Obviously this game isn't for everyone, but the lies I see man smh. Learn to play the game and stop trying to play it like the other game. Maybe some of your minds are set n are trying to ignore the massive improvements in live 16. Rebounds,cross court passing,shooting responsiveness n paint defense need to be addressed tho.

The only thing that's keeping me away from purchasing this title on the first day, is that NBA 2K16 comes out I think two days after this is released or two days before, but I'm definitely get that on PC, as well as WWE 2K16, and of course Fallout 4.

This game will be awesome at a discount rate, with a patch or two released. I'm going to hold off until it takes a price dive, and I'm going to be all over it.

Finally got some time with the demo last night.

the most glaring issue right now is the PG's/players in general driving the paint and basically having 100% success rate or getting to the line.

I really hope this is something that can be fixed with either dy 1 patch or synergy.

I like the shooting it feels great. Please don't tweak it so much that it gets broken. I'll never forget the ".1 millisecond" tap of the button last year to get a properly timed jumper.

I have yet to play online H2H...so will receive judgment until then.

Yeah, it feels like it only registers when you do an LT contest, and even then is a little wonky

I'm having troubles with a lot of goals. For example one says make an assisted shot . It doesn't register on dunks on layups tho . And I'm a big man with no jumper

Dude I was so pissed yesterday because the game that requires that goal, said I didn't contest any shots when I blocked 2 shots and and was in my man's face when he was shooting another jumper. They definitely need to fix that.

Some of the physics around the paint are incredibly good.

Fouled Lebron hard using DeAndre Jordan...really good physics on display.

Potential is there for a really good game. Day one patch will be big. They need tp get that right and release extensive patch notes.

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?

I am thinking this also. For the demo that is fine. But if the retail game has to always have internet access to even play a completely offline mode I am not buying it. Which stinks as I actually like the game a whole lot.

I was gonna purchase last night but have to wait until the release and someone can assure me you can play without internet connected.

You won't need to be connected to play Live retail. You will to receive Synergy updates and roster updates, but not to just play the game. Proam, of course you'll need to be online as well.

The demo is digital only, so to ensure that it's still in the "demo period" online is required initially. I was able to sign out of the EA servers last night though, and didn't get kicked from the game.

I assure you, it's a demo-only thing.

Thanks gents, I will purchase as am online often enough to update and stuff just not all the time. I like dynasty mode and never care much if the synergy thing updates. Rosters I usually update every month or so.

Thanks WTF and mrprice33

My internet issue clarified (a parent/quest problem)

Here are what I like in the game.

- player off ball movement
- new shooting (this meter is useable, way more than any I know of)
- better defensive animations (like steals swiping correctly)
- graphics look great
- my created player looks good (even the generic faces look like actual people)
- spacing on the floor seems good
- handoff is pretty awesome addition
- Lebron seems always mad (moving from South Beach to Cleveland this makes sense) *this is just a joke

Cons

- I miss Lillard (he was adorable)
- rebounding seems to have no reasoning, one guy gets the borad others do not but why is what I am not seeing
- kinda hard to find a balance game seems way easy on lower difficulties and really hard on higher (sliders probs fix this and I am still learning play calling and running the plays I call)
- my CPU teammates do not react to pick and rolls against us like the CPU does when I use it.

I really like the game and can see this being a long lasting dynasty game for me.

Initially I did not like the demo. However with the recent Synergy update + adjusting shooting sliders (shooting% was sway too high for both cpu and user) and adjusting the camera from default to BASELINE LOW - I'm really digging the game now and probably will purchase the retail version when it releases.

WTF - is the Live team aware of the late game AI mishaps and will they FINALLY address this 2-year issue with an update patch?

This is unacceptable IMO to have this bug/glitch for the 3rd consecutive year. It completely ruins the game experience when the score is close towards the end of the 4th quarter.
