    Defensive Improvements in NBA Live 15 with New Video

    EA Sports has posted another NBA Live 15 video today showing off the defensive improvements in the game. They also posted some additional details a new blog. It doesn't appear as though many changes were made at all to the defensive adjustments at first glance, I'd have to pull up NBA Live 14 to be sure, but the video does show improvement.

    UPDATE: All of the defensive adjustments are the same as NBA Live 14, I just pulled it up to be sure. With that said, you can see some improvements from the defense in the video, just wished they would have showed some real 5 on 5 gameplay.

    If you missed the offensive improvements video, you can view it here.

    Watch the video, read the blog and post your thoughts.

      Other than not having the video available. There's a lot of in depth defensive settings and strategy's. Who knows this could make up for sliders on the defensive side of the ball too?!

        If they nailed it correctly, theoretically it could.

        Individual defensive assignments could potentially mask "overall" defensive sliders in the sense that they're specific and not global.

        Would love to see something added related to individual Faceguarding, Boxing Out on a Field Goal Attempt, Release on a Field Goal Attempt, etc.

        That could possibly help in areas like defensive rebounding as opposed to leaving it up to a slider to correct.

                Well I honestly didn't get into last years Live. But the keyword of the blog is "Improvements" so I'm assuming a majority of new tweaks.

                  more like the stuff we had last year may actually work this year.

                    Yup!!! Not really much change in the menus options from last year, but hopefully when we play the game, we can see if they truly work. Most of the changes seem to be in the A.I.

                      nothing new here, I have a question tho. what is hard edge? I've always wandered. I know show is when you flash as if you're trapping but then you recover to your man, but what is hard edge?

                          Liked the contextual on ball animations . Hopefully if a user chooses to dribble with a weak ball handler and I can crowd properly without sliding

                            Animations look really good especially the one where D. Will was forced to pick his dribble up.

                              This is NICE.

                              That big showing on the pick was awesome...haven't seen that in a NBA game yet.

                              They've addressed my 3 biggest defensive concerns...very happy about that..love the ball tracking and help defense...
