NBA Live 16 Pro-Am Can Be Quite Fun

[RaychelSnr]

If you’re a developer and want to have sustained success in the genre of sports video games, your plan had better include a robust selection of online gaming modes. While NBA Live 15 mostly lacked such components, the developers have included a new mode in Summer Circuit, and have improved Live Run in Live 16, but are they still worth your time a couple weeks later?

I'm having fun with NBA Live 16 Pro-Am. Haven't had any issues connecting and finding someone to play with.

EA did a great job with this part of the game imo.

What stops Live Run from being an absolute great mode are two different issues. The first is the inability to play consistent interior defense, and the second is the high shooting percentages. Also, if you are playing with teammates who love to hog the ball, or simply have no understanding of the game of basketball, Live Run can be a somewhat frustrating experience. Regardless, if you have four solid teammates who understand their roles and know how to communicate, Live Run has continued to be an awful lot of fun, and it might just prove to be the go-to mode for a lot of NBA Live fans this year and beyond.

Pro Am is definitely the highlight of this years game....and this paragraph pretty much sums it up. Assuming you can find some guys to run with it's a lot fun...

It could even be a lot more fun to run with randoms if there were defense in the mode . Guys have 0 incentive to pass the ball when you can essentially dunk the entire time with no real fear of interior defense or shot blockers...

Tough being a big in this mode...

Well said. Worth it's weight in gold to check W/L records before taking the plunge with other players. Ball hogs almost ALWAYS lose. Let alone have no idea how to play man-on-man defense (for chrissakes, people), and/or rotate.

The thing that NBA Lives Pro-Am got right , is the CPU generated teammates/opponents. With 2K you are forced to find 10 people to play, which is damn near impossible. With Live you only need at least 3 or 4 and the game can start. Because of Lives Pro-Am set up, you can get in multiple games in a short amount of time. You get in , you get out. Live got that aspect of it right.

You can...I was playing with a guy last night who was almost maxed out on shot blocking and we couldn't get near the rim w/o getting swatted.

If you play a game with all players rated 80+ and 90+ youd be pretty surprised how many defensive plays youd see.

Forced a team to miss 4 or 5 layups in a row .. talking about rebound/putbacks

Wish they had this mode sold separately. Strapped for cash right now & as much as I like the other game I prefer Live's Pro-AM much more.

I'm genuinely surprised this game and this part of the game in particular aren't gaining more traction.

The last couple of nights I've been playing Pro-Am.... heaps. Yes there are some flaws but it is real fun and if you play with the right people (not a guarantee) you can get a really solid basketball experience. I'm usually a casual offline guy and this is already the most I've played any sort of on-line mode possibly ever. The game really does an excellent job of encouraging team play and for the first time ever I enjoy hearing the other human players voices trash talking through the screen because it allows people to really call out the few who are ball hogging and and not playing team ball. Team ball really is key in this mode and as a guy who gets enjoyment more out of setting up others for open shots, setting good picks and playing solid D, it's satisfying.

The main problem I've come across (aside from perhaps some unresponsiveness under the hoop) is that there just aren't enough people playing this. Last night I was trying for some Live Run and there were 18 people on-line........... 18. That's terrible. This meant that you'd have to wait around quite a lot and often only have 2V2 human players with AI fill ins. Still fun, but not the same.

C'mon people, give this one a try and start playing some Live Run - it can be a really rewarding experience.

If anyone wants a good team mate (post scorer) who's going to play team ball on PS4 a me 'camhawks'.

When the price drops I'll be copping this just for Pro-AM or maybe when I put enough money to the side. Bills have been killing me but I've enjoyed this Pro-AM more than the other game's purely off the demo.
