Still try Superstar, even if you aren't winning on All-Star. I just want to see if people think the flow of the game is better. I just had a crazy back and forth game against the Clippers. Still no alley oops, but I saw several pull up jumpers off of the fast break. Blake was being Blake of last night, hitting everything he shot. DeAndre only had 6 shot attempts, no post up attempts I don't think.

If nothing else, watch the first quarter (6 minutes)

No idea. Needs to be done.

If they update a player model will it carry through to your dynasty. I was thinking of playing with the Magic but Payton looks terrible.

OH, and get this.. I stepped out of bounds twice with Lebron, and once with Kyrie this game. It is possible

I'm nearly 100% positive that it will, as it'll replace the current model with the new one.

Havent been able to play much but played 2 games thia morning.

Dallas vs pelicans(cpu)
Port vs Sac(cpu)

Only played the first half on superstar with 12min quarters.

Was blowing both teams out

Just out of curiosity, try being the Pelicans and kings and replaying those 2 match ups. See if the same thing happens.

Im assuming you got pushed out? I literally just scaled the sideline with Jrue Holiday and nothing happened, lol

Playing NOH vs GS right now...actually does feel pretty good on SS...up 9-2 ATM

One other thing "new" I saw last night. Now granted, since the data patch I just played 1 full game and some of the new big moments...

Your cpu players will do put backs on thier own. I appreciate this.

I missed twice in the full game from the low post and it was gathered on the backside and a lay up executed one time, next was a short push tip in without collecting it.

Had not seen either of those happen previously. Made it seem like I was playing on a team and not being forced to control all 5 to get something done.

Didn't get pushed out. On one, I tried to cut back quickly, my foot traveled across the line, other, Kyrie came up w loose ball and started down court, stepped out.

Haven't played on SS since the update yesterday...feels pretty good all around....the CPU is pretty ambitious and showing off some new stuff...and that isn't always in their favor, lol

[WTF]

Re: NBA Live 15 and First In-Game Update Available Today, Post Your Impressions

Yeah, they sometimes like to show off. But I think shooting, movement, passing, basically everything feels better on SS. I played AS all the time in earlier builds, but I think SS is where it's at. Everything feels more organic.

Oh, also, I can confirm that new player models WILL carry over into existing Dynasty's. I had an old Dynasty that I loaded up, and of course the new Kyrie head is there.

EA going to have to patch in more offensive coach options to better fine tune this game. As it is now, it is way too basic. Been playing on SS since release day, SS makes the CPU AI more aggressive far as scoring goes, but some times they make the CPU aggressive with the wrong players and have some players attempt things out of their skill set.

I would also say PGs in this game block too many lay ups and shots in the paint. Even those with block shots ratings in the 40s, they are blocking too many shots. Same thing with on ball defense, defenders with low on ball defense rating are sticking to you way too good.

I would like them to increase the mid range game. From what I noticed the CPU still get the bulk of their points in the paint. If they broaden the coach options for offense and let the USER prioritize plays in the playbook for the CPU, this game would be 20 times better.

Don't like the CPU coach for the USER auto changes your settings to BS settings that make no sense. I noticed this late last night when I was playing the Rockets. I had guard Dwight on ball and off ball as tight. Then the Rockets went on a run 3 minutes later with Dwight non stop. I called another time out to see what was up with that. I looked and the Coach changed guard Dwight on ball and off ball as loose. They did the same thing with Harden.

I was like no wonder they were able to go on a run, my own damn coach changed my defensive settings. I feel as though they change it on offense too. Because there are many times in the second half it seems like crash boards no longer works for your team. And those are usually the times where the CPU wants to get back in the game.

This could all be attributed to a bit of placebo effect as we don't actually know what this last update did. BUT the game felt different enough to be noticeable in the two games I played. One of the things that felt different was a few more shots made with yellow guarded meters and one of the things that looked different was a lot more variety in how the ball went in the net. Not all shots were nothing but net.

I'd love to see them add more bank shots around the hoop and lower trajectories that result in more back-rim-and-in type of buckets around the net. But regardless, this update resulted in a tangible difference and if all of the updates have these sort of incremental jumps, we could have a great game by the end of the year.

Here's the full game I played against the Clippers in Youtube format. Oh, I blew past CP3 with Kyrie using a quick cross.
