NBA Live 16 Gameplay Video - 10 Minutes of Rising Star Mode

[The 24th Letter]

Re: Rising star gameplay

Most of what I've seen to day has been good even with the feedback I've given.....but man, not a fan of this video at all....

Paint play was really disappointing here...still a lot of awkwardness/ lack of contact down there and the catch-finish translation STILL has that hesitation....ugh....that was one of my top peeves with '15:...

Somehow that big hop stop, finger roll animation made it back too....ugh

Re: Rising star gameplay

Compared to last year's version which is what I'll only compare it to. It looks very good. Definitely thinking about as day one purchase.

Maybe it's me, but it did seem like the user player arms were pretty big, compared to the other's, wish we could have seen the creation parts as well.

I know that in Live 15 you could make them massive like that. I made a PF that looked like the hulk lol

Re: Rising star gameplay

Nice to finally see some gameplay.

The good: game flows nicely, looks smoother, nice spacing, nice graphics.

The bad: Still see those awkward animations (like the hook shot at 1:08...will they ever fix this???), and to me every layup/lay-in animation was awkward (Live 08 style). I guess it's not going to change.

Re: Rising star gameplay

I'm with most of you. There's good and troubling with this footage. Glad to have an extended clip but although improvements are evident some animations appear off in a sense. Some transitional stuff needs to be ironed out though it sounds like these deficiencies will hopefully be addressed with the first patch. Still very good progress as it is.

Post/paint game looks terrible.

Re: Rising star gameplay

Looks good to me! Still a little wonky at times but nothing a patch or 2 shouldn't clean up. Demo will be my deciding point but very solid so far.

Re: Rising star gameplay

Still not seeing cpu players create there own shot on the perimeter. The cpu seems to only look for the best shot avalible and not take pull ups, stepbacks or contested midrange shots created off the dribble.

Re: Rising star gameplay

You think the Day 1 patch will be included in and with the demo?

We won't know for sure, but the way things are typically built is the demo is built separately and alongside the main game. It's essentially treated as a 1.0 release of a much smaller portion of the game. It's why a lot of games now don't have demos, since development resources are stretched so thinly just to make the regular release dates that pulling any extra resources aside for a demo just isn't feasible.

The demo *might* have some of this stuff cleaned up already. It *might* have the rookies for the included teams scanned and added already. I honestly hope it does, but we'll see.

Everything was all good until I saw all the lay-up animations that I hate.

Re: Rising star gameplay

I wonder what difficulty it was on, user made a lot of 3s when he wasn't even wide open. See some skating and wonky animations every now and than too.

The presentation and court lighting looks really good.

Re: Rising star gameplay

This does not look good. Very unrealistic animations, dribbling looks funny and just cartoony all around.

I'm glad this came out now before I talked myself into buying this.

There's a demo coming out tuesday. I guess people still don't know about it lol

Waiting on the day one patch to make a difference, but as improved as it looks I just can't deal with the weird dribbling animations. 3 years.....

Re: Rising star gameplay

Still a lot of the bad animations from last years game. Especially when close to the basket.

This looked exactly like NBA Live 15, I'mma try the demo but Live can't be having this many inconsistencies in their animations going into year 3 of the reboot. The game didn't look this bad in the other videos that we saw even tho they were really short.

Re: NBA Live 16 Gameplay Video - 10 Minutes of Rising Star Mode

While there are hits and misses in this video. It just looks like "uninspired basketball." Some animations which myself and others complained about are still there which is just a headscratcher.
EA made note that they've increased "dev staff" but it seems none of this extra help went to work on the lackluster post game. Just weird stuff in the paint. Dudes are open 2 feet from the basket then do a weird looking shot that fades them back. Just so disjointed looking... Glad theres a demo because for the 19th year in a row, I wont be purchasing a EA basketball game.
