The game looked a hell of a lot better than I thought it would. I really want to get my hands on it to check it out for myself now. The animations were good for the most part and the dribbling was pretty fluid. I would've liked to seen them call some plays and seen a bit more interior D, but I can't knock them too hard from what I just watched. How this plays on higher difficulty levels and whether online is smooth or not will determine whether this becomes my primary basketball game this year.

I think we can all agree on one thing... Because EA doesn't have an exclusive on NBA, we have all benefited from the healthy competition between them and 2K. Let's be honest, it appears Live is going to be much improved this year and 2K continues to outdo themselves with their iteration of the NBA2K15... We all win with these gorgeous games because each developer is pushing each other to be better. Now if we can only get EA to give up that NFL exclusive!

The game looked good, but the passing animations at times look awkward as hell

Definitely enjoyed the stream overall...not necessarily wowed, but as someone who played Live 14 I can appreciate the improvement...

Game looks good...some of the non scanned faces were pretty rough (what's good with that Reggie Jackson? lol) but for the most part they were good.

The body types were more evident in pics than during game play...think they may have gone overboard with the muscles...JJ Reddick was ripped...but that visual stuff is minor...(for me)

Animations were better than I expected and smooth for be most part...makes the game look 100x more engaging. The signature style looked good from what I saw too...won't get a real feel for it until I get my hands on the game...

Only worry I have is defense...I'll take WTFs word for it about difficulty...but that's the first thing I'll be looking for when I fire this up tomorrow...

This game may not be top in its class yet, but I'm sold. I saw promise with last year's mess, and this looks like a great improvement. Still some rough areas, but I can look past most of them.

Heart has always been with Live and it hasn't felt right not having them as an option the past few years. So good for basketball fans to have this game back. Yes, I said it.. NBA Live is back. True fans of the game and franchise can relate.

True!!! I'm to ready.

Is it just me or did off ball movement on offense seem nonexistent?

Re: NBA Live 15 Will Have a Gameplay Livestream Tonight on Twitch

things I didn't like: About the Stream + Game (FOR NOW)

- step back dribble, seems too slow
- Weight of players at times in the paint didn't matter
- Passes seem way too fast (although I prefer those to the slow lob passes)
- Post game (didn't see any in the stream)
- Perimeter defense still needs work, steals look a lot like Live 14

Automotion wasn't turned on...hopefully it makes a bigger difference than last year...I still don't get the point of it being off, lol

They didn't call any real sets, just quick plays.

Re: NBA Live 15 Will Have a Gameplay Livestream Tonight on Twitch

And they lost me at the LBJ dunk. Player faces are awesome. Love player scale to court. But the animations are a glaring eyesore. Not smooth at all. There was almost an NBA Jam exaggeration to anything in the air. And the numbers on the jerseys are totally off. This game looks loads better than last year. But still not up to scratch compared to any modern sports title. I was really hoping that somehow they had snuck Live 10 back in there with a new paint job. That would've been great. But this is nowhere close to that level. This is still in serious WIP stage..... Not wowed......

Looks like Live is back and I can put live 10 to bed finally.

Loved the improved passing and ability to keep momentum, fast breaks, use of the backboard and improved animations.

The "receiving a pass" animation is sloww.

but you may be able to break out of it...didn't see them so much catch and go...

Re: NBA Live 15 Will Have a Gameplay Livestream Tonight on Twitch

I'll say that I normally don't do head to head play, but I may do some this year. It's fun.

For those not wowed, again, I understand but try it out for yourself. I'd about guarantee that playing against the cpu, with automotion on, on all star, guys will have a better than Live 10 experience.

First, play around in practice and do the tutorials so you'll understand some more of the controls.

Yeah, are they trying to show how good the game is or not? I don't get this logic. Just doesn't make sense. You're showcasing a game and you're trying to make it look worse?
