    Re: Official NBA Live 19 Impressions thread

    Live 19 has definitely improved gameplay wise and movement wise from Live 18 and is more enjoyable. I think those who enjoyed The Streets, Live Events, Pro-Am and Live Run are gonna be in for an even better time this year than last year.

    As far as the NBA and WNBA modes as well as overall customization features, lets just hope that they get more in-depth as the Live franchise moves forward, because there isn't much to ride home about them.

      Game 3 vs the Wizards.

      John wall went off. Just couldn’t contain him. If I did he hit porter or Beale lost by 5. Kawhi struggles from the field but we are able to keep it close by playing in the post. Valanciunas has a good game. Loved every second of it.

      Finished up week 1 of my franchise. The cpu actually made a trade. Mavericks traded for Poetl and gave up 2 draft picks to the spurs.

      Also 2 injuries one for 6 games one for 8. Barebones yes but franchise is serviceable.

      Have I said I love this game? Lol

Now it drops, and instead of focusing on what sells the game, we are just getting a repeat of the same doom and gloom.

        Live is just fun to play. The better control of your player makes playing locked on to your defender so much more fun. Playing co-op with 2 or 4 teammates is a blast.

        Between the crap servers and the sluggish feel of controlling players, 2K was a big reason I did not expect to like Live Run so much, which I never played last year. I was all LUT and Play Now. But LUT may not see much from me at all this year. I have my 5’11”PG up to 86 Passing, and I’m already seeing an increase in assists.

        And I love that being so short al most gives me an advantage as some guys just stop guarding me. So I’m scoring my share, too.

        I gave this a go in 2K, and I just never liked it. It didn’t help that 2K has always had crap servers, going back to MLB 2K. So I bounced off MyPark hard.

        Basketball is different than a lot sports in that there is a robust culture around pick-up games. Most MyPlayer modes are forced and feel like you are missing most of what makes a sport great. In basketball, it’s the opposite.

        The only reason I said franchise should be cut is so that it can establish what the game is, so it can judged on that instead of on a solid, but shallow, franchise mode that feels out of place in this game. Calling this less than a AAA game is ridiculous. There are way too many modes with plenty of strategic depth to think that way.

        It might not be your cup of tea, but what the devs focused on, it does great. This should review in the 4/5 range, but I expect that reviewers will ding it for a mode that no longer carries the relevance it once did. If I get hundreds of hours of fun gameplay out of a game, then the modes I don’t play don’t matter.
        Well, I get some guys are Live fans obviously..but not everyone is necessarily interested in being an advocate for the series....so focusing on what sells the game isnt really of interest to some guys ...just what things make the game enjoyable for them...and for a lot of guys, that's franchise.

        Glad you and others are having fun with the game. That's what's most important...no explanation necessary...

          Man, I can't hate and love someone's post more than yours. Can't wait for this game on Friday.

              Unfortunately no. I haven’t seen anything regarding an injury in game yet.

                I get that. I just feel like, this game is only $40. I think this is the first year we are actually getting what we are paying for.

                I'm hearing more franchise guys and more doom and gloom than anything, when, at least in my opinion, we've got a ton of positive things here. And there's enough of a foundation here, finally, to build deeper modes on

                    No in game injuries. Hopefully they come in a patch.

                          I think some things will come in a patch and fix some of the minor issues we have.

                          I would say that my biggest worry with the game is the fact that there won't be enough people to play with.

                          The past 2 days I've searched for head-to-head matches and I've had to search three or four times just to find one.

                          I attempted to play five on five today for Life Ron and they couldn't find any people so I literally had to start a match on my own.

                          It took three to five minutes just to fill one match.

                          Even if the numbers pick up right on launch sadly I expect the numbers to go back down after a few months.

                          Really it's a matter of enough optimism for live and frustration with the vc system, leading to enough sales to at least have people to play on h2h without soliciting on a forum

                            I wouldn’t worry your in between times. Lot of people are tired of the demo and waiting for release. Also most people have used up their 10 hours of access time. I’ve used almost 30 hours and thinking of getting another 10

                              You have to delete the saved data for the game in your console. From memory I think it's in storage within Live 19 save game data for Ps4.

                                I finished up the trial. I haven't bought a Live game since around '04 or '05 but have tried out I believe every iteration of Live '10 and beyond. This is the first one I've played recently that I had a lot of fun with. "The One" is a great mode and I can understand why EA seems to have put most of their resources into it from a business perspective. I'm not typically the kind of person that really enjoys the "create your own player" modes in sports games, but I put almost the full ten hours of the trial into this one.

                                That said, I'll look to grab it on sale down the line because A) I'm more of an offline franchise guy and Live just isn't there yet on this front and B) this two month window of game releases is just slammed....can't really justify two basketball games + some other big releases. Simply don't have the time for it.
