While everyone loves rooting for a championship team, savvy fans know that there is joy to be found even if your club / franchise may not be contending for it all. Watching young players come up through the ranks and blossom, losing tough games that will help them learn for next time, and seeing...

Much improved on-ball gameplay; Great crowd and stadium atmosphere; Easy to pick up and play

Commentary is very stale; Modes lack variety; Has online issues

NBA Live 14 was absolutely horrible last year. I know EA Sports, and EA Tiburon hate to lose. They seriously stepped up their game in NBA Live 15. As this basketball franchise is increasing, NBA 2K15 took major steps backwards. What does that mean for NBA Live 15?

NBA Live 15 makes some key improvements, but this franchise still doesn't feel quite ready for prime time.

I've been a fan of NBA live series since 1995 and haven't really played a whole lot since 2K really took over. I was a little sketchy purchasing after the poor reviews of NBA Live 14 but decided to give it a go when it was on sale.

I love the smooth authentic gameplay, has some minor issues like all sport games, but I have to it's better than 2K, from the player faces to the courts are great looking, and ultimate team is also fun to play also.

I didn't give it to the person. I returned it to the store...I ordered the wrong game.

Although 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...

Pick & Roll; Improved Visuals

Weird Shot Timing; Clumsy Controls; Stiff Animationss

EA's return to basketball last year felt like a labor of obligation, shabbily patched together and pushed out the door. If this year's goal were simply "make a better game," NBA Live 15 checks that box--but that doesn't make it a good basketball experience.

Players look good up close; Enough features to keep you busy for dozens of hours

Unrefined shooting; Defense is boring and often too easy; Looks dated in motion

NBA Live took great strides in game play this year. Although, graphically 2K has EA beat (which is rare), EA has such a good handle on the game play; especially the passing and shooting mechanics.

Great service great product!!
