Customer Ratings & Reviews

I really enjoy the ultimate team mode and the weekly content this year. The master challenges allow you to earn 90 plus rating players which I love! The gameplay is great and I like the new shot bar. My biggest problems with the game can be fixed easily if they decide to do it. Three years in a row, we have not been able to see a full stat line for ultimate team players. Pressing L3 should pull up a stat line similar to the options/roster screen when you are out of ultimate team. Superstar difficultly is beyond realistic, the cpu can hit 5 circus shots in a row, and offensive rebound every block. Your cpu teamates on superstar are useless. They won't rebound, leave their man wide open, and will not pursue a loose ball when you knock a ball loose. Why can't I pick the ball up after knocking it loose? Why can't I jump to block a shot if they have begun their motion to shoot, while guarding one on one, I have to jump prior to them picking the ball up to block a shot. I have lost games shooting 90% because the cpu will offensive rebound a lot and 4 guys with 90 plus def. rebounding on the floor for my team will just watch it happen. Last, there needs to be an option to turn off auto subs, its annoying. Most of those complaints are on superstar difficulty in ultimate team, and one thing I can say positive is that wins feel much more rewarding, too bad many losses feel like the game simply cheated. Pro and All Star difficultly are a lot of fun and you can use a wide range of talent to get the win. Every week there is something new for me to get excited about in ultimate team, that mode alone makes this a must buy. The pro am is a nice distraction if you would like to take a break, you build up a player and compete online with and against other live players on real life courts. The graphics are outstanding, particularly the court, basket, and player models. Great job this year EA!

Fun game that involves different game modes and offers a competitive online experience for anyone looking to challenge themselves against other gamers. Quality of game is good but does have a few kinks in the career game mode that can be frustrating at times.

If NBA 2K16 is LeBron James, then NBA Live 16 is Steph Curry. Realistic, fast paced, impossible to stop. You must pass the ball not just ball hog and score like 2k. This game is authentic NBA Basketball.

A good game a lot of different modes to play to keep you occupied.

While I own both NBA Live 16 and NBA 2K16, I find myself playing NBA Live 16 for only one reason -- Live 16's Pro-Am "Live Run" mode is so fun and addictive. "Live Run" is basically a 5-on-5 streetball pickup game to 21, with twos and threes, so the games go by very fast. I find "Live Run" way more fun than NBA 2K16's MyPark mode. I like how Live 16 lets you tailor your player's skills more specifically than 2K16 does. Whereas 2K16's MyPlayer only lets you improve large "baskets" of skills (e.g., jump shooting, defense, rebounding), Live 16 lets you improve specific skills (e.g., inside shot, midrange, 3 point shooting, shot blocking, post defense, steals, offensive rebounding, defensive rebounding). The result is you can really tailor how your player's skills develop. Given how NBA Live 16's price has dropped significantly, I think the game is worthwhile just for the Pro-Am "Live Run" mode alone.

Really like this game. Graphics are excellent and the app to use your face on your player is awesome. It's not as challenging as NBA 2K but i still love it. and the EA packs for ultimate team have more players per pack than My Team in 2K so it's a little easier to build a team through packs. Very happy with decision to buy and will try it again next year.

This year EA Sports created a good game. I havent play 2K16 yet so i cant compare this to that game. Good graphics, the best dribbling controls and the new shooting percentage icon is perfect.

When EA Sports brought back the NBA Live series in 2013, it was sorely lacking features and gameplay wasn't that great. Each release keeps getting better. EA Sports is (slowly but surely) closing the gap between them and 2K Sports.

This is the best basketball game out for any game system. Original controls brought back with multiple spot-on drills and superb graphics. Pro Am is great you can play with your OWN FACE! I'd recommend this before 2k any day.

Good action and nice graphics. Only one issue, the smartphone app that allows you to put your face on a player doesn't work. I can't get it to scan my face.

Better than 2k16. You feel more in controll of the game and more realistic than 2k16 . You have many ways to play the game its fun I am glad EA Sports came back with these game 3 years ago.

This is the best NBA Live so far. EA has taken many steps in the right direction this year. They have improved almost every aspect of the game

Pretty simple to understand. Very exciting to play as the players we watch every week.

The game looks good, but it seems to have a lot of glitches. Every once in a while game freezes and you have to go to the console menu and then close the application. One time it froze on me and my seasons data was lost. Next year I will be getting NBA 2K.

My boys like this game as a great alternative to the Madden. We buy this game ever year because of the different venues available during game play as well as the features available.

Just upgraded to a PS4 and bought this game for Christmas. I couldn't wait so I had to set it up and try it out. Game is great on PS3 but even better on the PS4 because of graphics.

AS A GIFT FOR MY GRANDSON,I HAVE ENJOYED PLAYING IT ALSO. I LIKE THE REALISTIC ACTION AND CALLS. BRINGS COMPETITION TO A NEW LEVEL.

Great graphics compared to other basketball games!

Better than 2k in my opinion but their both good..

My son loves the NBA games for PS4. He said this one was a little hard at first but quickly got the hang of it and loves it now.
