Re: NBA Live 16 Available Today, Post Your Impressions Here

I'm not saying 2k16 is perfect I just feel Live has some more obvious flaws that stand out. To me 2k could use some tweaking to improve the game where as Live needs some fixing to improve the experience...not sure if that makes any sense to you guys.

It does! NBA 2K16 is phenomenal but i love the fact Live is back on trail, it is something on his own league, more arcadey and fun experience you know... i love them both.
Like the new shoot meter so much, nice idea to put meter above player head, i find not too comfortable to look under player feet on NBA 2K16 with broadcast view.

My buddy picked it up, after waiting for the new update to install we gave it a go. Right off the back, i could tell that the update fixed a lot of things things that i complained about during video. The game is extremely fun, but there are still crazy/weird things that happen that destroy my experience. Like the very first game i played, the player shot a backwards jumpshot. and it still went in. I thought that bug was being addressed. Still need some work, game is fun, but i will not purchase it at 60 dollars as i have said before. Thats just my conclusion, will get the game though, but not at retail value. I got the competition game at $36 bucks as well on pc, so no way will i spend more that that for this game at moment.

I'm really enjoying Live 16. Obviously It's not as intricate as 2K16, but it's a solid game. I've been playing 2K non-stop since Friday and played about 4-full games of Live last night. It was kind refreshing to play a more laid back brand of basketball (since 2K is such a mental grind). It'm not saying it's an arcade game; just not as sim heavy as the other tittle.

Controlling you player around the court feels very smooth. Calling plays is a blast. Shooting also feels very good. I found myself constantly thriving on the opportunity of taking open shots that were product of good basketball decisions than trying to manage my way to the rim like a maniac. Surprisingly enough, I'm having success rebounding the ball. It's not an easy task, but it can be mastered. The same goes for denying opponents at the rim. It can be done, and blocks actually look good although the warping light-speed penetrations are extremely out of context.

Graphics wise, dare I say it has surpassed the other game. Player models, textures, lightning and stadiums look amazing. The animations are coming along too, although not a strong point for the series yet and not in 2K's league.

Presentation has quietly become a highlight for the series. The ESPN packaging has finally been put to good use and the crowds are really alive!

I really love basketball and videogames, so there's enough room in my heart for both games. At the end of the day it's a fun game and that's what videogames should be all about.

My rating is a 7,5/10 (while 2K16 being a 9/10).
If they had an edit player feature I'd bump it to a solid 8.

I'm not a mod, but can we get impressions without mentioning 2k? This is not a comparison thread.

Are you able to play a season mode where you can play with all teams?

No. Hopefully it will be a top priority next year

I played my first game on the retail version a few minutes ago. NYK vs IND. I could tell off the bat that the inside shooting had been tweaked. I was seeing lots of misses inside. We were both shooting around 48% at the half. It seems to me that the contesting was turned up. I was still able to hit consistently after coming of screens. I played tons of ea access. Superstar difficulty. After I play some dynasty games I'll give my score. Definitely a substantial improvement from 14 & 15.-

This gane is a perfect example of you don't make decisions off a demo

Live is definitely the more accessible game of the two which I feel is a result of them going for a casual sim game. It's not full out nba sim but it's not as arcadey as past Live games. To me Live is an easier game pick up, play and have fun where as 2k has a bit of a learning curve to it .

I don't have the full game but based on my time with the demo and trial version this is easily the best Live game since at least 10. I didn't spend a ton of time with 10 so that is unfair for me to comment on which game is better but Live 10 was the last Live game I had fun with and actually considered purchasing.

Without question, alot of demo complaints were addressed! Will give some feedback after putting more time in but this is a very very positive change from the demo. I will check into the interior defense and report results with slider adjustments post patches.

I was prompt to update on 10 hr EA access trail don't know if that was the big patch or just roster update I did notice some rookies were scanned it not all .....I really hope EA add in some new scans I know they were at teams media day yesterday would be dope if they add them in this year not 17

I saw those photos too of them scanning players at their respective Media Day locations. All I can say is that with their patch, they said that there changed some of the players' faces. Whose exactly? All I know is Willie Cauley-Stein, Justise Winslow, and Kelly Oubre Jr. That's all I know. Hopefully, Luke Babbitt still doesn't look like Hines Ward.
