Re: NBA Live 15 and First In-Game Update Available Today, Post Your Impressions
We're not allowed to compare correct? So I will just say this, this game has the best courts of ANY b'ball game I've ever seen. The lighting, the color, everything! Love the looks overall.
Now to the game...
1 hour of playing time. For me, I approve it and would recommend you at least try it if you're considering another b'ball game and just want to try something new. Straight out, here's the truth, it's not garbage and it's not a bad game and I think it might even be worth the price I paid from what I played so far, for the enjoyment level at least.
The pace of the game is quite slow (I think you can adjust that) But I like the flow. It feels and plays like real basketball. Anyone who played Live 10 should be right at home with it, controls are basically identical with a few enhancements obviously. Graphics are great. Live 15's player models are very nice. You can definitely recognize most of them and the body sizes seem quite accruate to me. No more complaing about being too skinny! Clipping and body collision is actually really good. I saw some pretty epic multiple collisions in the paint and they didn't look crappy and actually looked realistic! I see a few floppy animations here and there, but again, light years better than 14. Shooting at the right release point is tricky but the system tells you exactly what you're doing wrong, being late, early etc and you'll catch on to your favorite team's release points for all your players. I saw a lot of signature dunks and moves already and the pick and roll system is a blast like it was on NBA Live back in the day. Players need to move a little better and that herky jerky, it's occasionally there and sometimes they do look like they're picking their noses just standing around, but it's not as prevalent and calling plays takes care of that.
Nitpicks? Eh, commentary is great at times, bad in other times, and sometimes just too darn quiet. I like the team they got, but they're just a bit iffy as a whole. Definitely needs some work. Playing defense is kind of a chore and staying in front of your man is no easy task, and protecting the paint obviously is a problem in this game, but it's nothing horribly bad, just quirky at times.
Worth 60 bucks? I can't say for sure yet, but I know that I will be playing it for quite some time. I'm glad I Got it. No regrets . 8 out of 10.
