    Well maybe 2K wants the ESPN rights back so it can return back to being called "ESPN NBA2K" again. Since NBA Live is the only EA Sports game with ESPN this does make some sense. But adding NFL back into 2K's control is a far stretch.

      It's an alternative alright. A mediocre alternative but an alternative none the less.

        I thought the NFL 2K All-Pro sold relatively well?

        To answer the OP's question, I thought it was a solid game and definitely deserves to return next year. The problem is...what's the magical sales number where EA decides to invest another year in it?

          It doesn't. Not to be a jerk, but whoever said 2K can get the NFL license somehow by getting the ESPN license is very wrong.

          As for Live 19, it will happen. Number 17 on the NPD is probably more than they were even expecting. I doubt Live 16 even sniffed the top 50.

          And believe it or not, sales isn't the only thing that matters. Critical reception plays a big part and Live has gotten pretty good reviews across the board. It's even rated higher on Amazon than 2K. And you may think that doesn't matter, but they read everything everywhere.

          They wouldn't have brought this game back if they didn't intend to have at least a three year plan. Their sale estimates were probably close to reality and that alone will give this game another year. They didn't expect to sniff 2K in terms of sales this year. So 17 on the NPD is not a disappointment for them.

          But I guess in reality no one knows exactly what EA is thinking or will do. So I could be completely wrong.

            Game bombed again
            It debut at 17 on npd
            So it sold less than 100k while 2K is already over 1 million and had the biggest launch since 2013 when this current gen started

              Hope this works. Like I said, no guarantees, but it’s good to have that possibility on the table.

                It really doesnt matter what they do though, as far as LIVE goes. The future of the game is going to hinge on LIVES performance. Unfortunately, the execs discussing Lives next move probably dont care about the game being a solid foundation or a step in the right direction- they are going to need to see a number they like, or accept...and I really hope Live gets there.

                Most important thing they can do this year is keep the dialogue open with the community, keep supporting the game and taking in feedback.
                saw but I wonder how much of that was preorders. There's no way people could have known what it would be before the game dropped.

Unless I missed it, I haven’t seen any feedback since release and I’m patiently waiting to see if there is any chance that the mid range, motionless AI will be fixed or is even being looked into.



                  I was an advocate for 16 and 18 at first but I’m getting pretty frustrated now.


                  Unless I missed it I've never seen the devs on here pre-release.

                    NBA Live needs to do the following to have a successful release:

                    1. Actually market the game
                    2. Put in basic stuff like roster editing, create a player (this is laughably bad at this point)
                    3. Make online feel like the game feels offline

                        The opinions of Youtube wannabe's is vastly overrated. In the grand scheme, their influence is minimal.

                        I love and play 2k18. I don't want them to stop making Live because I think it has the basis for being a good game in the future. But people like you need to stop being so tribal, it's really not as simple as one game or the other.

                          People like me being tribal?! Where have I done that? I support both Live and 2K. I bought Live every year from 96 or so up until 2006, and I bought every 2K ever...

                          Not sure where you're getting your misinformed opinions from 😂

                          I just want 2K to stop ripping off their fans and I want Live to really challenge 2K as it would be good for 2K to have a rival, probably would make them rethink a lot of their practices.

                          And Chris Smoove, the 2K community most famous member with 3 mil subs and billions of views isn't a wannabe at all 😂. 2K should thank him for literally getting thousands of people to buy their game.

                            Hopefully not because 2K is dying a horrible death and live is a small step away from being the top nba game again
                            It was a question about Live 19 but the second you mentioned 2k early on page 1 with excessive hyperbole like "dying a horrible death" it's to the detriment of the discussion and tribal in its tone.

                              If anything it's tribal in tone towards Live, but it wasn't even that

                              And if it adds no value to the discussion, which I disagree, wouldn't it better for you to ignore it rather than commenting over and over again on it making it the dominant topic on this thread? I was planning to just read the thread after that and not necessarily comment but you have made my post the focus of the thread now

                                BS, Chris Smoove and alot of gameplay youtubers made their name because of 2k, they did not make 2k it's the other way around, the agent 00, the Ipod make a living because 2k is a success franchise. I am sure if Live sold a couple of million copies of their game they would be playing more of Live 18, so lets not claim that 2k sales are a result of Chris Smoove.
