NBA Live 15
Top Critic
Don't let the improved looks fool you – NBA Live 15's good ideas are all stifled by poor gameplay fundamentals.
Top Critic
After several years in the wilderness, NBA Live is back and it means business. While it's not yet ready to take on its 2K rival, Live is a fun game of basketball that's easy to pick and play.
Top Critic
Improvements on the court are hindered by the lack of compelling modes
Top Critic
At least it no longer plays or looks like an experiment gone wrong.
Top Critic
NBA Live 15 is a step in the right direction, but that still doesn't make it a good basketball game.
Top Critic
NBA Live 15 makes some key improvements, but this franchise still doesn't feel quite ready for prime time.
Top Critic
This year's installment isn't the most polished basketball title or even the best hoops title in general. But it's absolutely safe to say NBA Live has returned and will be sticking around as a contender, as long as it continues to take these positive dribbles forward.
Top Critic
While it's a big improvement over last year and a clear step in the right direction, NBA Live 15 forgets that basketball is a team sport. Dunks are overpowered, rendering ball movement and teamwork pointless. Hopefully further refinement can produce a great basketball game in the future, but for 2015, NBA Live's advances are still overshadowed by flawed fundamentals.
Top Critic
Still aching to even come close to the technical assuredness of NBA 2K15, NBA Live 15 does fare much better than last year's debacle. However, crucially flawed gameplay, lackluster commentary and a shortage of worthwhile modes leave this player coming up weak on the court.
Top Critic
A marked improvement over NBA Live 14, but still far from perfect.
