The State of NBA Live Franchise Mode

Re: The State of NBA Live Franchise Mode

I think that's a given, by FAR.

I just want them to pay some attention to the actual NBA aspect of their game.

I'll be playing around with Live's franchise this year since you guys have intrigued me about it's details. Kinda wanna see for myself. I haven't touched franchise since I think 07.

I just don't understand why they are dropping 7k words. That seems unnecessary. Lol

Lol it really does. MyLeague is already so customizeable that it makes you wonder how much else they can possibly do to it. There are so many options when setting it up that it almost feels like it is too much.

I would think that 7,000 words would be about something extraordinary. Not just saying that they are basically going to tweak a few things on what they already have.

I'm hoping that they are somehow going to bring the G league into the mix and make it playable, and maybe overseas will be incorporated somehow. Then I hope Live follows in those foot steps

I really hope NBA Live eventually puts a lot of detail into the WNBA. So many of the female athletes play YEAR ROUND. How cool would it be to have an in depth WNBA franchise mode where you play the WNBA season over the summer months, then head over seas with different players signing with their European teams etc and you spend the rest of the year in overseas leagues and tournaments (which is sadly where most females athletes make the most money) Then the cycle repeats. It's literally year long fun.

Then they could have fun with it with details like injuries while playing overseas means that a player won't be back until after the all star break in the WNBA.

This would be challenging as well, because the WNBA is very cut throat when it comes to roster spots. They can only have 12 on their roster and with only 12 teams, that's only 144 players and a lot of talent is cut each season with no teams having room to pick them up. Therefore, if a player is going to miss time with an injury, you'd have to make a tough call on if you keep them on the roster, or cut them to free that spot up for somebody to help your team now.

This is a crucial decision since each game counts so much in the WNBA since they now have the playoff system where the top 8 teams go regardless of conference. I am a huge fan of this system so it really adds to the enjoyment when you don't have to worry about how one conference is better than the other so the playoffs won't be fair. Now it's best of the best

That's just a few of my ideas as a hard core WNBA fan who enjoys NBA live and sees so much potential in how to best use the WNBA now that they've put them in the game

Sounds like “franchise info will be released in late July”. Seeing is believing for me.

Re: The State of NBA Live Franchise Mode

2k just released a long blog outlining how detailed and improved their MyLeague mode is. It really would be nice to finally hear something from Live 19, especially since "late July" never happened

Re: The State of NBA Live Franchise Mode

Just skimmed the 2K developer blog. I think the train has left the station. Funny thing is, I would still buy NBA Live just to have a different franchise experience -- as I'd be willing to lay down $120+ for my NBA fix. However, NBA Live must must show that there is an improvement over the incomplete franchise effort of NBA Live 18. Waiting.

In my case, it needs to be a considerable improvement, not last second throw in stuff.

I'm to the point where they have to earn my buy... There's no reason that they can't allocate the necessary resources to have a playable engaging mode by now.

Re: The State of NBA Live Franchise Mode

I'm almost to the point that only a WNBA franchise will make me want to buy Live 19. 2k19 has such a detailed myleague and the customization is off the charts so there's really no reason to buy live for a worse NBA franchise.

I'm in love with The One mode in live 18, but I'm not going to buy the new live 19 just for that. I'm getting that fix from 18 still.

War's over for me; 2K dropped the big one today.

Re: The State of NBA Live Franchise Mode

In my opinion it's pointless comparing any other sports games franchise mode/s to 2K as what the team at 2K are able to do is far and beyond. That team is just flat out talented. So I'd never base a Live purchase on a comparison of franchise modes.

My issue with NBA live however is it's not even doing things similar to FIFA and Madden. I was impressed with the overall progress of live 18 but in the end never purchased it as there's only so much modes like the one grip me. The NBA side HAS to get better for me to make the purchase this year.

Oh I'm not comparing the two, nor would I personally ever make my decision to buy Live on whether or not their Franchise competed with 2k.

Their Franchise just needs to be a solid, engaging experience. I personally wouldn't ever be able to play 2 games that both have insanely deep modes such as 2k. There just isn't enough time in the day.

But I do want Live to have just the basics that I list in my article... That's not reinventing the wheel. That's taking the wheel from a 15 year old beater... and slapping it on. I just want, what we've had in the past with Live.

There's absolutely no reason why it shouldn't be there.

Comparing the 2 wouldn't be fair to the guys at 2k! They are so far ahead they need to be looking outside their genre to find a comparison!

Oh I completely agree. I was more making the statement in regards to myself. But yes as you said Live is lacking the basics and thats why I won’t jump to purchase it anytime soon. Rent or borrow it to try, maybe but at this moment I need to see more.

Re: The State of NBA Live Franchise Mode

The game comes out next month(on my birthday lol), but as with last year it seems like it's hard for the live team to give us info. I check here daily to see what franchise improvements have been made. We should know what's in and not in the game by now. As of now, it seems like it's the same streetball stuff + female players for The One mode, which may not be enough to get people to pull the trigger...when it first releases anyway.


If live 19 is like last year, you could probably get this game for dirt cheap on black friday.
