'NBA Live 15' Release Date & Demo: Game Modes Revealed

EA is making the final adjustments to its upcoming game, "NBA Live 15," as the launch date gets closer: October 28 in North America and October 31 in Europe.

According to Fansided.com, the pre-release demo will be skipped but new improvements were made to various game modes.

EA announced that they adjusted the servers, which were previously reported to be buggy, LoadtheGame.com noted. EA focused on how players can stay connected with other players and developments in real world NBA.

The game developer shared that they intended to maintain a stable connection throughout.

"With EA SPORTS' best-in-class online technology, players will never miss a beat online with friends and the NBA. Server stability is a top priority for us, and NBA LIVE 15 will certainly deliver the goods."

As for online modes, "NBA Live 15" will present Daily Challenges and Experiences, which are actually related to events and activities that take place in a real world NBA championship. The "Head-to-Head" game mode allows players to battle with friends on various levels, beginning from League 1 up to League 10. When a player wins games, they can level up and play against stronger opponents.

EA Sports.com wrote that the game will also feature "Live Ultimate Team" where players can build their team consisting of NBA legends and rising stars.

Another mode is the "Best of Seven" which is inspired by the NBA Finals. Gamers can play with others in a best-of-seven series and the winner will be deemed as the best NBA Live Player. There is also the "Jordan Rising Star" mode, where gamers can create a player who will play and earn his way through the different levels until he achieves legendary status. The "Jordan Rising Star" mode was upgraded by EA to give players more options in terms of creating and customizing and adding more play styles.

The "Live Season" mode provides new challenges, methods of playing and features for gamers. "Hot Spot Challenges" follows real-world performance so that players can emulate the same shots in the same positions that NBA stars make. "Big Moment Challenges" allows players to participate in some of the greatest moments in NBA history, changing the course of the game and securing a victory for their favorite team, contrary to what really happened in the actual game. "NBA Rewind" allows players to change the outcome of any real NBA game on their console by entering at any point.
