'NBA Live 16' Release Date & Features: Xbox One Gamers Need Just 23.31GB for EA Sports Video Game
"NBA Live 16" is almost out. The official Xbox online store has the game up already, revealing more details about the hotly anticipated basketball game. The website revealed that Xbox One gamers only need 23.31 GB of space to be able to play EA Sports' hit video game.
According to Attack of the Fanboy, this is a good deal and around half of the size needed for the "NBA 2K" games, as both "NBA 2K14" and "NBA 2K15" are bulky at 40 GB. Although it's easier on the console, this can also mean that the new "NBA Live" will not feature a lot of content. However, EA Sports have reportedly said the game will be an upgrade from previous versions with better graphics and updated animation and gameplay.
"Free your game in NBA LIVE 16 with all-new player movement, improved AI, and the return of freestyle controls," the official game description read on the Xbox website.
Meanwhile, the companion app dubbed "GameFaceHD" was supposed to be released on Tuesday, Sept. 8, but a bump on the road has delayed it for a bit. According to the EA Sports NBA Live Twitter account, the application will be out within the week.
The tweet read, "Hey guys, the NBA LIVE Companion app will release later this week. We apologize for the short delay and will keep you posted. #RiseTogether"
The postponement of the app's release date raised some concerns among the fans regarding the demo's release date. EA Sports was quick to dispel the concerns on Twitter, saying, "This has zero impact on the Demo release date. We ran into a slight delay in the mobile app submission process."
In the official EA Sports website, the developer revealed the top five point guards that players can use in the NBA Live 16.
LA Clippers' floor general Chris Paul takes the top spot with 95 OVR.
"Lob City is led by one of the best playmakers in the NBA and his ratings show it," the official description said. "CP3 has the top passer rating in the game, coming in with a 96 Pass Accuracy and 94 Court Vision. His handles? Ridiculous, with a 92 Dribble. Don't forget about his deadly long-range ability: It's a 93."
EA Sports rounds out the best playmakers in the NBA with a list that includes OKC Thunder's Russell Westbrook, NBA champion and Golden State Warriors' Steph Curry, Cleveland Cavaliers' Kyrie Irving, Washington Wizards' John Wall and Portland Trailblazers' Damian Lillard.
"NBA Live 16" for Xbox One and PlayStation 4 will hit the shelves on Sept. 29. The demo will be released on Sept. 15.
