Not around the game anymore...anyone see the arena atmosphere option pop back up?

On the Xbox One it disappears after you go into a mode!! And it still doesn't work. Not sure what the issue is with that

I just seen there is an update on the One. I didn't read this thread yet because I want stuff to be a surprise. Haven't played the game in a few days. I'll be back to read impressions and give my own. I'm psyched. Hopefully when I get back I wont read a bunch of posts saying "Poor guy, he has no idea he's better off selling apples on the freeway"

Wasn't really impressed. Game is still broken.

I can't believe we're stuck with this low camera angle for the shoot around mode

I got the passback bug after the update in rising star mode. I was able to counter it by pressing the set-screen button before or after pressing pass. That kills any lead passes on cuts.

Overall I don't see huge changes. Shootaround is just the demo shown to journalists at trade shows, and learning the moves from that camera view to executing them during a gameplay view doesn't translate well. They should have added one on one post play, freethrows and text jumpshot feedback in this mode to accompany the icon flash.

Player response is a little bit better, but still delayed for the most part. Learning how and when your player pivots when changing directions makes the control difficult. CPU can still waltz past full court defenders like the defender took a bad angle or something, and ends up behind the ballhandler in the backcourt. I'm going to go off and say I don't really believe Sean O'Brien when he said(in a youtube interview) it could be multiple factors from the way animations are motion captured to how the animators put them in the game as that sounds like an excuse. The response issues have been in the game since NBA Live 08 and they need to be ironed out. Compare the responsiveness of dribbling while moving to just moving and you will see something wrong there. I'm glad they are finally acknowledging it and working on it, though.

Looks like they improved the speed of jumping for block shots by slowing them down along with the angles defenders take to contest shots.

The visuals look a bit better and the animations smoother, but possibly at a cost of some responsiveness, even though it was improved in some areas. I think the players skin tones are just too flat with one color, and that leads to the plastic/clay look. Some improved texture with more color variation and better shaders should improve that area.

Visuals do look less "plastic", but besides that, I really don't see much difference in how they used to be.

I think others mentioned it previously, but directional pressing seems way off now.

The responsiveness is improved, though. Doesn't feel like I'm fighting the controller anymore on the fast break or on defense.

I really like the practice mode. It's fun to try out a player's skills without a defence. I like how they make the song in the background sound as if it were coming through the gyms speakers. Is it just me or do the player look like giants with the camera angle.

Bouncetek is a lot better too, way more responsive than before. Haven't really played enough to notice a difference in the passing.

Graphics look pretty nice, more sharp than before. Again haven't really played enough to see the little differences the lighting makes. I'll play some more an give more detailed impressions later.

The controls feel more fluid in the practice mode!! Why can;t this translate to the game

this is a great game if you want to play ultimate team and exibition, but for a dynasty guy like myself, drastic changes needed asap!

Just a quick note for anyone who didn't know, if you press up on the d-pad in the tutorial, the little box that show the controls goes away.
