My 2 hours with Live 16

Re: My 2 hours with Live 16

Thanks!

- Did you get realistic stats overall?
- did you or the AI (given you played against AI) make huge runs/comebacks?
- Is there a big variety with contested lay-ups, with the physics engine?

-stats werent available to me at the end of the game

-not huge runs. Playing 5 minute qtrs only I think the most I was ever behind was 13 and the most I was ahead was maybe 7. I know i made a 10-0 run in the game i was behind. but nothing huge. I felt very limited though when I had cleveland from an offensive stand point.

the game had kyrie in the game but not love. and I couldnt make any subs and fatigue was not on either.

Re: My 2 hours with Live 16

Couple questions.

1. Can you manual bounce pass?
2. If you did any work in the post, do the post fadeaways have shot feedback?
3. Is there moving screen fouls/ over the back fouls?
4. Can you do floaters?

Thanks for the reply,hopefully they just didn't tell about manual bounce pass, cause that's a real bummer if it's not in. Really hoping for manual bounce and lob lasses like live 14, ask about them if possible please.

Re: My 2 hours with Live 16

cant really tell you in comparison to last game. I really couldn't play last years game long enough to remember those details. I thought stephs shot was just kinda ok from a sig pov. But didn't bother me to make an issue of it. I still think it lacks in overall sig appeal. But I think thats somewhat to be expected.

Are you gonna mention it to the developers about the overall sig appeal and also did you speak with them about improving on the post game? I feel like if you mention it now they can still work on it before the game releases.

Re: My 2 hours with Live 16

I absolutely talked about it. and they said they are looking at things. For me that doesnt mean I should anticipate it though. Im leaving now so i will definitely look into that this morning

Can you post any pics you have?

Re: My 2 hours with Live 16

How much of the ball handling can be controlled in a "1 to 1" manner. IE, moving the stick in a given direction giving you a specific move and not starting an animation chain.

Re: My 2 hours with Live 16

sup magic, i have a few questions for you.

1. i'm not sure if you have played 2k or not, but 1 thing that really bothers me is that when defending against a guard or any other player for that matter, can you play defense on that guy? i mean really get in they face, spread arms, or hands up, and move fluidly with the player, cause in 2k15 it is very very questionable whether online or offline. what about walking the ball up the court?

2. seting up plays, did play transition run smooth on court?

3. graphically i know the game is nice, whats up with the presentation or in-game commentary?

There was a guy on Twitter who posted two videos in the replay section, in game. Maybe you didn't see it some how

Re: My 2 hours with Live 16

1. Ok. I probably don't have a great reply here. I felt a little confused here. It seems just like last year in terms of how you use the direction of the stick to just initiate the moves and the move is/can be signature. So the size up move is definitely sig. the cross or hesi are different for guys but... there was so much to take in it was definitely an area that I didn't feel comfortable in how i felt about it. Im on that today tho

Fair enough. Are there multiple size-up moves like last year (ie, four different signature sizeups based on the direction you hold the stick)? I love the freestyle controls, but I do also like seeing differentiation in different dribble moves. I'm sure they'll be able to balance it out.

2. Cpu. Well only the 2 teams available. So playing a game against each team there was definite improvement overall to the ai. Especially the movement and decisions. The obvious change in play style was obvious as well. to see gs hit jumpers in bunches was impressive. And lebron to hit jumper/fades out of the post and mosgov be big was very cool. I was only able to move the game up to All star I believe tho. Default was pro. And there were only a few options that were not grayed out.

This is music to my ears. Or, eyes. or whatever lol. It was improved last year, but I did still notice the CPU posting up too much in 15, especially with teams that don't really go to the post much (ie the Warriors). That kind of variety in how teams play will make the game infinitely more fun. I still have fun playing 15, so I am really looking forward to all the improvements in 16.

Re: My 2 hours with Live 16

Excellent work! We absolutely appreciate this timely information. The game sounds truly promising so we hope the final product is all that we expect and more.

Some good questions here, however, what can you say about the following:

1. How is the late game AI decision making implemented so far? Last years was quite dissappointing! This is very crucial to the overall authenticity of the game.

2. Does the CPU automatically sub Lebron (for example) at the point guard position during the game? If not, I'm hoping adjustments can be made with the customization options offered this year.

3. Were you able to easily contain the CPU star players or would you say it's going to be necessary to gameplan for these players? How was the CPU level of competition and what game level (All-Star, Superstar) are you employing?

4. After tip-off, does the ball always fall into the hands of the point guard like Live15 or is it available to other position players?

5. Is the out-of-bounds force field still in play?

6. Is it easy to steal the ball this year? (Again, I'm sure this can be adjusted via sliders thank God)

There's more, but I'll try not to keep you too busy for now. Please provide further insight when you can and continue to impress upon the Devs that these areas (the questions asked on this thread) are key to solidifying this games status.
