NBA Live 16 Gameplay Video (IGN)

Re: NBA Live 16 Gameplay Video (IGN)

I can already say this game is improved...That jumper was crazy fluid. the way you can come out of dribble move is way more controllable, floater looked nice. Bounce passing off the pick n roll, looked way better cause of the spacing.

I see some of the same celebrations but:

*I REALLY, REALLY HOPE THEY TOOK OUT THAT CLAP DANCE AFTER AN AND1. One of the most annoying celebrations in the history of videos game lol.

Also, they got the All IN CLE shirts in the stands

Edit:

Some of the dribbles are too slow, but that may just be the animations, they really got the lighting down pat this year, I'm watching this on my 50 inch off my Xbox One and it looks amazing

live is one of those games i have to get my hands on. this build looked less robotic then the current build. that dribble hand off was a nice addition. being able to bring someone to the ball. if they can get the contols feeling nice and smooth and not clunky like it can be now. sometimes it works sometimes it does not then i feel they can be successful this year.

Graphically it looks exactly like Live 15. They just added more contrast. Off ball movement I like. What I don't like is how the AI still allow the ball carrier to drive to the hole UNCHALLENGED. Nobody ever rotates over and challenges.

I hope they improve the presentation when it comes to commentary. Because when you are in the playoffs, they don't talk about it or even talk about the series score at all. Then when I won the title yesterday, they made no mention of it. No end of the game celebration or anything. They treated it like it was just a regular game.

Definitely looks much improved but let's be honest, Live had nowhere to go but up considering that last two games they put out. There's a lot to like about what their doing with the game but until they get the animation quality at the level of their competition it will still fall short. I like that Live gives you more freedom to break out of animations better than 2K but if the animations aren't as smooth it's kind of a wash in that area.

+ Player models look better

+ Off ball movement is improved

+ Signature shots / dribbling looks good

+ Like the hand off passes

+ Physics & "Live movement" look good

- Net/rim physics are still stiff & not dynamic enough (need to see more variations in how the ball goes through the net ala 2K)

- Still no assistant coaches on the bench which looks awkward

- Animations (although improved) still have that "Live stiffness" look to them

Overall the game is much improved but still not at the level it needs to be. Keep working on the animation quality & Live could on it's way. Hopefully they can still improve between now & release. I will definitely give it a try.

The Curry floater was nice, but man that Mozgov dunk off the PNR was not good. Those transitional animations need to be 1.1, instead we get this awkward pause, foot-shuffle thing before he attacks the rim.

Still work to do.

Nah, they changed the lighting or tweaked it, it looks a lot different, and Steph looks much better this year. They got his hair colour down now

Only tweak was contrast was added. I can though the same thing in Adobe Premiere to Live 15.

Re: NBA Live 16 Gameplay Video (IGN)

After watching the video I feel animation-wise it's better but it's still not there yet, I don't like the Bogut rebound animation or almost any that are in Live 15 for that matter. Movement is a lot better than Live 15, good thing that they got rid of the automotion thing. I still despite and can't understand how can the post player after receiving a pass doesn't immediately go for the score, like 24th said it stuck out like a sore thumb and need to be address as soon as possible. I don't hate the lighting in-game but I thought it'd look closer to the screenshots, maybe it will get fixed right? Floaty passes still? Those inbound passes looked awful. A couple things that I also didn't liked was how any Cavs player didn't help Kyrie when Curry attacked the basket, at least Mozgov should've helped; also how Tristan Thompson didn't help JR Smith boxing out Bogut and let him grab the rebound without any kind of aggression that he usually has going for rebound. The livemotion thing seems promising, liked the interaction when JR hit Klay while shooting, should've been a foul though.

As many already said, there's still issues that carry over from past Live games but I see things could affect in a good way. They still have time to iron those issues, if they will do that it's another topic. Overall I believe Live 16 can be a very good game, the gameplay shows promise but there's no certainty that it'll reach our expectations about how great it should be.

Seems like they wanted to show more before they were cut off.....at least have a reporter that is actively involved with sports games and knows what's going on at least....can't use reporters/journalists that passively play these games and expect a good video out of this. This is why games fall through the cracks and company's aren't held responsible for making better games because they get dweebs like this guy that just casually gets through the interview, not really caring, and more enamored by a rpg then Live and 2k....just my opinion.

I like the game...I want to see more I wanna see the depths of modes and play books a long with editing......and smooth some stuff out and I'm good with it....

I'm buying it


I like it.

This doesnt contain to the game in particular but im suprised nba live or 2k hasnt got Licensed refs in the were each called fouls different for Example Joey Crawford would call a charge different from say a Tony Brothers. Just a suggestion im suprised they didnt try out.Same goes for Madden

More money.....Game budgets are already expensive, no need to add licensed refs considering you only going to see them close up less then 1% of the time.

Re: NBA Live 16 Gameplay Video (IGN)

Looks like competitively it will be more fun than last year, but I have to agree that until Live can make the game animate as beautifully as the game is in real life they're not gonna get that real sense of immersion.

Re: NBA Live 16 Gameplay Video (IGN)

I like what I see but then again I'm on my phone....need to see this later on a bigger screen but overall it looks better than last year's version.
