-in-one games and entertainment system from Microsoft, and PlayStation�4 computer entertainment system. NBA LIVE 16 highlights the brand-new LIVE PRO-AM mode, as well as the new LIVE Motion physics system. Players can express themselves both on and off the court with new gameplay mechanics, fresh gear and kicks, plus new ways to play.

LIVE PRO-AM provides players the chance to rise together with online team-play mode LIVE Run and the new cooperative Summer Circuit mode. In LIVE Run up to 10 players can compete in online games to 21 points on iconic courts like Rucker Park, Venice Beach, Terminal 23 and more. Summer Circuit allows up to five players to travel around North America challenging all-star teams as they try to become the true kings of the court. Those who have played the NBA LIVE 16 demo on Xbox One or PS4 will be able to carry over created player progress and unlocked gear, getting a leg up on the competition.

Players can find the perfect gear to express their personality, with hundreds of shirts, shoes, sneakers, and more available from top brands. Players can also get themselves in the game with the official NBA LIVE Companion (available on the App Store and Google Play) featuring GameFaceHD. This exclusive mobile scanning technology allows fans to quickly and easily scan their face and upload it to their in-game character.

Created characters can also be used in Rising Star career mode (retaining all progression across modes), and aspiring GMs can try their hand at running a NBA franchise in Dynasty mode. Players looking to build an unbeatable crew of both modern stars and past greats can jump into LIVE Ultimate Team, and those hoping to either relive or rewrite history can check out LIVE Rewind and Big Moments. Newcomers or players looking to build their skill base can jump into Learn LIVE, with multiple options for drills and practice sessions.

Fans will also be treated to enhanced gameplay in NBA LIVE 16 thanks to the new LIVE Motion physics system. Players move with purpose and react intelligently to try and get open with cuts and off-ball screens. Plus, new mechanics like touch passing and dribble handoffs make it easier than ever to orchestrate the offense and make the big play. In addition to all these features, new shot mechanics, shot meter and feedback give players instant information to help them learn exactly when to release the ball. With the variety of modes, options and gameplay upgrades, there’s something in NBA LIVE 16 for everyone.

I just played the most exciting video BB GAME in a long time. Also before the start I had an update on my Xbox one, and if I'm not crazy the game played so much better. Just from defense and all around. I was my Knicks Vs 76ers, it was a tight game. I had the lead at half by 5, they fought back and I wind up losing by 117-111, I dropped 50 with Melo and I wasn't being a ball hog with him, he just played the star of the team like he is suppose to be. I loved hearing three!!!!! When I was shooting them. I'm just saing it was a exiting game. My 6 year old son was watching and he was cheering me on lol it was just a fun experience.. Thx for reading

I kno man ....it appears that way this game is very solid if they can some how add in more animations both on offense and defense and Patch in the ability To Edit PLAYERS this game can be great pick up months from now

The only issues I've run into so far that need patching on animations when shooting off a pick and roll, almost 65-70% of the time off a screen the player shoots it with a quick animation jumper and almost never goes in. As well as in a fast break style, pushing up the floor pace if you pass it to someone ahead of you they don't stop until the reach the corner. Again, just some tiny refinements needed from my experience so far playing the full game. Setting the game to Superstar difficulty and adjusting the shooting sliders for the CPU to 30 have provided the best experience so far. Also, I'm a big fan of what they added to the post up offense, feels natural to me, and it's very satisfying when you can post someone up and bust out a spin move to throw up a hook shot / floater or slam.

# 124 chisportsfan23 @ 10/04/15 05:17 AM

Another thing I've noticed. Not all teams have all of their alternate jerseys. Example, Houston doesn't have their alternate red/yellow/white jersey in game. Which is surprising given they use it frequently throughout the season. Really wanting an update pushed out here soon with some face scans, jerseys, gameplay improvements. When do you guys think we'll see the next update?

# 125 Calvenn @ 10/04/15 07:38 AM

There are several missing jerseys that should be updated as the year progresses similar to last year. We don't have a specific date at this point (I asked a similar question and received a response from one of the game changers) but rest assured patches and graphic updates to further refine the game are on the way according to him.

# 126 Tomba @ 10/04/15 11:06 AM

I feel theres a very cavalier thinking to player editing by the team. I mean we know that they can edit the ratings and equip themselves with ni real glitching issues yet they do nkt simply unlock it for us.

I think they should patch it in because Pro-AM doesn't really have longevity like they think it does and I don't always want to play online.

# 128 Tomba @ 10/04/15 12:06 PM

They can patch it in no excuse at all not to

# 129 PS4FR3Ak @ 10/04/15 12:07 PM

I'm loving it baby

Honestly, they have to make this a top priority this year to patch in editing if at all possible. I've written my fair share of praises for the game but there'a a time to be critical and this is one of them. This omission should not be allowed to stand. I've come across too many examples already where editing would have been the solution. I sincerely hope the devs are reading and that this need is being conveyed to the top and is being discussed for inclusion in a patch. It would instantly vault the game to another level in my opinion.

# 131 Flightwhite24 @ 10/04/15 12:53 PM

I would be shocked if they add editing in this year. We are talking about EA here. Editing will be touted as a NEW FEATURE for Live 17 to help push sales. Gotta keep it real fellas

I think we all should EA the benefit of tr doubt just for now, to see what the team comes up with as far as patches. They did have some good parches last year. I'm defending anything, just like the game and would like to see it to succeed.

No one is really bashing EA or anything but it's hard to give them the benefit of the doubt with there past history. I do agree FF I want the game to succeed.

Again I will say the game is evolving for the better. Had another update that I downloaded today and I'm liking what I see. Kudos to EA for that but me expecting editing to be patched in this year? Not gonna hold my breath. The game is what it is. A decent effort with a long ways to go.

I think we as a community have to take to twitter and any ither secondary notiraty they use. If they read stuff here i dont know if its listened to

# 135 bran9413 @ 10/04/15 04:49 PM

They need to patch this stuff in because they've proven in the past that they're pretty slow with roster updates and weren't consistent with player ratings until the playoffs last year.

# 136 The 24th Letter @ 10/04/15 07:16 PM

Anyone seen a game winner yet?

Just wondering If they do better with celebrations this year...

Not much better. Celebration for 3-4 seconds, then wrap up as normal.

Man, me and the same guy just matched up 3 times in a row in OH2H... where is everyone? wasn't even this bad last year...

Could be server issues....for the NBAPD error 2 out of those 3 matchup's and 2 times out of 5 PRO AM games...

EA is usually strong on the server side so I'm assuming there are some blips going on...
