RISE TOGETHER IN NBA LIVE 16 PRO-AM

New LIVE Run and Summer Circuit Online Modes Available for Free on Sept 15

Today Electronic Arts Inc. (NASDAQ: EA) announced NBA LIVE 16 is bringing basketball fans new ways to compete online with the introduction of LIVE Pro-Am. LIVE Pro-Am features two all-new fun and exciting online modes, LIVE Run and Summer Circuit. First off is LIVE Run, giving players a smooth and stable online pick-up game with up to nine friends on storied courts like Rucker Park, Venice Beach, Jordan Terminal 23 and more. 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. Playing games in any of these modes will earn you SP (Skill Points) to upgrade your skills using our new progression system and RP (Reward Points) to purchase authentic gear in the LIVE Spot store. Customize your player from head to toe with the latest kicks and gear from leading apparel brands including Jordan, or get some ink from world-renowned tattooist Randy Harris. NBA LIVE 16 also introduces a new companion mobile app featuring GameFaceHD, the exclusive mobile scanning tech which can be used to quickly and easily scan your face and upload it into the game. GameFaceHD will be available for free download on mobile devices starting September 8, and all scanned faces can be used when LIVE Pro-Am launches for free on September 15. Your created character�s progression and reward unlocks will be carried over into the full game when NBA LIVE 16 launches on September 29.

Alongside LIVE Pro-Am, starting September 15 fans can check out exhibition-style play in Tip Off mode with six NBA teams, and the Learn LIVE tutorials, consisting of drills to familiarize yourself with the game and basketball fundamentals. All this together in a free package will give basketball fans an opportunity to run with their friends and get a head start on the new season in advance of the launch of NBA LIVE 16.

Gotcha. So is Live Run only with created players, or can 10 people play against each other with say the Spurs and the Cavs?

I meant as far as purchasing the full games so that way all the kinks can be ironed out at launch.

Users cannot use NBA players in either mode.

Is there another mode allowing 5v5 online matches with real NBA players?

This looks great for the online crowd. Just wish I could edit players in other modes. That holds me back from purchase honestly.

I'll try the demo though. I always make myself on sports games anyway.

No, I mean in franchise modes and NBA rosters.

# 129 Alfro0925 @ 08/13/15 11:03 PM

I'm geeked, offline editing is an issue for me like somebody else said I was upset I couldn't update the rosters to reflect offseason movement

# 130 Haval93 @ 08/13/15 11:26 PM

Video and mode sound good. Two complaints though, the dunk were the dunker grabs the rim and then dunks with his other hand needs to go, and the last dunk in the video wasn't smooth or looked very natural even with slow motion. Hopefully the online experience will be a good one, Live 15 was really laggy for me(Not my connection, 100mbs down and 20mbs up) and was hard to find a game.

Does anyone know if a their is a shot clock? I didnt see one at every court environment.

There is a shot clock.

I just want to know if there is defense. Like is it possible to stop people or once those dunk animations get started it's basically highlight factory.

I know dunks are cool and it's a videogame streetball mode but stopping people on defense, forcing turnovers (and i dont mean just hitting the steal button) is fun too!

THIS!! it's one of my problems on the other game. I want to be able to affect a game with my defense.

Looks promising...

Hopefully we reach a FIFA and PES level of competition in NBA games. Competition is good, and 2K has become stale imo.

# 136 Vic Viper @ 08/14/15 01:23 AM

The more I watch this trailer, the more I want to increase my defensive attributes. I don't want to end up like HoopGawd in that trailer and get dunked on repeatedly. I'm gonna tap into my inner Mutumbo.

Lol

Does anyone know if voice chat is in the mode. Even if not with everyone then at least my teammates. Talking is important and helps with team chemistry espically playing with randoms

Mr Price can the pro am mode be played as a single player offline or does it always have to played as online co-op?
