NBA Live 16 Cover Athlete Russell Westbrook - Trailer, Screenshots and Some Features

[WaddupCouzin]

The last time I remember Live having information this early was like Live 10, they had playable versions of that Game like everywhere! That's a good sign for them.

They (EA) scream confidence every year...then there's some kind of letter or statement after release apologizing for not being up to par. I really can't get excited for little things like this. I do expect the game to look and play better, but I will not be able to get a good feel for how it truly is until we get to see 5 on 5 in motion. I'm really hoping I can once again purchase two basketball games. Smart money has not allowed me to do that since Live 10. Hoping for the best, and even though they're so far behind, they need to really shorten the gap and compete hard. Nice screens, the dunk, not so much.

Re: Russell Westbrook to Grace Cover of NBA LIVE 16 with Trailer

The most important news that came our of this is that live 16 is.......

1) being shown during the e3 presser
2) they will actually release info/game features at e3

And 3).......

Live 16 will actually be playable at e3...not shown behind some closed door meeting room where only WTF and Fernando know the secret handshake to get in (joking guys...lol). Live being shown this early and being playable is HUGE NEWS!!

Yes, maybe I should've specified, but only in interviews, lol. When talking about the game for the past two years, even more, we've seen multiple interviews of them saying just how great the game is, without us seeing it for ourselves. My first statement was actually a sarcastic one. EA is very good at talking and not showing, or showing tiny bits and pieces.

Hmmm....wanna get excited about Live again. But when the cover athlete doesn't even have the same haircut in game as he does during mo-cap.....However this is year 3 of their "plan" so I'll give them one last chance. All I want is smoother animations and full player editing please 😐

Hopefully they add enough stuff to the game and its modes to be on par with 2k. Getting tired of the way 2k plays, but sometimes I take for granted all of the options that it has in comparison to Live.

Like the cover choice and like how the skin tone looks, at least RWB so far doesn't look ashy like in the past...that's an improvement, actually looks closer to what I've seen from VC's game.

Can't say much about this trailer to be honest because it was nothing. I'd rather see his pull up J, and the way he dunks IRL was not what they showed lol. They always use that same angle, First Melo then Pierce and now RWB. What do they have an animation loop for the same one handed dunk in the same camera angle?

Other than that like any other EA game its wait and see, but hopefully they got it together this time so I can have 2 bball games.

Meh, player movement looks similar to 15. On a positive note, seems like Westbrooks arms are proportionate now, not as long as they are in 15.

Skin tone looks better, but its the same issue from my QA days on Live that I just keep seeing... meh.

Graphically it looks fantastic. They've improved the lighting from what I see, colors seems more vivid compared to the washed look on Live 15; also it seems like they fixed the jersey collars which were huge and too pronounced. Can't say much about what was in the trailer besides the stiff dunk.
