NBA LIVE 15 includes 500+ core gameplay improvements, delivering
a truly fluid, fun and authentic basketball gaming experience that
features complete overhauls in passing, shooting and dribbling.
Simplified dribble controls make it easier than ever to pull off
impressive moves, and enhanced passing and player locomotion lead to
more fluid ball movement and better transitions in fast breaks.
Brand-new shot quality and timing feedback systems help players better
understand when they have a good look at the basket, as well as whether
they're releasing the ball too early, too late or right on time. All-new
real-time physics on dunks and layups replicate some of the NBA's most
physical plays.
Reimagined visuals drop you courtside alongside the game's biggest
stars. Digital athletes draw a striking resemblance to their real-world
counterparts, and react with excitement and emotion when big moments
happen on the court. The scanning that makes players look so great has
also been extended to shoes, jerseys, accessories and more, adding a
level of detail never before seen in the series.
The fan-favorite LIVE Seasons mode returns this year, ensuring you'll
never miss a beat during the NBA season with new content updated daily,
all season long. New Hot Spot Challenges within BIG Moments task players
with replicating game-defining moments from real-world NBA games as
closely as possible, while NBA Rewind lets you replay entire contests,
jumping in and out whenever you like. Replicate (or stop) a big run from
last night's marquee matchup, hop in to take the game-winning shot,
replay the entire game from tip-off to final whistle or anything in
between. Content in LIVE Seasons is refreshed throughout the NBA Season,
so there's always something new to do.
"I'm so proud of what our team has accomplished this year, and am very
happy fans are finally getting their chance to play NBA LIVE 15,"
said Executive Producer Sean O'Brien. "We know we've got a lot to prove,
but I think this year's game takes a big step towards getting the NBA
LIVE franchise back to its place as one of the premiere sports video
games out there."
NBA LIVE 15 is developed in Orlando, Florida, by EA Tiburon and
is available now for Xbox One and PlayStation 4. To learn more about NBA
