Now these buzzwords like fun and responsive have been cracking me up....

There is no true "sim experience" in VIDEO GAMES. The sooner people start realizing this, the more FUN they will have with the actual game instead of being obsessed with numbers/stats.

I completely agree. Also that's an ILLEGAL play/move in the NBA. You can't grab the rim with your off-hand on a dunk or layup. Hopefully it will be addressed in a Day 1 patch.

2k14 has 2 dunks where the rim is grabbed by the off hand I think they add stuff like that for hype! It is a video game at the end of the day!!! Both games will have there positives though.

# 85 swac07 @ 10/04/14 02:46 PM

Will there be any information/impressions about defense???

# 86 RdubYa @ 10/04/14 03:00 PM

Just not that impressed. The player models didn't look that great, and a few times throughout the ball handling just seemed "off" to me.

Honestly may pass on both games this year. 2k just rubbed me the wrong way with their handling of issues, especially VC.

I really hope this isn't the case.

It looks real good!...I didn't see any foot sliding from what I can tell. Looking forward to playing NBA Live15 this year!

That is not completely true. I play racing videogames (Iracing for instance) with my good wheel, pedals and playseat and I can say that I have a great and incredibly realistic "sim experience", even though I got your point, I think in sports games the goal should always be to simulate reality, and in basketball (for instance) stats are a very important aspect of the game...

Back to the topic, all the impressions have been quite positive so far (we could not say the same thing last year with Live 14) so I am really looking forward to NBA Live 15 and hopefully this season we will have 2 enjoyable and sim oriented basketball videogames...

Cheers! ;-)

It is good to see lots of positive hands on previews. It seems like Live now has a good core from which to build on. Hopefully the community will support it with strong sales. And hopefully the development team will continue to Inovate the game and keep the community involved with its growth.

Cartoon? Did ypu just see a super tecmo basketball video? Not seeing cartoon at all

One thing i noticed from all the previews from the other game being shown now is how well EA did in the arena lighting and authenticity. Going to give the game a shot. Two hoop games will be better than just having one. My only hangup is that EA isn't showing the fans what we want to see. Show us some gameplay. Thats all were asking. I'm sold on players, shoes, arena, and accessories authenticity.... Just give me some gameplay to settle my wavering attitude towards their product.

Can someone post a download link for it?

There was an option to download it on the gametrailers page below the video. I dl'd it from my phone and from my pc.

Live 16 is a game I will definately have my eyes on. Looks promising.

I consider myself more of a 2k fan as well (ironically 2k3 was the game that completely sold me on the series) but I've been waiting for Live to come out with an enjoyable game for a while. You also touch on a point that I think a lot of fans disagree on and it's the idea of Live "catching up" with 2k. I think we all want Live to have the depth, quality, and variety of modes as 2k but I don't think Live necessarily needs to "catch up" to 2k in order to gain fans and be considered a competitor. Where Live can shine and gain some popularity is with it's on court gameplay. If the game can be fun, yet realistic, offer responsive controls and be something a little different than 2k then the series will be able to make a name for itself instead of living in 2k's shadow. I think people focus so much on comparing the two games that they forget to enjoy Live for what it is instead being concerned with what it is not.

I couldn't agree more....

The way the player models are shaped, every motion on the jumpshot , their Armpits you tell me what you're looking at. Live has potential but way to unrealistic for me. I've been waiting since live 08 to see if it was worth purchasing. This review itself doesn't really give you anything I need to hear the good the bad and the ugly. Skipping this years purchase as well. I've bought both live in 2k since 2003 but stopped buying live after 08

I see some weird moves but no cartoon, were you looking at the wrong video??

# 100 wdh6325 @ 10/05/14 05:55 PM

No cartoons here either.
