    Defensive Improvements in NBA Live 15 with New Video

    I've always wanted for Live to get back on top. Live 95 was the game that got me hooked on basketball games. Competition is great. Can't wait to play and make my annual Hoops game purchase accordingly.

    I would love nothing more than to have 5 choices. NBA Jam, Live, 2K, Inside Drive, etc.

      As much as I enjoy 2K15, now, still really lookin forward to see how Live 15 shapes up. Wondering if the demo will make me wanna time warp back to when I used to buy both Live and 2K almost every yr. Will see...

          The video looks great, but all I kept looking at were the shoes! Oh my goodness, the shoes are amazing.

            Looks a lot like last years but smoothed out a little more

              Probably because the game doesn't actually look that way. Notice how the Live 14 clips are all shown from boring, static angles more representative of game play where you can really see the animation issues. The Live 15 shots are all mostly glamour close ups with rapid changes in cinematic angles and feet are rarely shown except when slowed down. There's quite a bit of dressing up here, just as there was for Live 14.

              That said I'm pretty sure the game will look a whole lot better than last year's release.

                Those defensive improvements look really good. Anyway we will see if this game actually looks like this because the flood gates will open up in 5 more days.

                  Say, do players in Madden 15 don't look as detailed when you zoom in on the players in the instant replay camera? Most people nowadays take pictures of the players and tweet them to the Madden twitter account.



                  Like this picture for example.

                    I'm sure Live will good as good up close as the pictures we've seen....I never understood why EA's games don't look as good in motion though...same goes for NHL & Madden...

                      I really hope these improvements work as advertised online . 1 on 1 on ball defense has been lacking in recent BBall titles Online

This exact same issue was in 2K14 and didn't get fixed. The quick play button Live is implementing should be just fine.
                        From what I've heard live 's quick play button created motion ( cuts, screens, ect) which is basically like choosing when you want freelance movement to happen. 2k smart play does save a lot of time when wanting to call a set play and works really well for me with the mavs and could improve live's play calling. They atleast should be able to have auto play calling. It was just a suggestion.

                          From my experience, 2K Smart play does not work after you try to call it when you cross half-court. It makes absolutely no sense for Live try to emulate a play-call feature from another company who's feature is inconsistent and broken. Live will be fine with the direction they're taking, especially if it differs from 2K.

                            As someone who followed Live 14 much like I'm following Live 15 I can say at no point did I think Live 14 was going to be a good game. There weren't enough camera angles in the world to hide the flaws I saw from the very beginning. Again if they can dress Live 15 up enough to look as impressive as it has that still doesn't answer why they've failed to do so. Again there hasn't been a ton of vids, but this certainly isn't the only official release from EA either.

                              Remember last year when they released raw gameplay footage, pretty much everyone laughed at the game. I guess they are trying to avoid that this year. This tells me they are not confident in their product.

                                That's your opinion and I respect that. In regards to your problems with art play I guess make sure you hold down l1 or lb for atleast 1 second. I use set plays a lot and that is why I love 2k on offense. I would like live to have the same depth their.
