Re: NBA Live 15 Title Update #2 Available Now For PS4, Coming Soon For Xbox One
Actually after logging into the EA servers and obtaining the roster update ( which I purposely stayed away from since some players were initially missing or on wrong teams etc after patch was released) I noticed gameplay was smoother and a bit more open. Not sure if there was some other update snuck in recently as well. Anyhow, after making this observation I returned my defensive settings to default and noticed that the cpu did shoot higher but realistic fg%'s depending on the team being played off course. The issue though is that they rarely took and more importantly made 3 point or mid range shots! I'd guess 95 plus % of shots were drives to paint or shots in paint.
I played 2 consecutive games against the Cavs at their home court with the Wizards for example. Once using my defensive changes and the other with default defensive values. With my settings, I lost the game by 10 points and they hit a respectable amount of mid range and 3 point shots. Not perfect but better. With the default values I won by 6 points while LeBron was virtually non existent. He missed several shots and was blocked other times. Kyrie could not do much either. Who were their top scorers? You guessed it, Love, Varajao, Tristan. What do they have in common? Yes, they are all post players!
They need to balance this out. I'm thrilled with the defensive intensity post patch, this is good for the replay value of the game however the gameplay and stats should also mimic real life basketball. This is an issue as of now. I must say that the game does play better now with default defensive settings than it did before I downloaded the Rosters via Synergy! They are definitely on the right track and I hope they can tweak mid range and 3 point shooting slightly more via other non patch update.
