For those that are seeing a lot of drives by the cpu and not being contested, check the sliders this year. They really helped lessen the amount of the times drives to the hoop end in some kind of collision.

Yeah I played a head to head online and it was pretty rough, I won though!....at least shooting is better so it encourages *some* other kind of offense...

Beefing up interior defense would help Pro Am a lot I think....ball hogs would have something to fear driving into traffic

I like NBA Live 16 this year! I'm impressed, way more fun than 2K16 (which is great, however). New shoot meter seem nice.

Call me old fashion but I'm not a big fan of messing around with sliders. I understand they can make a game play a lot better, and in this case if might be necessary, but I feel a game should play well out of the box or after a day one patch.

If I buy a sports game I shouldn't have to mess around with different settings and sliders to fix deficiencies, especially something like the cpu driving in the lane at will. I can understand fixing sliders for more contact in the paint or more fouls, that is something that is a bit more subjective. However the CPU driving in the lane at will shouldn't be a problem in the first place. This is an issue people would be complaining about 10+ years ago. It shouldn't be an issue in this age of gaming. Just my 2 cents.

Agree with both of u guys, not a great slide fan too, in fact i hate it!
But even NBA 2K16 needs some slider tweak oob, because cpu is still very aggressive on shoot percentage and there's too easy layups missed. IMHO.

100% agree and I'm old fashion too, and in age. I remember the days of games just working on release day. But what game out of the box is perfect now a days? That's why more and more companies are coming out with betas and alpha. Hopefully sports game will get to that point.

What that said, how many games have been released over the past few years that didn't require a day one patch?

I was only pointing out the sliders are there to help with some of the issues. It will really only help in users vs. user games and user vs. cpu games, but it's there if people want to use them.

I hear you. I'm also not expecting games to play perfect out of the box or not need patches but I feel like certain issues shouldnt have made it to the game in the first place. In Live's case it just concerns me when I see legacy type issues that should have been ironed out by now. With this game I see so many improvements but then I see things that have me saying "ehh same old Live." It boggles my mind how they can improve so much in some areas but then have issues that have been present in the series for quite some time. It is great that they have sliders that can improve areas of the game but if these tools are available to the user then why dont the developers use the same tools to improve their game?

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.

Lot of discussion, still not seeing much in terms of impressions. I'd genuinely like to know what more people are thinking about this game.

I played the trail for a few minutes after we got done with 2k kodii. It's not a bad game at all. It's a fun over experience. They added some nice animations to the post game and drives to the hoop. I'll play more later tonight unless you and Pappy hook me again

**Maxbeatzz** · 09-29-2015, 02:25 PM

To those who own the game was it worth it...I have it pre ordered but I'm now on the fence!

That's the reason I'd like to hear people's opinions, I believe it will be great in 2-3 years if the plug isn't pulled on it again. Pappy and I played quite a bit of the trial and like every game, it needs some work.

You WILL help us turn that park into a sim basketball haven, you don't have a choice man.

Make sure that everyone restarts the game and gets the 9-29 update.

How long is the install?

I pre-ordered the jordan version of 2k16 and live 16. My bias is that i have been a 2k die hard since dreamcast. That said I have played every Live in the post Elite era. All that said, NBA Live 16 is pretty dope. I love how the game communicates plays. It does a great job of letting you know whats coming 1 or 2 steps ahead. I like the shot meter a lot as well. By the end of the patching in Live 15 missing and making shots felt so random it was unbearable. This year if you miss a shot they will tell you if your player was a bad 3pt shooter, or not clutch. Very well done. There are a few awkward lay up animations but the game looks good. I still think nobody does ultimate team better than EA. MyTeam is mediocre but Live Ultimate Team is great once again. That said, the my player mode in Live is much weaker then the 2K spike lee joint. It's still too bare bones in NBA Live.

All in all, I think NBA Live 16 is worth a purchase. It is a solid basketball game. I am so excited to be back in an era with more than one NBA game worth playing. Reminds of back when I was playing Konami NBA games, with Live, and NBA Action.... feels good
