I'm sure we'd all be surprised at the gamers that might want it turned off, the point is there are gamers out there that prefer NBA Live play like NBA Live, not real basketball. It doesn't take a lot of imagination to consider some casual gamer getting pissed because a player on their team or a User opponents team, flashes the paint or is just running around the court in general on their own. Believe me some gamers see stuff like that as "the game playing for you" and "video games are meant to be played not watched".

I couldn't careless about that POV though, as long as they provide options and settings to get the most realistic game play possible.

I see no harm on having such option, to turn it off ... I remember that there was a thread last year, on the competing title section

Spoiler

and prior to last year release, about off ball movement and there were plenty of users asking for no off ball movement at all ... I recall Da-Czar, late in the dev cycle, letting the devs know this and that they even implemented a feature to have off ball movement by context, no off ball movement at all, etc ... I am certaint because I suggested him about making it options like, so users could decide which form of basketball suit them best ... thus it only applyed to users teams and not to all ... wish it was and on a per team bases, so I could try and further differentiate good offenses from bad.

What I dont understand tho, is why is off by default (I would like it on and to me, seems more in line with what we see on the tv) ... then again, take my comment as a grain of salt within a huge cube of water, as didnt played Live 14.

In essence, never underestimate the power of giving more options to users, the implications in terms of appealing to a broaden target are inmense.

I think a lot of users here on OS are so used to being forced to play the game of basketball a certain way after so many years of only having a single title to choose from. NBA Live will, and has always, displayed the game in a completely different manner than the other title. With that being said, I think some people will be pleasantly surprised when they get a chance to try this game, and if they make an attempt at being good at it.

I liked live 14 because it felt like I could make decisions I would actually make on a basketball court to get the results I wanted. It just didn't look natural because of the lack of animation technology. From a purely basketball standpoint this game has a lot of promise. I can't even take a lot of the users on this site seriously anymore.

If you're suggesting you can't make decisions and get the results you want with the other game then you must be tripping.

Smh. Comments like that is what I can't take seriously. It's almost insulting people's intelligence.

Were all (for the most part) adults who have varying degrees of basketball knowledge and experience. I don't care how much I play a particular video game...I know the game of basketball...and I'll still be pretty good at it when I turn off my console and lace up my actual sneakers...

Live isn't going over people's heads here because it's THAT deep and guys dont know the sport...people just don't like what they see. Some do, and that's great as well...

Turning off people moving in organized basketball is laugable as an option, especially at the pro level.

Some people will defend anything and its a shame

I see your point. I guess guys who literally run a play every time down court might use it too....I don't know..

but I agree, they should probably leave auto motion on by default...all the work they did on off ball movement you'd think they'd want to show it off...

Considering the explanations offered as to why this option would be understandable, I'm surprised that's seen as defending the game. I know you've been around OS and sports video games in general long enough to have seen the type of POV towards sports games that would merit an option like this.

IMO, it's almost accustomed to saying why have a simulation or hardcore option in any sports game that's supposed to be as realistic as possible anyway. Having this option isn't much different, imo and again I'd rather have the option than forcing gamers to play the game one way or the other.

Considering the amount of people that consider sliders a must so people can play how they want it's very surprising the attitude some or taking toward this option if that's truly the explanation.

They're doing that too so it doesn't matter.

There is always something this game is doing that nobody asked for but what they do ask for seems like a foreign object but that's another story I don't care to get into.

It's been said enough already and please
da throne let the sliders thing go man. You've been on here for 2 days straight with that and I honestly don't care to see anymore dissertations on it. Like I said before just agree to disagree and move on.

watched the video again and I still see a lot of live 14 which makes me wonder how much time was spent on gp.

I'm sure they spent a lot of time on game play, adding animations, the problem is, are they making sure each animation is done properly. That Kobe Bryant travel move by George Hill is the kind of thing I'm talking about.

When you add animations to a game, can't you tune it in a way where it's done properly so it doesn't look awkward? Or are they just putting it in, just to say it's in there.

Either way, them boys have a lot of work to do, and all I'm hearing is talk!!

1. Player movement option is silly.
2. If it's in there, why the world isn't it on by default??

Why is it the person with the differing opinion has to be the one who has "been on here for 2 days straight with that" as if I was discussing the topic by myself?

My point is if options are good for the game why is this bad. You guys lecture me on how people should have the option to play how they want to(which I never disagreed with) and than bash this because nobody should want to play this way. Which is it?

Re: NBA Live 15 Gameplay Videos (Instagram)

Can someone answer these two questions..

1. Why did George Hill dribbling with his right hand past Westbrook when Westbrook is on his right side?
2. How many steps did Hill take in that paint? 4-6?

Don't know about number 2 but I suspect the game doesn't take into consideration of the position of the defender in relation to which hand the ball handler would likely use to get past him. For what it's worth I've never seen any game deal with this sort of thing well.

Also of note is that this is all user controlled
