NBA Live 15 Q&A Thread

[Andrew]

Questions are welcome in their own threads too, but we've generally found it useful to have a central Q&A thread, where we can provide some quick answers to quick questions, and try to compile a comprehensive reference. So, if you have questions, feel free to post them here!

Hey, this year are you able to:

1: Edit the nba players (ex: put sleeve on Terrence Ross etc) as you couldn't do this last season?
2: Are you able to edit rosters (ex: trade Dwight Howard to the Magic) as you couldn't do this last season either?

I really wanna pick up the game and leaning towards it but this really bothered me about Live '14.

Appreciate any answers guys.

1. No.
2. No.

In our two interviews with Sean O'Brien on the NLSC Podcast, he reiterated that customisation - roster editing, sliders, and so forth - are on the cards for NBA Live 16.

On my way to pick up the game likely and wanted to know prior to purchase instead of it being an "unpleasant" surprise.

Appreciate the reply my man.

Include 'PC Release' on that list, and I'll put my Pre-Order in now.

Can you guys give an early impressions rating pre- & post-patch (say 6/10 pre, 7/10 post etc)? The X1 EA Access guys who bought the game might be in best position to let me know since most who already have it on PS4 didn't get a chance to play demo first. I just want to get an idea as I'm on PS4 & will be basing my decision on pre-patch demo (when it drops in my region) & what I read. Thanks guys.

[Andrew]

I'll be posting some impressions shortly, so I'll see if I can include some comparisons.

Awesome. I wanna make a buy or not decision after playing demo in next 3-4 days so I can get UT bonuses if I do buy.

Just want to ask if there's a way to edit player accessories/ratings in this game similar to what we can do in NBA 2k15? Thanks.

I got 10 free gold packs and also I tihnk I got another one for pre ordering off of Amazon. it was very helpful considering my starting team consisted of Ronnie Price, Casspi, De Colo, Booker, and ZAZA

Read the thread.

As before, it's not possible. Customisation is on the cards for next year.

[matmat66]

Thanks Andrew. Sorry I did not pay attention to the earlier posts. Too bad even editing rosters thru trades cannot be done.

How do I see the FPS while NBA2k15 quickgame is playing on PC? I have tried F3 etc but unable to see FPS. (F3 works for Minecraft to view ingame data). Game works great with minimal sound lag up until after the pregame show. Once game begins it lags at a pace of about 60% normal speed. I have been on several forums and purchased the game via Steam. I assume Steam has the patch fixes as i have gone to properties to view upgrades and it does not list what has been upgraded. I have tried everything from disabling sound device to configuring video config. Removed crowd and turned all settings to low, disabled Vsync and Sampling. Tried several combinations.

Installed Windows 7 64 on new HD so I would not have other system/program interference. Updated AMD Radeon drivers and modified catalyst software settings for video. PC meets recommended requirements.

Got this for my son for christmas and been trying to get it up and running at full speed for him since. Your help and input is greatly appreciated.

This section is for NBA Live 15 discussion. That's a question that belongs over in the NBA 2K15 section.

[Venoms]

what happen to the black jersey of bulls?....i dont see it...

[Andrew]

Probably just hasn't been added yet.

[jasonkash2002]

Any chance there will be a jersey update for the Bulls black alternate uniform?

Has anyone successfully executed the "spin-gather?" Whatever sequence I try I seem to not be able to use it. Euro-step, and hop work just fine. In a loading screen it says to rotate the left stick + gather button (triangle), but in "how to" it says rotate the right stick + gather button (triangle).

[Andrew]

I haven't, yet. I'll need to give it another try.

I don't think I've ever successfully done that. I usually hit triangle and stick waggle but it winds up forcing a normal layup

[mp3]

Me neither and I find nba live 15 controls a lot easier to master than 2k's I still can hardly pull off the euro step in 2k15 with any consistency.

[Phreak50]

I honestly don't believe that move made it into the game. I know there's a pic in the loading screens but I spent hours in the practice gym and could never pull it off even once. Plus, have never seen the CPU do it either.

Are you sure? I've been fortunate enough to see the CPU execute it whenever it pleases, and I'm talking about a gather animation with a layup immediately following it. I haven't seen any spin-gather dunks though. I've seen it more often in Superstar mode, which is now the difficulty I play at always. It appears that there's a larger array of animations the CPU utilizes with higher difficulty settings, but I'm just assuming.

EDIT: Also it very well could have been absent from player controls, because in the "how to score" tutorial I don't see any mention of it, but Euro-steps and hops were present.

[Phreak50]

Yeah definitely haven't seen it resemble the still screen in the menus (I think it's Melo they have doing the move). You can certainly spin and layup but it doesn't have a gather move in there.

If you pause and go to controls, it is definitely listed as a player controllable move though.
