Re: NBA LIVE 18: Leaked Screenshots

The countdown with player numbers is gimmicky and prolly not necessary since it isn't a sure thing but whatever.

No other news going on my man. Just trying to have some fun. Sorry my gimmick bothers you.

Re: NBA LIVE 18: Leaked Screenshots

Continue on. It's not like there's much cluttering the forum anyway. Have your fun Zack.

Unlike most it seems, I just have a good feeling about this year.

I have a hunch Live 18 will surprise everyone (and no, I have zero inside info on this).

It's all good Zack, enjoy.

I reckon they're trying to reignite the Live 10 goodness with added extras of a modern engine and an extra 6 months of work. I feel good about it as well!

Normal dev cycle is about 8-9 months. Since they didn't release 17, they also didn't have to go through alpha/beta/launch. Which is about 3-4 months. Plus no patch work.

So instead of a normal 8 month dev cycle, they will have had about 20 months by the time this thing goes to 1st party.

Expectations are high.

Possible days until info.

Ps. I fired up Live 16 last night and played a little Ultimate Team. Check out what I scored in a Chinese New Year pack!!!

Re: NBA LIVE 18: Leaked Screenshots

Expectations are high but they shouldn't be considering they've had similar development cycles before and didn't deliver.

I have no expectations, I'm just hopeful at this point.

Dude, I'm in the same boat as you. I have a good feeling about NBA Live 18. I am so happy WNBA is in because I've had that idea since FIFA 16 gave us the women's teams. I mean WNBA is only 10 teams, so it's not a huge hassle.

I'm not buying the other guys no matter how good it is. I'm supporting NBA Live 18 no matter if it's good or not. We need legit competition. I have faith in EA this time. I can't wait until June.

Re: NBA LIVE 18: Leaked Screenshots

Visually and audibly Live games always look and sound fantastic for the most part aside from some weird faces, but...

This game needs:

- Smooth gameplay animations
- Signature shots, dribble packages, celebrations
- Roster editing/share, slider share, draft class share
- Deep dynasty mode: Coaching strategies, team identities [competing,contending,rebuilding], editable draft classes, player mins rotations,summer league, coaches and gm pools

Online not my forte but I'm assuming Ultimate team will be good and pro-am will be fine considering you will have two different games to choose from with different gameplay styles with a ton of shoes,gear, and skills to unlock.

For offline franchise guys like me I'm hoping it's going to be worth a try. I'm not expecting anything as deep as the other game right off the bat like expansion, rebuilding, rule changes, simcast live etc. But the list I've mentioned above is definitely needed if they claim the wait is to make the game feature-full and a true competitor.

Fingers crossed.

Seriously, if they used the Live 10 engine, tuned it up real nice and slapped a shiny coat of paint on it, I would be thrilled. And I think it would sell well.

Live 10 engine slapped with the Frost Bite engine is that shiny coat of paint you are referring to...

Yeah remember when NBA Elite was cancelled? Same development cycle and they sure didn't take advantage of that. I'm not falling for it again. They can fool me once but they're not fooling me again. My expectations are the same with Live every year which is low.

Re: NBA LIVE 18: Leaked Screenshots

I won't go into too many details, but it wasn't the same development cycle after Elite 11.

The team in Canada stopped development on NBA Live, and over a year and a half later a team in Tiburon (Orlando) was put together to start development on NBA Live.
