NBA Live 15 Gameplay Improvements: Offense
EA Sports has released a video introducing the some new gameplay improvements for upcoming NBA Live 15.
The video focuses on the improvements made on the offensive play in this basketball simulation game.
EA has said that NBA Live 15 will have meaningful improvements made in shooting, dribbling, passing, fast breaks, pick and rolls and play-calling.
Following are the improvements mentioned on the official website:
- AI to run a proper fast break by filling their proper lanes.
- A feedback system that shows if screeners will pick, pop or roll to the rim for a bucket has been added.
- Play-calling has been simplified, allowing players to call quick action plays at the press of a button. This will get your players moving on offense by setting screens, cutting to the basket, or getting to open spots on the floor.
- Shot Timing is displayed in the top left corner of the screen as either Early, Slightly Early, Great, Slightly Late, or Late. You want to release your shot at the top of your player's shooting animation for the best result.
- The outer ring shows a player's shot rating from different areas on the court. The better a shooter is from a particular spot, the more bars you'll see. Open looks are indicated with a green meter, while a yellow/red meter shows that your player is guarded.
NBA Live 15's previous instalment, NBA Live 14 had a troubled season after it was beset with issues, resulting in negative press and fan reaction. Adrew Wilson, EA head had apologised for the poor quality of NBA 14. However, the new game has new physics and freestyle passing, CVG reported.
After delays, NBA Live 15 will be released on 28 October 2014 for PlayStation 4 and Xbox One.
