On the other hand, EA Sports also teased some images online just recently as to what the Hawks' new road grays will appear in NBA Live 16, NBA.com reports. The developer is on for some information drive to provide the fans tons of details as well as improvements that have been brought in to the new game and what they will be getting out of their money.

EA's official post confirms that among the highlights of NBA Live 16 is the dribbling feature which is reportedly enhanced relative to visual and responsiveness factors. Moreover, gamers will gain more control when crossing over opposite players and while getting to the basket.

EA states, "Players no longer simply hold the right stick to watching a player perform signature moves; they are now in control by moving the Right Stick to pull off moves with one-to-one control. This means that you can choose the moves and speed of how you perform your size ups. After sizing up a player, use an aggressive move by modifying with RT/R2 to give your player a wide attack angle with a crossover or hesitation."

According to Softpedia, NBA Live 16 adds popular dunks of renowned players, gamers get better passing and screening. It also includes additional passing animations as a part of the game and offers a more fined tuned multiplayer mode. 

Both titles, NBA 2K16 and NBA Live 16 appear to be on a toe to toe competition come September 29 release on Microsoft's Xbox One and Sony's PlayStation 4 as EA Games strives to successfully match or even win over its arch rival 2K Sports.
