NBA Live 18 - Demo Impressions

Re: NBA Live 18 - Demo Impressions

That happened to me as well before the update. After about the third resetting it would just hang no matter how man times I restarted game or console.

Have not tried since the update but at one point I deleted my save so I had to start fresh with new player and lost all my gear and points

For better or worse, just keep retrying...

When dudes get on fire, watch out lol. KD did a heat check 3 from damn near mid court lol. He had 4 straight buckets, and just stepped across half court and drilled it.

I love the double teams and the cpu awareness of when to double.

It was always 70.

Can you answer if the update made 70 faster? Cool if you can't. Definitely seems faster.

Quick/brief Impression: Superstar level, default unchanged sliders.

I honestly think the 3 point success rate for both the CPU and USER could be tuned drastically down. I know the Warriors are a fantastic 3 point shooting team, but for my past few games, I was just chucking up threes just to see how easy or difficult it would be and it felt like I simply couldn't miss. I even checked the halftime stats and my 3 point field goal percentage were up near 75-80%. Shooting in general seems to be, to say the least, pretty easy. I'm going 4/4, 5/7, 8/10 from three point land, etc.

This involves both open and contested, guarded, in your face 3 point shots.

Just noticed that during clutch situations, the green spot in the shot meter increases with high clutch players like Curry, Durant, Irving and LeBron. Pretty cool down the stretch when you need a big shot.

I was the Warriors and I had 3 guys on fire. Klay Thompson? I was just feeding him and he hit like 5 straight 3's and I am like, "this is so sick!" Real microwave! Also, Cavs had guys on fire too It was a close game and went into overtime. We scored 120+ points. I won by 5. I've never seen shootouts like that in my life on a game.

Really? That was basically every game in 2K17 pre-patches. Lol.

Superstars matter...

I should note, this was in all aspects that said player excels in and seems based on clutch rating. I saw it specifically in free throws, threes and mid-range. I'm not sure what other areas get a boost, I'm sure D as well if they are a high level 2 way player. Syked to get the full version!

Re: NBA Live 18 - Demo Impressions

The more I play this game, the more I see new things I love and new things I hate and some old things I wish would be gone already.

But I also see a game that had the potential of being more if the proper steps were taken.

I own and will always support this company, but this might be the last NBA Live game I play, because it's only 10% to 30% better than Live 10.

I see a lot of Live 10 in this game, even going back playing Live 16. It's so different, this is Live 10.8 with updated system and graphics are barely 40% better than a last gen game.

Animations added are great and some of the same old stiffness still there and looks so awkward majority of the time.

Same rehashed commentary from Live 06, you listen to the same **** different toilet and it keeps everything dull, that was suppose to be exciting. Why there was no new presentation / commentary by all means stuns me?

The defense is still zero to none and you can score at will in the paint, been an issue for years. Post game still weak and needs better touches, at least there is a post up move, returning from Live 14.

But the more I play it just doesn't feel current generation at all, it's like still playing catch up from past mistakes, versus just trying to elevate too something new and better.

Once full game comes out and WNBA is implemented and available for play, I'll see about that too.

Why there isn't a separate season mode for WNBA also boggles my mind? You put them in play now only, that's like adding classic teams! Why implement them and not give them their own season, and even female commentators, etc. Cheryl Miller where are you?

Either way I'm already burned out on the demo, I'll let you know my true thoughts on full version in a month or so after I spend a lot of time playing it.

Also love The One mode, no complaints there!

I felt like steal's were a bit more dynamic last year, you would actually see your hands deflect off the body when not timing it right..

I'm not a fan of one steal button press turning into a long foul animation

Re: NBA Live 18 - Demo Impressions

I am really enjoying this game. I am looking forward to seeing all the different teams and how they play out.

The simplicity of the controls is what really is making this game so much fun for me.

Even though I never had issues learning on the other game. It is refreshing to just pick up and play this game and pull off some gorgeous stuff with a much easier approach.

I will say it again.......Live is really back.

I have a feeling they will tune that... It's pretty glaring (the long foul for missed steal)

Re: NBA Live 18 - Demo Impressions

After maxing out in the One, I played the Play Now game and man I'm excited for the release next month especially if they fleshed out the franchise more this year. That ESPN layout and the fact that the superstars play like their real life counterparts. It was pretty hard for me to get to the rim at times so I made the extra passes to try and get the best shot possible. The One is gonna be so dope I can't wait until EA elaborates more on the NBA side of the mode because that's really important to me. Hopefully when we reach franchise player status we can tell management who we want on the team. Also I'm hoping to be able to get some endorsements in the mode too.
