For simulation I go with 2k, but for sim arcade style I go for Live. Live is what it usually is, fun. That's not a bad thing. It's nice having two totally different games to choose from.

For those that care even though it's 2k release day there is a huge content update for the full game to download... should have some new face scans for rookies etc and hopefully some tweaks to gameplay...

Played Dubs (me) at Spurs with 5 minute quarters with default sliders.

First thing I noticed immediately is way more contact especially in the paint. That forced more off balance shots and more fouls. Aldridge had maybe 2 of the wacky hook shots otherwise it was elbow jumpers and believe it or not postup turnaround jump shots (not hooks!). I had plenty of pullup jumpers in the paint that didn't turn into fast moving animated dunks/layups. I maybe saw 3 dunks total in traffic where before the update it would be more like 12.

Only one game but was best human vs CPU game of Live ever... when you guys need a break from the other game check it out I'm curious if you are seeing what I'm seeing...

I downloaded the trial and will be playing. I usually don't buy basketball games but I am intrigued by this year's game. Will leave feedback.

Any additional news about the gameplay post update? Have you played any other games? What can you say about perimeter defense. Has that improve?. I find it quite easy at times to break my defender down one on one causing the defense to spin sideways (need more variety and balance with this animation). Is this still happening when a crossover is executed? What other improvements have you noticed? Mid range game? Any glaring issues? Have the rookies been patched in and how do they look?

Damn! You on Ps4 or XB1? Have you tried pausing and unpausing the download within the notification/downloads section or menu when using the PS4? You may have to execute this action several times. This should force the download to cycle between servers until you find an optimal speed that will allow the expedition of the file to your local platform data repository.

I've been playing this game on Xbox with the trial and maybe I'm alone here but NBA Live is pretty gameplay and graphics-wise. I enjoy the pacing and the movement. Played a couple games against the cpu and had a great time with. I don't understand where this game seems more arcadey than the "other" one. This seems like a very solid sim to me. It's not as flashy as its counterpart but for me that's what I'm looking for. Pure basketball.

Yeah. I agree. This last big patch/update seemed to make things more enjoyable for me. I had some good moments and the game was right down to the wire. MiamiVSCavs. The cpu even made mid range jumpers. I lowered the sliders to 40 shooting on both sides, seemed to make it more realistic. I want the eurostep/pro step button toned down, still too easy to score with that.

I have to agree 100%, I have played the crap out of the demo and own the other game since Friday and been playing the crop out of that too. I usually don't get caught up in the the battle of who's better stuff. IMO, LIVE is just as Sim as the other game, to lives credit, crowds players faces and all around graphics look quote great. As a Knicks fan too is much more enjoyable playing in the garden in LIVE, just because they have the rights and the real MSG court in the game. I don't know. I like both but live has gotten extremely better, we'll for me anyways.

The full game is out today, is that right?

Why are there no impressions / no separate thread / no day one patch notes etc?
