Sports games in general are becoming so good now that you do have a lot of people who start up a franchise and solely play against the CPU soon as the opening day rosters release.

People do in it MLB The Show, FIFA, Madden, and NBA 2K every year. And when NCAA Football was still around, that game too. I personally stopped relying on online play 4 years ago. Give me some sliders and an editable roster and I'm good to go.

Online against other USERS simply mask CPU AI flaws.

While that's true I'm talking about outside this forum . From Twitter , Facebook , psn , and Xbox live it seems most people play online. So any issues I don't like the there's sliders argument . If shooting percentages are too high , or blocking is too low sliders aren't helping any online user .I'm willing to bet more people play the park and my team in 2k than mygm and myleague . Same thing with live ... As an online user telling me there's slider does nothing for me .

There a problems an online user can have with the CPU . If the user is playing off ball defense then the CPU is guarding the ball handler. CPU can get rebounds and steals . Sliders help offline but online we have to rely on the devs to adjust issues anyway.

yeah I know when physics turns on because the game kind of stutters when it happens.


I am not new to live by any means I do have fun playing it. its the only basketball game I play because quite frankly I'm a "live head" I love this series. Ive invested in it, shoot, I've spent about $100 on the game last year factoring in money spent on ultimate team. so please forgive me if I sound like another 2k lover, I am NOT! I do stand by my feelings on the dribbling controls, if you have Xbox check my achievements, I have the learn live achievement. I've practiced and practiced and practiced. I've spent more time in the practice gym then on the court. I DO NOT LIKE the hold direction on the right stick to dribble idea. it feels like they're TRYING to be like 2k's ISO motion which tried to implement those controls After live initially had freestyle dribbling back in the 2000's. I'm not crazy. the responsiveness isn't all the way there. they seem delayed. its like you have to find a rhythm that's like a step slow (MUCH BETTER THAN LAST YEAR THOUGH!)


but it could just be me. which is why I prefaced my comments with I honestly don't know how I feel about the game. the game has a different pace then last year which I have yet to really master, I sometimes finding myself pressing the shoot button then waiting for the animation to catch up.
I'll try slowing down. it could be me and my opinion will evolve as the year continues.







In live 10 the control I had was second to none. I literally could go to the hole knowing I'm gonna finish with my left hand, and I would finish with my left hand. I can't do that with live 15.

Actually it does have freestyle dribble..you don't have to hold the right stick.. try going in different directions left to right string together different

I think the bottom line is whether we all agree or not with sliders every other sports games out there right now that has online gameplay still included sliders for the those who don't play online.

That is why this decision IMO makes no sense...

We don't all play these sports games the same way and what one person may think is SIM STYLE Play another person may not feel that way.

If a guy likes to see the CPU shoot 60% from 3-PT range every game that is his preferance.....but why handicap those who may not like those high FG%?

It's like they are saying hey play the game our way or don't play the game at all because there is no other options available for you with this game.

I've seen guys come on here and post they are perfectly fine with the gameplay they just want to decrease the success of steals.....

Well guess what they don't have that option other than to not try and make any steals at all which is absurd IMO.

Well in regards to Rosters NBA_LIVE Fernando mentioned that they are working on a schedule for this. Not sure what to make of that response??? I guess it's better than hearing nothing.

Sounds like to me EA is and was no where near ready to release this game again. I give up. I bought into the hype again

I'm really having fun with this game. Maybe it's just playing something different from 2K, but I'm really liking it so far. I've only played a few games so the thrill may wear off but I'm liking it more

Hmmm

So I was getting my *** handed to me by the Hawks and decided to sim the game and loss by a lot.

I was fed up, so I simulated the rest of the season...

The Hornets made it to the NBA Finals to only lose to the Golden State Warriors.

LOL WUT.

Now I did stop during the simulation to do training but that was an absurd first year sim.

I did another season sim and missed the playoffs.

Now I have a solid Hornets team

PG Kemba Walker
SG Monta Ellis
SF Luol Deng
PF Noah Vonleh
C Roy Hibbert

Played my first game and destroyed the Milwaukee Bucks. This team is fun but I feel like I cheated lol.

Almost considering starting fresh all over.

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

I feel like playing the game with skills only on would make the game more realistic. I was destroying the Bucks because I nailed my three point shot timing. I originally wanted to do a Mavericks franchise because I'm a Mark Cuban guy. I think it might be time for a redo.

I was playing the new orleans lut tourney. First opponent is charlotte.

Lance stephenson was in the triple threat on the wing and i was playing normal D and he went to make a move and was whistled for stepping out.

Its that magic little game update window in the bottom left corner each time you turn the game on. This is wild.

K, I need a little help. Im trying to exploit Melo in some small ball PF matchups vs guys like Pau Gasol. When I try to face them up, Im having trouble breaking them down. I dont know if i should be using the size up dribble, RS held, or both...

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

Whoa. A no look!

This is incredible that everytime we turn it on and it says update something new can happen.

Alright, to me Live 15 could be a pretty cool game, if, if only the other game didn't exist or wasn't on the market. If this was the only game on the market maybe I would feel like this so called simulation is close to what the NBA should feel like...sadly, I've played the other game, and I know how good a simulation of the NBA can look and feel.

I have one thing on my mind usually while playing Live, I'm thinking "man, I hope this doesn't mess up my timing or skills on the other game" the whole time! Lol, it's comical. The shot releases on this game are totally random! They require little to no skill it seems (I'm using skill plus rating btw) it's literally just the tap to the button...where is the skill in that? The animation quality is totally not where it should be in 2014. I've already voiced my concerns with the fundamental side of Live as well.

I'm was hoping live15 could bring back to the glory days, but we are far, far and away from those days.

Sorry man, just don't agree - 2K has been updating and have been from day one, they've release several updates this past week alone. We have not heard a SINGLE word from EA, not a single word. They haven't even come on here to reference the issue with replays and half time shows, not a word.

Don't Think 2k is a good reference. Their first week was TERRIBLE this year. Game was virtually unplayable. Just give it time. Hasn't even been a week.
