I'm playing the cavs vs thunder intro game....
My take...first things first...Where was this live 3 yrs ago??????!!!
Atmosphere and courts are A+
I like this default camera angle
Faces are really spot on or a big miss
Body types hit and miss
The controls are fluid ...kudos
Presentation flows better this yr....halftime is ok but jalen just says they or he when referring to a team or player..which kills the immersion.
Contact animations in the paint are hit and miss...I performed a layup with durant on varajao and instead of a contact animation initiating durant basically pushed him out the way while varajao was still in the animation of standing there...so he basically slid across the paint lol ...now when it does kick in its nice !!!
Animations as a whole are whats killing me ..its like they're jerkin and look unnatural at times you can definitely tell where one animation ends and one begins the players clip in and out of em they need to be smoother....
I hate my players just stand there while I have the ball..please make motion auto in 16
Shots need to be fixed ...it seems all quick releases are Great
Fastbreaks still feel slow...not like 14 but the sense of speed differential between players is lacking
Post moves and paint defense???????
I love how you can body your man on D by just following his movements and initiating contact without pressing and holding LT(shout out to WTF for that headsup)
One thing I did like I shot a 3 with westbrook, kyrie contested but as his hand went down it touched westbrook's elbow and a foul was called.
Would I pay full price for this no....would i consider a black friday purchase yup....is it better than the other game hell no...but it has potential and a very strong upside if they continue to tweak it and adjust it....it might be a little too run n gun /arcadish for me(too much running up and down the court dunking) But I had a decent experience with it ..decent stuff EA this I will say THIS is what live14 shouldve been
Ps..... man yall got kyrie looking like he has a black helmet on his head for hair and those oversized warmups/snuggies the players are wearing are attrocious jeez
