NBA Live 15 Video and Blog - Offensive Improvements

Re: NBA Live 15 Video and Blog - Offensive Improvements

Heh, my video froze at the exact second that Duncan's hand went right through the backboard at about 9 seconds.

Overall, it seems pretty good. I don't plan on purchasing this year, but I used to love Live growing up, so hopefully it keeps moving forward.

I wasn't that impressed, I mean it is improved from Live 14 but still moves bad imo. Movement is still stiff and robotic looking, dunks still look weird, and players are still hunch back.

Exactly man. It just looks off.

If this is the style people want then good. But to say this looks realistic is just ridiculous.

To say 2k is unrealistic compared to this is just....

Re: NBA Live 15 Video and Blog - Offensive Improvements

Even in the other game forums guys said 2k15 looks worse than 2k14 now live 15 looks like a ps2 game lol.

I promise you and this is true for every ps4 game , these games look 100x better in front of you .dont trust you tubes quality.

Re: NBA Live 15 Video and Blog - Offensive Improvements

Live is definitely improving and I like how they are comparing it to live 14. What's more apparent is I don't recall one "buzzword" from them this year. That should make a lot of you old timers happy.

Great point! At this juncture, no one would walk by someone playing Live 15 and mistake you for watching an actual game, but I sill get that, when I'm playing 2K14, from friends.

To each his own. The two NBA game franchises have two different styles, and Live is making strides in the right direction. It still really makes me wonder what the developers were doing between Elite 11 and Live 14 that they took so many steps back in the gameplay department.

There are definitely arguments to be made when talking about similarties between PS2 iterations and Live 15, but I genuinely hope EA makes a strong comeback this year. I was impressed enough with the improvements with Madden 15 that I bought the game (when after last year I said I wouldn't buy another Madden), so anything is possible.

Bro, It's not the video quality at all. The animations just aren't realistic for me. Seeing this in 4k won't hide the fact that they just move like robots.

But hey people are happy with it.

Re: NBA Live 15 Video and Blog - Offensive Improvements

My only real issue with the video is the animations....if they work properly & consistently then it won't bother me as much, but they just aren't of very good quality to me...something still seems off about them, they just don't look natural.

I really, really hope we can get some in game footage soon...

This is exactly what I meant on twitter when I said "They should have shown the improvements in real time, especially after those 15 second clips where Harden switched speeds to get into the lane" that's the area they have an advantage over 2K IMO. Things like that you can't show in a trailer like this. Can't wait to get my hands on it

Bro I'm talking about the graphics not animations calm down Why you think I mentioned the video quality

Re: NBA Live 15 Video and Blog - Offensive Improvements

Let's be clear, Anything would be an improvement over last year, that game was horrible! Animations look better but they still seem very stiff,

[RipCityAndy]

The animation transitions look WAY better. The rag doll physics in the paint is going to be awesome. Also, I'm glad they give us alternate views in the practice gym.

My one beef - that Kyle Lowry pass at 00:38 is terrible. It looks so awkward and unnatural.

that's what i knew you were referring to - that's why it wouldn't matter to me if i saw this up close because my ps2 reference was about the animations...

Re: NBA Live 15 Video and Blog - Offensive Improvements

What is with all the trailers?

I hate to be negative but all of EA's trailers and still photo's look good.

That is not the issue....the issue is actual 5 on 5 gameplay.

Lets see one half or or even one qtr of actual 5 on 5 gameplay so we can judge the CPU AI ourselves and also the gameplay movement.

Seems like they are hyping up these trailers the way they did in years past to be their money maker and without showing any gameplay issues that might arise a week or two after you buy their product.



Come on EA it is really that much to ask for a full 5 on 5 gameplay clip????

I can show you Trailers going all the way back to Live 07 that looked awesome when edited

Re: NBA Live 15 Video and Blog - Offensive Improvements

The video and game looks amazing. The graphics and animations are on point this year. The rag-doll physics look amazing and love how they activate around the paint. If we can get this for all interactions in the future for charges, shot contests so if you run into a shooter you see a dynamic animation and so on. This feature alone makes me amazed. Dear god they finally fixed those damn fast break animations of a player stopping when catching the damn ball, seems like we can actually run one this year.

Also what's with some of your guys complaints of robotic animations? Not saying they are not valid but can you provide some more detail then they just look robotic. I for one am amazed so far for the rag-doll physics aspect and how fluid it looks.

BOOM! You nailed it! Trying to not sound like a 2K homer, but they've had nothing to hide for years. When they have a new feature, add new aspects to gameplay, new presentation elements, they just come out and flaunt it. When you're proud of your product you want to show it off. I cannot find a logical explanation for showing the backs of players in screenshots other than they are not happy with how those players turned out. I mean, we're talking about screenshots here. We're not talkin' about the gameplay that I live and die for, we're talking about screenshots.

In all seriousness, though, the same goes for gameplay. I mentioned in a previous post that having no (extended) gameplay footage is probably, mostly a marketing issue. So, I would imagine we won't see any gameplay videos until post 2K release.

Wouldn't that be awesome.
