NBA Live 16

NBA Live 16 is a great basketball simulator, with arcade elements, fast and simplified gameplay and controls that do not need to learn at all. The player will be able to try the ball game against the computer and real people around the world.

Innovations

Let's start our review of the game with details that are new to the series. While playing on the virtual basketball court, at the moment of shooting, the player sees a percentage that indicates the probability of hitting. This factor depends on the basketball player's skills, player placement, and defensive resistance. It sounds technical, but the system is pretty random. An easy shot might not hit because the computer has counted it that way. If we make a shot by Stephen Curry, the percentage will be 95%, and if the shot is from a rookie, the chance will be much lower. As for player skill, the game does not reward player skill at all. If we talk about physics, one disadvantage is that when the ball flies into the net, it always hits cleanly instead of bouncing off the backboard, for example. Fighting for rebounds leaves much to be desired. Due to the lack of additional animation, players tend to jump only upwards, not deflecting at all, so that the fight under the ring is very rough and unrealistic. The difficulty in all modes is divided into beginner, pro, star, and superstar. There is nothing to say about the artificial intelligence, it is ordinary: sometimes it is dumb and sometimes it works well. There were cases when the number of points was missing three, and the computer scores two.

Available modes

Modes:

• Tip off - fast game
• NBA Rewind - recreates recent NBA games
• Big Moments - the best moments of the previous season

Once on the court, each player's action is evaluated and an overall score is given after the game, from 0 to 100. The computer penalizes very heavily for missing throws.
• Dynasty. Dynasty mode makes us the general manager of the franchise, so we can manage the buying and selling of basketball players' contracts, the work of the club's help staff and staff training
• Ultimate Team. Ultimate Team is the mode where you can show your own best. Earn points to buy keys for chests (from which players, coaches, contracts, jerseys, flags and logos can fall out) and bid at auctions. The ultimate goal - to build your own team
