Animations are also a lot better but still not at 2k level and still kind of jerky. The game over all fells a lot better then any NBA live in a while though. Wondering if I should take a chance or not on this game. Any idea what its franchise mode is going to be like? I have not been following the news on this game. Shoot blocking on default there are way to many. In a 5 minute quarter game so a 20 minute game both me and CPU must have had like 15 blocks or something crazy.


    I think you should spend a lot more time with the demo. If you are having fun get the game. $40 on day 1 is a solid deal. I blow that on random stuff on a normal weekend. That being said if you like Ultimate team and The One mode this will be a great game for you. If you are a franchise guy you should probably pass unfortunately.

      If you don't press Steph, he will take bombs. Klay loves to shoot after receiving a pass if you're a step behind. And KD is a killer all over the court.

      Seems the intensity amps up in the 4th. The stars start taking over. Very nice to see.

      Agreed. I can keep it close on All-Star and they just take off the last few minutes of the 4th. Big time challenge and I love it.

          Trying to defend ai players in the street is a pain in the ***. You just can't move quick enough to cut them off and trying to contest is delayed.

              The developers put THOUGHT into it. The players look great. The animations look grade. I don't really enjoy how slow people feel when sprinting, but it's something that can be patched. Also, the sound of a "block" is something that can be patched.

              This is the right step and as someone who hasn't bought a live game sinceNBA LIVE 10, this game will be getting purchased by me.

              Do me a favor. Try the game out with an open mind. Forget about 2K for a second. Appreciate what this game actually offers which is a GREAT my player mode and attention to detail. Stop writing the game off. TRY IT OUT.

              I get that people want competition to make games better so there's an enthusiasm for EA to make a basketball game that pushes 2k harder. Or maybe some folks just don't like 2k. Me? I absolutely love 2k and I guess that's why I'm just not feeling Live. There isn't a sports title that has a franchise mode that comes close to being as deep. But I'm glad EA are trying, its to the NBA's credit that their license isn't exclusive and allows competition. I wish that was available in the football genre.

              I do find it sad that people claim to be "tired" of 2k. It's the most feature rich, best produced sports videogame and as a sports videogame fan we should celebrate that.

                  Wing scorer is pretty nice. But where did hybrid wing go?

                                Game is a great challenge for me on All-Star.

                                The A.I feels really good here.

                                Still can't get over how well done The One is.

                                I will spend a lot of time in that mode for sure.
