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

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

First off I would like to acknowledge EA's efforts in bringing this game back. While they are still a ways to go, their hard work is noticeable. With that being said, after watching this video and all the other videos from shacknews's stream page I cannot and will not pay $60 for this game. I will wait for it to become available on EA Access. Animations are still off, lay-ups are too floaty, and it just doesn't look like real basketball. I will take $20 from the $60 I was going to spend on this and put it towards the MJSE of the other title. I'm so disappointed because for the 3rd year in a row I thought I would be having two good basketball games. And NO I haven't played it and nor will that change my mind UNLESS they drop some major patch that fixes the flaws.

Doesn't look like basketball? I can't see what you're seeing. Looks like solid ball to me

If you have specific animations you'd like to see fixed, check out this thread: http://www.operationsports.com/forum...-feedback.html

Some floaty things at the rim on occasion and passing looks a bit funny at times, but nothing really looks too way off. I think it's going to be fun. Regardless of the nitpicks haters always bring up, I say get over it . Base it on the fun factor.

Man, there are a lot of positives to take from this video, but for me, the lack of collisions and animations around the rim would be a deal breaker, assuming it isn't drastically improved by a patch, which I really don't think would be possible.

It's a shame, because the graphics are greatly improved and the overall player movement seems much better. At the end of the day though, I can't pay $60 for a game in which I'm cringing every time anyone drives the lane. How long have they been using that terrible hook shot animation now, 6 years? And is that the only shot animation they have in the post?

haha...yeah - remember when 2k did that with the nfl games back in the day? 2k offered their nfl game for like $20, and it was a damn good game...and they ended up stealing a lot of users from Madden. but that only works if your game is at least AS GOOD as the competition.

after 2k stole a bunch of Madden's sales, EA bought the exclusive rights to the nfl license. EA got scared because they knew 2k could make a better nfl game. so rather than improve their game, they just took the "easy route" and bought the license.

Not accurate at all. The NFL approached both EA and 2K to make the game exclusive (just like everything else with the NFL is exclusive), and EA won the bid.

But, anyway, back to the thread.

It looks like an improvement from its predecessors (like that was hard to do) but comparable to the other basketball game it is not. There's just so much more going on under the hood in the other engine it leaves this one in the smoke.

Having more than one choice is never a bad thing, however, when the difference is this drastic the illusion of choice is just that, an illusion.

^^^^^^^ THIS!!!!

After watching this video, I will just wait until it is free through ea access. I find it quite comical that some people believe that this game is actually polished and ready for the big sales numbers. I still see alot of what was wrong with NBA Elite and every title that's proceeded it. We have all been suckered by the marketing ploy of showing close-ups of players through the replay function of the game. EA Sports developers are stellar with animation and realism in FIFA. However, some of their other titles need work big time.

Thank you for being honest...

Way too many guys on here keep defending this game for sub par performances.

If EA doesn't feel any heat i doubt they will brake their necks to give us a complete basketball game any time soon.

Seems like some posters are willing to hold their hands like little babies...

This company (EA) already knows what it takes to make a good game they been in this business for over 25 years with sports games....

If the consumer kept delivering marginal results on his job he'd be fired by now....

The excuse for new systems and new builds get really old because no one else is doing this stuff but the NBA Live TEAM

Player models look fantastic on those closeups. Some very nice dunk animations too.

Rebounding and inside game is totally looking OFF.
