NBA LIVE 16
In NBA LIVE 16, we continued our efforts to improve our UI visuals and our player’s experiences throughout the title to really focus on player’s first. For our visuals, our direction was to create a world inspired by existing fashion brand stores like Nike, Under Armor, Adidas and more. We used a combination of industrial and natural styles, and built around the centerpiece of a fully customizable basketball court that our players could really make their own. With the environment’s grey scale palette, we would allow for our UI to shine, making certain elements really stand out, and our mode branding to pop.
