Re: NLSC Podcast (Sean O'Brien)

How the hell do they not have the technology to allow sliders and saves? what kind of statement is that? what year is this?

i wonder how complicated the technology is? didn't think it would be that hard for sliders and saves. it's weird because madden is made at tiburon and they have it.

Re: NBA Live 15: Podcast Interview with Sean O' Brien

don't care much for the footage, however, I am SHOCKED the cover guy hasn't been announced yet.

You don't care about the footage?? WHAAAAAATT

I do agree about the cover athlete tho like little things like that should've been announced Unless it was Paul George but That's why it's always good to have a backup plan

a lot of people don't realize EA still has other game to Push. Madden Fifa & NHL.... Live usually get sideline till September. I'm not really expecting any Footage tell September. 2k only has WWE & NBA 2K.... So they got more freedom to show off there game earlier.....Patient's Everyone...

Re: NBA Live 15: Podcast Interview with Sean O' Brien

He says the game play is the most fluid NBA Live game ever, so If that's the case, all the things that are missing in the game, won't matter to me (feature wise) because I usually play head to head mode, and I'll probably be spending most of my time with NHL 15 and the new TitanFall maps to worry about CAP mode. lol

About not having Live injuries in the game this year they have potential to make this feature really stand out in the future if they do it right, especially with that rag doll feature, player could fall to the ground and you can see the actual injuries happen in real time, similar to (I hate to say it) my boy Paul George and how the play stopped every thing. If they can incorporate it some how and can get that energy being sucked out of the building, it would be a crazy effect. O'Brien talked about the stories in games, things like what I described can play a big part in that, instead of just bringing him back and getting him on the floor.

Woah wait a minute did I just read that right?

They all have different devs that work on all those games

That was the lamest excuse I've ever heard

I don't buy nothing u just said

No technology for sliders? Are we talking about Live 2015 current gen or lakers vs celtics 1990 sega genesis? I guess I can understand not having sliders but given the reason.....wow. $60.00 for what? I thought the price we pay was due to the technology, not for the lack of.

Re: NBA Live 15: Podcast Interview with Sean O' Brien

Some good info there. I personally like that the size up dribble from Live 10 is back.

But disappointing in others areas obviously. Kind of feels like it will be Live 14.5 but it is what it is.

I think I'll still grab it but probably only for exhibition games and unless impressions about game play are really good, not until it's discounted some.

They have sliders for charge/block/shooting foul frequency/reach in. lol

With NBA 2K advancing as much as they have over the past few years, I don't ever see myself buying live again. It's too bad because Live '03-05 were my jam.

Re: NBA Live 15: Podcast Interview with Sean O' Brien

With this news I'll be skipping this years version. I'll play the demo or free trial or whatever just to see the improvements but EA won't get my money. I will say I'm glad that they're not trying to blow smoke about the game and fool customers into buying a half baked product. At least they're honest about the game and their plans.

Re: NBA Live 15: Podcast Interview with Sean O' Brien

Very sad to hear No Editing Options. HOPING Live is still around in for Next Year release, since editing was mentioned with it. Just makes NO Sense. Hope Live 15 sells well, so Editing options will be back for Live 16.

Re: NBA Live 15: Podcast Interview with Sean O' Brien

Thanks Haval93 for the summary, much appreciated.

So Sean gives a shout out to WTF for having a pic with Lebron in a Cavs uniform with his number 23 which I remember his saying it was a tedious thing to do but then LIVE 15 isn't going to have customization option again? Because "technology isn't there"? I believe Fernando (who works on Live's rosters) said when asked about customized rosters being in Live 15 that there were no plans to have those, so not being in their plans is the same as not having the technology to do so? That's a bad excuse and if it wasn't one then they haven't listened to a vocal part of the community who have asked for it since they knew 14 didn't have it.

With all Live's ommisions (no customization nor sliders, no in-game injuries, no improvements in game modes, no EASBA) this doesn't simply have to have good gameplay, it has to be great gameplaywise because to have simply a good game there's already a good to great game (depending to who you ask) which already has a complete package.

Jon was the one who brought up the member of OS(WTF) who went through the tedious process of trading Lebron until he reached number 23 on the Cavs. As everybody keeps talking about rosters, sliders, and other stuff, he addresses this question starting at 29:30 minute mark. From there, he talks about what I quoted.

Oh thanks, I stand corrected but my point still's the same, we should be having options in this times of sports gaming.

after listening to this podcast its sounding like the game to "look forward to" is live16. seems like they are with holding a lot and focusing purely on gameplay in live15. i do want to see how the demo is though
