PASSING
This was a sticking point in year’s past. Running a fast-break used to be a chore, but not anymore. For real though, they added a TON of new pass and catch animations. More variety means players move the ball with more intent – and it looks more natural.
...
DRIBBLING
NBA LIVE has always been about dribble control – so we are all pumped for the return of Freestyle Controls! NBA LIVE 16 really feels like you’re the one pulling off the moves – and not an animation sequence.
...
SHOOTING
You aren’t winning if you aren’t scoring. NBA LIVE 16 has brought in a totally new shot system. The release timing is no longer tied to the animation, and is now tied one-to-one with the button press. If you release too early or late you’ll actually see and feel the difference.
...
OFF-BALL MOVEMENT (LIVE MOTION)
This feature will have the most notable impact. Remember when dudes would just stand around the court and not move or try to get open, unless you called a play? Those days are over.
...
And if that ain’t enough, check out some of the moves you can pull off now that you could never do before:
Touch passing
Dribble handoffs
Pick and Roll screen re-screen
Attack Ball Screens w/ New Dribble Mechanics
Deny NBA superstars away from the ball
Bump cutters
Push off and get open away from the ball
MORE COMING
I'm pumped for the return of freestyle. Looks like they answered some of my questions from the conference about responsiveness.
