    Opinions are opinions, but this in particular stood out because I find that when Lives players have anything but a neutral face (screaming, smiling, wincing etc) even the most photo realistic renders start to look wacky...to the point they dont even resemble the player anymore....

        I couldn't agree more..... I've been a NBA 2k guy since the beginning, but I have to admit that I am enjoying the heck out of Live. I'm not saying 2k is bad, but I really find myself playing Live more..... A lot!!!!

          There's a new update out.

          Also live Devs confirmed they are working on a new update for next week that should tune the ankle breaking animations. Thank goodness.

              Is it a patch or one of those updates that happen while the game loads?

                I was gonna say add commentary to the list but I’ll give EA the benefit of the doubt that they are on it. I know they said they are adding commentary but it’s real bad right now.

                I would also add interior defense needs work. Not blocking but it’s way too easy to pass the ball into easy dunks at the rim.

                  I think it's just an update at the start of the game.

                        Wow, when a game changer is fed up, you know things aren't good. To me, it's sad how there's so many fanboys that are quick to call me(or imply) that I'm some sort of 2k sheep, when I bring up obvious and glaring problems with live 19, and even when I tell them that I preordered 18 last year, they don't care. They want live to be good so badly that you're 'the enemy' to them if you're fair, and don't overlook issues that the game has.



                        And some of these guys make so many excuses for live, from the 2k fanboy card, to the snarky you don't play live, to trying to dismiss reviews that mention flaws as not mattering, etc, instead of demanding more from live. Aren't you guys tired of seeing reviews praising Live for making 'tiny baby steps, yet the game overall is lacking' every year?



                        The way ea described the ai 'going back at you' if you scored on them worried me. I guess it's better than 18, where literally everyone is attacking the basket, but it's still not right. No, I want player and team tendencies, not some arcade/streetball baloney. Who cares if they 'add commentary' throughout the year, when the base commentary is bad and generic?



                        And the silliness I've seen from the streetball modes, women doing unrealistic monster dunks with ease(I feared that mess was going to happen when I first saw the trailer!), to me It's an arcade game at this point. That may be fine for a cheap $10-20 game(which I'm expecting by black friday) to goof around in occasionally, but I had much higher expectations for live 19. Why not just bring back nba street then? Then at least, the silliness would be acceptable.
                        One second you are saying people are being unreasonable and making excuses for the game, then the next you are burying the game saying it's only worth $10.

                        Then you say people are trying to marginalize your opinion by calling you a 2K fanboy, then you are throwing around that same term to insult fans of this game. C'mon.

                        There are tons of 2K devotees who can admit Live 19 is way better than 18, even if they are planning on sticking with 2K this year. And they somehow don't fill the need to react to every positive opinion of Live with dumbfounded bewilderment and/or anger.

                        The games are totally different, and people are allowed to admit that 2K does specific things way better than Live, but still prefer Live and give it a good review. It's not burying your head in the sand and being spiteful to 2K to feel that way.

                          They have a lot of work to do with the Face Scans. This is ridiculous.

                          1. Mike Conley hasn't been touched in years and Jevon Carter wishes that he had hair like that. LoL

                          2. Kelly Oubre hasn't been updated since Live 16.

                          3. Jahlil Okafor hasn't been updated since Live 16.

                          4. Dzanan Musa has a C.A.P. model

                          5. Dion Waiters hasn't been updated since Live 15.

                          6. Kevin Huerter a C.A.P. model

                          7. JaMychal Green has a C.A.P. with his tattoos

                          8. Milos Teodosic is way off.

                          9. Josh Jackson cut his hair before the season was over.


                          I have faith that they will correct these issues during the season.

                            I've been hyper critical of this game since before it's release and after, in some areas rightly so. Franchise not being complete, no online modes outside the One (online franchise, etc) and lots of bugs. This has been the buggiest version of Live I've ever played as well, I know, I've played them all.

                            But dog gone you EA, this is the best gameplay in Live since 10. There are some glaring issues: post play needs lots of work, commentary is very repetitive (I'm holding judgement since it's supposed to be dynamic throughout the year), but the gameplay is so realistic in the way the players react, move and seeing the stars play and act like the stars... I mean all I can say is you've about nailed it outside these flaws.

                            I've been playing on all Star with the Suns in my franchise and am 4-5. I broke a 4 game slide against the Jazz tonight. Mitchell had 30pts, but his teammates were trying. They just couldn't hit shots, so he went beast mode and nearly brought them back. I won 52-46.

                            I played OKC the previous game, I was out of it from the beginning. George and Russell were the 1-2 punch they're going to be this year without Melo clogging the wheel this year. I lost 60-47.

                            NJ caught me off guard, I was in it and went on a sweet run in the 2nd quarter to close to 34-40. I missed two wide open jumpers that would've seen me take the lead. The mentality meter swung the game the other way. I had them reeling at that point. Those misses gave them confidence and they blew me out in the 2nd half. Lost 74-43...

                            I played Portland, CJ and Dame were killing me. They played just like them, stepbacks, drives, 3's, and the L. Lost 59-53...

                            I'll not go further, but it's been impressive.

                            I've praised you EA, now fix your bugs and give us depth in franchise, give us online franchise and editing inside franchise to allow changes during the franchise in case real life trades go down and we can edit players jerseys and teams with a trade override. Thanks :-)

                                Review from OS? Ign? Gamespot? Not that I care about other people reviews, I was just curious about which latest review you were referring to.
