So, ea didn't Ship to where I live on Canada. Major fail!

Re: NBA Live 15 and First In-Game Update Available Today, Post Your Impressions
 

That's what you get for being America's top hat Nick. Hopefully you get it soon!

This seems like a high-quality patch. I'm on the fence with this game. I really want a new NBA experience, and I'm happy that there's actual competition in the NBA video game arena! However, I'm wary to spend the full amount on this. Wish I had EA Access.

Re: NBA Live 15 and First In-Game Update Available Today, Post Your Impressions
 

I saw EA updated the Cav's court so I wanted to check it out. Also wanted to see if they snuck in face scan for Elfrid Payton (they didn't yet) so I took the Magic to cleveland.

The court looked great. LeBron, Love and Kyrie destroyed me.

The Cav's jumped out to a 10-4 lead and then kept increasing the lead.

I was down by 18 at Half. Midway through the 3rd when it got to be a 22 pt cav's lead I switched sides. Holy smokes, no wonder, the Cav's are amazing to use.

So far playing the Early Access and then the full game the main thing I am impressed with is bad teams are bad and good teams are really good. The ratings really matter and if this is synergy's doing then ALL HAIL SYNERGY. This is the first EA game that I have played (and I have played a ton of them) where team ratings matter. So I am sitting here thinking who I can use to beat the Cav's and jeez who to beat the Spurs with?

Every other EA game I choose a lower rated team just so I don't destroy the CPU.

In my experience with NBA live 15, you choose a weak team and you are going to struggle against better teams.

The patch has smoothed things out. I have only played 2 games post patch so I am still noticing/investigating the changes.

Going to another city for it right now because I didn't take the day off work for this.

The guy at eBay gamessaid they ddidn't order because nobody bought the game last year lol

Re: NBA Live 15 and First In-Game Update Available Today, Post Your Impressions
 

Just like the EA Access version (XB1), the game is still way too easy on Superstar level. It feels like I'm playing on Pro level. Beat the Cavs, Spurs and OKC all with the Utah Jazz (on the road) and the closest game is where I won by 12 points (against Cleveland). Wanted to play the top 3 teams using one of the worst teams to prove this point.

I have yet to lose a game in Live 15.

Re: NBA Live 15 and First In-Game Update Available Today, Post Your Impressions
 

How are you winning?

Like tell me some secrets. I am not joking either.

Are you catch and shooting? Because if I pass it I see a green shoot icon but if wait at all the cpu will close in and turn my icon red.

I can do some dribble moves to get penetration but nothing is guaranteed.

The CPU can drive on me pretty easily but they have that videogame force field on their D end, if you drive they push you back and there is some auto pick up dribble thing that happens. Meanwhile I body the CPU up and they can retain their dribble.

CPU also backside rebounds way better than my team does.

Just give me 2 or 3 things to try.

Re: NBA Live 15 and First In-Game Update Available Today, Post Your Impressions
 

Yeah I want hear it too.

The game is a challenge especially after the update and the cpu goes on some unstoppable streaks.

It's challenging, fun and rewarding all wrapped in one.

This game is really good.

Re: NBA Live 15 and First In-Game Update Available Today, Post Your Impressions
 

Don't know if this helps but All Star is Best Difficulty Imo I also play with Shooting and Free throw Ratings Only with all play calling and motion on auto getting good games

Re: NBA Live 15 and First In-Game Update Available Today, Post Your Impressions
 

For some reason I don't get the halftime show anymore

Re: NBA Live 15 and First In-Game Update Available Today, Post Your Impressions
 

Hope this is isolated...

Re: NBA Live 15 and First In-Game Update Available Today, Post Your Impressions
 

Ratings only? Does that mean release doesn't factor in at all?

Re: NBA Live 15 and First In-Game Update Available Today, Post Your Impressions
 

Yeah curious about this. I read here, not sure what thread, but I saw a post where a user said that the CPU shoots 3's like crazy on PRO but the shooting percentages are way better on All Star.

Re: NBA Live 15 and First In-Game Update Available Today, Post Your Impressions
 

I can tell you if you play to far off on D, then yes the cpu is gonna jack it up all game. Especially shooters but that happens in the REAL LIFE NBA lol.

Re: NBA Live 15 and First In-Game Update Available Today, Post Your Impressions
 

5 stores and two cities it took me to get my hands on live lol

How long does it take to install for my ps4 user's?

Re: NBA Live 15 and First In-Game Update Available Today, Post Your Impressions
 

Now I remember why I don't play online much. Guy quit on me at halftime. Looks like I didn't get the win.:jpshakehe

Re: NBA Live 15 and First In-Game Update Available Today, Post Your Impressions
 

I was just at walmart and didn't see it in the game section. Is NBA Live 15 not in Toronto right now ??

try the demo, its up for the xbox and should be available for the ps4 sometime today

i agree which is why i refused to use my LUT team until i got better players plus it doesnt help if your not good yet on the sticks on this game lol, but overall you going to work hard if you using a low rated team or player in this game

Re: NBA Live 15 and First In-Game Update Available Today, Post Your Impressions

Patch made a big difference to the game! Better spacing, better controls - overall I had a real fun game (first with 15) which I won with a smooth buzzer beater 3 by Kobe. Most shots are still off but some of them (like Kobes) do feel very smooth and responsive.

Feel a bit more optimistic about the future of Live now after this patch. Still ways to go of course.

Re: NBA Live 15 and First In-Game Update Available Today, Post Your Impressions
 

That's what I DONT want to hear. Hopefully that doesn't become a "thing"

yea i can't stand when ppl quit, its why i don't play online as well. But you should see your win once EA looks in to, is usually what happens with their games online for all sports.

Re: NBA Live 15 and First In-Game Update Available Today, Post Your Impressions
 

I live in Brampton and couldn't find it. Found it at the Walmart in square one. They only had 4 copies.

Re: NBA Live 15 and First In-Game Update Available Today, Post Your Impressions
 

Flight how long have you had the game? You are like Red in Shawshank Redemption. Always can get your hands on anything at any time lol

Re: NBA Live 15 and First In-Game Update Available Today, Post Your Impressions
 

Wasn't gonna buy it after trying the access and then reading you guys in here, I just picked it up at lunch...

I think the game might be giving me another six hour trial, hmm...

Re: NBA Live 15 and First In-Game Update Available Today, Post Your Impressions
 

Just spoke to the lady at my local EB here in Mississauga and she said my pre-ordered copy was the only copy they were getting and that EB Canada wasn't going to stock the game unless you pre-ordered it.

Walmart might be some of your guys' only option.

Really pumped to try this. Don't get off work till 4 but I'm hoping to get off early.

Is pro and 5 min quarters only way you can play LUT? I can't find an option to change it

Re: NBA Live 15 and First In-Game Update Available Today, Post Your Impressions
 

Best gameplay ever for I'm all for "feel" of controls and player hang time and weight. There's rhythm and spacing feels great. I just got the game I traded other company and I must say EA did a terrific job on visuals and gameplay. Other company needs to start updating too on player scans. Kyrie Irving new player scan is amazing finally he was captured perfectly.

That's what I was told. Pre order was the only way to get live at eb Canada smh. Not worried because I have it now. Next I'll preorder lol

Re: NBA Live 15 and First In-Game Update Available Today, Post Your Impressions
 

Don't know about 15 but that's the way it was in 14 smh

Just picked up my preorder, let's do it

Re: NBA Live 15 and First In-Game Update Available Today, Post Your Impressions
 

What the ???? EB games Canada not carrying the game unless you pre-ordered ? Thats the dumbest thing I've ever heard. They carry Barbie and deer hunter games but not Live 15.

Sorry, not the place for this....my rant is over.

One last point.....I'm surprised EA would allow that. Wouldn't they want EB to push/stock and sell their game ?

Re: NBA Live 15 and First In-Game Update Available Today, Post Your Impressions
 

Not gonna lie I wasn't impressed when I first popped the game in. After two games the patch was ready to be installed..

I don't wanna speak too soon but man I am liking this more each game. It is definitely going to take most users a while to get the hang of it. But so far I have seen some sequences that I've never experienced in a basketball game before.. and that's saying a lot.

Most of them have come during trainsition opportunities or when the pace really picks up during the game. It feels like basketball.

Will have more later but I'm very optimistic about how good this thing might be as we advance through the season.

I find it to be a challenge on All-Star as well, but unlike another game I've played the CPU runs feel organic and earned. Not just an arbitrary thing the game is imposing on me.

Re: NBA Live 15 and First In-Game Update Available Today, Post Your Impressions
 

Took less than 20 mins to install on ps4👌

The learn live was frustrating because I wanted to skip n couldn't
