Why do they keep coming back for more? That’s all I can think at this point, having spent/wasted/forfeited these past hours of my life trying to balance out my Pro/Con list for NBA Live 15 with enough Pros for it to actually be a Pro/Con list of any respectable sort. NBA Live used to be the best game in town back in the day, even as recently as a couple of PS2 iterations with guys like Jason Kidd (then the point guard on the NBA Finals-bound Nets) gracing the cover. What happened? The series has become a shell of its former self, with its best recent version being the one that was canned prior to its release.

I think it was going to be called NBA Elite, or some nonsense like that. In any event, I had the “opportunity” to have a go at the 2015 edition of NBA Live, and while I’d like to report that the folks over at EA have gotten their mojo back, I’d be lying to you. The truth is, I couldn’t justify telling you to purchase this over the competing NBA 2K15 for half price. So please consider the rest of what I am about to say with that in mind.Let’s start with the component that means the most-in my opinion anyway-to sports titles: gameplay. I did my best to sample all of the various modes of play, from Quick Play, to the create a player Rising Star mode, to Franchise and what I could manage to do with Multiplayer (though to be fair, because the full release has yet to occur, this was understandably difficult to accomplish due to the lack of players in the network).

And while I am certainly willing to give credit to EA for its updated graphical scans and use of the right analog stick (I did my review on the Xbox One) with new player moves, the on court part of the game just feelsweak. Whether on the offensive or defensive side of the ball, mechanics feel clunky and repetitive, ball handling is hit or miss with supposed player-specific moves not always responsive, and shooting not tight at all. Even in the paint, with the supposed “Real Time Physics” engine in play, moves felt limited and defense seemed automatic. Truthfully, the game plays a bit more like an arcade-style hoops game than a basketball simulator of the 2K variety, which would in theory be ok if that is how it advertised itself. But since it doesn’t, they have to be called flaws. Visuals are an improvement from last year’s edition of Live, not that that is saying much, but the players always seem to feel like filled in stick figures as they move, and lack the smoothness and fluidity required for a sports game to feel realistic.

With the all new “scanning and lighting techniques” being promoted by EA all over the place for this one, you would think at least that part of the game would be solid. Sadly, however, it isn’t that great. Even up close, when I had the chance to create a character and get him going in the Rising Star mode, the options for modifying my guy graphically were extremely limited, especially compared to the extensive character modeling that can be accomplished in the similar mode in 2K15. The only bright side of this is that it takes perhaps a quarter of the time to create your player and hit the court, but if you’re like me and have any interest in making your player look like something other than the ten or fifteen canned models, you will almost certainly be left disappointed.Audio is a bit of a mixed bag in Live, as the soundtrack is so-so, and very rap heavy as compared to the eclectic soundtrack of its competitor.

Not that I have anything against rap or hip hop per se, but when the songs and artists sound both dated and unrecognizable in many instances, you have to wonder if this part of the game was just thrown together on the cheap. In game sounds were also lacking, no matter what setting I chose. Things as simple as hearing a ball bouncing on the court is underemphasized to a fault, and detracts from the overall gaming experience. Commentary-wise, I had higher expectations given the inclusion of what should be a solid announcing team of Mike Breen and Jeff Van Gundy from ESPN. Unfortunately, with the exception of some decent canned material for star players, the in game broadcasting is just terrible, with unnecessary breaks in talking to the sort of slow, “and heMAKES the shotwhat a play byAnthony” style you would expect maybe a decade ago, but not now. And while some may think it unfair to continue to compare this game with this year’s 2K title, the fact is that it just does everything better—and audio/commentary is no exception. It is smoother, tighter, and much more realistic than anything offered here.
