I think Joel Embiid is symbolic as the cover of NBA Live 19.
It’s a message. Embiid is a catalyst for NBA Live. You know what I’m going for. Trust the process.
Adrian Perez catalyst does not go there
If ea wants to beat 2k just make a college basketball
R combine the ncaa and nba in the same game
NBA live is trash will never be better than 2k why they didn't release they sale for NBA live 18 NBA 2k18 did
Kentrell Morris what part of the players likeness cant be used dont you understand legally they cant use college players because the students can not profit off of it because of ncaa rules the players can’t even sign shoe deals while in college so video games are out the question
BIGJERRY_RACKSUP grow up … its ok to have two BBall games
man I've been thinking this for a while. if a college basketball game came out I wouldn't play 2k or live 😂😂
I could not stand 2k19 and decided to try NBA Live 19. I couldn’t be happier with the move.
After 2 years, would put it over 2K21 as well?
I really wanna try it even tho it’s 2 years old.
@@kevonseymourks2790 it’s still worth a try.
@@Caliboyt21 which feels more fluid? im looking to try it. 2k21 ps4 still have some stiffness
NBA Live will be better than 2K if they keep improving like this each year.
Yep u rite People have to understand live cant beat 2K overnight it takes time
Agreed!! They've come a LONG WAY
rush ya'll been saying this for like 7 years now and it's still trash. How much more time do yall need?
You gotta understand it take steps to be Number one
@@dadillonful It's not trash anymore, it's just not better than 2k. But the gap has closed substantially
7.9 is better then last years review since they pretty much hated live 18
I’m still playing NBA LIVE 98 on my Sega Genesis. The concept is still the same.: put the ball in basket.
You Don't Say?
I had that on playstation. That was my ish for awhile.
I had Live On the SNES they really haven't changed
That sounds like you should be critiquing the NBA or James Naismith more than the games themselves? What more do you want?
You tripping 😂
I played both the 2k demo and Live and damn was Live more enjoyable. 2k feels like a chore.
ItsMeStev3 that’s because you’re trash
ItsMeStev3 haters will say anything 😂😂
@@Mycarisloose no 2k is trash
ItsMeStev3 Bc live doesn’t take much skill it’s more casual
Incredible eddy I agree with you. But that’s not the main thing for me. I like that it’s more fast paced. Fast breaks are actually fast breaks. The way it should be. If 2K can just a bit quicker it would be great.
"Comes up short in personality"... Same old EA
Better than 2k being the same damn game every year. Microtransactions, shitty unrealistic player rating system, same glitches for 3 or 4 years in My Player mode.
bot of adriel
ChosenCivilTalk nope I'm sorry I'm just being realistic. I want live to be better but Still
Bruh, I can't play NBA Live after playing 2k, the gameplay on 2k is on another level, I feel so free with it, it's weird because I don't recall seeing the same animation twice, like ever... while with Live playing for a while the gameplay becomes very repetative with being able to dunk almost anytime you get close to the rim and having the same animation for alot of things with being able to shoot perfect and never miss with a sharpshooter and so on, I can go on for days.
Chester 13 💯
I'm still getting this I always was a live fan wayyyyy b4 I started playing 2k just played the demo and I loved it
Live won me over last year. The gameplay is so fun and rewarding
This game is $3.99 on the PlayStation store rn if anybody interested
I bought it
I'm about to buy it now lol
Can i play it solo?
My first time with this type of game.
Gabriel Ska Yeah you can
HlddenTalent Hell no but it’s the only alternative lol
Live needs to go back to having all the retro jerseys
Fr tho
EA Sports Need To Bring Back EA Sports BIG
I think 2k has the rights to Mitchell and Ness. The only throwbacks live and possibly only do are retro jerseys they currently make or the jerseys when some NBA teams were sponsored by Nike back in the late 90 early 2000.
Does this reviewer actually play or watch basketball regularly?
he must have been new to reviewing NBA live 19, but hasn't played the other NBA games.
yeah I know because one of angry joes videos about madden they say that "the people who review the sports games are new and don't understand the original games" they don't compare and see if the first was better or if this is better or if there are any changes at all with the sports games.
Lmao 🔫🔫🚬 haterzzz...
Probably not
bruh i get that you dont like it hence the sarcastic n64 troll. 2k got them cartoonish action figure plastic skins. that more 64
Live easily a 8/10
He gave it a 7.9/10 . So it's basically a 8.
8/10 sounds about right it has everything u need in a basketball game and not the extra bs filled with micro-transactions like 2k
2k's gameplay is much more realistic and not easy like live is.. Damn near like playing NBA hang time or something
@@glt918
So you like video games to be hard bruh this is a bball game not a first person shooter
@@Dontae_777 Naw bruh I definitely want it to be challenging. I don't want to play a game where the defenders never make adjustments and keep falling from the exact same moves and plays tf. The only thing I like about live is the real player motion everything else is for the birds, but at the same time I really don't think EA is trying to be a real Sim like 2K is...
Never thought I'd say this but, getting this over 2K.
Excellent move.
Lmao dont 2k is better
👊
Every year I went with 2k since 2k8. Now im going with Live. Im tired of the minor upgrades in 2k the past 3 years.
Ezekiel Soriano I would tell you this before you consider doing that
The only reason there’s such a leap between live 16 -18 is because of how bad those games were.
2k really is the most realistic experience of a basketball game you’re going to get
It’s actually worth the 60 dollars from the jump
If I were you I’d wait til love dropped to 40 then get it
Not normally a fan of EA's graphics in their sports games or just generally, but I must say their player models for NBA Live are pretty impressive.
its cuz they have competition they have to make a game comparable or better then 2k madden and fifa dont have that
@@travisprice57 at least fifa has pes meanwhile madden has zero competition and look at where the game is right now 😂
If franchise mode was better and few immersion things fixed... it would be a perfect basketball thing. Add better physics+injuries. Franchise mode needs depth added.
That being said... Graphics, fun factor (crossovers, dunks, layups), The One, replayability, roster accuracy totally crush 2k19.
I been playing nba 2k since the very first one but live look gud dis year imma have to grab it..
Roster accuracy? Have you played a Live title in the past 4 years? Roster accuracy & updating rosters is NOT one of their strong points.
Go play the Madden franchise mode once, made by the same company, and then try to keep getting your hopes up. It's not going to get any better .. and 2k19 isn't even out yet, how do you know it "Crushes" 2k19?
@@rickgrimes3190 Pure facts. These dudes haven't even sniffed 2K19, which offers so much more depth than Live does. Yet, Live crushes 2K? They trippin'.
I've played each game over past 3 seasons and each year has gotten better than the last. This one is best yet. Best pick and roll game! I actually use the advanced moves in this, very intuitive.
Pick and roll is cheese in Live 19. They need to fix it because it's unstoppable.
0:00 what the heck is going on with his neck at the start.
This bro ua-cam.com/video/K1Zu0aO3i-Q/v-deo.html
ewwww I just saw that. HAHAHAHA. It looks like he's a snapping turtle
Bobblehead mode unlocked.
Apparently the realistic animations according to the reviewer.
Not getting this or 2k
Who Cares 🤔
@@TrvpNuki33 i do cuz its my $$$ done with these waste games
I took a 2 year break from 2k and live just looks alot better tbh at least they’re adding new stuff 2k is basically the same each year besides minor details in myplayer
@@entertheziggy no basketball games for you man
Spiderman🕷🕷🕸🕸
This dude doesn't really sound like a basketball fan. A tru fan deserves to review da game. This guy better off reviewing Duck Hunt lol.
NBA 2K: I'm bout to end this man's whole career.
the fact that 2k rips away most functionality after every 2 years is a major turn off...you're forced to buy a new 2k every year.
I'll get this for 20 bucks on black friday👍
im also getting this and spiderman on Black Friday
get it for $35 now
U're going to wait 11 Weeks to save $15? Wow.
ill get this for $7 on psn around. December just like last year
where it is $35?
They need mark jackson to commentate in this game. "MOMMA THERE GOES THAT MAN" "HAND DOWN MAN DOWN!"
Got this at 3.99 on PSN (EA sale)! If you like sports games its a bargain!
I just bought the all star edition for 6 dollars on xbox
@@graysongamble same
@@graysongamble the All Star Edition is $3 on the PSN store
I'm enjoying the game I'm done with 2k same game as last year
You are so wrong
Trust me, keep playing EA games and you’ll come to the exact conclusion.
Suspect333 different story, same game...
I been playing 2k since the Dreamcast days but since new generations of consoles 2k is just the same just a couple of tweaks ect.. I still own 2k18 I'm skipping 2k19 this year but hey I'm loving live 19 diffrent and something fresh
Me to
NBA LIVE 19 IS THE GOAT
Live needs 2 more yrs to be worthy competition for 2k. Might get it for support. But 2k is a must
vjay11435 ha you're funny... gotta be sarcasm
I agree. They are close but they aren't there just yet.
Naaaaa Live is better this year
@@immortallegaciagamingteam9301 Street mode & The One maybe but nothing else.
I decided to pick up a bball game this year, haven't played one since 09. So I tried both 2k19 n live 19 demos, I liked live 19 way more, had more fun with it, I had more control of the player, the graphics and animations were on point. Can't wait to continue in my player mode. Kudos EA
0:50 "animation is better than 2k" then shows an awkward slow floating dive dunk
Realistic animations? JJ Barea did a standing poster dunk on Nurkic the other day when I was playing
@@Brando_vii he might have an xbox and ea access.
Retnaworthington 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
😂😂😂, I passed the ball to Dj Augustin underneath the basket and he did a standing dunk like he was shaq smh
You can even go coast to coast with Shaq between leg cross over spin and dunk like MJ. But live fan boys will praise it as "simulation" lmfao
But JJ Barea the goat tho
Live should do what 2K did back in the days, when they were almost half the price of Live was.
Only that way I see Live getting people to try it again.
It's nice to see IGN calling 2k out for shameless implementation of microtransactions.
guys i played this game. and... this is worth it to buy more realistic career mode and smooth gameplay. you must play this game and see the graphics by yourself. and you will amazed.
JavanieZe do they let you change the jerseys for the league mode?
@@julianstallworth2771 Yupp
I have a few questions if you could help. If not i understand.
In NBA you can basically play franchise mode and start out with a expansion team. Then you go right into the draft. You can trade for picks and blah blah. Each new season has interesting off seasons. To me that was the funnest part.
Is there anything like this in nba live?
Also in 2k you can do a draft with your friends and play a season. Do they have that?
I mean if sound/commentary is all that holding it back then I can consider checking this out then
Glad they finally switched to the same engine as FIFA and Madden.. it's about time! Keep improving.. I will support it.
I got both 2k19 and Live19 I like them both
rush rush thank you, both games can be enjoyable. I don’t understand why everyone can’t see that.
Yep
Same. I got both. I play 2K for MyLeague and Live for The One
Same every year, but u always give it score more than 7.5
NBA Live 19 is extremely different to Live 18.
Of course it's the same every year it's a sports game
Live 18 got a 6
live hasnt gotten a score above 7.5 since live 10 wtf r u talking about?
Anthony Bradshaw he must not know the difference between live and 2k
Live should really put work into the franchise mode
Anyone else get a 2k18 ad before the video?
Lack of commentary but excellent game overall.
EA refuses to listen to the people
The commentary is fine. Best NBA game this year.
Nope. Still needs work, I'll wait for Live 20
Have you tried it? Its legit giving 2k a run for its money
Tyvin Stevenson ya it has improved a lot but the movement still looks off and the commentary is pretty weak.
The one is dope. And no micro so it’s fun
jigsaw jay007 that because you play 2k too much. You are used to seeing the way their player model types move and react.
The fact that the next year will be 20 is really depressing and makes me feel old af
Players move more realistically
*Vucevic jumps from complete stand-still 6ft from the basket and dunks it all over Horford's head
Graphics A
Soundtrack A
Gameplay C-
Stats don't matter on this game and the animations are 🚮 . But there's fun to be have if you don't take it SERIOUSLY
10 bucks on the XBOX Store for the next 6 days
Live is improving significantly faster than 2K. EA didn’t get 2K this year, but they’re really REALLY close......so close that I’m actually convinced that Live will be better than 2K next year.
They’re miles away from 2k, and I’m talking miles in the tens of thousands
Having dinner and life is a videogame
needs MOAR JoEL EmBiiD
*alwaystrusttheprocess*
even though nba 2k19 is better than nba live 19. i will buy this game because 2k is just the same as last year..... and i will buy this for a change........ nba 2k really needs competition because they become complacent and over confident on improving the game
So this is why 2K does James Harden stats dirty in MyTeam.. every year can't play with my fav player.
lol he really sat there and compared the animations to a game that came out last year
The hate is real
right
It’s literally on sale for four dollars on PlayStation 4.
Comments
25% about how ign reviews sports game terribly
75% about how EA copies 2k
only problem is you can't block lay ups in this game, almost at all. and once in the paint, all lay ups go in.
a sports game review in just 30FPS? what year is this!?
i played both demos and i loved the live demo i just couldnt stop playing, thats what 2k needs
So EA didn't force as many micro-transaction as 2k I'm surprised by that.
they didn't have in micro-transaction in live 18 either. Your point??
That's because they don't have the NBA crown yet they are trying to get it back from 2K just look at Madden if they ended up getting Live they will do what they are doing with Madden don't be fooled neither company is different they are all greedy.
@@SlacknIsAScammer LUT has but I get your point. Let the game start selling a million copies per year. EA will add MT faster than you can blink.
@@sarlndr but it's never going to get to that level again so don't expect MC anytime soon
@@SlacknIsAScammer Oh I know. Live sold 300K+ copies for the entire year last year and that was with then practically giving the game away for $5. They aren't going to hit a million anytime soon. MT don't bother me at all either way. I'm not coming up out of my pockets for some in game attire.
Definately deseverves a 7.5
I'm gonna be a 7'1 woman called bubbles just to piss people off online
Oh my, that psychadelic field does it! x'D
NBA Live should start releasing their games either early Spring (April ) or early Summer (June) when 2K dies down.
The best NBA game!!!!
Live is definitely improving. Two or three more years and 2K might actually get serious competition.
Tuff
@@Cw1047 no
@@legend._ wym no
At this point I'm getting both because 2k and live are really changing I would love to experience both games their both great.
Nba live base graphics be looking like a bball game in the google play store
Nba live is back 💯✊✔
Not quite!
Lmao stop it
NOT today!

Not Enough Loot Boxes - IGN 6/10
This is the best basketball game I’ve ever played, luv it
..it's on sale now for $3.99, so why not?
what do you think now?
But does this game have annoying microtransactions? (Oh not that much I see.)
Can we buy NBA 19 or wait for NBA 20.. please suggest any one
It's not the same engine as madden. Madden is running on frostbite, NBA Live is not running the frostbite engine but rather a different engine with real player motion
I wish ea would invest in a boxing game instead of nba live
live gives us lots of bball improvements. 2k gives us scooters. yall choose
I hate the direction NBA2K has gone, but...it's still better than this.
3/10 - Too much basketball - IGN
Want to beat 2K? No micro transactions
"suggested game: NBA 2K16" O O F
So no mention of how floaty the movement is. The games plays like you're on ice.
I just bought this to support Live and so we can bring competition back.
I'm done with 2k. It's too complicated and difficult. Started the career mod and struggled to get 6pts. Easy layups and dunks even seemed challenging. Hope the control are more practical here.
Why ea not using frostbite engine?
Does anyone notice that if you hold B or circle on offense in NBA live 19 the defender runs away almost 90% of the time, allowing for a wide open jump shot? Holding B is there so you can hand off to your teammate, but the defender leaves in the process. It takes away from the game because you score almost automatically when doing this
Just picked it up for 10 dollars on ps4 🔥
That looks nothin like Shaq thou 😂😂😂
Just bought it on sale for 6 dollars in the Xbox store.
Who cares about culture, it's about the gameplay!
Ohh cool spiderman is out
Seth deserves a raise
I wish madden had competition like NBA Live because they want to have the best game so they improve it
IGN just so you guys know in there future updates they will refresh the commentary lol so you guys might want to bump up that score. Go to live 19 page and see for yourself.
This is a better game then nba 2k20
7.9 Are you insane? Have you ever played a basketball game before? no, 5.0 at best. It still has a long way to go.
This reminds me what 2k8 was to live 8 not as great ( Yet) but learning and improving , at this pace if 2k doesnt step up Live will chatch up probably by live 21 or 22
10/10 better than nba 2k20
Old NBA with better Animation
I played this game when it came out yesterday... Its pretty easy. The blowby is impossible, defenders magically stop you even if you're a step ahead, blocking mechanics are weird. I counted, and in my second game in, i was blocked about 9 times when driving to the rim. Dunking is to frequent. The animations are stiff, and not as fluid as it could be. Overall, its solid, but it doesn't have personality (post game interviews, cutscenes, etc.)
This game still has tons of issues, but for some reason just looks more fun to play that 2k. Probably getting Live this year.
