    Also, interior defense is much better and tougher in LIVE 19. It was super easy to get to the hole in 18 but in 19 you have to put in a lot of work.

      Time to mess with sliders. There’s a lot of core mechanics to appreciate. Hopefully I can get a solid nba experience with sliders.

      That said, visually I wasn’t a fan of the nba side. Idk but it looked like a big downgrade from 18. Last year looked like a real game. This year a lot of things seem dull and dim. Not a fan.

        Exactly. The real motion player movement is simply incredible and has made LIVE 19 beyond miles better than live 18. Anyone who cannot see the major and powerful difference must not be playing the right game.

            A quick, possibly worthless impression of the opening 3 on 3 because I had "half a min" to play before heading out on vacay - Felt and looked good. Played a full game of that then restarted and got a couple buckets in before hitting the rd.

            It seemed the steal button was responsive, as usual, but I was a bit distracted while playing but other than that, I liked.

            What's concerning is reading about how the actual "game of NBA" is a let down compared to The One. Ironically, that's what I felt about last year's demo which is apart of what lead me to buy 2K18, only, when I was kinda feeling I may buy both. There were also annoyances about that demo in terms of gameplay and movement that factored in.

            Anyway, won't get to play again for a week. Can't wait, tho.
            Just cuz you pour syrup on ish....

              I don't remember people complaining about it for past demos of Live. That would be the best comparison, not comparing it to completely different franchises.

There is little to no screens or off ball movement which makes driving to the hoop the only real option. Cpu defenders don’t play help defense so you can’t even drive and kick to an open guy. They just stay with their man no matter what and are happy to let you drive.

                The games I played were dunk fests. I must have had 20 dunks a game.
                This was the very first thing I looked for when I fired up play now, and you're 100% right. For me personally, it's a game killer and I won't be purchasing because of it. I just can't fathom how this is still prevalent.

                Maybe I'll pick it up for $10 if it ever gets to that price point, but that's about it. Which sucks, because I really wanted this to be my main game this year.

                  Spent a few more hours with it and I’m liking it more and more. I’m also enjoying the commentary a lot more too. It’s definitely far better than Live 14, 15, 16 and 18. They’re going to update it each month so hopefully it gets even better.

                  In terms of gameplay, it plays like a dream for me. I love how physical the game is too. You feel each bump and I love the emotion options on the right stick after a foul is called etc.

                  Anyone knocked over the camera man yet??

                  I also love how the PS4 controller light goes green with a good release

                    As far as NBA Play Now is concerned, the game is only a slight improvement over 18 IMO. Yes the players move better and some animations are smoother but overall it's just kind of bland.

                    Commentary and atmosphere leave a lot to be desired. And the player models/body types seem a bit off. Faces are great. Body types I'm not digging. Westbrook with narrow shoulders doesn't look right.

                    The game is definitely The One centric. And I'm sure people that are into that will enjoy it. This is probably a skip for me. I see that the other game has cleaned up some of my main issues so I'll roll with that.

                    I think they've found their niche in the marketplace with The One. Hopefully it sells. Just not my thing.

                      The first year of a brand new commentary team is usually rough...you can only record so many lines and it takes a while to really build a library of sound bytes. Even if this is just a section of the commentary, I doubt the deadpan delivery is something that can be corrected.

                      As far as the gameplay though, the pick and slip is definitely a money play right now...the AI just cant cover it....going to put a video up when I can....half court defense is pretty solid otherwise but this is a bit worrisome especially if it makes it to H2H..

                      A random +: I really like the celebration option after And 1's, really nice touch

                        Just played in The One mode for about 2 hours. Haven't touched the NBA side yet.

                        The opening 3 on 3 game felt really good. Playing as A.I., VC, and Shaq were a lot of fun.

                        Lots of hair and facial hair options in the create mode.

                        Defense no longer has those locked and forced animations which is very welcome.

                        Driving to the basket seems harder, which is good.

                        I honestly like what I played. I'm kinda still in debate though about whether or not to get it. I'm definitely more of an NBA guy than a street baller type guy.

                            I love the RPM and how it affects movement and momentum. The post game is NVA Live for sure but nothing you cant get past. With the exception of passing the ball, the ball speed appears to be on point. It felt the same way when the demo dropped last year as well and then once the patch hit it had that floaty feel to it. I hope it stays the way it is. For the minimal time i had with it last night its def a step up from last year. Ill have more time tonight and will be looking HARD at the AI's mid-range game. That broke tye game for me last year.
                            The midrange game is DEFINITELY there.

                              Man the little animations in this game are a great touch. The game feels more "alive" than the usual basketball games of the past. I also like that if the player isn't facing the to where he can see a pass then it will hit him in the body or something rather than him making a blind catch.

                                Definitely feels more alive. Regarding the NBA side of things - they’ve nailed the atmosphere. The arena lighting is awesome, the floors look great and I love how the crowd move and react. I want the full game now.
