Re: NBA Live 16 Gameplay Video - Golden State Warriors vs. Cleveland Cavaliers (2 Min

Goodness.

Immediately on the first play and the AI attempts a left handed dunk despite the clear path with his right? Of course the shot gets blocked. If that happens to me in-game, I'm liable to stop playing right there.

Unlike the other video, in this one CPU Kyrie actually attempts to drive to the basket and gets the foul when the USER veers off his defensive assignment. Maybe difficulty level has something to do with this? But I'm glad to see this either way.

This sounds petty but does the point guard have to always stand by the free throw line when receiving the inbound pass? And is it always on the opposite end of where the inbound is? Little things like this just don't make sense.


1:27 in. This is the issue with the CPU not protecting the paint with the fast break in motion. CPU Kyrie should be in the paint while being aware of his assignment. Instead, he hangs by the free throw line and his assignment (Curry) runs right past him for an easy pass. Though the user blows the layup, this is the kind of CPU AI that is frustrating.

2:00 in. Why is CPU Thompson not aware of his defender? Just dribbling the basketball right into Bogut and then right in front of the would-be stealer. No real person does that. They would protect the ball immediately or try to dribble away. I understand there's an offensive awareness rating, but that's not rating based. That's pure basketball logic that no one making the NBA would purposely do.

And yes while some of this stuff is petty, it's time, guys. EA wants to be respected and play with the big boys then they need to think about these little things. Graphics and overall stuff is there. Time to fix the things that make the game real.
