+Jacob Denise Can't agree, unless you spend money on VC then getting better in the game is hard. You can't do any minigames in the menu from the all star break. They really need to fix the server issues and they need to release the attribute caps when doing single player stuff. There isn't even a good tutorial in the game other than showing the controls in the 2kU videos. Heck 2k5 had way more features and no VC to speak of. While way better than 2k15, I still feel like 2k16 isn't anything greater than a 6.5 at the moment.
+LWM9113 That's entirely possible that I do, and that's the problem. It doesn't make an even playing field for people with different skill levels or just casual players.
I bought 2K the other day. I know nothing about Basketball. I don't hate any sport at all. I respect sports and everything they have to offer. I know nothing about basketball because I have Asperger's Syndrome and it's hard for me to understand the rules, hard not impossible. Same with Football. For some reason I was able to pick up on baseball though. That being said, I got 2K16 because I wanted to play something different. Plus it looked really cool. I will say this, boy do I suck. But that's not 2K's fault, just my lack of knowledge of basketball. I should watch some TH-cam videos on how to play basketball. I did learn a few things from playing. I will say that for someone like me who doesn't know how to play really, it looks like a fun game.
+Andrew Krantz www.reddit.com/r/NBA2k/comments/3n7fqw/noob_needs_a_tutorial_badly/cvli67h Here's something I wrote up about a month ago. I have autism as well so this might help you out.
Have to say, love just picking up and playing NBA Live 16. The online play is smooth and a lot of fun too. With Live, don't need to spend hours tweaking sliders. Just turn it on, and play.
For rookies in basketball games (like me). It helps a little bit so we can choose where to spend our bucks. Specially if we can't try the two games. And ratings don't actually help like with the long Fifa/PES debate
Playing either game as a sim is up to the user. neither one has the upper hand when it comes to simulating the NBA. As far as I'm concerned, using simulation as a key category is ridiculous.
+Envyerz There are sliders made precisely for that point. There is no reason you should ridicule a game for something that is fixed with pressing triangle and then picking out an uploaded slider set.
+XtremeGamer787 everybody playing 2k16 because their graphics, but their gameplay is cheese ass fuck. 2k mind control us to buy the game. Seem like right now graphics is the number one thing to get costumers.
I am not a basketball fan at all but i saw these 2 games at my friend's house and the only thing i can say is that 2K16 is much better than NBA LIVE 2016 and it looks and plays like a real basketball game. As a football fan it reminds me how shit is FIFA16 in comparing to PES 2016. NBA LIVE 2016= FIFA 16 =CRAP! 2K16 = PES 2016 = GREAT!
+terrance garner Yes, i went in to see the game aspects differences such as : graphics and physics, to compare to what we have in football, a gamer curiosity
+Jaden Davis Soccer my ass!! football!! you americans think that you own this word "football" , there is a real football (messi) and there a american or australian football,got it? The real football came to the world much earlier than your game,so relax.
I'm sorry. But you just lost my attention when you said 2K's presentation is not on par with Live's. 2K has an entire pre, halftime, and post game show. And than you said 2K is not a simulation. Are you sure you've played the game yourself?
I know this is like 5 years late but like Live literally has ESPN presentation. And that is also part of the graphics with how the courts look, the lighting effects, and the halftime show where it's basically like a SportCenter type thing. Though the whole Ernie, Shaq, and Kenny thing is great, mainly only good as the intro to a matchup versus the halftime portion.
I got 2K on my PC and it looks absolutely beautiful. The colors are vibrant which I really like, the courts look really realistic and the sound and commentary is amazing. One thing I noticed was that the background graphics such as a look out the window in MyCareer gym I can see that not a lot of detail was put into the outside world. I still love the game though, and the players look really realistic, the beads of sweat really look real and so do the tattoos.
+Patatø are you joking? 2k has the cartoony graphics compared to live. Look up a graphic comparison between 2k and live but I do think 2k is the better game.
A solid video, I feel more time was spent on live then 2k but live disappeared for so many years (11,12,13,14) that I can understand. I don't play video games like I used to but this is good to know.
7:25 - NBA 2k man, as I love live as a younger kid...2k has the spot. I never paid much attention to the graphics until now, but man Live 16 is making a huuuge comeback. Mechanics and gameplay is vastly superior on 2k16, but as from the elite 11 and Jesus bynum incident...live came a long way. love the presentation on live and always will
Nba live was good in its prime but Nba 2k has been Dominating the game for 16 years now but I did own all the nba live games and it was a hit but 2k is just Flawless
If you think 2k is flawless you have no clue what that word means, the cpu in 2k is way to cheap and bullshit, they will do whatever they want to do in order for them to win and that includes exploiting the game itself, they will make every contested shot while they won't let you make open ones, that is the number one thing holding 2k back
+BrothaGoneBased Yea I get what you sayin bro lol the 1st and 2nd Saints Row games was nice but compared to GTA it ain't shit. Simple and plain bro GTA can put Saints Row outta business and the same goes with 2k and live.
That's because 2k16 is the worst 2k game made. It is clearly a highway robbery, the only useable part of the game is the gm part and that's if you don't wanna design shit cause if you do you'll probably have to buy shit
While I appreciate how critical you were about Live, I think you let 2K off the hook. The gameplay in 2K15 was horrible and if 2K16 is anything like it then this review dropped the ball. The defense in 2K, the passing, and the slow response of player to commands makes the game considerably less enjoyable. Players in 2K move like they are in quicksand. Having said all that, I still like 2K. I just don't feel like VC should be let off the hook for making games with horrible gameplay and control.
Just to update you Envyerz, the reason "Sir Charles" isn't in the recreation of Inside The NBA, for NBA 2k16, is because he didn't permit them to use his likeness in the video game. WHY, I have no idea. I suspect he wanted a hefty of money from Visual Concepts, and no agreement was reached, and they perhaps just decided to go forward without Barkley, but that's the deal dude. Charles Barkley WILL NOT sign a contract to permit his likeness to be used in the game. Damn shame, because he is soooo entertaining, especially with him and Shaq going back and forth. Oh well, that's life in the "green" lane.
i play 2k16 park alot and ive seen hella bs if you do a driving layup sometimes your arm glitches through the board and also with all this bullshit like demigods and speed boosting 2k16 catching Ls
I do like in either GM mode or my league mode is that even during mid season if there's a trade is real life you can easily make the trades happen in each mode by either turning on force trade or turn off Financial. Makes is so you don't lose cap. That's awesome
+Omega idc bout y'all kids opinions don't tag me. we all different I like 2k better personally myself but THATS ME. idc bout y'all or what you think 💯 keep it to yourself
Louis Izrich, Jason Kidd on the cover, however really the one with Vince Carter on the cover when freestyle first came out, then 09 with freestyle superstar mode, and the dunk competition. From the start NBA LIVE was always the gameplay once you learn how to play it, yes sometimes you have to read or watch the tutorial video it's not just a game it's LIVE. Then again if the game was affecting social economics changing everything for the masses is cool. So they made an easy play arcade game 2k.
nba live has stepped up in recent years and live 16 just showed how big the improvements are over last years live. even though ea isnt on the same level as 2k yet, its closer then ever before with live 16 and thats saying alot compared to where live was a couple years ago.
the only things I liked more in LIVE than 2K were the crowds (they look amazingly realistic and create a great atmosphere, I mean really really sounds and looks amazing to me), game modes, and the customization for your myplayer (people have asked for years for the simplest things like changing sock lengths and being able to have the same hair styles and accessories that are already in the game on other players. example is the compression pants many players wear, they can't be worn by your myplayer but can be put onto created players in edited rosters so why can't you equip them in mycareer?).
I have both games and I honestly think 2K us a better choice. It may be pricier and what have you, but it is worth it! I know all those people are gonna say, "2K is bad, the MyCareer sucks, etc." But if you actually get into the game modes and the rosters and see all the options that you have, then you will realize that 2K is better.
2k16 made jump shooting ridiculously difficult, like I get it trying to be more realistic, but sports games are played so you can have fun, not imitate real life to the fullest. People are starting to hate FIFA because its becoming harder and harder to score, leading to duller games. The whole point of buying a football game is to score goals and have fun. Likewise with NBA shooting being nerfed a little in 2k16 really put me off the game for a while. Also 2k removed so many fun features from 2k15. Like playing custom 1on1s or 3on3s with teams like the historic bulls 1995-96 and the 1999-00 lakers.
You talk bullshit about fifa ....EA use EXACTLY the same arcady system on fifa like on NBA live ! PES is like 2K an fifa is like live ...the difference is 2k have all the licenses and it's basketball
2k16 graphics are way better then most games. When you zoom into a player you can see the individual sweats!! The facial expressions ETC. this game is the best game we have rn. Maybe your playing it on an Xbox one. It's a great game overall and the best out right now. Nothing can beat it.
I played both NBA 2K17 and NBA Live 16 today and Live graphically definitely looks better. I would say the commentary in NBA 2K17 is better. It just had a more natural flow and is less repetitive. I like the soundtracks of both with Live maybe edging out 2K17.
I gotta admit. 2k16 seems very solid this year...considering how 2k12-15 were. find MyTeam is fun for a change, and MyCareer a lot more vast. The Pro-Am & MyPark are great, although what's in the park can be a bitch when you start. But most importantly I feel like when I win, it won, when I lose (which is rarely ;) ) I feel like I got beat. That's wasn't the case with 2k14 & 15 especially! I like the new post game, it's a little hard to get each and every move but if you know your player you can definitely take advantage on the block with a good big. 2k16 gets my vote for sure, big jump for 2K and I can't stress enough the advantage of getting more control in nearly every aspect (as opposed to where everything is just a series of 2 second animations)
other people are stealing your style? because you were the first person to ever do a comparison vid? didn't really get that part but solid video overall
why is it that 2k expects you to already know how to play the game? being a newcomer it lacked in providing tutorials for basic skills and advanced though live had a bunch of tutorials to play and practice through not just showing videos and it really helped me get into the game to compete against pros. i hope 2K provides more in this area in 17
2K is.better because of the career mode and they have u make the decisions like shoe brand,contracts,jersey,etc. But Live just chooses face and hair and body related details,and give you Jordans. But Jordans are getting to original. Nikes,Addidas,and Jordans, Under Armour.
good review, i was thinking on trying LIVE out because I was always a LIVE fan, but Im going to stick with 2k...the only things I hate about 2k, is that 1-the player respond slow to the controllers 2-to get a realistic type game you have to play 10min+ per quarter (some people have real jobs and dont have time AKA me) and 3- the servers and online play is fukin awful, I dont get it, NBA Live 10 has better online gameplay than 2k16 but overall for now...I prefer 2k, very fun and good looking game.
Will never understand all of the hype behind 2K. Year after year, I see the same issues and yet see them messing with things that don't need to be messed with. 2K16 was a 5 out of 10 at best. Everything was great except for the gameplay itself which is obviously the most important aspect.. but as long as everyone keeps falling for the flashy presentation and nice looking trailers, the same problems will continue.
Its simple. 2K's "The Park" is easily the best sports video game mode ever and Live isn't even close. It blows my mind that anyone would see it otherwise.
Not only is 2k better but you should support 2k either way. EA are scammers in the big picture of game companies with minimal improvements to all their game series just so they can milk their franchise games to the full.
To me 2k is better mainly because it gets me hype because it feels like im in there like how when you destroy a team in their home court the building is nearly empty. One thing about live i like is the face scan it looks nice
One thing I've always hated with 2k is that you have to use VC to get equipment like headbands. In Live you can just plop them on your player. The equipment doesn't mean anything and doesn't affect anything. Why make me use the same shit that I have to use to upgrade my player to buy equipment to toss on my player. It's ridiculous.
Jeramiah Paul... No challenge in 2k as far as real game time plays and situations, hands down you can even play an old NBA Live version and get better game play. I s there something you like to point out....
excellent video but now that it's out or they're both out what do you think is better because you never said which one you think is better I'd like to know your opinion because I don't own either game but I played both and I would say like 2K better but that's just my opinion some girl that likes basketball so let me know what's up but great great video appreciate the time and great speech it's like it was almost written down but you knew exactly how to say it fluently I'd like you to make more videos like with other games like Doom gameplay online versus a like Call of Duty or stuff like that alright thank you oh one more thing what do you think about NBA mobile live because obviously it's not like a console game it's nowhere near as good but it is very fun in my opinion so what do you think thanks
swagger573, exactly my point people don't want to learn how to ball on the game like real life they just want to see cool stuff and win... numbers don't lie. If you don't know how to ball in real life or now about the real game 9 times out 10 you're buying 2k, which game do you have fun with today's generation, the one I don't have to learn to play. p.s. shooting sideways is actually a trick shoot... i.e. Chris paul, Kobe, Dwade Wade etc... just one of many moves. Learn how to play before you try and down grade the game. If you learn how to play NBA Live, it's like you're on the court .
Played both, it's clear as day.
2k's is lightyears better than Live. It's not even close.
2k = 9/10
Live = 4.5/10
I agree
+Jacob Denise 2K 9/10? GTFO 2K IS NOT A 9 THIS YEAR.
+Jacob Denise Can't agree, unless you spend money on VC then getting better in the game is hard. You can't do any minigames in the menu from the all star break.

+LWM9113 That's entirely possible that I do, and that's the problem. It doesn't make an even playing field for people with different skill levels or just casual players.

I really like NBA live, and it's just fun for me even if it's not the best in the market.
ik same
Me too
same here, its just fun for me

thats why i enjoy it :)

Only thing live does better is face scan
and it's more like the real NBA
and accessories
true
the way you shoot is better if u ask me
Lmfaooo the only good facescan is CP3 literally thats it. Everyone else looks like cartoons
I think 2k is still better, but you can't doubt the massive improvements live has made through the years and should catch up with 2k soon.
Have to say, love just picking up and playing NBA Live 16. The online play is smooth and a lot of fun too. With Live, don't need to spend hours tweaking sliders. Just turn it on, and play.
2k5> nba live 16
+BrothaGoneBased lol it's a joke live has improved but it's still got a long way to go
Chris Rodriguez I know its a joke. There are people who really think like that though. Just refuse to try new things
+BrothaGoneBased after playing the live demo for weeks, live has a lot to learn compared to 2K
Paladin Well after playing and seeing 2k they also still have a lot to learn.
BrothaGoneBased but compared to LIVE, its not a comparison
2k16 is way better then live
Yep

In terms of Bullshit-o-Meter, 2k is so low there.
+XℲsouǝX hahaha ya right nba live is GARBAGE !!!! shit story mode game play is horrible only thing they have I'd decent graphics that's it.
+Walter Barrios 2k is better in everything else, but 2k takes the cake in terms of bullshit moments
Live has been dead since 2003.
2K has been dominant since 2000.
Catch up guys, this comparison is long dead.
agree with you
Live was better than 2k at the beginning of the 2000's but that changed dramatically in 05
+Bonk Caesar nba live 06 was good too, until in nba 2k7 just destroyed ea's anus and still is
thank you live is just trash and 2k is jjst to awesome

+Cole Trane 2K16 sold 4Mil in 1 month while live 16 sold 8k 😂😂😂😂
+Nikee Ttg any thing we say is our opinion ...
I do like in either GM mode or my league mode is that even during mid season if there's a trade is real life you can easily make the trades happen in each mode by either turning on force trade or turn off Financial. Makes is so you don't lose cap. That's awesome
live look like a remastered version of a ps2 game
dude I started in 2k 8 I grew up with it and I think it's the best basketball game I've ever played and it will stay that way
live has horrible graphics but it seem real cuz of the NBA intro but it still don't compare to 2k
You don't know what your talking about
+DeathByToxic nba live is trash 2k is way better
Yeah plus the 2k Arena Atmosphere is shit compared to Live.
+Omega idc bout y'all kids opinions don't tag me. we all different I like 2k better personally myself but THATS ME. idc bout y'all or what you think 💯 keep it to yourself
very good job dude, keep it up!!!!
id rather have espn commentary over 2k's bullshit
Mike breen sounds robotic, I really wish he didn't sound like that at all. Van Gundy is on point though
Tank Dempsey I just said it's terrible but the way Van Gundy talks (not the dialogue) is on point.
Louis Izrich, Jason Kidd on the cover, however really the one with Vince Carter on the cover when freestyle first came out, then 09 with freestyle superstar mode, and the dunk competition. From the start NBA LIVE was always the gameplay once you learn how to play it, yes sometimes you have to read or watch the tutorial video it's not just a game it's LIVE. Then again if the game was affecting social economics changing everything for the masses is cool. So they made an easy play arcade game 2k.
nba 2k16 is way better than nba live 16
Great video!!!
I don't know why, but I kind of like Nba Live 16 better than Nba 2k16. Anyone else?
+MrKay Tastrophe you are crazy dude
Afonso Barradas
Lol, everyone has their opinions.
craaaazyyyyyy
Nba lut is where it's at
i like live because of the courts you can go to, like you can play in a gym
nba live has stepped up in recent years and live 16 just showed how big the improvements are over last years live. even though ea isnt on the same level as 2k yet, its closer then ever before with live 16 and thats saying alot compared to where live was a couple years ago.
Lives gameplay is worse then 2k in 04 it's crazy 2k is SO MUCH BETTER!!
true
Avery Bane opposite. ..
i love the intro and the ESPN thing and dribbling and 2k16 i like the intro with the pregame show, the gameplat, passing/shooting,
mannn I just finish playing this shit tbh it's nice asf it's more fun then 2k in my opinion I enjoyed this game it does a lot that 2k doesn't💯
Facts
Hey,the only thing I like about Live is the Pro-Am it's like the most liked mode in live16
the only things I liked more in LIVE than 2K were the crowds (they look amazingly realistic and create a great atmosphere, I mean really really sounds and looks amazing to me), game modes, and the customization for your myplayer (people have asked for years for the simplest things like changing sock lengths and being able to have the same hair styles and accessories that are already in the game on other players. example is the compression pants many players wear, they can't be worn by your myplayer but can be put onto created players in edited rosters so why can't you equip them in mycareer?).
2k is far better than live
in bullshit gameplay
+XℲsouǝX ur prob butthurt cuz u play live lmaaao
***** No, I'm truthful, because I played 2K.
I have both games and I honestly think 2K us a better choice. It may be pricier and what have you, but it is worth it! I know all those people are gonna say, "2K is bad, the MyCareer sucks, etc." But if you actually get into the game modes and the rosters and see all the options that you have, then you will realize that 2K is better.
nba live is da best
Lol your a Eugene
L
What 2k blows live out the water
W
no
2k16 made jump shooting ridiculously difficult, like I get it trying to be more realistic, but sports games are played so you can have fun, not imitate real life to the fullest. People are starting to hate FIFA because its becoming harder and harder to score, leading to duller games. The whole point of buying a football game is to score goals and have fun. Likewise with NBA shooting being nerfed a little in 2k16 really put me off the game for a while. Also 2k removed so many fun features from 2k15. Like playing custom 1on1s or 3on3s with teams like the historic bulls 1995-96 and the 1999-00 lakers.
Actually that's exactly what licenced sports game are made for. To simulate real life as much as possible.
And that's why they have difficulty settings?
Agreed. That's why I play PES '06, TIF '05 and... NBA 2k14 (cant go classic all the way)
You talk bullshit about fifa ....EA use EXACTLY the same arcady system on fifa like on NBA live ! PES is like 2K an fifa is like live ...the difference is 2k have all the licenses and it's basketball
Bro calm down! That why they have different difficulties you idiot!!!
2k16 graphics are way better then most games. When you zoom into a player you can see the individual sweats!! The facial expressions ETC. this game is the best game we have rn. Maybe your playing it on an Xbox one. It's a great game overall and the best out right now. Nothing can beat it.
I played both NBA 2K17 and NBA Live 16 today and Live graphically definitely looks better. I would say the commentary in NBA 2K17 is better. It just had a more natural flow and is less repetitive. I like the soundtracks of both with Live maybe edging out 2K17.
I gotta admit. 2k16 seems very solid this year...considering how 2k12-15 were. find MyTeam is fun for a change, and MyCareer a lot more vast. The Pro-Am & MyPark are great, although what's in the park can be a bitch when you start. But most importantly I feel like when I win, it won, when I lose (which is rarely ;) ) I feel like I got beat. That's wasn't the case with 2k14 & 15 especially! I like the new post game, it's a little hard to get each and every move but if you know your player you can definitely take advantage on the block with a good big.
2k16 gets my vote for sure, big jump for 2K and I can't stress enough the advantage of getting more control in nearly every aspect (as opposed to where everything is just a series of 2 second animations)
to make the best nba game ever we must combine them.
Graphics: NBA live
timing release: NBA 2k
Animation: NBA 2k
the rest is up to 2k
5:14 iguodala unbelievable shot
other people are stealing your style? because you were the first person to ever do a comparison vid? didn't really get that part but solid video overall
why is it that 2k expects you to already know how to play the game? being a newcomer it lacked in providing tutorials for basic skills and advanced though live had a bunch of tutorials to play and practice through not just showing videos and it really helped me get into the game to compete against pros. i hope 2K provides more in this area in 17
Go to your settings or options and there's tutorial videos.
+BallinButler the tutorial videos are not in depth enough to play competitive it sucks
You are definitely a good Basketball game reviewer
2K is.better because of the career mode and they have u make the decisions like shoe brand,contracts,jersey,etc. But Live just chooses face and hair and body related details,and give you Jordans. But Jordans are getting to original. Nikes,Addidas,and Jordans, Under Armour.
live was the best NBA game now it's dead
Live has a better halftime show simply because it goes more in detail about the individual play from the first half
good review, i was thinking on trying LIVE out because I was always a LIVE fan, but Im going to stick with 2k...the only things I hate about 2k, is that 1-the player respond slow to the controllers 2-to get a realistic type game you have to play 10min+ per quarter (some people have real jobs and dont have time AKA me) and 3- the servers and online play is fukin awful, I dont get it, NBA Live 10 has better online gameplay than 2k16 but overall for now...I prefer 2k, very fun and good looking game.
Will never understand all of the hype behind 2K. Year after year, I see the same issues and yet see them messing with things that don't need to be messed with. 2K16 was a 5 out of 10 at best. Everything was great except for the gameplay itself which is obviously the most important aspect.. but as long as everyone keeps falling for the flashy presentation and nice looking trailers, the same problems will continue.
Its simple. 2K's "The Park" is easily the best sports video game mode ever and Live isn't even close. It blows my mind that anyone would see it otherwise.
nba live 05 was the last basketball game I played a lot, dunk contest in that game was awesome
Not only is 2k better but you should support 2k either way. EA are scammers in the big picture of game companies with minimal improvements to all their game series just so they can milk their franchise games to the full.
To me 2k is better mainly because it gets me hype because it feels like im in there like how when you destroy a team in their home court the building is nearly empty. One thing about live i like is the face scan it looks nice
Both games are playable. I like ranking up my player in every game mode like in nba live
the curry animation in 2k16 is so good
One thing I've always hated with 2k is that you have to use VC to get equipment like headbands. In Live you can just plop them on your player. The equipment doesn't mean anything and doesn't affect anything. Why make me use the same shit that I have to use to upgrade my player to buy equipment to toss on my player. It's ridiculous.
The only thing I like on NBA Live 16 is that you can wear any shoes you want on offline but on 2k16 offline you can't and that suck
Well done and informative.
Saying this NBA 2k16 isn't a simulation basketball game is the worst opinion I ever heard in my life
NBA 2k = Best Graphics and gameplay (Best Musics 2k9, 2k10, 2k11, 2k12, 2k13, 2k14)
NBA Live = Best Musics, game modes, and Controls
What old feature did they make new again cuz play now online has always been n 2k???
the biggest what if is graphics of nba live 16 and the animations, commentators of nba 2k16 lol
What about the accuracy of the stadiums or how realistic the crowd looks or sounds?
Jeramiah Paul... No challenge in 2k as far as real game time plays and situations, hands down you can even play an old NBA Live version and get better game play. I s there something you like to point out....
Honestly I watch a lot of 2k videos and from what I can see live has pretty good and smooth animations
excellent video but now that it's out or they're both out what do you think is better because you never said which one you think is better I'd like to know your opinion because I don't own either game but I played both and I would say like 2K better but that's just my opinion some girl that likes basketball so let me know what's up but great great video appreciate the time and great speech it's like it was almost written down but you knew exactly how to say it fluently I'd like you to make more videos like with other games like Doom gameplay online versus a like Call of Duty or stuff like that alright thank you oh one more thing what do you think about NBA mobile live because obviously it's not like a console game it's nowhere near as good but it is very fun in my opinion so what do you think thanks
I just brought Live 16 and about to play it, I've had 2K16 for 4 days and have already fell in love with it. should I return my live 16?
swagger573, exactly my point people don't want to learn how to ball on the game like real life they just want to see cool stuff and win... numbers don't lie. If you don't know how to ball in real life or now about the real game 9 times out 10 you're buying 2k, which game do you have fun with today's generation, the one I don't have to learn to play. p.s. shooting sideways is actually a trick shoot... i.e. Chris paul, Kobe, Dwade Wade etc... just one of many moves. Learn how to play before you try and down grade the game. If you learn how to play NBA Live, it's like you're on the court .
Remember when we thought that nba live was a contender at nba 2k16
I like gaming but when it comes to basketball I'd rather play it for real and break a sweat. It's more fun imo.
