Very nice announcement, Im glad we can do private lobbies reduces the wait time for games even more. All I played is online on live 15 this year no different. Anyone need someone to game with let me know, I'm online starting the 15th lol.

dont know how good it really is, but im glad its in.

- 5v5 to 21.
3v3 is fun but in 2k14 I spent almost all my time on 5v5.
Hated that all 5v5 was only at Rec (and stage but stage is not something i liked even a bit) - Rec took sometimes too long and with the wrong teammates, games felt even longer.

- matchmaking and private lobbies
that is huge for me. it was so hard to play against some friends cause on 2k somebody had to steal a spot all the time. with more and more L3 in the game it got even harder to play some friendly games.

- special rewards you can unlock only by playing.

- more different looking courts. I played 3000+ games in 2k14 and close too 3000 now in 15 and having more unique courts is great to keep it fresh.

- playing together with other friends myplayers against NBA players.

edit:

after reading the interview - level up by playing took a big hit again. at first it looked like you only level up by playing online, now it says rising star and onlien shares the same player.

I'm still limited in what I can say about gameplay, but the roles are very important to success in Live Run and Summer Circuit. Things like pick and pops/rolls, cutting, spacing, etc all make a huge difference if you do them.

No lie, this is essentially the exact idea I had in my head that I was gonna post in my thread lol. Pretty cool! I wish you could do the Summer Circuit part offline though (this is where my idea differs) as it reminds me so much of NBA 2k's old 24/7 mode.

You can play by yourself with the CPU against the CPU teams.

You can do it :

Summer Circuit would figure to be the most distinct offering in NBA Live 16, online or offline. Users must create a player (using a face-scanning app on a mobile device if they like; more on this later) and then run co-operative matchups against a series of CPU-controlled teams. Bot teammates are available if a user prefers (or if enough human teammates aren't on hand).
