Joining LIVE Run is the brand new Summer Circuit, an online co-op mode where players will travel across North America squaring off against NBA superstars on a journey to dominate the court. LIVE Pro-Am will be available to try for free starting September 15 via download on Xbox Live and PlayStation Network.

At the heart of LIVE Pro-Am is you. Use your created player across LIVE Run, Summer Circuit and the Rising Star career mode.

Why don't you try it day 1? It's free. They're confident enough to give a free demo of full modes. Try it out. No need to wait. If you enjoy it, awesome. If not, the only thing you're out is the bandwidth it took to download it.

I am definitely looking forward to checking this out. Live definitely has me intrigued this year. I am glad they have gotten it together and look to be able to compete with 2k this year.

The idea is that playing to 21 makes the games go a lot faster. We were able to get in 5 or 6 per hour, which was nice.

Trailer looked good I cant lie... Hopefully they step their gameplay up alot.. Im all for the Competition 🔥🔥

# 105 k1lo5 @ 08/13/15 04:16 PM

I could probably play 30 games an hour up to 3, but that's not the point. The rec is pretty popular in the other game because it attempts to simulate an NBA game.

I guess Im the minority in the idea that the longer the game is the more you invest and want to win. If I play a 10 minute game I might tend to not really care at some points because it's going to be over quickly.

Also up to 21? I assume it's 1s and 2s then for scoring? Which puts more emphasis on 3pt shooting than 2s and 3s.

Lets say my team shoots 10/10as a in 1s and 2s and we have 10 points, the other team goes 6/10 shooting only 2s and it's 12-10 score.

2s and 3s it's 20 to 18 in favor of my team.

Yeah I agree with you it seems like a park mode too fast and no rules.

They made it fast most likely so that you get your game in then XP fast. I actually think they should have gone full crew with NBA rules.

# 108 TalentedJB @ 08/13/15 05:34 PM

Bro! Those real-life courts look legit. I'm from NYC and they got the Brooklyn Bridge Stadium Park, Rucker, and Terminal 23! That's Dope!

And haha, EA taking shots with the whole online connectivity lol, they know 2k fans are exhausted by the servers and lack of match-making.

# 109 GudStuffzz @ 08/13/15 06:10 PM

This may finally be the year where I purchase both games.

# 110 ruLEX$$ @ 08/13/15 06:16 PM

Durant's shot was on point 100

Believe me, if it's on point I'll definitely grab it. I enjoyed playing you in Live 15 despite some of its issues. I already have the other game pre-ordered. I'm skeptical of Live this year, but I'll give it a fair shake

# 112 TalenT @ 08/13/15 06:40 PM

Looks BOSS! The foot planting is marvelous! I'm impressed. The only thing I hate is the way the dunk the ball like they're holding a ping pong ball. Other than that...

It's 2s and 3s, and quicker games means faster matchmaking and more opportunities to get in games. It might not be for you (I'm not a big online player so I may not play it much), but more opportunities to get in games is better.

There are a couple of different questions there.

Team work is absolutely essential to success in Pro-Am. When we played as a team and played to our roles it was more fun and we were a lot more successful. I was running as a pass-first guard and running PnRs, setting up shooters and cutters, finding post guys. It was very rewarding.

I can't really answer the situational passing question. When I play, I run spread PnR with drive and kick as well, and I was able to run an efficient offense. That's as far as I can go right now.

# 115 StormsWarning @ 08/13/15 07:23 PM

Sounds Amazing, It Looks Amazing! Live is going to shock people yo, and whether those who don't like it, guess what...

Live is back! That Video gave me that oldschool vibe, of how live intro's used to be back in the 90's, it aint about to get real it is Real! Lets Go!

Just one simple question for you MrPrice. Will the new shot meter be present in the Pro-AM modes?!
