Looks like the roster editing, or lack thereof, is in the retail version.

Auto subs - That I'm not sure about, as I've only played "The One".

Having a lot of fun with this game, and as others have mentioned, the gameplay is much smoother than the demo.

Did EA confirm that roster editing is gonna be in the retail version?

Am I the only one with a small head on the one mode? I tried recreating my player (6'0", 190) and my head is smaller than it should be during gameplay. It's a little bit of an eyesore.

Game is smoother than the demo but it's a band aid.

Players are a little too fast at their highest momentum.

In my opinion online play was a disaster. H2H is similar to some old NBA Live games were you can go a million miles an hour all the time and throw full court passes at will.

It took me about 15 tries just to get one person to play me (couldn't find anyone when searching)

Franchise has no fantasy draft option, and they don't even have all the players on the Kings roster (missing Papa G, 1st rounder last year.

When switching an inactive player slot for my active player on franchise mode, hoping he would pop up, the game froze, and it froze twice when doing this.

So the one mode seems extra broken with ball hogs until they make more penalties, auto subs legacy issue exists, no roster editing, legacy issue with ball deflating, legacy issue with tip only going to the PG.

They've made so many strides. I pre ordered because of it and I'm not pre ordering 2k because of Live.

But now I'm re thinking everything. If they put all their efforts into fixing franchise and adding roster editing, will h2h still be a million miles an hour with fulcourt passes? Will they every fix legacy issues like no injuries in play, tip to pg or ball deflation? If they fix all those things somehow will they miss half of what's here? I really don't think they can fix all of these issues. It makes me think I may have to drop my pre order. Especially knowing things that happened in live 16, about mid season you couldn't find anyone for h2h online.

I'm really struggling and wanting to support. Great game but countless legacy issues here

Guys,

When your player is traded to another team of your choice, can you see who you're traded for? I'd like to know if the rosters are affected when you're traded. I saw a video where Jimmy Butler plays with the Bucks after the trade.

Yup. It's right there when you pick the team

+ Gameplay feels even smoother than the demo

+++ 76ers are playable competitively!! Embiid is a beast, Fultz is good complement, and Simmons is on his way to Lebron 2.0 in Live 18.

+ +Looks like they put in the beginnings and the guts of a Madden-like CFM, just needs to be available as a stand-alone online

---- No excuse for the lack of a play a friend feature (didn't see one)

- WNBA is bland, for now.

--- Editing?

My biggest concern as a long-time Live supporter, is the CPU decision making at the end of games. I haven't had a close game yet to really assess it but I've had one example already where the CPU was ahead by 5 with the shot clock off in the 4th and they just ran their offense like normal and took a shot with 10 seconds left rather than just running the clock out...this worries me...

you can also create another user profile on xbox and pay $4.99 for a month of EA Access on it and get another 10 hours of all of the trial games, if so inclined but yes owners of game are locked out after ten hours until 9pm PT on the 14th

Small thing I noticed, but EA forgot to add the Portland Tail Blazers new logo on the scoreboard/stat overlays and scorers table. They still have the old version from last season

Yes, I saw this when I played in both play now and ultimate team modes.

I got to say, overall, the wind has been taken out of my sails with Live. Live is still fun but I honestly wouldn't buy this for 60 bucks.

I can live with CFM not being in (although in my humble opinion, it is 2017 and this should be something basic included in the game. Madden has had CFM for how long now???)

But the lack of ability to play a friend in ANY mode is sort of a deal breaker for me. I mean it seems most people don't get sports games to just play randoms, but enjoying playing their friends.

Live Devs, I am in NO WAY bashing you and I can see the strides made from 16 to 18, but PLEASE don't ignore the rest of the community that looks for more from a sports game than just "The One" modes.
