NBA Live 15 Hands-On Impressions (GameTrailers)

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

No clipping? Interesting.

To all Bball makers of the world.(Both games)
As much as I like Damian Lillard, he is not a high flying dunker. He is no Westbrooke or D Rose. Not saying he cant dunk but he shouldnt be flying over Centers(McGee) or any crowd of defenders.

And Leonard is way to happy in that video(jk). Very unrealistic.

No clipping though. What if this is actually true. Would be a nice base for next year in Live 16. Just dont go the Elite route.

Two Words..

STICK. SKILL.

It seems like it's back and that's all I've really asked for, I could see glimpses of it last year just watching the game but now it seems like it's branched out and much better now that this is a much better game. I Like how many times they mentioned that when something went wrong they felt like it was there fault, that's what it's about, it should be on you and not because you got jipped by an animation or something. Can't Wait to play myself. And Lastly...

That Damian Lillard Jumpshot is just nuts, too Perfect lol

See that wrist snap. OMGoodness

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

I really loved the wrist snap and oddly enough the individual fingers. This game has really good "hand models" I didn't think I would say that about a bball game

A minor complaint about some posters. This is a PREview or an impression, not a review. A review is what comes out once a game is released and a score is given for the game.

As for this impressions from the video I am really liking what I hear. The way it sounds 2K is going to be the game for the hardcore sim players while Live will be the game for those who want a fun, yet authentic game of basketball. It sounds like Live is finding its groove again and will finally be releasing a game worthy of the Live name, something that was last done with Live 10 and was missing for years before. Looking forward to giving this game a go when the time comes, hopefully there will be a demo release.

It's true though, the hands look good...haha

Also, Dame Lill's shot was spot on last year as well, they probably didn't even have to capture it, lol

Nice to hear these guys enjoyed it and that the word "fun" kept coming up.

Watch the video, at 1:23, you'll see a small example of the physics system, Lebrons leg gets bumped causing a minor stumble, falling off balance.

You'll see some altered layups and shots too.

You hear them talking about the game not being a dunk fest due to the collisions and contact.

I still go back to the "feel it" though.

so the fifa or madden type collision system minus the weird moments?

[poloelite]

I will give this a try, the same way I did 14. After playing 14 I saw no reason for anything in that game to be used as a base for a next gen bball game except the ESPN presentation. With 15, it looks like they attempted to polish up 14, which isn't a great recipe for a next gen bball game. I give all bball games a try, but a lot of the things they're trying to get right seem strange for a company who has been in the bball game industry for 25 years. If I grade what we've seen thus far against 14, it's night and day almost. If I grade what we've seen against next gen expectations, or even if it's worth $60 right now, then I honestly have to say they're still failing. A $20 straight to download version and building on community feedback could be a way to go. To me, attempting to look and feel like a game from 5 years ago isn't a recipe for success.

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

I think it's much more accurate, better tuned. No flying in the air 20 ft on a collision

[Lewistech504]

They hit the nail on the head when they said they "feel" good playing it. If you don't get a stop, you feel like it's your fault. If you foul someone, you feel like you fouled them. If you hit a big shot, yep, all you. It's funny, but once you get your hands on it, you'll see it.

They also touched on how fun it is, realistic pace, and a lot of depth. Glad guys get to see a little more info and hands on.

Looks like I'll have 2 basketball games this year

[clipperfan811]

Definitely looks promising. It's pretty obvious from the clips that graphically and animation wise it's a big jump from last years game. It was interesting to hear about the crowd atmosphere, being that people rave about how Live 10 had that so right. I'd love to see some gameplay with plays being run.

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

Live has always been my hoop game of choice, because it feels more authentic than any other NBA game, IMO. Even though Live 14 was a little stiff it still played a more authentic game of basketball than the competition, IMO.

This vid blew me away on how much more fluid it looks compared to 14. The animations look amazing. Man I can't wait to get my hands on this one.

Thanks for the vid.

Didn't you already say you're skipping "the competition" this year? There is literally no reason to bring it up here...

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

Was the poster dunk that Dame L. did the same one Andrew Wiggins did in the trailer? Hopefully It's not something we see too often...

It's a nasty dunk but not one we should see too often...esp from Dame...

If I did it wasn't in this thread. Anyway who cares, I'm way too excited.
