Taking everything into consideration, i give Live 16 a 7 to 8. It just needs more innovative depth, but the game is extremley fun and deserving of at least a 7.Live 16 shows that this series isnt going anywhere and will just get better and better. Get used to it folks… Expand

After the atrocious game that was Live 14, and the slight improvement in 15, I just had a feeling that 16 would be great. 2K16 has tons of glitches and is simply overrated. A real consumer would buy both games, and have some variety. I thought that the Alley Oops in this game were really bad, that was until they patched it about 2 days after people noticed it as a big problem. Just like how they also fixed the free throw glitch A DAY after it became an issue. The animation is A LOT more fluid than last years. There aren't a lot of locked animations which improved the game a lot for me. There are tons of player set animations, for example Harden stirring the pot, or Westbrook doing his signature celebration. Prp-AM and Summer Circuit are really fun modes to play. It's not just something to play when you're bored, no you literally want to keep on playing. The only thing that I think would've further excelled this game would be ALL-STAR WEEKEND. THE *CLASSIC* NBA Live All-Star Weekend. I'm looking at a 5.2 for the user score right now. But this game deserves at least a 8.8 for the tons of improvement and the fact that they listened to us, the fans. It just so happens that we have a lot of followers in this world. Nobody in their right mind would buy 2K year after year, the repetitive product. Live is a big win for me, and I'll be playing this until Live 17 is released. A perfect 10 in my book.… Expand

   Okay, firstly, comparing NBA Live to the 2k Franchise is the worst idea. Although 2k16 is not my preference THIS year, BECAUSE of NBA Live 16,Okay, firstly, comparing NBA Live to the 2k Franchise is the worst idea. Although 2k16 is not my preference THIS year, BECAUSE of NBA Live 16, 2k16 does things in its own game better than NBA Live, true enough, & NBA Live does things better than 2k16. I gave this a chance one day & I've been hooked playing the trial so I ended up buying.
   
   To focus more so on what NBA Live does right is, the GRAPHICS. The look & fluidity, after a number of updates, is at a competitive high this year. Also, the ability to pick up & play WHILE enjoying the learning curve is great. The different modes are fun, for the little bit that I've played & Ultimate Team mode is different & fun.
   
   Overall, it was worth the purchase over 2k. All my friends play 2k, but I'M enjoying this.… Expand

   If NBA2K16 is the MVP, NBA Live 16 gets the Most Improved Player award. It's not the complete NBA experience, but it's so much better than itsIf NBA2K16 is the MVP, NBA Live 16 gets the Most Improved Player award. It's not the complete NBA experience, but it's so much better than its recent entries. Player likenesses are more accurate than ever, Presentation makes excellent use of the ESPN partnership, And the Pro Am & Rising Star Modes bring some needed change and longevity to the franchise. There are a few flaws however; Rising Star Mode is shallow compared to 2K's Be A Pro, though it does handle player building and stat allocation better. And some may feel this game is a little faster paced than its rival, as Live has had a tough time shacking off it's Arcade feel. With that said however, this is still the best incarnation of NBA Live in years. And if improvements continue, don't be surprised to see this contend with NBA2K in a couple of years. If you want the complete NBA experience, go with 2K. If you don't like the feel of it, Live's a good alternative.… Expand

   I rarely review games, and I rarely give negative reviews to games - this is one of those rare times where I will give both.
   
   In GameI rarely review games, and I rarely give negative reviews to games - this is one of those rare times where I will give both.
   
   In Game Grading System
   This feature just doesn't work well, for instance if you play good defense (play up on your man, defend to the hoop, and attempt to block his shot), you should receive a good defense (+2 grade), or a contest shot )+1) grade, right? Well, what about getting an -1 or -2 for allowing your man to "score inside," or to shoot an "open shot?"
   
   The list goes on and on - when shooting open threes, you get a poor shot selection or contested shot, both negatives, which make it hard to get to a high yellow or green score at the end of a game. This makes it quite frustrating, especially when having customized a created Rising Star.
   
   Rising Star Points Allocations
   This is another one of the games glitches - I want to call this a farce because rarely if ever do my point allocations stick - allow me to explain.
   
   At the conclusion of Rising Star games, you receive a certain number of points which you can allocate to your player's development (Skill Points). They range and depend on how well you perform in-game, and are mainly tied to your In Game Grade (50-100, although if you perform very poorly, they can be below 50).
   
   USUALLY (which is hard to fathom), I allocate my skill points based on the "Key Skill" indicators, but sometimes I decide to go with some other skill sets to balance out my player (ex: Speed, Finishing, Layup, Fouls, etc).
   
   Nine times out of Ten, the Skill Point Selections that I make will not stick - once I exit the Skill Points allocation screen, the points revert to what they were post game, but before my skills allocation, which is quite frustrating.
   
   Shot Meter/Skill Meter
   This is another bone of contention - in the NBA Live '15 iteration, it seemed you were better able to hit shots/free throws using the shot meter than you are in this current iteration.
   
   My Rising Star has a Free Throw Skill Rating of 82, but ever since I allocated enough points to get him to 82, he consistently shoots between 60-70% from the free throw line, despite me always being at the top of the meter and in sync with the animation.
   
   In conclusion, although the game does offer a variety of modes, and the animations are quite good, the game mechanics (not flowing into a layup for example when there is no one in front of you, instead setting for a jump shot from 10 feet) leave a lot to be desired - there is virtually no marked improvement from the 2015 iteration that I can see, except for a change in the use of the shot meter (not an improvement).
   
   The Rising Star mode is an exiting prospect, but the execution of the skills allocation and selection deflate any excitement that one has and leaves a very frustrating experience for the player.
   
   It is for the aforementioned reasons that I strongly recommend that anyone thinking of purchasing this game try to find a trial instead and check it out for themselves - if you have a large appetite for frustration, then this is the game for you.… Expand
