NBA Live 16 Makes Its Move Up the Ladder
 

Has there been a more polarizing sports game this year than EA’s most recent basketball title? Either people have really enjoyed the game or simply hated it, but very few have fallen in the middle. When Ben Vollmer initially reviewed NBA Live 16 here at Operation Sports, he gave the title a 6.0 out of 10, meaning the game was above average but far from a classic.

Some of the game's initial downfalls were no customization, average gameplay and poor commentary. While any review is subjective and only one person’s opinion, our review fell into line with what most thought. In addition to the shortcomings listed already, the game lacked proper animations, and many of the incoming rookies and lesser known players had generic created faces.

Good read. I keep this game in my rotation

Good read. So do you think the shooting has improved since launch?

Re: NBA Live 16 Makes Its Move Up the Ladder
 

I think everything has improved since launch(on the court), with the exception of promoting the product effectively and the decreased interaction with the community. In a re-rating I think the game stands well on its own, and is in a good position to add more of the community requested content in the immediate future, or the next release.

I'm thinking about renting this one, as I currently have a slight case of 2k fatigue. I honestly wanted to buy Live this year for that very reason, but the demo was so awful that I couldn't talk myself into it.

Anyone want to give me some good selling points for the latest version of the game? Is it insane to think that I'd still enjoy Live after playing 2k for several years now?

I give the game a 7 right now. As a stand alone 5 on 5 bball game, it's definitely fun. If the game modes like Rewind and Moments worked properly I'd be willing to go 7.5. Kudos for EA trying even with the poor sales numbers.

ProAm is definitely very fun and leveling up is quite a chore but I do enjoy it. The game plays smooth online and off. Patch 3 made the game much more enjoyable and defense is adequate. Great atmosphere and great looking. My only main gripe is nba rewind and big moments doesn't seem to be working

Game is $20 now on Xbox One on EA Access, that's worth the purchase...time to get more people online with it and doing pro-AM
