Thanks Brandon.

Not even touching franchise until some of these problems are fixed. No cpu trades and cpu logic on accepting and declining trades is a big one.

If anyone is a big time offline franchise player like me, you can expect to be disappointed by live 18's offering. There's quite a few things wrong with it, but it's main problems are that it feels barebones and lifeless.

I haven't got to this point yet in my franchise, but I heard that you can't even scout players for the draft!

With the exception of The One's lack of a team chemistry system which breaks the immersion (calling for passes and commanding shots go up at will), I think it's easily the cleanest, non-obtrusive, most enjoyable, and least obnoxious career mode I've played in a basketball game in a while.

Sorry but you openly admitted to playing on PRO DIFFICULTY... Franchise mode is what it's always been so if you're an NBA LIVE fan who's dabbled in it since 14 or you're an first time curious casual, it's a clean, get right to it experience without the encyclopedia depth that 2K carries... It's still a lot of fun.. FIST OF KINGS all replies are VOID until you've shown proof of SUPERSTAR status..

Exactly.... ONLINE FRANCHISE MODE ( CFM ) is a must for next year...

I don't have the game, I played live from 97 to 2007, and now i'm on 2k, but i must admit i played the demo and i LOVED IT.
Loved the feeling when you release the shot and swish the net, love the 1on1 defense, graphics ara amazing, LOVE THE BODY TYPES (muscles, body shapes) while in 2k all players look like sissies this year and you cannot change the way they look.

Why I don't think I will buy Live ? I'm a MYLEAGUE guy. I love to control everything, I want to change players attributes, players name if i want to, players height, birthdates.
And they told me in here, there is 0 costumization in Live. That's a big mistake by EA .

Can you confirm is just like that? No way to change existing players attributes, height, weight, birthdates, years pro?

Really sad,

but I guess they'll learn and add full costumization for next title. I really loved the gameplay and graphics.
