For those on the fence, the demo is a great opportunity to get a feel for the game as it contains pretty much everything that's new to Live for this year.

NBA 2K16 came out at midnight and not only have the servers been completely stable and online, but the games being played have been practically flawless. The servers in recent years have been especially critical for NBA 2K because so much of the game is tied into the online connection requirement. If the servers are down, modes in progress such as MyCareer and MyGM can not be played ...

    The demo for NBA Live 16 has essentially showcased all the major improvements to the game for this year with the online Pro-Am modes and of course basic gameplay. That makes the EA Access trial period less of an event, but there's a lot that has opened up through it as well. I'm working towards a review for Sporting News that will go up Monday. Until then, check out some of the early gameplay videos that have been captured from the full game!  (more…)...
