Everything is so screwed up and pushed down that dreaded quota hole that it is literally destroying the gaming community's and some are not even recognizing it. I dont know if will get what where asking for, it might just be to far gone, but I can say that I'm proud to see you step up and say what your heart feels and will not surcome to the greed and popularity vote just to appease a few hundred thousand or whatever. Ain't many built like you in this day and age that still has a real voice in the community. I'm going to fade on back for awhile, I'm disappointed in a lot that I see and I've pretty much had it. So thank you again WTF for being real and standing for what is right. Oh and as a fellow Cavs fan dont you sweat it brotha we gone get back to that dance you cant keep passion down! #Believeland.

Truly appreciate it man. And I agree.. we'll be back, sooner rather than later. Both in #BelieveLand and #FranchiseLand lol.

I really do believe EA going with a brand new broadcasting duo, has something to do with them upgrading the franchise mode too. By them doing this they'd be able to add in game injuries with fresh broadcasting lines for each player injury. So I'm remaining hopeful that this is the year EA upgrades franchise to its own replay value standard.

I was optimistic that after Live 14-16 Dynasty (which was still lacking but had some basics) came and went, they were going to correct and add-on in Live 18 to what they already had, but they didnt.
Yea, they added a new player progression system in 18's Franchise, but at the cost of the mode's simpler staple features such as trade finder, which was disappointing.

I guess EA Sports doesnt see enough dollar signs in the Franchise modes so they are more willing to put it in the backburner and improve other modes more frequently.

Im a diehard Franchise guy, so I agree with WTF and his sentiments. Just gotta wait and see if EA Sports lives up to their word on giving us something worth investing time to as far as an solo NBA/WNBA experience

I don't even give damn anymore... After reading this deeply rooted article by WTF_OS, I had to create a burner email to make this account.. I can't stay mad at the fact that this guy has been the voice, the mild temper meant approach he's took over the years to get the authentic sim side of the community heard!! This is truly a masterpiece!!! Hats off!

You don't have to let us down easy WTF_OS... We all know EA has let us down once more... We know EA believes The One will become something in the future! We know PRO AM looks exactly like NBA 2K and 2K1 on the Dreamcast to people that bought NBA live 2000 & 2001... Don't be afraid to say it! I'll do the honors!

EA WILL FAIL TIME AND TIME AGAIN IF THEY DONT REPRESENT WHAT MADE THEM!! Whenever they decide to develop NBA LIVE BASKETBALL again, that's when they'll start selling units!! Period... 2K SPORTS knows this!! That's it!

WTF_OS Thanks for sharing this with us!!! From a franchise only guy for the past 20+ years, I have ONE question for you: DID YOU DROP THE MIC????

I got burner accounts coming out of the woodwork for support. Mama I've made it! Haha.

Thanks for your support man.

I've been as vocal as I possibly can to represent this community's collective voice and the things that matter for #SimNation. Up til this point, going through the atrocity that is NBA Live 18's franchise mode, it's not made an ounce of difference.

And most definitely dropped the mic.

Fantastic write-up. I agree with every point you made about the game, which seldom happens in these kinds of articles.

I have a different outlook for the Cavs this year, but that is beside the point lol.
