Re: NBA Live 15 and First In-Game Update Available Today, Post Your Impressions

I just finished playing my first game

Houston also ran two sweet alley oops on me in the first quarter. I've heard people mention that the CPU never does it, but I've seen it several times since I've been playing. They don't do it all the time, but it does happen.

Your 1st game playing and you saw CPU throw 2 alley oops in the 1st quarter and several times in 1 game ? Your 1st game ?

I played about 20 games now and haven't seen it yet on Superstar. So yeah video evidence or it didn't happen

What system are you playing on ?

You got the golden copy if you saw not one, not 2, but SEVERAL alley oops thrown by the CPU in your FIRST GAME.

Only played a half (12 min quarters) with the new data update and I can definitely notice improvements. CPU missing open threes and more layups missed. All good changes. Wish I had recorded it but had a sequence where the Cavs (I'm Miami) grabbed 4 offensive boards under the ring and with me jumping to attempt a block, they missed 3 times and went back up and up. Really life like when you see a dominant board team hammer the offensive glass.

I'm not mentioning the other game to start anything but I played it for the first time (free on steam at the moment) just before this Live session and I have to say, enjoyed the movement in Live a lot. Felt like they moved real well. Whether that was because of the update or not, no idea but well to control.

Comes back to these couple of issues though as to why I'm not sure I could make it my main game this year and it's a shame as I really want to.

- player and team likeness. Seems to have improved maybe as more games are played but Chris Andersen keeps posting up on thr block calling for the ball. LeBron hardly touched the ball too. This really needs fixing as if player and especially team likeness is correct, I'd be all over it.

- editing. I don't know if it can be patched in or not but I want to choose my play sets. Sliders missing I don't like and wish they could be patched in too but could live with if the game is tuned correctly. Editing not so much. Incorrect rosters and or ratings and there is nothing we can do about it until EA adjusts it whenever that is (Nash still in).

Man if those two were in/fixed.

Im thinking all star is too easy...Ive been playing vs the Cavs...the games have been close affairs, but mainly because the CPU can be too passive...and Im able to make too many step back "hero shots" I currently have a 26-16 lead on the Cavs with Lebron being 0-4 through 2 1/2 qtrs..using the Knicks. Sorry, but my onball skills arent THAT good.

I like the flow and pace of the game a lot. There's a lot here that I like, but I really feel like it is a better multi-player game as opposed to a game where you can really get deep into dynasty mode.

The animation depth just isnt there. Sure, everything is functional, and works pretty well..but it's basic. Kevin Love will torch you with post fades, because he is Kevin Love..but the only difference between his post fades, and some other guy, is that he makes them more. I can see this being my online game and the "other game" being my offline franchise mode game. I REALLY like playing this game vs another user.

When is Live going to update their rosters?

[WTF]

Re: NBA Live 15 and First In-Game Update Available Today, Post Your Impressions

I'd recommend everyone try superstar just to see if you see some problems that you may have clear up. I'm seeing some really nice off ball movement, some great passing (including jump passing and freestyle passing ). I'm seeing pumpfakes, signature size ups, different reads on pick n roll, etc.

I held the Mavs to 1-6 FGS to start my last game, only up to 27% at half time. Granted, they held me to 1-7 FGS to start, finally getting to 30% at the half.

No idea. Needs to be done.

My first game on superstar settings, not my first game period. And yes, they threw 2 in the same quarter. I've got no reason to make this up, man. Lol. I'm on PS4.

They need to give you complete control as an off all defender...you still can't swat on command.

I was standing right in front of a post player denying the pass in a crucial moment and it sailed right over my head...

Currently using Portland...

Lillard = the best player likeness I have seen in either game.

Chris Kaman = the worst.

Purchased yesterday and started playing around 5pm and didn't turn it off until 1:30 am last night. Game is incredible and my favorite EA game this year and I bought all of them...LOL. Here is the replay last night of a few games....I got blown out in the first game but forward to the 34 minute mark or so...that Bucks(me) and Wizards game was entertaining as hell. I think I was down by like 14 or so going into the 4th. Granted I'm not very good yet and I don't do a lot of set plays or anything but in time I will.
Game is amazing though....fun factor is just off the charts which is something I just never found with 2k.

I just finished playing my first game on Superstar and I lost to the Rockets by a point. I couldn't figure out how to intentionally foul down in the final seconds, so they dribbled it around as the clock ticked down.

If you didn't find it, intentional foul is hold LB and press X

Yeah, and they could do it as simply as this, R stick.

L moves you around but R stick will control your arms, it's there kind of, but only putting them out to the side or up.

So in your situation if R stick worked when the ball was sailing overhead if you hit Y to jump and up on R that should make your player jump with his arms up to go get a high pass.

I wish there was a low scramble button too. When the ball gets loose I want to see my player I am controlling go down after it. Maybe down on the R stick in those situations to scrap for the loose ball?

Gonna try this next. Will return and report

I'm struggling on All-Star at the moment. My biggest issue is points in the paint by the CPU. They make nearly every shot they take down low.

Can't imagine what it's like on Superstar.

This game though, man. So addicting!

Re: NBA Live 15 and First In-Game Update Available Today, Post Your Impressions

Havent been able to play much but played 2 games thia morning.

Dallas vs pelicans(cpu)
Port vs Sac(cpu)

Only played the first half on superstar with 12min quarters.

Was blowing both teams out by 20pts by halftime. Had 68 with mavs and held the pelicans around 40.

Pretty much the same against sacremento.

Not really feeling a chanllenge. This it with using basketball skills and not forcing anything. Probably going in for a trade tomorrow.

Any word on big patch coming down soon? Im like 5-1 so far in full games.
