NBA Live 15 Staff Impressions Ahead of Release Day

[@marcusjiles]

I thought I'd buy it this year but I KNEW that this game wouldnt be turned around within a year. Live 14 was a PS2 game. Live 15 is a PS3 game. Next year I think is the game to look out for. The foundation is here. It's viewable. We can all see it. But it's not worth 60 bucks yet.

Also, watched a video on youtube that went through ALL of the shoes and the shoes while there's PLENTY, like a quarter of them look good. A lot of the Nike's look awful. But yes, when I see that Kobe 9, especially the Showtime colorway, my mouth waters.

Nba Live you guys have to patch the late game situations, because Live 14 would not shoot the ball either when I would be up by 2 or 3 and if I was the team down by 2 or 3. First patch please.

I just hope when its reviewed its reviewed fairly and not under the "hype" glasses that its now a playable game...If that Day one patch doesnt fix the continuous player clipping issue and AI logic then thats gonna be a big issue...I dont care how fun/sim/not sim/arcade/not arcade it is...

Also I don't want Nba Live to turn down stealing the ball just make more animations for the cpu to protect the ball and react to double teams faster. also give us the option to be able to steal the ball with either hand.

you guys need to add voice commands for the PS camera but make sure the responsiveness is better than 2k15 make your voice commands a priority for your rising star mode because it's an afterthought

I meant to say afterthought in 2k15.

Is Kevin Love's arms really that ripped?

I appreciate that EA is putting in the effort & trying get this game to where in needs to be, but at the same time I don't get this sympathy treatment that Live is getting. So EA puts out a piss poor game in Live 14 (after basically having 4 years to get their act together)....This years game is improved over last year & some are over praising them for it. It's the old build em up to tear em down analogy. They set the bar so low for themselves that any improvement is exaggerated. I think people are so thirsty for competition & want Live to succeed if for nothing else to continue to have a choice in basketball games which I'm all for. My point is that the game is at least respectable this year but it's still nowhere near where it needs to be going into 2015. In my opinion Live 15 is a slight improvement over Live 10 & that's not good enough in 2015. There are some things done well in Live 15 & dare I say better than "the other game" (foot planting, atmosphere, halftime presentation, etc..) but the on the court gameplay still has a ways to go. If EA can get the animations to play out smoothly, add more of a variety of animations & greatly improve the AI then they could be onto something going forward. Then again we've been saying that for how many years now........?

Agreed man, what you said plus some people just want something different to play that they will over hype any decent alternative. Same thing happened with Madden 15, people got all excited over it because it was a sizable improvement over Madden 25, now people are starting to realize how bad Madden 15 sucks. With that being said Live 15 is not that bad.
