Makes me wonder about the future of NBA Live. Are they testing sales and feedback for this year before deciding to use Frostbite engine? I hope I am wrong.

I am glad they are concentrating on game play.

Frostbite is not very important. They are doing the right thing here and focusing on enhancing a good base. It took about 3 years but they finally put out a product with good mechanics overall. Let's hope EA Play shows the big improvements

Here's the direct quote from that Game Informer article, and to me it seems a bit misleading in regards to this.

"Although NBA isn't on the Frostbite engine like Madden, the franchises now share feature-related technology at EA Tiburon which could make the sharing of feature sets easier in the future."

This just seems believable to a certain extent for me. Like why not say" NBA Live" or "Live" instead of just "NBA"? How's it considered "feature-related technology" if they aren't on the same game engine technology? Maybe the devs on Live 19 are now influenced by Madden devs on features? Even tho they'd still be on separate engines that's what I'm getting from this.

Interesting. Frostbite is for outside elements right? Shading, shadows etc?

It is a graphical engine. So yeah, purely for graphics.

Gameplay being the number one focus is huge. Expanding on the one makes so much sense too. I can’t wait to see more.

They are implementing “real player motion “ from madden 19 and FIFA 18? into live 19.

This quote from the article doesn't sound good...."Our focus is to still do things differently; we want to build a game for a younger, new demographic.”

I hope I am wrong but sounds like Franchise mode is not a priority again with this statement. Sound like more gimic modes will be area of concentration.

“We tried to address at least a couple [of criticisms] regardless. Our focus is to still do things differently; we want to build a game for a younger, new demographic.

This scares me.

Yup that “younger new demographic” comment can’t be good. Hope I’m wrong but that seems like an  ultimate team and competitive online driven statement.

Not worried about Frostbite. The graphics and lighting are already great in this game.

What I am pumped for is that it's getting "Real Player Motion"

With concentration on gameplay and RPM, I'm pretty excited.

"Our focus is to still do things differently; we want to build a game for a younger, new demographic."???

This is kinda a weird statement seeing the demographic that plays these sports games are already younger people. Does he mean they are trying to make the game to kids? Cuz if so then they are totally trying to go a more "arcade-ish" route. I sure hope that is not the direction they are heading.
