Just because I don't like the one or myplayer mode don't make me a out of touch gamer. It's what I like that was a stupid comment. This article is spot on I don't play online I want a NBA experience a in depth franchise mode or I'm not spending 40 or60 bills no way I'm done if it's not improved.

Re: The State of NBA Live Franchise Mode
Do you guys ever notice how spoiled we have gotten as gamers?
This crossed my mind the other day when I was attempting to stream a basketball game from my laptop to the TV with an HDMI cable. My connection was a little weak so the picture was grainy. As much as I love HD quality, I grew up watching basketball on small tvs with worse quality and loved every second of it. I was able to kick back and enjoy this game because of the fact that I didn't care for perfection, so long as I was able to actually watch the game, period.
With that being said, I feel like we as a gaming community are too needy with our expectations of franchise mode. I admit to being like this as well before taking a second to step back and look at the big picture.
Why not appreciate the product that we get. EA sports has clearly put a lot of work into this game so even if it's not super fancy and customizable like 2k, it's still going to no doubt be a fun game. 2k19 will be available as well so if that's what you want then that should be what you buy, and if not then enjoy Live 19 for what it is.
Sure, I would love a deep franchise mode, and would never need another basketball game ever if they include a WNBA franchise mode (lol) but in reality, I'm still going to buy this game if it is as fun as live 18 was.
My point is to appreciate the game for what it is. Opinions and suggestions are great, but they should never cross into criticism since Live 19 is a product that was worked very hard on.
Going against 2k isn't an easy thing to do, so having competition is a blessing in my opinion. We should unite as a community to support live and believe in the process instead of constantly threatening to not buy it if they don't put every bell and whistle on franchise mode
This is coming from somebody who has also criticized EA sports for not having this or that, but who has now seen the error in his ways and is calling for the live community to support Live 19 100%.
Appreciate the product and have fun with the options we do have or buy from the competition. Its an easy choice
That being said, I can't wait to see what the future holds for franchise mode. Feel free to check out my franchise idea thread that I posted to generate excitement for the upcoming season.
I don't mean to vent as this is only my opinion lolComment

Re: The State of NBA Live Franchise Mode
Some people get so invested in a game that it is part of their identity. They have evangelized the game for so long, that any failure of it too live up to some expectations means that they almost take it personal.
Sometimes you just have to accept a game for what it is, or just play something else. It's not a big deal. But in today's world of social media, many people would rather play gatekeeper than just be a part of a community.
Live's franchise mode was shallow and pointless last year, but I loved playing the game. So if Live's franchise mode is once again shallow and pointless, I think there is a very good chance I will still like the game. Worst case scenario, I don't like the game and I end up playing more Madden, Red Dead Redemption 2, or maybe I end up giving 2K another shot.
But expecting any game to live up to expectations that they have never lived up to before is a recipe for frustration.Comment

Re: The State of NBA Live Franchise Mode
Its not that its the fact that franchise mode has been like broken for years. Sim stats are not good, players dont get injured at least not in played games there is like no trades. The simple stuff dont even work. Right now it dosnt even need to have deep features just need simple things to work right.Comment

"It may well be that we spectators, who are not divinely gifted as athletes, are the only ones able to truly see, articulate and animate the experience of the gift we are denied. And that those who receive and act out the gift of athletic genius must, perforce, be blind and dumb about it -- and not because blindness and dumbness are the price of the gift, but because they are its essence." - David Foster Wallace

Re: The State of NBA Live Franchise Mode
2/10
Yes the still Graphics look amazing...however we have yet to see extensive gameplay showcasing RPM improvements, Zero Franchise Mode information ...especially for the WNBA (and I am not entertaining the “we ran out of time” EA corporate line that we have been fed for years) and also there are no other modes, classic teams/players etc that have been talked about.“What’s better than one billionaire? 2.....”Comment

EA Sports, where NBA Live is in year 1 of 3... Until we start a new three year cycle again next year.
