    Figured I would stray from 2k and try out this game, worst decision ever. To start, My Career is a joke, your player starts off being able to drop 20ppg easily. The rating system for your performance regularly doesn't count assists, rebounds or other things. You get no points for helping on defense, you can't switch your man on defense and the AI won't go help to cover your man if youFigured I would stray from 2k and try out this game, worst decision ever.

You get no points for helping on defense, you can't switch your man on defense and the AI won't go help to cover your man if you break off to double team someone. The AI in general absolutely suck, most teams stand around until the shot clock has 4 seconds left and then either huck up a shot or drive. Oh, you can't miss if you drive either, my player is literally 6'1" and I haven't missed a layup yet. It's literally impossible to get open unless you call for a screen, and if you miss a contested shot (basically every 3-pointer) you lose points in the system. This game is trash, the camera angles suck and the graphics suck. Most of the players faces look like they've been hit with a shovel and then stuck in an oven. I literally made this account to give this review so that you don't make the same mistake I did. Oh yeah, and passing through 3 players is pretty easy, except when your teammate is wide open, then it gets intercepted. The game freezes constantly too. Customization compared to 2k is non-existent.… Expand

    Ill keep this brief EA sports is terrible as of last 2 years and nba live has been terrible that last 2 years. Sure graphics have improved since the last outing but the game almost plays the same as live 14. I still have more fun playing Nba live 10. A threat to 2k?, not but a long shot. In Canada they want $70 for this peice of crap. Sorry no Ill stick with live 10 and Nba 2k at leastIll keep this brief EA sports is terrible as of last 2 years and nba live has been terrible that last 2 years.

    This game is pure I meant pure trash I am so glad that I purchased a used copy then returned it back to Gamestop. This game is sad purely sad that someone one would spend their hard earned money on this piece of crap game. The players look nothing like real NBA players plus the graphics look very out dated the only good thing about this game is the half time show but who cares about thatThis game is pure I meant pure trash I am so glad that I purchased a used copy then returned it back to Gamestop. This game is sad purely sad that someone one would spend their hard earned money on this piece of crap game.

EA please stop making live game 2 more years of this type of game. Get real you suck if you buy this game. Go spend your money on NBA 2k or COD advanced warfare. Worst game of the year for sure. I am giving it a 2 because the halftime show is great but this game stinks. Run as far as you can from this dumb game it's 2014 going on 2015 who wants to buy a game that looks like trash. I would use this game as a soda coaster.… Expand

    While its core modes are shallower than the competition, NBA Live 15 is breezy and fun to play on the court. [Jan 2015, p.82]

    Boring. Abysmal. Buy NBA 2K15. [Issue#118, p.83]

    NBA Live may still not be the best virtual game of basketball out there, but it is certainly worth a look if you are hoping to change up your game, as it looks great, has tons of modes, and is fun to play to boot.
