are you serious? LIVE was going way downhill since the PS1/N64 era was winding down. Only 2 highlight releases since the early 2000's.
2005 and 2010, that was IT.
NBA Elite 11 = I STILL got it, it is absolute GARBAGE :silvugh:
NBA Live 14 with Kyrie on the Cover -

NBA Live 15 with Lillard on the Cover -
NBA Live 16 -
2010 was the last good one, then 2k took over. I was a loyal live player since Live 95 B.
Probably before that.
I was an EA stan, had every Madden since the Eddie George cover.
2k was garbage to me on the dreamcast, players would get stuck to defenders like magnets.
To me the football 2k was trash outside of one, where Urlacher was the best linebacker and they had that dope ass ESPN presentation

the
2k was garbage ol second rate games that were priced at $19.99 (cool its cheaper but it showed in the menus and presentation and mexhanics)
What changed the tide was myplayer mode. Combine that with the joke that elite was, (i never played it after seeing andrew bynum jesus glitch lol) and 2k tookover.
But if live can go back to that nice fluid dribbling and easy to get to the paint with a lebron, and easy to dribble around players and easy to block dunks from the front, not just those cheesy 2k blocks when a player is winding back a tomahawk.
If they can get back to that style of play again, where if your player was a 92 speed point guard you were outrunning a 52 speed center and hes not keeping up with you.
Then live can start getting my money again
