Re: NBA Live 15 Available Now For EA Access Subscribers, Post Your Impressions
I've been playing for the last two hours or so. it definitely takes some getting used to. I lost to the cavs while playing as the thunder in my first game, I stunk it up with kd trey 5. I have to admit, I was like 4-20 something. I couldn't get his timing down, and not to mention I had the game on superstar. lost by 9.
second game in the garden at home vs the nets and I turned up with Melo! dropped 30 and shot 11-12 from the field and I won by 8. the sets are very vanilla though. you can defend also, just gotta stay in front of your man and play angles. I was also able to defend the rim when properly positioned and timed. I was very happy to be able to pull out of the post defense animations. I need more time doing the training but dont want to waste my time in there.
the graphics are improved, but it makes the non scanned players stand out way more. it also doesn't look as good as the picks. kd is SPOT ON! whoa! he looks really good. I just have to get his timing down.
I don't know if I like the dribbling yet. I feel like its more like 2k in the sense that the stick movement feels like its activating an animation as opposed to live 10 where it FELT like you were moving the ball. I'm not really able to eloquently word it, so you guys may not get my point. I probably just need more practice.
overall, it feels different for sure, but the controls are still pretty much the same. idk, I have mixed feelings right now. its definitely better than 14. just need to really get into the sticks some more.Comment

This game is awesome......Point blank period. If they come out with a patch later on it will make it even better. Good job EA you have answered my prayers. I had Kobe on **** 37 points hit a rainbow and I mean rainbow arching shot from behind the backboard, **** was crazy and LA court looked just like it.... I can't wait til the 28th cause I only have 3 hours left and today is the 23rd...URGHHHH. I hope EA does something like extend the 6 hours to unlimited, for all the real fans who believed and waited patiently.....I' am thoroughly impressed with this game.Comment

I had a moment where I had Jr at the top of the key, he breaks his man down, drives left towards the basket every one collapses, I see Melo open in the left corner, as Jr passes he's says " that's all you" as soon as Melo catches it the crowd starts yelling "THREEEEEEEEEEEE" Splash! mike Breen with the BANG, Melo walks his first few steps puts three to the dome as the garden erupts! I caught goose bumps!
I just need the controls down. this is a very good game! much improved! still has some weirdness in terms of player movements. not fidelity, but in terms of I don't know how they're facing the way they face sometimes but its really good. looking forward to a great season!Comment

Re: NBA Live 15 Available Now For EA Access Subscribers, Post Your Impressions
I got in two games last night and really enjoy it. The flow, the spacing was all there, but I couldn't get a feel for the shooting. Right now it seems like luck. Maybe I was tired or maybe I shouldn't have skipped the tuT. lol
Anyways, the fast break game is awesome and I will be saying "Xbox record that" a lot this year online
Graphical improvements are definitely on display. The arenas are beautiful. SOME players are beautiful. Supposedly EA will tighten up the body types throughout the year and that's a good thing. lol
Presentation is on point. It will draw you in unless you lost. lol
Overall, I would give it an 8.5 out of 10, for my time with it thus far.Comment

Re: NBA Live 15 Available Now For EA Access Subscribers, Post Your Impressions
First quick impression. This game has that fun factor that has been missing from 2k for a few years for me. Could be because it reminds me of Live 10, like 32 was saying to me this AM.YNWAComment

Re: NBA Live 15 Available Now For EA Access Subscribers, Post Your Impressions
The rare moment when having a PS4 is a disadvantage....
I just want you guys to know I hate you....just for the moment....
I can't wait to experience the good and bad for myself
As far as visual/streaming impressions as I've watched live late last night the game seemed like it was getting progressively worse then when EA did their own stream...
Maybe because of user skill or a patchless early access and EA actually played the game with all the bells and whistles idk
Seems like a lot of fun though certain stuff looked funky though.Comment

Re: NBA Live 15 Available Now For EA Access Subscribers, Post Your Impressions
Well, might as will chip in with my early pros and cons.
PROS
- A very impressive game from a visual standpoint, barring a few hitches here and there. Arenas and player models look fantastic.
- Loving the ESPN presentation.
- The responsiveness of the controls is incredibly refreshing.
- Crowd sounds are done so well that it literally gave me goosebumps once during a "Finals Atmosphere" game.
- Much improved ball/rim physics. Still needs a little tweaking ball-wise, but a lot less floaty than last year.
- Shooting feels great -- especially with some of the nicer signature shots I've tried.
- Dribble moves might be a little too easy, but it's still incredibly fun to pull them off.
CONS
- Commentary is a relatively generic, for the most part. In the future, the NBA Live series has got to move beyond calling out who has the ball and who made the shot.
- Something is off with the proportions of player sizes versus courts. Everyone looks really small. Can't decide if this is due to the camera angles or not just yet.
- Is it me, or are do the jersey numbers on the back of the jerseys, as well as the names, look really weird? The letters are super small, and the numbers are massive and blocky.
- Still some weird animations going on from time to time -- mostly with post moves, from what I've experienced so far.
- It's a little too easy to drive to the paint for easy buckets right now. A patch will need to address that before we start seeing an onslaught of And1-styled players dominating the online experience.
- From an overall standpoint, this game is way too offense-oriented. Too easy to hit shots, and superstar players feel like glorified "win-buttons" right now. Needs more ebb and flow.
- AI player movement needs to improve. Players stand still way too often, and hopefully we'll see some more organic movement after a few patches.
- Certain players have dead eyes -- kind of that expressionless glazed over look. Somewhat diminishes how accurate they look.
