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

So pissed my save file got corrupted during the update today and now my Pro-Am character got deleted. I had gotten so far with goals in the different pro-am courts that I don't even want to play the mode anymore. This really ruined my day smh.

Did you possibly try recovering it from the cloud? Im pretty sure all our saves are uploaded to the xbox cloud or something

The Live Content Updates have corrupted my settings as well. I had to download them from the cloud on PS4.

That's what Sean O'Brien said, guess they reneged and turned the demo off gunning for sales at this point with a "no demo, buy now" campaign. Im just guessing, prolly an issue with it. It wanted me to redownload the game. did this happen to you CC7?

How come nobody ever mentions the fact that against the cpu you will ALWAYS win the tipoff........You literally can just slam on Y and you will win the tip off every time.......Please fix this in a patch

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

Difference between retail w/ patch vs the demo is night and day. I'm seeing more mid-range jumpers from the cpu. Better rebounding. More collision in the paint. This game is a BLAST to play. I haven't had this much fun since Live 2005 on my old PS3. I'm glad I didn't fall for the hype and stick it out w/ Live 16.

I just had a triple-overtime thriller thriller, me (Spurs) vs Denver. The crowd/arena atmosphere is second to none. My chest was pounding and I was sweating late in the ball game. Felt like I was out there playing. The controls are tight and very responsive.

Also graphics-wise, this is the best looking NBA game ever.

I'm so happy that I chose Live 16 as my go-to NBA game this year. I'm hoping that the next patch will continue to build off this latest update and new content is added (ie D'Angelo Russell still doesn't look like him).

Props to the EA Live 16 team. The last 2 years (Live 14 and Live 15) were a travesty but this years version is great.

Man I was gunna hold out buying live for a bit(I'm a little broke at the moment haha) but these impressions really make me want to pick it up. I really enjoyed the demo, I just couldn't value the game at $60 this year after paying $60 for the past 2 years. If I keep hearing more good impressions about the retail version I might have to pull a few strings to get it.

Ps+ automatically saves files to the cloud. I would check and hope you can find it there.

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

The game is much improved from the demo, thank goodness that sweeping layup has been toned down. NOBODY does that man, lol

I am glad that the AI on Superstar is actually giving a challenge...I probably went 30+-0 against the CPU last year...but I don't see that happening this year...the Warriors are especially hard to beat. With a challenge comes some "cheese" tactics by the CPU which is expected. If they don't have anything on a possession, a lot of time they'll dump it down to whoever and do a uninterruptible move or hook for an easy bucket. All in all a lot better than last year though. I am seeing some varied offense between teams so far.

This leads me into some issues I am still having:

Paint defense is still rough...I think this game is a lot more fun HUM vs. HUM so unless I'm having a couch battle sliders aren't an option here. Its a mess online though...just way too easy to get into the paint for an easy bucket.

Bigs are still driving to the basket with guard speed. Players are quick on NBA LIVE. So I sag my big to the paint of the floor in anticipation of a drive....way too often guys like Robin Lopez can make mad dashes from the 3 point line to the paint.

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

It's not a bad game. It really isn't.

Spacing..good, Tempo..good. Controls..nice and simple to get a hang of, and the teams are not clones of each other in their freelance sets. There's more individualized execution than I expected.

Shot making is too generous though..and it is a damn parade to the paint. That needs tuning as soon as it can be tuned. Passing..the ball at times just ROCKETS to it's target. Really weird. Fewer animation borks, especially in contact foul situations.

Viewing this game from the perspective of actually playing the ghastly '14...the moderately improved '15..they are doing the right things.

Throw in the ProAm Mode, and the game is good enough to stick around the rotation

I have to come on here and say I was wrong about this game. From the day I received my retail copy until this game is like night and day. It has changed dramatically. I can say I thank the good Lord that no one purchased my game of Craigslist.

Whatever EA did with there tweaks/updates has made this game a competitor. To the guys/gals who worked on this title I give kudos to you. It may not have a lot of the bells and whistles but it plays a damn good game of ball.

WTF thanks for keeping us in the loop about this game.
