Nahh. I'm having a blast. Put 30 hours in since launch. Certainly not bored

Same here, I remember not even putting 5 hours into 'the other game' last year. But this year, I can't get enough of Live 15. I just started my Rising Star last night after wrenching myself away from Ultimate Team, and I'm torn as to what to play at this point. Haven't even touched Dynasty yet but I'm looking forward to it. Been having GREAT games as of late, and actually feeling that if I lose, it's because of poor choices, not because I'm getting cheated out of it.

I'm not going to lie, I was frustrated when I first started playing, but with the updates (and Tomba's fantastic settings), I just can't stop playing it. Now of course I want them to fix the Halftime show and it would be nice to see them put a ton of new jerseys into the next major update. But the amount of improvement from day one to now has been nothing short of astounding.

I'm playing on the PS4 and I'm loving the game. Although, I would like to see a fix for steals, it's way too easy to get them. I feel like I'm cheating it happens so much.

I disagree with this one. I don't play with the computer much, but I only seem to get steaks when someone puts the ball right in front of me. Besides that I don't get many steaks at all. I like how when dribblers aren't careful you can steal the ball.

On the.... other game.... It's so random. You press x and steal animations come at random. I find that the easy steals might need to be tweaked but people who don't guard the ball while dribbling need to pay for it.

I think many times even in the real NBA some drives are unstoppable. If you give someone the free space nothing can stop them. So I don't think Live needs to get rid of the animations that are "unstoppable".

I think they need to refine it.

My issues so far are:

1: Horrible animations for rebounding, all post moves.
2: Very few signature shots.
3: No mid range game. It's a lot harder to get open mid range jumpers.
4: I love how Live rewards shot timing. If it's a great release you make like 70%. You might make 35% on slightly early shots, and you might make ight 10% on the rest. It averages out well. But shot timing seems inconsistent. The same player could have different shot timing from my experience. One possession I can hold a little longer, the next I have to let go immediately. That needs adjusting.
5: late game a.i. not from experience, just what I read.
6: Too many unstoppable cheese animations
7: Rudy Gays face

Things I love:

1: I love the defensive responsiveness. Steals and blocks matter (unless there is an unstoppable animation)

2: Dribbling is great. Especially dribbling up the court

3: Game speed is great. People should get penalized more for playing way too quick.. But players play quick but you can also slow down.

4: Great crowd reactions. They actually clap and react.

5: I love the commentary. I play with the same team. So even though the other game has better commentary I love the fresh voices, and I love when they go silent. Because the crowd is great.

6: Game doesn't play boring. Guessing it's the crowd that makes it exciting.

7: Post game wrap up: awesome. Highlights my second chance points when it's clearly what won me the game. It's really accurate. Love how it really gives good insight into what actually happened.


I love the game. If they patch in major animations, and fix bugs this game can really compete

Also what are tombas settings? And if they make it play so much better they should patch them into the automatic settings

Does it feel like you have a bag of tricks at your disposal with this game? I assume it does, but just want to make sure.

That's one thing I loved about Live 10. I had a whole gang of tricks I could use to get a quality shot. I never had that sort of trickery with any other basketball video game, except Live 10 and NBA 2K8.

I agree with it.
But, am I only one who care about point guard fatigue issue? Their fatigue is almost not
reduced during the entire match without substitution, so no need to change them.
I posted this issue several times, but it seems no one cares about it. very weired..

I haven't been able to play for a while but has team and player differentiation improved any?

I think steals need to be patched. It's way too easy to steal the ball against the CPU. The dribbler will have the ball so far out that a simple tap will jar the handle loose. I do get a few reach in calls but I get a solid 4-6 steals a game.

For those playing TOMBA settings, did you put every coach's coach option to the one he said? How does the CPU play? I actually only did it for my coach

Steals do not need to be patched. AI lazy dribbling is the issue that needs to be addressed.

I like the easy steals. I don't like how the computer doesn't react to your positioning and dribble away from you. They just make it too easy to steal. Maybe they should adjust sliders for steals in player vs cpu games. I just like how I can use it against user players if they just leave the ball out there

Again, the guy who did the first review was bang on about live 15!!!!!!!

At times live 15 feels great and other times Ifeel like iI'm playing live 14 lol

Was playing last night and the game was plating akot different from the day before lol

Players were taking wide open shots instead of waiting for me to to contest

The CPU was moving the ball around the pperimeter and dumping into the post like real life

Passes were were being thrown to the guy cutting back door

Was playing against the rockets and I loved how the commentators talked about their hot start

Really wished you could contest jumpers without being called for some bogus fouls

Alright. I just ordered the game on eBay for $38. Can't wait for it to come in. Looking forward to learning the game and playing something different
