To me, players felt way too heavy and lacked subtle moves that made it feel good to navigate around the court. I felt there were too many unnecessary plants and wide angles taken. The ability to deflect passes on command…with the game looking a bit more ‘free’ this year I’m hoping they give us full control over this. Better transition animations. This is a big part of the offensive flow for me. A drop pass to a big, a quick pass to an open cutter should result in a smooth gather in finish. Too many times the player at the basket would hesitate to go up and end up being defended. Defense at the basket. Blocks were well done in Live 15, but I would like to see more body to body contact at the rim. Too much whiffed contact near the basket.

This basically sums up all my thoughts about what will improve gameplay. The lack of complex animations has been a problem. Also passing is a huge issue, it makes the game look unnatural and weird(lack of a better word).
