First off I want to say this is the most complete demo I've ever played, the amount of polish that is gone into this shows the EA sports really took the time to get this right. There has been a lot of bashing in the last few years of the live series but I think this could possibly be the best NBA live in history ( Big statement I know )
Positive's
1. The game is just so much more fluid. There is a BIG difference in using John Wall as opposed to someone like Deandre Jordan. The games have a real good tempo about them.
2. Shooting is super improved, you actually wanna shoot jump shots in this game. Some awesome step backs in there too
3. Players play like themselves, I was able to "bury" my head into the defender on post moves while using Blake Griffin, have the ball on a string with CP3, murder off the dribble with Kyrie ( with some amazing finishes too). I've seen the most life like lay ups ever in a computer game. A huge improvement from last year.
4. You got to work on defence. There are some nice tip block animations,playing the passing lanes etc... Really good stuff. And it's not as if it's overkill either, you can't just button mash.
5. Teams are going to there stars. Playing through Lebron and Kyrie. Excellent to see.
6. Passing is another huge improvement. Touch passes, hand offs all look fantastic
7. The visuals are just CRAZY! Player models and front and presentation are by far the best of ever seen in an NBA live game .
Negatives
1. Speed is a little bit hit and miss there are some really bad slowdown animations that you see from time to time.
2. The out of bounds force field is still there
3. There are still a few funky player animations where the player seems to get stuck in a bad direction of po there are still a few funky player animations weather player seems to get stuck in a bad directional pull. Feels really forced
4. No player edits ( ok ok I just threw this one in here cause it sucks not to have it.. Yes I know it's a demo, but there still confirmed to not be in)
All in all I feel like the negatives could be very easily patched. Normally demos are not of final build but I feel like this game is going to be very complete and a lot of fun and that something I miss about playing video games . I've actually woken my son up who is sick in bed several times to show him replays of some amazing stuff . I'm super excited for NBA live 16 and this demo should really help sway some people back to the NBA live series .
Congratulations EA sports , the demo is an absolute winner!
