Definitely not paying for 60 Bucks for this half assed garbage. Probably will have to mute commentary and mess with sliders a ton. Just need a blacktop mode in the streets. Ugh. No point of even diving into franchise mode.

Agree completely.

As a BASKETBALL game it is pretty good / streetball.

As an NBA GAME it is beyond bad. I am genuinely shocked just how bad it is. I am one of the rare few who has every LIVE game....and this one is the final nail on the coffin. They need to just take out the NBA part, call it Streetball 19 or something and make it a mobile game. It is embarrassingly bad compared to Madden and FIFA.

Thanks for the impressions guys. I’m a NBA Live fan and it’s the only hoop game I buy. Also, how old is this build? Seems most are forgetting this is a demo.

When it comes to a demo and commentary, isn't the norm that it's stripped down v. what's in retail?

Is it possible to change controls to "camera relative" like in 2k?

I want to enjoy this game on "broadcast cam" and "absolute" controls are making it impossible to play….

I played 18 awhile ago and we lost cuz I got beat on the boards down the stretch, and I was like sry dudes I'm still playing 2k out there. It sounds exciting tho. I just want good competitive 5 v 5 with real nba rules. I'd have played 18 with just that improvement, but seems like they did more. Like we all know, I'm not really mad at live for neglecting franchise because they have never had a good franchise mode, or one comparable at all to 2k. Ever ever. -Smak

Yeah, it takes a minute to get recalibrated. During the Brazil tournament it all came back. I still play NCAA Basketball and Live 10 a few times a month. I just enjoy basketball games and enjoy them for what they are. I've played 2K and EA basketball games for so long that I just know them. Even a gen or two later. Some of the same issues are still in both. But Live 19 is solid. Live 18 was, too. It's just the depth I think that'll kill the replay value for me again.

I haven't played this yet, is there any multiplayer in this demo like the previous ones?

There is no head to head multiplayer option like there was in last year's demo.

This year, you can only play online co-op against a full team of AI players.

The level cap for created characters is a 73 overall at level 10 on the XP bar.

Thanks for the response. One more question, is there a "gather" button like it was in 16? They took out the hop step button in 18, hoping they added it back in
