NBA Live 15 Hands-On Impressions (MMGN)

It shows the gap in expectations between the two NBA games when we're criticizing the most minute details for the other game while we appear to be missing some of the basic features (roster customization) from Live. I root for Live to close the gap but it seems every year the gap keeps widening. Still want to get my hands on the trial and hope the team has made considerable strides from last year.

As the community continues to grow, we'll get some normalcy back around these parts....right now EA could tell us they're not going to include nets in next years game and some guys would say they don't have an issue with it...

Come on with the hyperbole man lol . I wonder if NBA live team is short handed . You mean to tell me the whole team worked on gameplay ?

I plan to get both for a different experience of Bball but one just seems more complete .

Wonder if this guy was hand picked? Seems like he's the only one that has played. If that's the case, I don't feel too go about live15

Looks like they went to gamescom just to talk and not show. They should have skipped it

I'd also have to agree with most here that there's been enough "talk" about this game and its improvements. It's time to start showing some results.

Competition with the other game is not even possible with how Live is being managed right now. If there is a new found since of confidence in this title, then you have to show it plain and simple.

My two cents on all this hiding-from-the-public-strategy. In the first open letter from the team, they stated we would get a downloadable demo relatively early, usually a demo is out two weeks before release, give or take.. They want to minimize the exposure of the game till they are close to the demo release (witch is unknown). We already know when the game will launch, 7th October.. So now with all this info, when could the possible release be of the demo?

I'm hoping for an bold move and releasing it short after gamescom.
Could be that they're building up slowly to show us the game. First we can read, reflect, think about it, get excited and sceptic. Then they show us the game in motion, real 5on5 gameplay or just a trailer, and from there, feed the community with enough info. Then release the demo and let us dig in and feel the game for our selves.

The Live Team knows that in order for Live 15 to sell well, is to let the players feel the game, Live 14 sold because of the same tactic. We'll get a demo similar to Live 14's.


And man I'm excited to try it! I'm going to support Live in this journey, cause if this could in a year or two get to a point where it's a great ball game, then why not take the chance and support it. (I'm done with the other game) The Live Team obviously have the right vision on how a sim hoop game should play, if you ask me. And I'd rather support a good vision and see where it goes, then not.

My "two" cents....

You know Live sold poorly right? Like...really, really poorly.

Some people don't realize that this game sold under 200,000 units combined on both next gen consoles. How long will Peter Moore give us that we are here for the long haul talk while seeing those type of numbers on a year to year basis? Im not buying it with the way they are micro managing this game.

I know, but the sales they got was either from hardcore fans or people who played the demo and decided to give it a chance. Im part of the last group.

Yep, and when I went online in Live 14 there were 100 people online, if less on Xbox One. It's a very small group who played the game on both consoles. Hopefully they'll win more people over this year.

I feel like EA is ignoring us

You still bought it.

Re: NBA Live 15 Hands-On Impressions (MMGN)

They aren't ignoring the community, nor is it the same situation with last year. Be patient. There's still plenty of time for them to show their cards and win over consumers. Regardless of what some members of the community think, they aren't required to show anything yet.

Do I wish they would? Of course. Will they? When they're ready I guess.

The few hands on impressions from Gamescom were largely positive, and pointed towards an NBA LIVE 10 feel.

That makes sense because they have a good team in place, for a full development cycle. They have guys who have worked together before, and know how to work together on the team.

The game will be coming out, we will get info, and NBA LIVE 16, WILL be coming out. They've stated it numerous times. Gameplay and graphics are this year, modes etc next year and moving forward.
