    NBA Live 16 Will Have Sliders, New Mode to be Announced at Gamescom and More


    Sean Oโ€™Brien, Executive Producer of NBA Live 16 has confirmed sliders will finally be in the game this year and the new game mode will be announced at Gamescom in early August.

    Those were just a couple of notes from his recent Q&A on the official NBA Live Twitter feed. Below are the questions and answers that were revealed on the feed. Another Q&A is scheduled for later today.

    How is player "explosiveness" handled this year, for players with a quick first step?

    Ratings and signature animation packages provide the differentiation you're looking for.

    Signature jumpshots for created and non created players?

    Yessir!

    When will the new mode be announced?

    At Gamescom!

    Will there be sliders and edit player?

    Yes, we're finally giving you guys sliders.

    Are we able to scan multiple faces into the game and create our custom roster?

    Yup, you can have up to 5 scanned heads In The Game at once. Player customization is greatly improved across all game modes.

    What are the biggest changes to Live 16?

    Biggest jump you'll see is in gameplay... control and animation quality. And what's coming at Gamescom.

    Are there more game modes coming for Live 16?

    Yes.

    Catch n Go game improved? It was noticeably improved in 15, hopefully it's more precise in 16.

    Yes. Catch-and-shoot as well. Noticeable improvements. Passing/catching in general is night and day.

    Any changes to the arena sounds / atmosphere?

    Both regular season and Playoffs atmosphere, including #NBAFinals, are greatly improved. Commentary too.

    Will we be able to block dunks or are they still one unstoppable animation?

    You can absolutely block dunks now. We'll start posting some of those for you to see later in the summer.

    Paint cheese was in full effect last year, I know yall took care of that right??

    Yep. The paint is a cheese-free zone now.

    Will gameplay/animations be a lot more smoother this year?

    YES!!

    How do you plan on achieving that realism from each NBA player in the league in #NBALIVE16?

    Through improved player likeness, AI and animation.

    Will facescan HD make use of PlayStation Camera and Microsoft Kinect or smartphone only?

    iOS and Android smart phones only. The goal was to maximize convenience and user experience.

    What improvements have been made on the defensive side of the ball?

    Huge jump in AI, on-ball control, and some really cool improvements away from the ball as well.

    Will they be signature jumpshots available in rising star?

    Yes. Customization, both in how you look and how you play, will be available in Rising Star Mode.

        Yes! This is a really big addition for Live.

        Also sounds like they've looked into the points in the paint issue from last year. If that's cleaned up and we can actually hit mid-range/3-point shots without needing 5 feet of space, that will really go a long way to improving the gameplay.

            Like the sliders addition. Disappointed that he didnt answer about editing players which probably means thats not in the game.

                Pretty much guaranteed player editing if we can change jump shots for non created players.. Looks like all editing we usually have is in game( create a player, edit current players) hopefully we can make trades, cuts, sign free agents and change the minute rotations and maybe edit contracts?? Although if they don't have a way to share online... It's kinda a bummer

                    Or it's similar to NHL where you can edit players, but there's no ability to share the edits/roster.

                      Yea it seems as if he wanted to tip toe around the edit player question as much as possible without letting the cat out the bag possibly waiting for a big announcement about it later, but there was enough hints to see that edit player is back in some way, which is a big plus for me.

                          I'd still like to see in-game saves. I play full quarters, but it is rare I get a full hour-and-a-half to play straight through.

                            I'd hold of your expectations for now. This looks and sounds good but there is stI'll a lot for Live to prove. We still need to see how gameplay looks during an actual game (oppose to quick clips in a trailer) and more importantly feel the changes.

                            We also need to see what 2k is bringing to the table. We can't assume 2k will remain stagnant as Live progresses. Don't get me wrong I love everything from Live 16 so far. This is the most excited I've been for Live in ages. But I want to see what 2k has planned before I get overly excited for Live.
