NBA Live 15 Delayed Until October 28th, Three Short Gameplay Videos Revealed

[MarvinOida]

I want CPU vs CPU. Or CPU vs Human, unless that's how they indicate players as red vs blue. (Which I doubt is the case)

At least give me what the CPU would do as I probably would play a couple CPU games.

100% AGREE

I would rather them delay and take their time then to rush an unfinished product. Some of you guys are amazing, you'll complain about anything. If they release it and it is not finished then you would complain about that. This is a positive thing. At least they care now, there was a point and time when the Devs over Live could care less. I feel they are at least trying now and it shows.

The gameplay was pretty damn good in these videos
-------------------------------------------------------------
PROS:
- AI defense seemed to be much improved over last year. Every player defended their man and contested shots. Very pleasing to my eyes.

- Animations are more fluid and smooth. I loved the running & shooting animations. The second video with Harden driving to the hole looked very good. That is a spot-on James Harden & how he dribbles in real life. The dribbling is some of the best I have ever seen in a Live game.

- Graphics are starting to look more and more closer to what 2K is doing. I don't see a huge gap anymore as far as how the game looks.

- Player reactions. I see that players reactions have greatly improved. In the first video when Lebron dunked you can see the bench erupt in celebration. And Lebron had a lil swag in his walk right before he celebrated. Everything looks all around more realistic and alive this year.

CONS:
- I don't love the crowd models in this footage, they just don't look as good as NHL 15. Guess we will have to wait until NBA Live 16 to get that... (smh). Hopefully they will address that before the release date.

- In the first video LeBron dunked viciously and celebrated like the game was on the line. The game had just started...(lol) I hope that they don't over do it this year with the dunks. That has always plagued the series, waaaay too much dunking in the past. Dunks that played out very acarde-ish in previous versions. And with no sliders in Live 15 this year we are left to depend on the Devs for pretty much everything gameplay wise :-(

- Andrew Wiggins Jerseys??? ........WTF????

Cuz if that's the case you're right that is a shame lol. Sent from my HTC One_M8 using Tapatalk

Seems odd they haven't just blatantly stated how much they've added. I don't mind because it does look decent, but it's obvious more could never hurt this game. They just really need to focus on getting more signature styles if they ever want players to act/look different while controlling.

Btw, if anyone notice the contact on LeBron's dunk? He gets a forearm in the side and it looks more like a natural collision vs. a regular dunk on animation.

And SIM is good as a base, but don't try and tell everyone that's the only way to play. Everyone has their own opinion, and yes, that includes what people would consider SIM.

I've been playing sports games for 10 years and not once did I not play around with the settings and sliders. It's all about options and customization. Would you also like it if they only made the game playable in 12minute quarters? Because that sounds pretty sim to me. What about if they also made it so if a player busted his knee it would take 1 year before you were allowed to play with him again virtually.

I'm all about that SIM. But having options is something we deserve and in my opinion, it's the most realistic way to ensure everyone gets to enjoy the game we all play and love.

NBA 2K "its in the game."
I'm referring to sliders of course.

It's not that I'm against sliders or customization. It's the fact that with all the things added to the game in order to have play and stats that resembles anything SIM I have to tweak and constantly be adjusting sliders. The game should be set by default to give me the most realistic style of play out of the box. Then if they want to add sliders to give people the option to deviate from the most realistic style of play so be it. I think sliders are why developers are content with shipping games like they are out of the box. If I don't have to choose great. If I have to choose between the most accurate representation or sliders so other can play a brand of basketball other than SIM than I'll pass on the sliders.


When I say I don't understand why a game needs sliders. I mean I don't understand why a game needs sliders to give to me the best simulation possible. Since that's all I here the gaming world take about from fans to reviewers to developers I assume that's the mission is to make the best SIM game possible. Sliders IMO are getting in the way of that mission.

+Court Spacing looks great not crowded
+Foot Planting
+Harden Drive
+ Contests look good
+looks fluid and a good pace . Really smooth
+ player faces look pretty detailed (imperfections )
+ waiters reach after getting beat off dribble
+ Kyrie's active defensive stance on Beverly
+Lebrons jumper was very smooth
+every time players collide/touch there's a reaction !
+Player Chatter
+Bigs fighting for position
+Jerseys look good
+Momentum catches , Shots, Contests

- Waiters should have picked up Harden faster on D
-saw Harden's leg clip through Dwight's leg on D
-refs look bland
-lack of off ball movement (screens , cuts )
-Lebron Celebrating early ?
- bigs barely moved at all unless to contest a shot

Overall it doesn't even look like an NBA live game but it looks good and smoother than I thought. They really worked on fundamentals. Hopefully the A.I will attack us like Harden did at the rim. I give the videos 8/10 . As far as graphics looking ps3/360 I don't see that all. The zoomed in moments look exactly like the trailer. I think it's the broadcast view + youtube compression that's throwing people off. You can clearly see who is who unlike last year lol

Looks like a modern version of Live 10 - I like the clips... a lot.
