Thanks TecmoZack - good news.

No pros at all.

Live was already struggling. This just makes the situation worse.

I like how they went from the process to an up and coming if not underrated (at first) star. Good marketing.

Why did EA didn't announce anything about NBA Live already ? It's mid July. They announced pre-order of NBa live 19 last year in Late June.

It’s on their yearly press release from a few months ago. I figure that two things are a possibility.

1. Cover athlete is wearing a jersey Nike has not revealed yet like Harden in 18. Nike has 75 New Jersey’s being revealed in the next few weeks.
2. Let 2k own July like every year and hype the game from end of July/early August until launch. Constant flow.

1 is more reasonable for me. That makes sense.

2- About that i heard that they might be sick of 2K stealing their ideas who announced their game after Live last 2 years. I don't know about that one but the 1st idea is something that I can rock with.

Hey by the way if you and anyone else noticed the change in gameplay with latest updates? Finishing moves and other stuff... They added a lot of animations. I take it as a preparation for Nba Live 20. So it's possible that we'd have these moves in Nba Live 20 as well. I really like the state of the game right now. The finishing animations are much more diverse than the build version

Oh yeah. I updated rosters myself and have been playing with the Mavs. It's nice. Shooting still feels kind of off to me but I am having fun for sure.

I don't think 2k necessarily stole anything but it is just so huge and has so many more resources that it kills anything that is hyped. July 4thish is always 2k announcements for the most part. Smart marketing is to let them do their thing and then release information after the dust settles.

I am pumped to see what strides 20 has made. EA Madrid gives me big time hope.
