Official NBA Live 18 Thread

[Draje]

Live's chance was last year. 2K17 was trash, sloppy, rushed (needed 12 patches) and the community really wasn't fukking with it.

Live had an opportunity to gain some ground and capitalize but these clowns didn't even release a game.

These dudes were by themselves on the break and had a wide open layup and they pulled a Sam Dekker. Now 2K bounces back and drops arguably the GOAT basketball game in 18. 2K went and lapped Live again in the gameplay department. I would have gladly checked out Live 17 just to not play that piece of shyt called 2K17. This year I'm not even looking in their direction.

Live can't realistically catch up. Them dropping a good game isn't enough. 2K has to consistently drop shyt game after shyt game as well and that ain't happening.

Live isn't as good in gameplay but it's far less annoying to play. 2K is legit frustrating to play because of how it's designed to make things take annoyingly long because of how greedy they are.

As primarily a pro-am player, this shyt is a chore to build up a proper player to compete. Live is so damn snappy

No lame cutscenes with Boo Boo or your wacky Asian roommates

Eeeeh. The community is tired of the micro transactions... The gameplay is good but has its frustrating moments.



If live can make another game with improvements and dope online without micro transactions they'd have a shot. It's really up to EA to stay to course.

Unless you can provide me a single sentence I said that was in the form of hating on some shyt or something I said that was untrue.

Oh no doubt. It's a shame.

Copped this for $30. I'm a casual so I can kill time with this when need be

User experience thus far has been wack. Game play been cool, but it isn't too user catered. Soundtrack is good, navigation is atrocious. For a casual at least.

The mechanic is a bit tricky to get at the start, but the penalty for releasing early as opposed to late is the way to go. It seems like whenever I release too late at the foul line I either miss or close to it. When I release early or right at the green hundo it swishes every time.

Game is fun. I am 14-2 with the bucks and about to up the difficulty a bit, I have won 11 in a row.

Season starts tomorrow.

Let's go

What’s the consensus? I copped for $30 on amazon. Is it dope, average or trash?
