About guarantee? Regardless if you have an early copy or not, if we Access members don't have the infamous patch, retail copies wouldn't either.... Or what am I missing? I'm afraid what we're playing is post patch

It's possible the case is EA Access members gets full access to the game but not the "benefits" like a patch. So it's much like a demo in that regard.

He's playing a retail copy of the game, EA Access and us PS4 users who download the demo probably won't have access to the patch..

Which isn't a good thing because people are playing a worse representation of the game. EA always finding ways to confuse me

The sound is low.

I had to crank my Onkyo up to 39, where most games I'm OK at 33.

Playing zone is an automatic three and wet. That's crazy.

Those screencaps of stats are encouraging, specifically the PitP and FG%. Some of the clips I've seen show an obvious lack of defense, but those screencaps seem to indicate that it is possible. If we are able to see those type of numbers consistently with post-patch gameplay, I'm absolutely sold.

Just played through one game (Hornets vs. Magic) and still have to get used to the controls. The shot release meter is different from 2K's, so I kept getting "Late Release" for a long time, missing many open shots. But that's something that will become better with more play time. Some of the animations are kind of wonky - players glide across the court or nearly teleport to the basket past your defenders at times.

Courts look great, with one notable exception (sorry for the potato quality, my phone camera is terrible):

Court should say "hornets.com" instead of "hornets.con".

The players that were scanned into the game look VERY good, but the ones that didn't are pretty bad. For instance, Elfrid Payton is one of the most recognizable-looking rookies in the league with his cool hair. But this is Elfrid Payton in Live 15:

Come on, man.

I love the ESPN presentation - the halftime show is a 1000x upgrade from 2K's. The announcing will probably get tedious after a few games, but the soundtrack is dope.

Just at first glance, it's a much better effort than Live 14, but I'm still not sure it's worth $60. I'll probably wait until a price drop to pick this one up. Interested to play the Rising Star mode later. If it's engrossing, I may change my opinion on buying it full price.

Man that Elfrid Payton is TERRIBLE. They did mention they were able to update hairstyles throughout the year though so i gotta think that will be updated as soon as possible, hopefully Day 1 of the season.

# 151 The 24th Letter @ 10/23/14 05:46 PM

Wow @ at Payton

# 152 Jano @ 10/23/14 05:51 PM

Oh wow that's Payton??? I thought you was talking about another player entirely in your post

# 153 CujoMatty @ 10/23/14 06:01 PM

played another game. I gotta say the games growing on me a bit. When the game looks good it reallllly looks good. louis williams on the raptors looks absolutely perfect. I wish they all looked that good.

I noticed what someone else had posted. every made shot is a swish. no rattlers. thats not good.

I like playing defense better in live than the other game.

I really dislike the commentary.

im starting to feel like I might nab this.

# 154 WTF @ 10/23/14 06:16 PM

I've seem a lot of rattlers post patch. I'm on v1.01 on PS4.

# 155 ChrisCP3Paul @ 10/23/14 06:24 PM

No there is definitely a lot of ball - rim interaction, it's one of my favorite things about the game, quite often it really feels like there's actual physics involved...

I had one layup by Wiggins that bounced on the front of the rim 2 maybe 3 times and then gently and ever so softly went in, but then I was awoken by that nasty deep sounding SWOOOSH sound...
I'd be surprised if they have more than 2 swish noises, and they don't even sound like swishes, sounds like a very bass heavy deep SWOOSH....

Now to be slightly more picky, and I'm just talking here, I notice Steph Curry for example, a lot of the time he seems to hit just enough back rim with the ball to create a very distinct THUMP/SWISH combination..... I mean things like this need to be considered, I know obviously it's not a priority for Live 15, but I'm just talkin hereee

# 156 The 24th Letter @ 10/23/14 06:29 PM

You can definitely see the rag doll physics in the game...but it seems heavily in the offenses favor...I don't think I've yet to see a defensive player "win" one of those interactions...of course this could all change with the patch....sucks that I'm out of time with the demo...

# 157 WTF @ 10/23/14 06:32 PM

That stinks man. I'm glad I'm not in the same boat. If it weren't for the kids and me constantly pausing going into replay, I'd stream some late tonight.

Is the defense better post patch in your opinion vs the demo version?
