• NBA Live 16 Shows Off Visuals in Latest Blog

    EA SPORTS has released a new blog detailing improvements to lighting and animations coming to NBA Live 16.

    The blog recaps some of the known processes such as face-scanning, but adds that Live 16 has focused on improving player facial animations, lighting, and player texture, tones, and even sweat. The screenshots also provide a look at the LA Clippers new road uniform.

    The company has increased early marketing and social media efforts for the title as compared to the past, regularly sharing new screenshots from the game.

    The next major feature reveal for the title is expected to come in early August, coinciding with GameCom.

      I am actually buying Live 16 this year to give it a shot. Tired of 2K basketball and want nothing to do with a Spike Lee production.

      I'm confused. Why was Kaepernick's tattoo such a big deal for Madden when they're on everyone in NBA Live?

      I think partly NFL, also partly concerns over licensing with the tattoos. In Madden, EA needs the tattoo artist to sign off that the work is theirs and can be used.

      Some tattoos in Live have been edited. For example, Shaq's 'Man of Steel' Superman tattoo has been changed to 'Man of Metal.'

      You're right, though - it doesn't make sense how one can be so liberal, the other so stingy/strict.

      Rule #1 of the NFL AND VIDEOGAMES... "thall shalt have no power over creativity and fun."

      I'm assuming we will get a demo for Live but no demo for Madden on ps4.

      Pretty cool way to do the 'Press Any Button' screen in NBA LIVE 16. Better than the standard, boring text methodology.

      What if I told you that was based off a hand-made sculpt and not a facescan? Would that change your opinion at all?

      I agree that it's not quite Kobe, but for how they had to do it I don't think it is bad IMO.
