But for others the poor franchise mode or the lack of editing is enough to make Live skippable. I can definitely see why people will prefer one game over the other (whether it's Live over 2K or vice versa). The important thing for us all to remember is that as long as we have competition in the NBA videogame market we all win. Choice is always a good thing and with both games pushing the other to the limits it's only going to lead to two better products. And like you said criticism is a good thing, as long as there is valid reasoning. If the complaint is simply "Live sucks" well then that does no one any good. But complaints like "the franchise mode is lacking features. The improvements that can be made are..." then, hopefully, EA takes notice and does work to strengthen the mode. Constructive criticism > blimdly hating

This. Well-written

Found it odd that he said he couldn't figure out who won the title when there was a news item saying it right in front of him.

The difficulty in finding out award winners is weird. And I wonder if Bird Rights are automatically rescinded when free agency starts. Shame.

How does this game NOT have a Trade Block? My mind is boggled.

The simulation engine is a problem. The Sixers won the finals against the Warriors? lol

Well, in all honesty, my hopes for Live 18 really were hinging on the career mode anyway. And that was fairly entertaining in the Demo. Especially since NBA 2k18 MyCareer is going to be such a grind fest it looks like. And I'm an offline, single player mode only guy. So I'll probably pick up 2K soon after release, and will be giving Live a shot later in the year when I can get it on a good sale just to give the career mode a more in-depth try than what we got in the Demo.

Very, very disappointed with this news. I guess that's why we haven't heard anything from EA about franchise mode. It still might be a good pickup when the Black Friday sales come rolling out.

honestly, for 39.99 I Dind't expect a lot of depth for the game modes and I was sold not by offerings but how the game played on the court. They needed the engine fixed. And for me, they accomplished that and I feel for that reason alone, got me sold and wanting to give it a chance. NBA LIve 10 was bare boned too, but played great. I'd rather have it play great than have a bunch of game modes with goodies. But that's just me.

Just a question for any of you guys who had experience with Live 16's franchise.

I personally only play franchise. I run two franchises, one with my hometown team and one fantasy draft. It's always been a goal of mine to finish an 82 game season, and I'll try again this year.

I've owned every 2k since 2k5, but I ordered Live this year strictly because I personally enjoyed the gameplay more. For a simple franchiser like myself (not simulating multiple years, making three team trades, trying to relocate a team..etc), do you think I'll be satisfied?

I was satisfied with 16. I pretty much play like you described. I don't need to set ticket prices. Scout players all that stuff. That being said certain things need to be fixed like CPU trading,injuries and sim stats. But if they fix them I think you'll be more than satisfied.
