IGN - NBA Live 15 Review

Although NBA Live 15 looks significantly better than NBA Live 14 at a glance, it still suffers from clumsy controls and stiff animations. A few nice changes and additional game modes can’t make up for poor gameplay, but there are some great ideas here that just don’t get a chance to shine, like the pick & roll and the ESPN license. All in all, NBA Live doesn’t feel as hopeless as it did a year ago, but hope doesn’t make a good basketball game. Practice those fundamentals!

Damn! Sunset overdrive was a good choice.

StormLegend3526d ago

You mean NBA2K15 was a good choice! what does SSO have to do with Basketball?

MrSwankSinatra3526d ago

I'm pretty sure he is implying that he almost bought NBA Live 15 over Sunset Overdrive. He possibly lamented the choice until the reviews came and shown that NBA live is still hot garbage. Therefore DAMN! Sunset Overdrive ended up being a good choice.

Gee, if they can give this a 5.5, why can't they do the same to Madden? Why does Madden get a free pass when they haven't changed much for years?

lsujester3526d ago

Madden is still a decent football game, even the core gameplay doesnt change much. Live is a pile of crap printed to a disc.

KwietStorm_BLM3526d ago

It's not about what hasn't changed. I'm not saying Madden gets any pass, but Live has just been a terrible game for a while now. Madden is not a terrible game. It might be stagnant, but Live was so bad that it got cancelled. An annual sports game actually got cancelled to retool, and this is the result lol..

Deividas3526d ago (Edited 3526d ago )

Yup. That seems about right.

Animations are still its biggest issue...Just doesn't feel right...really really stiff.

XanderZane3526d ago

Oh lord, what happened here? EA gives us another NBA Live flop? I'll have to read other reviews for this game. I wouldn't pay full price for it anyways.

I agree totally regarding the EA games on sale, just grab EA Access. Great value.

roguedragon13302d ago

Sale So disappointing again thought they would step up leading to E3. hopefully better deals on playstation.

neil3633302d ago

Saving it all for next week perhaps?

RiPPn3302d ago

Since the Xbox One launch Microsoft sales have been garbage.. I have $30 expiring in 2 weeks that I'm probably going to have to spend on full price content because of how lame these sales are. Hoping for an Ori sale next week during E3.

Dirtnapstor3302d ago

Your $$$ do not expire regardless of your Live status. Just pay by the month, first month is a free trial before payments begin. Usually available through your PC, not the dashboard.

Nba Live 15 is in The Vault Right now for all EA Access Members

EA's NBA Live is currently available to access members. The announcement was made via EA Access twitter feed.

Best 2.50/month I have ever spent on gaming related items. Love the continuously expanding, playing games early, (as well as being able to try before I buy) and a 10% doscount on all ea content. No brainer.

4Sh0w3407d ago

Yeah I got it....I dont buy many sports games anymore but its nice to check out some of these EA games I wouldn't have played otherwise. The discounts on other EA games I like really makes this service pay for itself.

EA Access is worth it specifically for Plants vs Zombies: Garden Warfare.

Everything else is the Bonus.

getrektedmate3407d ago

And who said it wasn't "good value".... Cough * sony *cough

Fro_xoxo3407d ago (Edited 3407d ago )

That's nice :)

Make fifa 15 available in the vault, then you got me.

I ain't paying €70 just to play one game mode versus my buddies.

thrust3407d ago (Edited 3407d ago )

There are loads of game you get for the £20, I do not think you have an xbox one.

jon3sy93407d ago

yeh best £20 iv spent, well worth it :)

StrayaKNT3407d ago

I was going back and forth on whether or not i should buy this game. EA access is truly the best subscription service.

NBA Live 15 Coming to EA Access

Last year's entry in the NBA Live series, NBA Live 15, is being added to the EA Access subscription service on Xbox One, according to an image on the Xbox website.

getrektedmate3418d ago

I love EA Access! Sucks that PS4 and PC gamers can't get this service. Anyways I'm glad I own the Xbox One!

Foehammer3418d ago

What a great value EA Access is

hello123418d ago (Edited 3418d ago )

Really that fairly new game to be honest Ea Access is one of the best features on x box 1. 30 Euros a year can't go wrong it worth owning a x box 1 for this alone.
