Day One Patch Details for NBA Live 15
EA Sports released a patch today for NBA Live 15 to coincide with the game's release. It's likely the culmination of work done over the weeks that the game was delayed and addresses primarily visual details but also involves some minor gameplay adjustments. Included too is a roster update which is fitting and necessary as the season begins tonight. ♦Updated scanned heads for: Derrick Rose, Joakim Noah, Kawhi Leonard, Carmelo Anthony ♦Updated San Antonio Spurs championship ...

NBA Live 15 Is The Game That Should Have Rebooted The Series
EA Sports isn't treating NBA Live 15 like it's a critical release for the series which desperately needs to establish itself on stable ground and show potential to achieve significant growth in the market within the next few years. In fact they've shown little urgency at all and even have basically admitted it's not a stellar product. No one would have been fooled otherwise but it stands in stark contrast to the way the company promoted previous failed efforts where they instead presented a ...

NBA Live 15 Day One EA Access Live Stream
EA Sports has largely shielded consumers from NBA Live 15 and their motivations for doing so have been questioned. This is especially notable coming off four years of failure and promises to change that have been broken time and time again. When the company announced the EA Access subscription service back in July they backed themselves into a corner where they could no longer hide games they may not be all that confident in all the way through release. Now everyone who has an Xbox One...

NBA Live 15 through EA Access on Xbox One is out now to download as a timed trial.

Details on the First NBA 2K15 Patch
Expected out soon for the Xbox One and PS4, and already available for those on PC, the first patch for NBA 2K15 attempts to address some issues discovered since release of the game. After initially only mentioning that there would be a fix for people getting booted out of MyPark 2K Sports has now released a list of what else to expect from the update. Given the timing it's no surprise that the patch is essentially just implementing some quick fixes for mostly minor bugs rather than making...

Six Hour NBA Live 15 Stream Tomorrow
EA Sports may have avoided showing gameplay for NBA Live 15 but their commitment to the EA Access program means they couldn't hide the game completely. Tomorrow I'll be holding a live stream of NBA Live 15 running through the entirety of the six hours and in the process will have hopefully shown off sufficient gameplay and most of the modes. Last year hundreds of people joined me in experiencing NBA Live 14 in a live stream that went on for over six hours. What would have been torturous o...

NBA 2K15 Server Problems Continue
NBA 2K15 has been out for nearly two weeks now but the troublesome servers continue to disrupt the game for many. Not only has access to the various modes been denied due to the servers being down but consumers are finding themselves with Virtual Currency that has vanished (which is essentially money stolen away by 2K Sports), MyTeam progress/purchases that have been lost, and MyPlayers that have disappeared (some of which have been replaced with someone else's created player). Not everyo...

Issues Having Large Impact on Experiences With NBA 2K15
Just how many people feel their enjoyment of NBA 2K15 has been damaged by issues primarily related to the servers? It turns out it's a large amount based on the poll posted earlier this week which helped to quantify the distress being shown on social media and forums. From over 5K respondents those describing their experience with NBA 2K15 as a negative one (30%) outnumbered those that feel it has been a positive one (27%). That's a serious concern for 2K Sports coming off 2K14 w...
