Not really a big deal, since Live 14 was 50% Live 13 (or that's how it looked like). It's an illusion that makes you think that Live 15 made a HUGE jump in 1 year. I love Live 15's graphics, but it's because it was their first official next-gen game when it comes to graphics.

I like how Live 16's colors are more saturated, it makes it much more appealing.

Looks awesome! I really enjoyed 15, but the game modes didn't satisfy me in the long run. I'm looking forward to E3 information.

I am definitely pre-ordering NBA 2k16, but I hope this is good. I wouldn't get it at launch but maybe later if the reviews are good. At least give us good gameplay and a good career and franchise modes. Its been years it shouldn't take this long to make something good with all the resources EA has.

PS4 cover looks great cuz of the PS4 box colors. As for Russ in the game, wow. Looks really good but what was phenomenal to me was the facial animation and emotion. The way Russ looked at Beverly as he crossed back over to his right gave me chills. Did notice Beverly's snap-back turn animation and the dunk looked very Live-ish which was not good but we'll see more later.

Good first look, good to know that they'll be at E3 as well.

To be honest, they made a good enough game (for me) last year that if they simply added these things to 16 I would buy it for sure:

1. roster editing
2. player customization (gear and accessories, ratings)
3. more options for rising star/create a player (shooting form, free throw routine)
4. gameplay sliders

Missing those 'features' made me eventually sell the game last year, and it would be a hard sell for me if they still aren't in this year. In any case, good to have Live news this early and looking forward to more info and impressions at E3.

Nice to see everyone back to the live boards. Looking forward to the discussions.

I doubt we see any major changes to the animations. It's live. What I hope is the little things which are very important and why I still feel 10 is the best. That post/link with all the vids summed up very well what live needs.

Oh man, I first read it as someone actually PM'ed you that edit-player was in. What a let down.

Hopefully this never-before-seen-in-a-video-game feature is in this time.

Games looks great so far
