'NBA Live 15' News, Cover, Trailer & Release Date: Top 5 Features On How EA Sports Improved This Game

NBA Live by EA Sports has been out of the scenes for many years. In 2014, the game developer returns with a new and improved NBA Live 15, which will mean competition for NBA 2K15, set for release on October 7, 2014 for Xbox and Playstation 4

Although fans have learned to adapt and love 2K Sports and even with the new NBA 2K15 promising a variety of enhanced features and graphics, EA Sports also have a number of things to offer which may spur customers to decide heavily which video to go for.

1. Head scanning

In a report by Hip Hop Since 1987, the design team of NBA Live 15 scanned the heads of NBA players so they can have accurate and highly detailed faces of the characters in-game. Fans can expect to easily recognize their favorite players regardless of the camera view. Excellent skin textures, facial expressions and eye expressions are just some of the improved details to expect in the new video game.

2. Detailed uniforms

EA Sports also put a lot of focus into the uniforms of the players so these are very detailed and fluid. Gamers will appreciate how the fabric moves independently of the player, showcasing shadows, sweat marks and fine textures on the material.

3. Shoe details

Sneakerheads will especially be enticed to go for the 2K15 competition since EA Sports made sure that efforts will also be allocated to the shoes of players. NBA Live 15 will feature signature shoes and player edition gear which will also be available in customizable options.

4. Enhanced environment

The EA Sports developers made sure that quality and detail would also be excellent in the various accessories and features of the basketball court. Gamers will appreciate reflections, smooth edges and high quality definition on aspects like the basketball ring and board, the crowd, the shot clock, the LED ribbon boards, the court floor and even the basketball itself. The lighting system was overhauled to improve the total brightness of the environment.

5. Photo-realistic simulation

According to EA Sports, the game developers primarily aimed to provide gamers with the ultimate experience by creating a photo-realistic simulation of all the elements in an actual basketball game. All the details and aspects of the game were enhanced and intended to simulate what people can actually find and see when they watch a real game.

NBA 2K15, on the other hand, also promised to deliver enhanced sound effects, commentaries and the biggest soundtrack list in the history of the game series. With both camps making their respective moves, it is expected to be a close battle for NBA video gaming supremacy this year.
