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

    I finally traded Live in - I couldn't take it anymore. I kept hoping we'd see a major patch (see 2K) or that Synergy/ratings would actually work, but they don't. I can't justify wasting the limited time I have to play video games on another year of "potential."

    Fool me once, shame on you. Fool me twice, shame on me. I will not purchasing Live next year.

        I've had games where I should've won but it didn't get recorded ? I've had games where I should've lost but it didn't get recorded ?

        I swear it switches from day to day lol.

        I've gotten wins sometimes after the 1st quarter, and losses right at the end when people quit.

        Lately though, I've been getting losses for every little thing.

            Wow anyone noticing how much better the game is playing or is just me?

            Melo and Durant actually missing open 3's. Post defense is waaaay better, though there is still some awkward animations, better block detections, I was flying in for a dunk but my player actually adjusted because Melo was tryna defend it. Playing defense is way more enjoyable.

              Seems like the exploit of choice these days is to go into the post up position with anyone with a high dunk or contact shot rating, and then immediately spin off and go into a power dunk. It works every time.

              I figured out a counter to it on the fly, and managed to come from about 12 down, to beating the idiot in overtime.

              When you see this being done to you,you must play on ball defense and as soon as you see the nerd put his guy into the back down position, back away and shade him opposite his ball hand. He'll smack right into you, and if you have a good onball defender, he'll force the ballhandler to pick up his dribble. Worst case scenario, if he is persistent in trying to force it, you'll get some contact misses, blocks and charge calls.

              These gamer nerds are something else
              I played someone who pulled this bs last night. Had Melo at PG and it was his go to move. On defense, he would switch zones from 2-3 to 3-2 while roaming with Melo waiting to cherry pick. Not to mention that strategy allowed him to get passing lane steals even if I wasn't forcing the pass. Pissed me off because that's some 2K cheese that people use.

                  US here. Had some lag in one game in the 2nd Qtr last night. But then it was fine. Played about 10 games online. Was smooth overall

                    Anyone notice how all the high ranked players with good records chuck about 30-40 3s a game and consistently shoot 50-60% from 3 no matter the pressure? This game is straight cheddar online. I can leave good post players like Big Al, Aldridge and Randolph open because most of my opponents are chucking because of the crazy percentages they can get.

                      Never have anyone getting those kind of 3 point % on me online

                        Nobody wanted this game to be great. I played it out of the box and thought it was more FUN than 2K. I thought it was great. The only major problem I saw was the animations for post play.

                        I saw a lot of little issues but a lot of potential.

                        But the patch ruined this game in opinion.

                        Instead of shooting 60% on average people shoot like 40%. Late game ai is still present. They did not address any of the post so again the post looks so ugly that its unplayable. as a kings fan I can play with Demarcus Cousins and do well with Cousins but it looks so terrible that I won't play in the post.

                        Shooting percentages are ridiculous now. They are completely random. I was playing online against the Warriors yesterday. Stephen Curry was missing countless open 3s. He was missing everything. We had a total of like 8 points in the 1st quarter (both teams). Missing tons of open shots.

                        More shots were going in that were bad than good. It was acomplete roll of the dice.

                        Shooting percentages needed to be tweaked, especially for offline play. But before, great releases went in about 70% of the time. Late releases went in about 20% of the time. Slightly late was like 30% ish. it all averaged oaveragedut. If you played a great game you could shoot great percentages. That's what made this very unique of a game. It wasn't a roll of the dice. it wasnt just based on your ability to get a good shot but you had to have the ability to make the shot too.

                        They took all control from the user. Shots go in at random with a edge to those who put themselves in a good position.

                        The shot grades seem completely broken and random.

                        How can they fix the game?

                        Add a ton of new post animations. Without that half of offense is broken.

                        Fix late game a.I.

                        Don't revert back to the old shooting. And don't revert back to the old percentages either. It should be in between. Put percentages higher than now but lower than before. A better mix of players having more control while still being realistic.

                        Of course next year they needed face scanning, better modes, etc.

                        But the post thing and in my mind percentages are even worse than before. So probably going to shelf it. Always rooting for Live but it's way too bad. This coming from someone who wanted it to succeed and enjoyed the potential of it early on. But it hasn't gotten better, just made different problems in my opinion

                          Quick question. Just picked up my Xbox and Live 15 and I'm having a blast. I feel with the new patch that it plays a better game of basketball than 2K (I can't believe I'm even writing that). When a team comes from behind I definitely know it was from mistakes I've made on the floor and not some mysterious unseen force that seems to be guiding comebacks.

                          My question is this... I've been using Tomba's suggestions for settings for the game but it got me wondering about something. I was playing Knicks v Suns yesterday, and after a couple of bad decisions on my part the Knicks took a lead and after a bad decision on my part, they stole the ball with 18 seconds left. Rather than trying to run out the clock the Knicks went into their offensive set and started to run a play, and before I could foul the ball handler, they jacked up a shot and I got the rebound.

                          This got me thinking, and I've heard some people complain about late game clock management. Is it possible clock management goes out the window when the accelerated clock is in use? Is this something that might be fixable by turning off accelerated clock?

                              12/23? Is it always for a future date like that?

                              I didn't get that when I booted this morning, I got a message about the server being down for maintenance though...

                              any detail on what new jerseys they added?
