Is live gonna be different this year?
I used too love live as a kid but now it just feels too arcade like. The ball doesn't bounce on the rim, can't block dunks, etc. I'm deff getting 2k but was thinking about getting live this year for the new mode I've been hearing about.

It's definitely gonna be different but for the "arcade" like aspects of the game they will still be there to the funky "supposed" mocaped animations to the wired shot forms, there's still a lot to improve to catch up to 2k but every year they make vast improvements to the game so eventually they will be on par or even better than the competition.

Re: Is live gonna be different this year?
Yeah that happened a lot, but I think depending on if you play with the updates or not you can get some bounces to go in. It should happen more, but its there.Comment

Re: Is live gonna be different this year?
Yeah I've been playing Live15 alot again the last week or so, and there are LOTS of jump shots that end up bouncing off the rim a couple times before going in. This may have been something that was fixed in one of the patches last season.
I think last season's patches greatly slowed down the gameplay. Players' speeds (dribbling the ball, and without the ball) aren't as fast or as fluid as they are in 2K. And once you get the ball and start dribbling in the open court, the defense almost immediately catches up with you to break up the fastbreak -- to me this has always been a problem with Live games. I only get a less than a handful of dunks per game (although I play with the Warriors). So to that sense, Live does not play arcardey to me one bit. (I play on Superstar level, perhaps the person that said it was arcadey was on a lower difficulty level?) I wished they actually picked up the pace and things were a little more open, personally, but I realize that extreme sim heads might not like that
But blocked dunks you don't see much of, not AT the rim, at least. I had a baseline dunk from Iguodala blocked by a shorter guard just as Iggy took off...Last edited by iLLWiLL; 08-01-2015, 01:44 PM.Comment

You actually can get plenty of shots which bounce off rim, also blocked shots are all user controlled. So basically you don't have an NBA Live eye (analysis) for detail anymore. Which is the problem with majority who play Live now. But I believe that's due to the lack of quality in graphic detail. One in which EA is a amping up on with 16. (Lighting and Textures)
The Live series has been different every year since 14, and differently improved. An actually Live is more "simulation" based upon the player movements. Especially in one on one isolations is where Live shines the most. Which that's all the Live series has been about is isolation match ups. But only due to the lack of AI off ball movements.
Now with Live 16 approaching soon, off ball AI movements are the up most focus. With EA implementing a constant flow of AI off ball movements. Then Live 16 will look and play like none before!Comment

I'll just add that, when Live15 was released, the AI teammates literally stood around and watched for a large majority of the time. It was shameful. I stopped playing it (played 2K instead) by December or so. So some time between then and the end of the season they released a bunch of patches and the game now feels vastly improved and plays more sim-like. Players move [a bit] more on the offensive end, and when things get stagnant, you can now press L1 and the 2 or 3 players in your vicinity will move without the ball -- back cutting, screening & popping for each other. It really improved the game from the release version.
Oh for sure the updates helped the AI move. But Live 15s off ball movements are still stalled regardless (Without User Team Play Input). That's why I believe EA is bringing real time game speed AI movements to 16. Making it the most "sim" Live experience to date. Making all of the user team play inputs as strategic advantages over any opponent.Comment
