REDWOOD CITY, Calif. – Sept. 29, in the year of our
Lord 2015 – Today Electronic Arts Inc. (NASDAQ: EA)

entertainment system from Microsoft, and PlayStation®4 computer
entertainment system. NBA LIVE 16 highlights the brand-new LIVE
PRO-AM mode, as well as the new LIVE Motion physics system.
Players can express themselves both on and off the court with

LIVE PRO-AM provides players the chance to rise together with

Beach, Terminal 23 and more. Summer Circuit allows up to five

teams as they try to become the true kings of the court. Those

able to carry over created player progress and unlocked gear,
getting a leg up on the competition.
Players can find the perfect gear to express their personality,
with hundreds of shirts, shoes, sneakers, and more available
from top brands. Players can also get themselves in the game
with the official NBA LIVE Companion (available on the App Store
and Google Play) featuring GameFaceHD. This exclusive mobile
scanning technology allows fans to quickly and easily scan their
face and upload it to their in-game character.
Created characters can also be used in Rising Star career mode
(retaining all progression across modes), and aspiring GMs can
try their hand at running a NBA franchise in Dynasty mode.
Players looking to build an unbeatable crew of both modern stars
and past greats can jump into LIVE Ultimate Team, and those
hoping to either relive or rewrite history can check out LIVE
Rewind and Big Moments. Newcomers or players looking to build
their skill base can jump into Learn LIVE, with multiple options
for drills and practice sessions.
Fans will also be treated to enhanced gameplay in NBA LIVE 16
thanks to the new LIVE Motion physics system. Players move with
purpose and react intelligently to try and get open with cuts
and off-ball screens. Plus, new mechanics like touch passing and
dribble handoffs make it easier than ever to orchestrate the
offense and make the big play. In addition to all these
features, new shot mechanics, shot meter and feedback give
players instant information to help them learn exactly when to
release the ball. With the variety of modes, options and
gameplay upgrades, there’s something in NBA LIVE 16 for
