    Re: NBA Live 16 Demo Available For Xbox One and PS4, Post Your Impressions

    got bored of pro am and went back to playing quick match to see if i notice anything else. glad i did go back,i noticed 2 major flaws from live 15 are back BOTH GAMES WERE IN PRO

    i played clippers vs warriors (me) and Bulls vs Wizards (me) , and in both games i had the dunk frequency lowered to 30 cause in the OKC vs cavs games most of the points was lebron and crew throwing it down. so i wanted to see what will happen now,

    in the clippers game Blake Griffin, Jordan and Paul Seemed confused at what were they suppose to do now to score (while funny) it was also annoying. like only 5 Jumpers were taken all game, 4 being 3s. the rest of the points were lay ups or put backs. i won that game by 30 however. next game the same thing occured. the bulls rarely shot the ball. and instead kept coming for layups which kept being set back. and in 2 drives, Butler got into the post up animation on the free throw line and just stood like that till the shot clock ran out. i won by near 20

    Where the 5 sec. violation? and why is he stuck?

    i dont see the slider to fix the jump shot issuse which bums me out (unless its there and im reading it wrong) and that post up glitch is a year or 2 old. lets get that out of here

          I love to play sport games online.... Last season I played 2K game, but from europe its very rare to find a good connection in a match. Common problem is the lag due to oversea servers.
          In this NBALive the online matches looks stable and lag-less... even if from video its difficlut to judge.

          Someone playing the game? Can you confirm this?

          Ive just now start the dwl of the demo for my PS4.

          If the game confirm the good online compart, maybe I'll buy the game just for online matches...

            Played another game with the Warriors and Clippers. Went down to the wire. 99-98 Warriors (me).

            The more I play this game, the more I'm enjoying it. I have gone back to icon passing for precise passing controls. I'm getting use to icon passing disappearing if I don't hold onto the button. Still a little challenging trying to get the exact screener I want. But the screen button and the way you can feather your players is a magnificent wonderful touch. I think I have started to get a handle on doing fast breaks after rebounds, maybe ... I think. You're still holding down the sprint button, but I'm also holding down the icon passing button as well looking to pass the ball through available passing lanes.

            The biggest issues I'm still seeing is no bank shots. High arcing interior paint shots. Lack of proper contextual shots on the interior. Delayed button input specifically for jumping for a rebound and blocking shots. The other noticeable delay is when you switch to the interior paint player trying to either block a shot or grab a rebound, there is probably a 1 to 1.5 second delay when pressing the jump button, which prevents me from successfully grabbing a board or blocking a shot.

            All offense sliders dropped down to 10. Post game remained at 50.
            All defense sliders bumped up to 100.
            All Star. 12 minute quarters.


            Shots definitely were no longer a guarantee, although contested floaty layups may still have too much success. Layups are suppose to have a fairly good success rate, but it's just the type wonky animations triggering that makes it strange seeing them have success. Dunks are down. Interior scoring for both teams a little bit more difficult.

            Could very well grab both 2k16 (definitely) and Live16 (possibly, still debating) this year and run an offline franchise. I don't do online, thus will not be participating in Pro-Am or any other modes from either company.

            Appears one must be connected to the internet in order to play. Likely has something to do with SYNERGY. Every single time I start up Live16, synergy updates and synergy can only update via online. That's probably why online might always be required. If it's synergy causing the hold up, why not allow the gamer to choose if s/he wants to use it?

              Played some live run with the bro and had a good time. Get 10 guys who know what they're doing and I could see these something that I could get into long-term.

              With that said, the rebounding is a crap shoot. Input is already sluggish, but add the online lag and timing rebounds becomes even more of a struggle.

              Also, I'm assuming you're not going to be able to access live run on the demo after release? Any word on this?

                To everyone is who having trouble rebounding. At least as far as defensive rebounding, just hold the left trigger near the ball and your guy will automatically jump for the rebound. Under no circumstances should you be pressing the jump button unless you are going for an offensive rebound.

                      It should be a one or two step process. I didn't remember my password, so I simply went online (computer internet) and had to reset my password. Once that happened, I went back into EA Live16's demo and logged on. Exact steps are hazy because it was earlier in the day.

                          I took a few days as I wanted to give the game a fair shake. After playing for a while, it just feels like Live 15.5 to me. I had Live 15 and it had its place but ultimately it sat on the shelf. This feels a lot like that, except a little better gameplay wise. Shooting is definitely better, but that's the only immediately noticeable gameplay difference to me. It feels more like a lateral step than the large leap I expected and need out of the gameplay. The sliders are a nice addition and I know it will help some. I know Pro Am was a big emphasis for them this year, and it may prove to be more fruitful as far as drawing in new gamers, but I'm an offline "franchise" type. While I haven't been able to play it yet, the Live team has all but confirmed that minimal changes have gone into Dynasty mode. So that alone has cratered the replay value to me. If the on court gameplay had made the leap then I could overlook that to a degree. But without it I just cant get with it this year. I'll probably wait until it hits EA Access next year sometime.

                            Anyone seen the CPU try an ally oop yet?

                            Also...rebounding is really, really, really bad.

                            Hoping the day one patch addresses it as it is terrible.

                              Loved the bullet pass from near mid court.

                              The rebounding should be a bit better as well.
