NBA Live Launches Today
October 28, in the year of our Lor 2014 –
Coinciding with the tip-off of the NBA season, today Electronic
Arts Inc. (NASDAQ: EA) officially launched NBA LIVE 15 for Xbox
One, the all-in-one entertainment system from Microsoft, and the
PlayStation®4 computer entertainment system. NBA LIVE 15 strives
to capture the excitement of the NBA through incredible visuals,
fun and responsive gameplay and innovative, connected modes like
Learn LIVE and LIVE Season. Fans who purchase NBA LIVE 15 and
connect online between October 28 and November 6 will also
receive $30 of bonus packs in NBA LIVE 15 Ultimate Team*.
NBA LIVE 15 includes 500+ core gameplay improvements, delivering
a truly fluid, fun and authentic basketball gaming experience
that features complete overhauls in passing, shooting and
dribbling. Simplified dribble controls make it easier than ever
to pull off impressive moves, and enhanced passing and player
locomotion lead to more fluid ball movement and better
transitions in fast breaks. Brand-new shot quality and timing
feedback systems help players better understand when they have a
good look at the basket, as well as whether they’re releasing
the ball too early, too late or right on time. All-new real-time
physics on dunks and layups replicate some of the NBA’s most
physical plays.
Reimagined visuals drop you courtside alongside the game’s
biggest stars. Digital athletes draw a striking resemblance to
their real-world counterparts, and react with excitement and
emotion when big moments happen on the court. The scanning that
makes players look so great has also been extended to shoes,
jerseys, accessories and more, adding a level of detail never
before seen in the series.
The fan-favorite LIVE Seasons mode returns this year, ensuring
you’ll never miss a beat during the NBA season with new content
updated daily, all season long. New Hot Spot Challenges within
BIG Moments task players with replicating game-defining moments
from real-world NBA games as closely as possible, while NBA
Rewind lets you replay entire contests, jumping in and out
whenever you like. Replicate (or stop) a big run from last
night’s marquee matchup, hop in to take the game-winning shot,
replay the entire game from tip-off to final whistle or anything
in between. Content in LIVE Seasons is refreshed throughout the
NBA Season, so there’s always something new to do.
“I’m so proud of what our team has accomplished this year, and
am very happy fans are finally getting their chance to play NBA
LIVE 15, “ said Executive Producer Sean O’Brien. “We know we’ve
got a lot to prove, but I think this year’s game takes a big
step towards getting the NBA LIVE franchise back to its place as
one of the premiere sports video games out there.”
NBA LIVE 15 is developed in Orlando, Florida, by EA Tiburon and
is available now for Xbox One and PlayStation 4.
