    First impressions (ps4) - post 3v3 into...

    Wow. Player movement is MUCH improved. Passing, dribbling, shooting, all felt very responsive and smooth.

    Transition animations are better

    Shaq’s dunks felt great. He barely got any lift.

      Love what I see and man I’ll tell you that the player movement is the best I have ever played and seen to date. Extremely fluid . I can’t wait for the full version

            Movement and defense are top notch. Post game needs work but excellent upgrade

              Post game still hasn't changed? That was one of the areas they said they worked on.

                They did work on it but I'm so used to the other game and all of the options we had that are sometimes compared to life but I shouldn't. The simple things like choosing which hand to do hook shot with it's something I love

                  Unreal improvement from 18. From the shooting to player movement to layups to defense. I’m in awe. This is the best basketball game I’ve played. So enjoyable thus far from visuals to gameplay.

                  Fingers crossed for the 5 on 5 nba gameplay.

                    Does the face scans look as good as the pictures they released?

                        How do you just play a normal game of basketball? I did all the one stuff and it says I have to play game 2 of the rise but that's locked! WTF?

                          Loved the intro and breaking ankles with Iverson felt great.

                          Loved the cut away scenes were they are showing video from people’s cell phones in the crowd super cool.

                          Really liked that when the one story is unfolding they showed highlights of one of my games.

                          The one looks like it will be fun this year.

                          Now on to nba play now.

                          Liked that they had a little better ESPN broadcast intro to start the game.

                          19 makes last years game look like doggy doo doo. TD garden was absolutely gorgeous. I like the player models and face scans were good. The players still have a little bit of robotics to them but it’s better than in the past.

                          Tip off is much improved.

                          The cpu wasn’t he’ll bent on getting to the rim which was by far my biggest complaint and ultimate game killer last year. In fact the CPU put up 70 on me and only had 20 points in the paint.

                          Movement was smooth and I had some incidents that unfolded that honestly were jaw dropping. I stole the ball with Kylie than ran the floor and double pumped a layup and got an and 1. Then got to choose 4 types of celebrations.

                          There were a reasonable amount of block shots and all of them were appropriate. Was a problem last year.

                          Half time show is exactly the same which is great. Best half time of any sports game.

                          What I didn’t like.

                          Plays are just plain bad and even worse broken. I can’t imagine a world were anyone could use them and find any success. Been that way for far too long with Live.

                          Another big problem I had with last years game that is unfortunately prominent again was that it was very rare that anyone on the user side got open looks. There is little to no screens or off ball movement which makes driving to the hoop the only real option. Cpu defenders don’t play help defense so you can’t even drive and kick to an open guy. They just stay with their man no matter what and are happy to let you drive.

                          The games I played were dunk fests. I must have had 20 dunks a game.

                          Free throw shooting with meter is still way too easy. If you have have any reflexes you can shoot 100%

                          All in all I’m pretty optimistic. I’m not much for the one type modes but I actually think I will get into it this year. I have a strong suspicion that franchise is untouched which ultimately will hurt the longevity but there’s no doubt there is fun to be had here.

                            You have to talk to the guy who you see at the beginning of the game talking. I had that problem too. But once you reply to his long text message, it unlocks.

                              The one looks and feels amazing.

                              5 on 5 nba action is absolute garbage. Commentary so awful. Not even a post season atmosphere. The crowd feels disconnected. Default sliders are whack af.

                              Huge buzzkill.

                              Zero effort into the nba aspect of NBA live.

                              Embarrassing nba product.

                              The one is the only reason to buy this game. Just so much to like from that experience as a basketball player.


                              Definitely not paying for 60 Bucks for this half assed garbage.

                              Probably will have to mute commentary and mess with sliders a ton.

                              Just need a blacktop mode in the streets.

                              Ugh.
                              No point of even diving into franchise mode.
