NBA Live 16 Pro-Am Announced
REDWOOD CITY, Calif. – Aug. 13, in the year of our
Lord 2015 – Today Electronic Arts Inc. (NASDAQ: EA)
announced NBA LIVE 16 is bringing basketball fans new ways to
compete online with the introduction of LIVE Pro-Am. LIVE Pro-Am
features two all-new fun and exciting online modes, LIVE Run and
Summer Circuit. First off is LIVE Run, giving players a smooth
and stable online pick-up game with up to nine friends on
storied courts like Rucker Park, Venice Beach, Jordan Terminal
23 and more. Joining LIVE Run is the brand new Summer Circuit,
an online co-op mode where players will travel across North
America squaring off against NBA superstars on a journey to
dominate the court. LIVE Pro-Am will be available to try for
free starting Sept. 15 via download on Xbox Live and PlayStation
Network.
At the heart of LIVE Pro-Am is you. Use your created player
across LIVE Run, Summer Circuit and the Rising Star career mode.
Playing games in any of these modes will earn you SP (Skill
Points) to upgrade your skills using our new progression system
and RP (Reward Points) to purchase authentic gear in the LIVE
Spot store. Customize your player from head to toe with the
latest kicks and gear from leading apparel brands including
Jordan, or get some ink from world-renowned tattooist Randy
Harris. NBA LIVE 16 also introduces a new companion mobile app
featuring GameFaceHD, the exclusive mobile scanning tech which
can be used to quickly and easily scan your face and upload it
into the game. GameFaceHD will be available for free download on
mobile devices starting Sept. 8, and all scanned faces can be
used when the LIVE Pro-Am demo launches on Sept. 15. Your
created character’s progression and reward unlocks will be
carried over into the full game when NBA LIVE 16 launches on
Sept. 29. No word on an offline only version of this mode at
this time.
Alongside LIVE Pro-Am, starting Sept. 15 fans can check out
exhibition-style play in Tip Off mode with six NBA teams, and
the Learn LIVE tutorials, consisting of drills to familiarize
yourself with the game and basketball fundamentals. All this
together in a free package will give basketball fans an
opportunity to run with their friends and get a head start on
the new season in advance of the launch of NBA LIVE 16.
