    Great game for NBA Fans!

    By gamer91 | Review Date: Sep 30, 2015 | PS4

    I have been an NBA Live fan for years, and the last few have been heartbreaking. But 16 is much better than the last two season's games. The game play is better than 2k this year (I've played both) and the graphics are ... Read Full Review

    I believe that nba live 16 is a exellent game, can not compare with 2k because live is more arcade and easy to play(what I love) but and diferent. On my way to see 2k is most of the time hard to play or do some plays but... Read Full Review

    Why did gamespot give it the same score as 15

    By samueljm99 | Review Date: Oct 18, 2015 | XONE

    This game is no 2k16 but they are actually progressing unlike 2k16 which is technically 2k15 with a new career mode and a few little things. NBA live 16 is a big step forward from 15 and does not deserve a 5. The customi... Read Full Review

    Still not there.

    By bbilstrup | Review Date: Oct 05, 2015 | PS4

    I'm not at 2k fan boy, every year I hope live is gonna be a contender to the 2k franchise, but unfortunately they still haven't managed to come close. The gameplay is very "arcade" compared to 2k and animations and graph... Read Full Review

    By ijterrell | Review Date: Oct 04, 2015 | PS4

    It's all about the online for me. You play 5-on-5 games to 21. There's two mode: Summer Circuit and Live Run. Summer Circuit is like rec league, you play to unlock items. Live Run is you and friends going at it! I'll giv... Read Full Review

    Very good game.

    By tfenner67 | Review Date: Oct 02, 2015 | PS4

    My analysis is that NBA Live 16 is a refreshing game and not the repetitve game NBA2k16 has become year after year. NBA Live 16 looks a tad bit better than 2k period. The gameplay is solid and realistic. I think to reall... Read Full Review
