    NBA Live 15 Is Already Showing Improvement Post-Release


    When NBA Live 15 hit retail shelves a few weeks back, the expectations from the community ranged anywhere from extremely skeptical to extremely optimistic, and rightfully so. The marketing of NBA Live 15, or lack thereof, forced the Live community to either have faith in developer rhetoric or to simply draw upon their own conclusion as to the level of quality of this year’s iteration.

    Upon finishing the review of the game, in which I noted multiple problem areas with Live ’15, my ultimate goal was to continue spending time with the title and see how the issues would affect its replay value. Throughout the review process I also noted how much fun the game was, even with its issues, but would that continue?

    Luckily for me, and hopefully for the majority of others who purchased Live 15, the answer is yes.

    Great read, I am enjoying it so far but they need to patch some of these bugs on the PS4, like the missing half and post game show. I'm excited to see what kind of additions we get via patch this year (facescans, jerseys, etc.).

      Late game AI. If it gets fixed, I buy it. If not, I'm buying 2K14 on Black Friday

          Great read.The lack of player specific Play calling, off ball movement, a serviceable post game, late game a.i, missing contextual animations, lack of signature animations,too many players playing similar, lack of roster editing, and lack of depth in modes are my problems with the game. Still really fun, looks great, ultimate team is awesome? and on ball defense ad rotations are really good ( maybe a little too good from the cpu). Definitely can't wait for next year and te year after to see if they can really offer a legit option over 2k.

              Dont know why Im so interested in how Live is. I guess Im not that interested because cuz I havent downloaded the demo. But I believe there is a correlation between Live improving and 2K improving. Oh how I wish there were two options in football and baseball....

                Live is fun. I dont know what it is about the game, but I just get lost in it. Whereas, with the other game, it can tend to feel like a chore to play at times. Once they fix the halftime/post game bug on PS4, this game will be perfect for me.

                  Live is certainly improving with these updates...whatever they are. It's definitely a much better game than it was day one.



                  The A.I going brain dead at the end of games eliminates any desire I have to get fully invested besides a quick game here and there though...hopefully it's fixed soon...

                    "Now it’s contingent upon the developers and POWERS-THAT-BE at EA to let it continue down said path." That is the most important statement. If it wasn't for the Powers that be that messed it up after Live 10. Mike Wang may still be at EA and both games would be must haves. With that said. Devs, keep up the good work. There is a solid foundation now....

                      I still don't have any replays or half time shows, in any game mode, on my PS4.

                        They need to fix how the jump ball always goes to the point guard and is not organic at all

                          You nailed every point you made. I 100% agree.

                            Two IMPORTANT things to fix:
                            - Collision in the paint
                            - Late game AI.

                              Also, many times the guys who are about to jump, aren't even looking at the ball, but looking away.
                              My Specs:

                              ZX Spectrum
                              CPU: Z80 @ 3.5 MHz
                              GPU: Monochrome display
                              RAM: 48 KB
                              OS: Sinclair BASIC
