    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.

      It's a solid game....

      Still has some warps but less warps than what we saw in demo if that means anything.

      I'm still not happy with lack of editing and Franchise mode where I can't play any game I want to play

      Been fooling around with sliders on the 3 different levels trying to decide which level i'm going to roll with this year.

      Last year I waited til Black Friday to pick it up (X-Mas gift) this year although reluctant I did get it on release day.

      So they (EA) made enough progress from Live 15 to 16 to get my attention again after about 4-5 years of frustration I had with the series.

        The game has just evolved the last few times I've played. The majority of the goofy stuff is not happening. Play Sim style and the game plays Sim. Running plays is a thing of beauty imo. The mid range game is there now. I can list others but those things stood out. I was playing vs the Cavs and LBJ was LBJ. If I had of not quit he would of had a triple double against me. Love was shooting 3's and mid range game. Just a really solid balance that I saw and again no goofy stuff like before the updates

          No impression from me as I don't have the game...but, I do have a question? I'm guessing I'm in the minority, but graphics wise, (I've only played the demo) I don't see a great looking game...some player faces are very weird looking, even LBJ looks not right. The jerseys don't fit properly, and the overall game looks kinda like a cartoon in motion rather than a video game. Just my opinion, but, on a scale from 1-10, where you all put the graphics? I just don't see it...

              Graphics are awesome... Overall stadium graphics, courts, shoes, etc I'll give a 10. Players graphics are where it's different. In zoomed in, player graphic 9-10 easily, when out of zoomed and not cut scene, 6-7 at best IMO. That has been my issue with live for yrs now!

                Gonna pick it up either today or tomorrow as I did buy 14 and 15 and like the Ultimate Team. Just too lazy to run out and go get it.

                  Nba live 16 isnt horrible but still one thing that messes up the game is the feel it doesnt have that realistic flow to it and the moment is better from the previous years but still has a little of the cardboard box movement..They on the right track tho but they need to get the players/amimations looser/more realistic...Other then that this is a better live 16....

                    My Files didn't get Corrupted. I have been a 2k Freak and I have 2k and I can honestly say I am having for fun this year playing this game than 2k. I don't know if it is just because its something new because 2K is essentially a copy and paste with tweaks but I love the in air collisions on this game I love how in this game my guys don't feel stuck like they do in 2K at times. I think the fluidity of the game is great. I don't know how anyone else feels but thats just my take.

                      this is difficult to answer without mentioning another game

                      But what i feel EAsports always nails is the color palette and lighting of the stadiums

                      this year though they really stepped it up with faces and overall body types as well.

                      the main issue is some issues witht eh way the necks are too wide comparatively to the width of the shoulders. and then the way the kerseys are tucked in but that is due to the way NBA Live handles the torso.

                      in PES2016 you can edit that stuff as well as the other game but its really about how the jerseys are tucked that make it look a bit off.


                      continued plays of the game and things do start to blur and you dont notice and this year the blur is Good

                      meaning prolonged play helps you get used to it.

                      I think one of the reasons why the game never Really looks that realistic or even spot on right from the jump at launch is because the dev team probably doesnt get ppl outside of their camp to look at it

                      say what you want about community events but ive been to them and they were mad at me when i started playing with sliders 30 minutes into previewing their games...


                      What im trying to get at is they need proper quality control of such things so that when the community gets the game its already been dealt with

                      But on a scale of 1 to ten?

                      Lets say this.

                      It finally looks next gen or current gen or whatever you wanna call this console period.

                        I'm impressed. Patch bailed them out big time. Mid range game and 3 game is in effect for both the USER and CPU. Offball movement has been improved as well, players no longer just stand there like zombies after a play is ran. Some of the plays being ran in this offball movement is kind of questionable though. I saw them clear out for an ISO play for a player who is fast but don't have the best handles in the world.

                        Seem as though Live 16 only have 1 type of block and that is send it flying type of block. I wish they add some subtle style blocks as well because at times they block too hard and the ball goes out of bounds. Where as a nice subtle block would allowed you get possession and start off a fast break.

                        Game speed is too fast. Game plays like a sprint race. Sad thing is everybody the court seem to be able to run very fast. There are still some automatic unstoppable lay up and dunk animations that start out kind of far from the basket. I noticed that force field along the baseline is still there. I seen CPU ball handlers glide along that invisible wall several times on lay up and dunk animations. When in reality they should have been bumped out of bounds.

                        Post game, well that is still the same. Pretty limited and the glaring sore spot in the game. Dribble hand offs are much smoother and effective now. In the demo I felt like it wasn't effective against the CPU, but now it is. The AI while improved, is still lacking but much better then the demo AI.

                        As it stands now, I would give this an 8 out 10. Patch saved some jobs and this series. I feel the bad demo will hurt their sales though since most people base their buying off how the demo plays.

                          I made a similar comment some time ago about the potential for the various quirks and issues within the demo to turn some people away unfortunately. It will be a big shame if that turned out to be the case because this game is truly very competent and engaging at this stage with the inclusion of the patches. We can only hope for "common sense to prevail" as they say, and for these same people to give the game a second look fully understanding they were playing a "demo" that by design should have inherent flaws that are usually addressed with final releases and with patches.

                          Only in this case the Live team desired to reach the masses and finally achieved a wider audience (especially from the other side of the pond) with the announcement and subsequent release of the demo. It certainly would have been nice and effective to show a more fully polished product (sure time constraints played a role in releasing with some of the major flaws intact). I still support their strategy of at least releasing such a fully featured demo. We can only hope that some of these folks were captivated enough by the Pro Am mode (If turned off by the Nba game) and/or saw enough potential in the Nba game to return and revisit the entire game post patches. Time will only tell. I still stand by what I said earlier. There is something different and also promising about the way things are being handled this year. I expect them to continue improving this game in any way possible. Their dedicated efforts are clearly coming to fruition. Congrats to the team for this marvelous achievement! WTF and Mrprice33 were right on the money all along!

                            Theres one issue that bugs me..when you have to ball..and just want to move up a little if your too far out beyond the 3...you just flick the left stick a little foward and your guy like LUNGES forward and goes really far...you cant just slowly move foward...they could work on making moving a little more controlled for if you wanna move slowly around..not just flying around everywhere..

                              I just lost a game because the game wouldn't trigger a foul. I am so mad. Any other time that would have been a foul. 6 swipes at the ball and not 1 foul triggered.....SMH.

                              Offensive rebounds, like the other game is severely lacking by default. Going to see if there is a slider for that. No team grabs enough offensive rebounds. I just noticed sliders change by 10 now, WTF ? It was by 5 in the demo now they raised it by 10 ? Why not make it by 1.

                                I believe the slider increments have always been 10 dI gits since the demo release.
