About guarantee? Regardless if you have an early copy or not, if we Access members don't have the infamous patch, retail copies wouldn't either.... Or what am I missing? I'm afraid what we're playing is post patch

How did the patch become "infamous"??

My impressions after a few games:

This game is really fun. The player movement seemed weird at first but it just takes a while to get used to and I'm really starting to like it now. The animations are a big step up from last year and don't feel so stiff. Dribbling is really smooth and you can pull off some nice combos. Contact in the paint is good but hopefully it's improved in a patch so offence isn't as dominant.

Now on to graphics. Not much to say other than I think they're AMAZING. I can't believe some people are saying they only look a little better than 14. The detail in this game is crazy.

Also curry's jump shot is BUTTER.... So spot on

I just discovered something that has convinced me im buying for sure now. you can completely turn off player indicators. I have wanted this in 2k for years. I used to play 2k on pc and it was always the first mod id get. Makes me feel like im watching it on tv not playing a video game.

im still dumb founded that there isnt any sliders. I havent really played a live game in a long time and am having quite a bit of success on superstar. Hoping the game doesnt get too easy. does synergy have anything to do with difficulty? im not really sure what synergy people talk about does in NBA live.

How much do you guys think the first and probably only major patch for Live 15 will make a difference ?
because that one major patch they had that was supposed to solve a lot of issues for 14 never delivered....

I would definitely buy the game if I knew for a fact that theyre gonna release a good solid patch or two that actually fixes stuff

H2H I had a pretty fun game online. Wizards v Bulls. Derrick Rose was hard to stop but there are better defensive counters to the ballhandler this year. The shooting percentages were high but it was fun. If the day1 patch touches on the areas it is supposed to I could see me picking this up esp with the gcu unlocked deal next week.

Does anyone know if you can do the little things like rolling inbounds........***nning the baseline during an inbound or if they have jump balls?

For those of us wondering if we're playing the most updated build right now, I guess the supposed day one patch exists. I found this screen via the NLSC. Rose doesn't look like this right now in the game.

Yeah clipping becomes a lot more apparent on all star and above...I expect that in a video game though...I knew the "no clipping" idea that was floating around before launch wasn't possible yet, lol

Re: NBA Live 15 Available Now For EA Access Subscribers, Post Your Impressions

Played a couple of games from ea access and the game looks better than last year but am not too keen on the gameplay. One thing that stood out to me was player movement or lack thereof. My ai teammates didn't seem to move to much off the ball. I tried calling different plays to get my players to move without the ball and they did once a play was called but stopped shortly after. Also, not sure if it was like this last year, but the CPU was nailing everything from the outside and from within the paint. I have a few more hours with the trial so I will try to get used to the controls and see if my impressions change. Right now, I'm leaning towards maybe waiting a while before I buy the game and get it on a discount.

Make sure you turn auto-motion on. It's in the settings, and it's off by default. Once you turn it on, you should see some more off-ball movement without calling a set play.

I would wait till release and see what others have to say and go from there.

Copy and Paste that. You'll see some better movement from the offensive CPU AI (Bulls) as well as a quick basket at the end of the game by Rose (attempted). The game plays a ton better post Day 1 Patch. About midway through you'll see a pretty nice offensive set where Rose ends up with the FT Line jumper.

Granted, the defense was doubling me as Lebron and I was able to keep finding the oop, but at this point in the game, they were trying anything. Kevin Love and Lebron hit 3 back to back to back 3's at the end, but you saw Lebron with several GREAT shots, that missed, same with Dion.

I'm going to try to stream, as this wasn't the greatest exhibit of defense by the AI. I play some games that are insane defensively. I've also not seen a game over 50% PiP. I've seen 47-48%, but that's about it.

Again, the game was out of reach, so it may not be the best example, but you can clearly see me being able to bully Rose from getting into the lane with ease, and the CPU running some sets.
