August 25, in the year of
our Lord 2014 – Today EA SPORTS announced that Damian
Lillard will be featured as the cover athlete for NBA LIVE 15.
Lillard shared the news with his fans via social media.
Lillard’s involvement in the franchise goes beyond a simple
cover appearance, as he has been working with the NBA LIVE team
for the past two years. Lillard participated in motion capture
and voice over sessions in both Orlando and Vancouver, Canada
where the team was able to capture his signature movement
including dribbling and shooting. The team also scanned his head
for likeness and recorded facial performance as well as had
design sessions about the creative direction of the game. Damian
is also the star and storyteller of the new Learn LIVE
onboarding mode, where he teaches players the basics of NBA LIVE
15 and recounts his own life journey in basketball.
Damian Lillard was selected in the first round of the 2012 NBA
Draft by the Portland Trail Blazers, and went on to earn Rookie
of the Year honors in 2013. Lillard’s impressive young career
has continued to flourish, as he was named to the NBA West
All-Star Team in 2014. He is also a two-time NBA Skills
Challenge champion.

franchise history and 500+ core gameplay improvements delivering
