Kinda surprised you skip over Kobe being rated higher than him. Wade is a bit overrated but Kobe, who hasnt played much in two seasons and wasn't quite himself when playing, being higher is crazy.

Man I am dying to see this game in motion. Screens look really good but still images are only half the story. Most games these days look good in close up stills. The big test is how it looks from a gameplay camera and, more importantly, how the animations look. Still hoping we get a trailer before the demo drops but either way the 15th will be a big make or break day for Live.

If it looks or plays anything like Live did last year there doomed forever. I went back and played last year's demo to see how it handles now and OMG it was bad lol. Idk I think if Live fails this year they need to just focus on madden or go back to doing NBA Street or something cause simulation basketball isn't there thing

I don't get why people are saying this game looks "cartoonish" ... they have to be just trolling. Give me Live's graphics, and 2K's gameplay/features/modes (hell, everything else lol) and you'd have the perfect bball game.

Also, isn't Klay's player model the same as last year?

# 28 lakers24 @ 09/09/15 03:10 PM

That Wade is straight fire (looks the most realistic as well).

# 29 bateman11 @ 09/09/15 03:18 PM

The Wade and Butler screen look incredible. Probably the best lighting I've seen thus far.

Regardless... I still have no idea what to expect as far as gameplay goes. I know we have new pick and roll options and a dribble handoff option but that's about it.

Oh well, only 6 more days and we will find out.

I don't know about these ratings. If I was starting a franchise today i wouldn't pick Kobe, Matthews, or Wade. I think the players below would have a greater impact than Kobe, Matthew's, and Wade at this point: Monte Ellis
DeRozen
Middleton
Reddick
Rudy Gay
Odalipo

Jr smith has a mowhawk Nick young has dreads Klay has a goatee Deroazan has a fro Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

That's funny I played Live 15 earlier today since I have EA Access and I couldn't believe how bad the controls felt. It was like I was playing a game from at least 5 years ago.

Harden should have been mvp but they gave it to curry due to politics. I can name 7-8 guys better than Curry.

Well, if he's at his best position then he's a PF haha.

I personally thought Live 14 and 15 were disasters.

Anyway, to these ratings: Kobe is as high as he is on rep of course (though if he's not good his ratings will tumble quickly, but Wade is a tricky one. He plays 2/3rds of his team's games but he's ultra efficient when he plays, so how do you rate him?

I shouldn't have to wait all year for a game to be playable when I could just pop in 2k

Wow, Kobe's right leg looks like a stick...

I'm a huge NBA Live fan, but really?
