Synergy / tuning / whatever they are going is definitely kicking in.


The CPU (retail game) now has a decent mid range game after having none when the DEMO first came out.


CPU now pulls off some awesome ally-oops...


Way, way less "post ups for bigs who shouldn't be on the block".


Anyone having issues with this game I highly recommend just using the practice gym for a while and seeing how you feel in a week when synergy really kicks in. It is definitely improving fast.

This was a nice sequence....starts with a great block, and then a drive up court with a bounce pass into the paint, and then kicked out to the open man for the 3! Love this freaking game!

Says it's not available. Must have it set to private.

I had this massive block with Anthony Davis in the rewind game.

Then Ariza goes all MJ after I beat the Cavs

I loved this. Missed the Euro with Terry, but was able to grab the board with Jones, do a quick shimmy, and drop the putback. Both shots hanging on the rim.

This play freed up Lebron at the end of the first half for the sweet Kiss off of the glass:

As ticked as I am about some of the basic things in ball missing from this game, I have to admit EA and the tweaks that are being done are like night and day from day to day. Game plays way better than it did 2 days ago. Game plays better this evening than what it did this morning. It's obvious this Synergy thing is kicking in because stars are really playing like stars and the role players are playing like such.

Had Kobe on a fast break and he was being chased from behind by Thompson from GS and as Kobe rose up for the 1-handed dunk Klay blocked it from behind and Kobes hand clanked off the rim and the ball bounced of his body an went OOB and GS was awarded the ball as it should have been. Just a beautiful sequence that I never expected to see in this game. Kudos

ROSTER Update please?

Should be good now...it says "public"

I had a crazy hectic loose ball play earlier today where Harden (me) stripped Kryie going up for a layup. The ball bounced off of his knee and was going out of bounds. It hit Terrence Jones standing there, proceeded to ricochet towards the baseline out of bounds. Terrence Jones at this point has to lunge out of bounds towards the ball, goes into the save animation, throws the ball back towards inbounds, and it hits Anderson Varejao (opposing team) who is standing on the line for an out of bounds violation

This is really quite amazing. This is what next gen should be. A game that constantly evolves.

It's either synergy or the game updates or both.

I wish EA would give us some insight into what exactly the constant game updates are.

I also would like to know off the day 1 patch where they included animations...were these on the disc and the dl game and just had to be enabled or were these actually added animations to the game?

If they can add more animations in...whoa boy!


For example, that diving out of bounds animation wtf described above, I saw that too for the first time tonight in the last game I just played. Did they add that on one of these tiny constant game updates?

Hey guys, Is there any way to pop up the substitution screen during the game without calling the timeout?
I have it for PS4, and I think it was in Live 14, but dosn't work in the same way.

I love using the eurostep so much.

I'm with other who wants the CPU three point shooting patched. It's absurd how many threes the CPU makes and I only play on All Star.

Man I am loving this game and I only have the demo lolol

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

Don't know if I just got the hang of it or what....but shot releases seem a lot more consistent....

I'd agree that synergy is toning down some of the tendency wonkiness as well...

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

This game is a lot of fun, and it's a nice change of pace from the other game for certain. I actually enjoy the presentation and what-not in this game more than in the other one, which is a good thing

Couple problems I'm having is I'm finding it WAY too easy to steal the ball. In my last dynasty game (Superstar difficulty) with the Brooklyn Nets, Deron Williams had 10 steals, that has to be fixed. Also, on 12 minute quarters my starters logged 48 minutes, not a single sub checked into the game. The other thing is the scoring inside, if the computer gets it into the paint, they're going to score and there's not a whole hell'uva lot you can do about it.

Having fun with this, but it definitely needs some work.
