I agree. It actually might be the best Live yet. There are a few things that are lame such as the alley oops not working(player points up and doesn't go for the alley oop?). But overall the gameplay is solid. I still say it's worth it just for the fact that Dame is featured so heavily in the game.
I just ignore it, I don't know what the big deal is. I just shoot how I've always shot. I think it supposedly lets less skilled players make more shots or something, but I rarely play online so I'm not bothered by it at all.
Live used to be the GOAT, 6 year old me played the crap out of this game [video=youtube;-0iUTpngp3E]https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-0iUTpngp3E[/video]
Defense isn't the problem. It's just ridiculously lame. Try it out, then play live and decide for yourself
Saw a review where some one was hating on live 15 saying it's clunky and not realistic. The person said 2K15 is a near perfect realistic basketball sim. They then went on to talk about how they have had multiple wide open great release jump shots in live 15 that have missed, which is a problem because players always make wide open shots......
Oh man! I spent most of my middle school years playing that game. Had multiple 82 game seasons with 12 minute quarters... I didn't get out much.
Regarding the shot bar thing... I suck at it. I was much better at last years game, it made me feel like I knew the players shot in and out... this year I feel like everyone is the same. For example I was unstoppable at LA's post fade, this year it feels like I'm always missing because I'm used to the old games more natural quick release.
