NBA Live 15 is ondertussen al een tijdje beschikbaar voor de PlayStation 4 en Xbox One. Hoewel de game al veel beter was dan zijn voorganger, heb je destijds in onze review kunnen lezen dat ook dit jaar de concurrent (in dit geval NBA 2K15) weer heer en meester is. Toch sleutelt ontwikkelaar EA Sports nog lekker door aan de game en de tweede update is inmiddels beschikbaar, zo laat het bedrijf weten.
De update bevat maar liefst meer dan 400 verbeteringen en feedback van fans heeft ook meegedragen aan enkele verbeteringen in bijvoorbeeld de gameplay. Hieronder zetten we de belangrijkste punten van de nieuwe patch voor je op een rijtje. Klik hier voor nog meer details.
- New player head scans: Added 15 scanned player heads.
- Christmas Day uniforms: Added uniforms that teams will wear on Christmas Day.
- Live Ultimate Team: More than 50 bug fixes, as well as an improved interface for LUT Fantasy Challenges. Also added Quicksell Value view to Items, as well as Pack Bundles.
- Three-point shooting: Adjustments to three-point shooting percentage and effectiveness, for both CPU and User controlled teams.
- Contested layups: Tuned collisions and contests when driving the lane and going up for a layup for more varied results. Expect more misses if there is heavy contact in the paint.
- Shot timing: We’ve made timing for releasing your shot more forgiving for both online and offline play. Now, the timing feels more natural and predictable.
- Ball trajectory and physics: Tuned the shot arc and rim physics for more organic shot types and results. Gone are the days where every made three-pointer is a swish.
- Shot feedback meter: Enhanced the feedback system to include your player’s rating for that particular shot type and whether you were open or not.
- Invisible boundaries: Cleaned up some of the invisible boundary issues when moving along the baseline with the ball.
- End of game AI: Address late game AI issues where players would not react or respond naturally – often causing them to dribble the ball out or not attempt a shot with the clock winding down.
