Anyone know how to fix the camera in the shootaround mode? My camera is stuck below the player's feet.

I'm having the same issue. The camera seems like its stuck under the floor. Tried scrimmage & it's the same thing.

The steals are funny as hell since I'm so used to losing the ball to the first swipe thanks to LUT online. To see it go from 4 a quarter to 4 in 3 games is a huge jump ����

I pre-ordered NBA Live 16 in June. I usually pre-order the summer and autumn games during this period. I wanted to give this edition a chance. NBA Live 14 looked like trash and I laughed at it. NBA Live 15? I only played the demo a year later and I thought it was booty but had potential. What I have seen so far has been great (E3 and media we have had so far), so I was like good I will be okay getting it. I don't do demos, so I was so tempted to play it and I am happy I did.

Pros:

1. Pick up & play - Seems to have the same controls as you know what. Made it easy for me to jump in and do my thing. I didn't even look at the tutorials or anything. If they have the same controls with the real game then this is a plus.

2. Presentation - I am in love with the ESPN presentation. Makes me feel like I am part of something. This is a nice touch. This might be the best part of the game so far.

3. A great alternative - It's always good to have options. NBA Live 16 is a good alternative. When you want a break from the other guys then you can pop this one in with no problems. Finish a season with the other guys and you can play this one and do the same thing. It's awesome to me.

4. It's damn fun - This game is so fun. It's not quite there yet but it's fun to play and that's all that matters to me. My time is valuable to me, so if I can play this for 2-4 hours then I am good.

5. Replays - I love this feature. Pressing R3 to replay what I just did is awesome. No need to press pause or what not. I can do it myself. I love it.


Cons:

1. Rebounding - Like everyone has said, it's freaking horrid. It feels like you have to press triangle 50 times just to jump and when the man jumps it's super slow. Rebounding sucks ***. Boxing out does nothing either. Like someone else said, you can have 4 guys on your team in the paint but the opposing team will get the rebound every time. I have always had more defensive rebounds than offensive rebounds but this is just ridiculous. Both sides of the ball are hard to grab rebounds.

2. Controls are not fluid - Controls are the same as you know what but they are still stiff. Passes are slow. I love playing SSOL, run and gun, 3&D type of ball and I can't really do it on this game. I did beat the dust off of the Bulls with the Warriors by 25, so that was my best game that plays to my style.

3. Not a true NBA simulation - It's still very arcadish. It's fun to play but it's not even close to being a simulated NBA game. I grew up playing NBA Live from 95 to NBA Live 09, so at least it's true to the brand but it's not a competitor. I would say by NBA Live 18 it should be there but not even close right now.

4. Defense is non-existent - The offensive part is fine. The defense? It's hell. The AI on your team does most of the stops and that's not good for me since I love to smother my man and play elite team defense. The defense is not in my control.

5. Point guards are unstoppable - John Wall will have a field day in the paint. Layups, floaters, hook shots, teardrops, etc are impossible to guard. They always go in no matter what. You can't block them or anything. Chris Paul was killing my *** when I was the Cavs but I still won by 16.

Conclusion - I like NBA Live 16. Too many people are harsh on the demo. At the end of the day, it's a demo. Don't be disappointed here. It wasn't going to be a competitor this year. I give EA a couple of more years until they get it right but I am happy we finally have a good alternative in basketball. Makes it feel like the old days of gaming where we had multiple versions of sports games. This makes me feel like it's 1995 again. I can't wait to play the full game in 2 weeks. The other guys, NHL 16, FIFA 16, MGS V and Mad Max are keeping me busy until then.

Good job, good effort, EA! You're almost there!

It may sound trivial but I absolutely love that you can turn off every single icon /overlay whatever you want to call them. I really like my video games to mimic a real broadcast so I appreciate the ability to not have a big flashing circle under my guy. The only other game I believe that let's you do that is NHL. I wish so much that the show, nba2k and Madden would allow it as an option.

You can yeah. Once the full data downloads and installs it opens up the options, where these things can be changed in the visual settings.

I couldn't take a quarter of it. Adjusted sliders mid game and it made a big difference. Will still have unstoppable stuff but the physicality of the paint was increased big time.

I just hope it's adjusted for head to head and pro am as well...H2H already seems like it's going to be a nightmare.....and it would actually encourage more teamwork in Pro Am if these PGs couldn't consistently score in traffic.

I planned on buying day one, but I might wait on you guys impressions after the day one patch...I just can't deal with lackluster defense again for a year...

As fun as Pro Am is, and I mean it's my wife giving me the "you're playing this too much" look fun......I still prefer NBA action....

I get 'peer disconnected' message EVERY time I try the pro am stuff.

Is that normal? I can see my guy there on the court, but it drops out the moment I hit any button.

I probably see it every 10 matches.

If you get to the lobby and don't see your man there but the ticker is still counting down, that's a sign you're going to get the corrupted player message so go ahead and back out...

As a player who hasnt touched online since atleast 6-7(Micheal Redd was my goto and still relevant). Summer circuit/Live Pro-am run is a F***ing blast to play. I might got lucky my first time with a decent team but im played as defensive C and I feel like my player is contributing to something. My pg I was playing with rewarded my effort with passes in the post, threw a few alleyoops when I set screens.

Wow. Live need to get there stuff together, they struck gold(potentially) here.

I also enjoy it ,but I'm catching on there's so many ball hogs and playing with CPU is a much more enjoyable experience and you can gain skill points much faster. Online plays fine, but playing defense seems impossible to me. Of course I"m a shooter, not really a defensive powerhouse.

Bug alert.

Assuming this is not for every type of player. But not getting credited for stuff on the court

Just had a 14pt 5reb 1asst 1blk game. Got points for making 2 asst shots but nothing for my asst. Not getting any SP for made buckets or setting screens. Rarely for boxouts.

Paint defense is non-existent, FPS is terrible in Pro-Am and lag is ever present.

Still better than MyPark/Rec Center but not worth playing over NHL EASHL or FIFA Pro Clubs.

We'll see what the other game has in store for 5v5..

Defense is nice with a rim protector. Only issues I have stopping are good post offensive players like jonas.

I started the PRO Am mode. IT's a good time, but it's better with cpu opponents. I can't stand playing with people because they just run the ball down court and launch a shot. No passing, no chance to get skills. Defense is pretty much impossible, there's a little lag and you can't have lag trying to play defense. Offline is fun though. I really like it.
