NBA Live 16 Makes Its Move Up the Ladder

Re: NBA Live 16 Makes Its Move Up the Ladder

Once they add more animations especially in the post, refine the modes they have now especially dynasty, and add more control options, then the game can be an 8. Until then, it's about a 6-7.

Welcome to the board!

I'd rate it's Pro-am alone a 9. Well worth $20.

Uhhh. I've only seen one patch. Go back in the thread history. One patch. It took them months just to add face scans and your praising them for it? 2k has 4 patches out this year...... 4.... and face scans at launch. They even added several new elements to their game in patches. I'm nothing close to a fanboy, but this is ridiculous. Live should not be praised in any way because of their support. The reality is they haven't supported this game since launch. Nice to hear it is playing a little better but this article is way off

I like the gameplay & soundtrack alot, I hate the bland commentary & the glitch that makes players shirtless on the court. EA has to do a better job with the updates too, there are alot of injured players who are active & vice versa.

It's a step in the right direction for the series. But some of the glitches are huge problems & it is unacceptable & inexcusable for a next gen game.

Um, there have been 4 patches. Maybe you should look at the update history. :-)

EA needs to change its slogan "EA SPORTS, IT IN THE GAME".. to "EA SPORTS, A STEP IN THE RIGHT DIRECTION"...
every year EA gets a pass with this comment for multiple sports title releases.

Maybe four updates to go along with rosters. Those are not patches. Those may include small tweaks to their gameplay maybe by tuning their own sliders, but they are not patches. As you can see within this NBA Live forum there has only been one actual patch.

And most of those updates were simply adding a few jerseys in with rosters, etc. I remember last year every time a roster came out it said updated data and everyone instantly thought that something happened. They gave no notes and it always had a placebo effect where people thought something happened and it didn't.

And please. Show me four patches with full patch notes. Any patches always have official notes so please prove me wrong.

Again, we want to enjoy NBA Live on its own right. 2k has tweaked gameplay mechanics multiple times without a patch. But they have had four actual patches with patch notes. That's commendable. One patch??? Not so much

2k should of stayed with only one patch.

Really poor timing for such an article.

Especially given stuff like Porzingas and others with generic faces, a full mode (yes that's right a FULL ADVERTISED MODE) that does not work (Rewind and Big Moments fyi), much more frequent shirtless player bugs, freezing during Rising Star etc.

I'd want someone who knew the game inside out to be writing articles.

Re: NBA Live 16 Makes Its Move Up the Ladder

There have been a total of 3 patches, last patch being the biggest one that should have came out with the game on release date. This article is not miss leading by any means if you have only play the demo and only read what you see online and haven't played the game since the demo, the game has came along way and still has ways to go. There are head Starching bugs and glitches but game plays way better than it did on release, and I know that for a fact cause I had the game before release from the NY event.

I'm downloading a 2.6 GB update right now. I already played this morning so I assume this is a 4th patch I'm getting right now?

There have been 3 to 4 patches and smaller updates as you start the game up that may be small scale tweaks. I loved the demo and I have borrowed the game a few times to change pace when 2K seems to become to much. I'd say a solid 7 because the online is fun but I have been preaching my motto for live. "They forgot to include the 21 gigs of defense". 2K is a big game on my hard drive but overall I am a defensive player and live is making strides at adding back a consistent customer.

P.S. $20 on XBOX One EA Access. I might as well just grab it this weekend. That's greatest hits price right there. (PlayStation 2 days)

Yup just got it too, so now there is a total of 4/5 patches

Too many in game mechanics are subpar, for it to merit a midrange score, I don't get it. You describe a game that is a 4, and the patches move it to a 5, not anything more.
