After the atrocious game that was Live 14, and the slight improvement in 15, I just had a feeling that 16 would be great. 2K16 has tons of glitches and is simply overrated. A real consumer would buy both games, and have some variety. I thought that the Alley Oops in this game were really bad, that was until they patched it about 2 days after people noticed it as a big problem. Just like how they also fixed the free throw glitch A DAY after it became an issue. The animation is A LOT more fluid than last years. There aren't a lot of locked animations which improved the game a lot for me. There are tons of player set animations, for example Harden stirring the pot, or Westbrook doing his signature celebration. Prp-AM and Summer Circuit are really fun modes to play. It's not just something to play when you're bored, no you literally want to keep on playing. The only thing that I think would've further excelled this game would be ALL-STAR WEEKEND. THE *CLASSIC* NBA Live All-Star Weekend. I'm looking at a 5.2 for the user score right now. But this game deserves at least a 8.8 for the tons of improvement and the fact that they listened to us, the fans. It just so happens that we have a lot of followers in this world. Nobody in their right mind would buy 2K year after year, the repetitive product. Live is a big win for me, and I'll be playing this until Live 17 is released. A perfect 10 in my book.… Full Review »

I love sim,As a casual gamer, i like to be able to play a game and have fun without having to need to have the brain of an actual athelete. I love sim, but i wany to have fun as well, and i find a great balance of that with NBA Live. Though thier offline modes leave some to be desired, i cannot stop playing online Pro am, mostly when i have a team of like minded players. Great job EA, looking forward to nex year… Full Review »
