Played the demo on ea access the guys on here that think it is better then 2k are crazy. Game just does not fell right shooting broken animations bust. Game is a 4 at best. crowd is best thing good job EA.

I'd give it a 6,75.

The game already feels much better after the first patch. An open jumper with a great release isn't a given anymore. The same goes for a contested shot with a slightly late release, which won't result in an automatic miss. The ambience is amazing with proper arena lightning that accurately mimics every nuance of their real life counterparts (one of the few areas where the other game totally missed the point this year) and their signature sounds and chants. I love the cameras this year as well but we need to see much more ESPN integration next year.

Still, the overall feel of the game needs to be more organic. It shows flashes when the physics engine triggers in the lane. Overall, as a huge fan of the game (as well as the other one) I'm happy with this year's effort and definitely looking forward for even more fine tuning via the next patches (WE NEED A PLAYER EDITOR FUNCTION).

Can't wait for LIVE 16.

I would also give it at least a 6.5. For overall fun factor, regardless of the problems, I give it an 8.0. Online is extremely fun, I Played 5 head to heads this morning and nobody quit and we played down to the last second and nobody seemed to cheese either, not to mention it was lag free. For fun factor, I think Live should get more kudos. Ill be playing this all year. Can't wait for 16.

When I first played this game, I didn't like it much. But it took me like 5 games or so to really see how deep it really is. It's got a LOT of good aspects that are setting a foundation for next year and I think it will be very very good next year.

The more I play....the more FUN I'm having!!! No it can't compete with 2k regarding strategy and game-play. 2k is better across the board....but my goodness in NBA Live fun!!! The more I try to play 2k...because it is the better game by far....I tell myself I will not play Live again - because I'm a SIM guy. But the FUN FACTOR keeps calling me back! Man....NBA Live is fun!!!!!

Well....after a few weeks now. THe crowd and atmosphere is awsome...but the LACK of a complete game (compared to NBA 2k15) has worn on me. All of a sudden I can deal with the somewhat mellow 2k15 crowd. Actually...that is the ONLY thing NBA Live really has on 2k15.
