I disagree with the simulation stats. Every year we see guys rise and fall relative to their expectations. Also, there were 31 guys with 20+ PPG this year and in the season you showed there were 33. So it's not that far off.

Hayward is capable of a big year and I like that a video game captures thati t's not the same guys every year. It'd be boring if everyones overall mirrored their stats. There needs to be some guys who progress and regress within reason.

The big thing I want to see is if a guy that's say a 79 overall has a 20+ ppg season then his overall development should reflect that in the next year.

I feel like they only go up or down based on their potential and not their production, which isn't reflective of real life. A guy like Eric Gordon who had a bit of a career resurrection this year is going to jump in overall in '18 compared to '17

That's a good point, production based overall development would be an awesome idea, but you can also argue that a player can put up 20ppg and still be mediocre (it's happened quite a few times in the past).

What I can't get around however is having a team like the LA Clippers go 32-50 with 3 stars (none who were injured or traded). So that's where the simulation system falls short

That's a fair point, I will give you that for sure.

I didn't play Live 16, so maybe I'm being ignorant. I just feel like I like some randomness, but at the same time I do understand how it can make no sense.

This year there shouldn't be a focus to compete with other basketball/sports games. Heck, not even next year either. I think it is important for this year and next to rebuild a strong foundation. Where next year continue to work on gameplay and add to offline modes.
Then by Live 20, maybe they can compete for the #1 basketball game

I think a lot of that is what seemore referred to in his video.

Focus on making it signature NBA Live so that we have something DIFFERENT. Not just a slightly different 2k. I never really thought about it like that, but I would prefer it.

I'm really excited for Live 18. 2k hasn't really been exciting in a while. The competition is crucial.

Graphically its good so I wont discuss that but in order for live to top 2k they must add...

+More features
+More customization
+Better animation
+More signature animation
+pro-am needs to be 4 quarters

It's shocking to me how poor the customization has been in 2k. You wouldn't think it'd be that hard to add and it's been being asked for, for years.

It seems like Live has been monitoring the 2k community pretty closely and building that into their game. For example, "The One" seems to emphasis that it's YOUR journey. It isn't a bunch of cut scenes and a story. It's career mode where you control what you do. I love that part.

I think that's a crucial feature that will help Live stand out.

Also them not making the playstyle so one dimensional as the archetype system. Also making the abilty to grind where ever you play and allow individual ratings to be boosted depending on how you play. Then having real parks in the game, not fictional parks also helps.

It helps to try see what 2k lacks in and try to have it fixed in their game. But like I said before, the goal shouldnt be too match and succeed 2k. It should be to be a strong foundation and building from there. Because 2k is obviously so far ahead with its depth alone, especially in Association. My main thing I'm looking for on season modes is that it doesn't just feel like a set of exhibition games with basic off-season features. The off-season alone in Association is what other sports games standards should be. Just can be a GM and there is enough depth off the court that can fun.
So Live fans just need to be patient. It won't be this year and most likely not next year. But by Live 20, there could be competition

Customization in 2k is poor? Says who? You must've been playing a different game. In 2k you can customize shoes, uniforms, arenas and even upload your own custom team logo that can appear on the court, unis, or in league play. There's even league expansions. Live has yet to implement these features and I doubt they will in Live 18.

I should have been more specific. The player customization is lacking. The face scan was a huge step but other then that it's pretty mediocre

I personally want each team to feel different when I play against them.

All CPU teams in FIFA, Madden, NHL all plays the same so what makes u think NBA Live will be different? I think it's an EA thing and it's been plaguing their sports franchises for years. I'm with you on this though but I just don't see it happening.
