NBA LIVE Mobile Courtside - July 12th
What's up people it's your boy Cornell, Community Manager for NBA LIVE Mobile. Launch week is now under our belt and like I always say, you ain't seen nothing yet and this is only the beginning. We've got a lot to cover so let me jump right in with what we will cover in this week's Courtside.
- We've made some balance and tuning updates to gameplay, we'll go over them in LIVE Update
- Four words, one man. Off-Season Mover Kevin Durant
- Big Moments, Off-Season Movers, Farewell Tim Duncan and more in Instant Replay
- The Tip-Off and Premium packs were fire and ya'll created some great content. We'll take a look in The Spotlight
- You have questions, we've got answers in Overtime
After listening to feedback from the community on social media and the forums, we have made some gameplay changes which should improve your experience. These changes are:
- Finishing at the rim has improved the CPU will not attempt to block your dunk or layup every time.
- While performing dribbling moves to the basket the ball will not be stripped as much.
- The chances of you making contested jump shots have increased.
We will continue to listen to community feedback and make the needed adjustments so be sure to hit us up on Twitter and the Forums. Every voice matters and so please continue voicing your feedback and suggestions to myself and the team.
Every week in NBA LIVE Mobile we release fresh new Player Items, Live Events and Sets. We're all about representing what's going on in the real world, for example, on Monday we released a program called Off-Season Movers to commemorate the man who turned the NBA upside down, Kevin Durant. Keeping things fresh is our focus because we know that the community loves to rise and grind to some surprise hotness.
Speaking of fresh, Tim Duncan has officially retired from the NBA. His legacy speaks for itself: 5x NBA Champion, 3x Finals MVP, 15x NBA All-Star and 2x League MVP. He will go down as one of the greatest power forwards of all time. He kept it very simple and classy on the court with his effective fundamentals. To honor him we have 3 different Tim Duncan items you can earn by completing the Tim Duncan Tribute Live Event.
- “97-98” PF Tim Duncan: Two-Way Lineup. 87 Overall
- “02-03” PF Tim Duncan: Shooting Lineup. 90 Overall
- “13-14” C Tim Duncan: Big-Man Lineup. 84 Overall
There were many Big Moments in the NBA this past season we wanted to give you the opportunity to replicate that in NBA LIVE Mobile. Relive big moments with players like Paul George, Channing Frye, Courtney Lee, and Enes Kanter in Big Moments live events. Be sure to pop in NBA LIVE Mobile daily, you never know when a new one is going to drop.
Another great program introduced launch week was Throwback Thursday. Travel back in time and recreate old memories with throwback players in throwback live events. While playing for the Portland Trail Blazers, Wesley Matthews became a scoring threat to every team in the league. He is a 3-point specialist that can create his own shot when he needs to. Be on the lookout for more throwback players in the future.
Now for my favorite section of courtside, the Spotlight. Y'all are very talented! I'm impressed every day when I wake up to see pack opening, gameplay and tips videos, as well as some of the great items you've earned for your squad. So without further ado, we want to shine a light on some of the best content from the community just to show you how much we truly appreciate and love every single one of you.

We know you have questions and we'll try to answer them all but if we haven't, don't stop asking us on Twitter, the Forums or sending them directly to me. Check out some answers to some hot questions below:
@EASPORTSNBA> But why is 90 KD the same position and lineup as Supremacy Lebron???
— Kicks_34 (@Kicks_34) July 11, 2016
He's in the same position and lineup as the Supremacy LeBron because everyone might not have that LeBron, it's only fair they have another great option to fill in that slot.
@EACornellGunter> mmmm I see. Btw, do you guys plan to have live streams throughout the year?
— Mxrcus (@MxrcusAE) July 10, 2016
It's something we are discussing but most likely it will be done often.
@EACornellGunter> how do I find if players in NBA Live Mobile have special attributes
— Joseph Koss (@KossJoseph) July 9, 2016
Players special abilities can be found on the front of their card, if they have more than one it will be shown as well.
Q: How do you turn off auto-switch?
You can turn off auto-switch by going you the settings, then selecting preferences and toggle off auto-switch.
Q: During Season matches can you save your progress and start where you left off?
Absolutely, you can press pause and select “Save and Exit” and your game will be saved.
As I always say you guys truly haven't seen nothing yet, this is truly the beginning. NBA LIVE Mobile is here. See you next week.
Peace,
Cornell
Community Manager, NBA LIVE Mobile
