I pre-ordered the jordan version of 2k16 and live 16. My bias is that i have been a 2k die hard since dreamcast. That said I have played every Live in the post Elite era. All that said, NBA Live 16 is pretty dope. I love how the game communicates plays. It does a great job of letting you know whats coming 1 or 2 steps ahead. I like the shot meter a lot as well. By the end of the patching in Live 15 missing and making shots felt so random it was unbearable. This year if you miss a shot they will tell you if your player was a bad 3pt shooter, or not clutch. Very well done. There are a few awkward lay up animations but the game looks good. I still think nobody does ultimate team better than EA. MyTeam is mediocre but Live Ultimate Team is great once again. That said, the my player mode in Live is much weaker then the 2K spike lee joint. It's still too bare bones in NBA Live.
All in all, I think NBA Live 16 is worth a purchase. It is a solid basketball game. I am so excited to be back in an era with more than one NBA game worth playing. Reminds of back when I was playing Konami NBA games, with Live, and NBA Action.... feels good
