    Sorry this took so long. Been tryna get this vid out for like 3 hours. Anyways, hope y’all enjoyed the video. Currently working on a next one. I’m stuck between NBA 2K14, God of War 3, and Smackdown Vs Raw 2008. We’ll see what happens. How did y’all feel about NBA Live 19?

    As someone that not only Loved playing Live19, and followed *ALL* news that came out about a possible follow-up, allow me to offer a bit of insight:
    The reason why there was never a Live20 is twofold:
    1) The sales were much lower than anticipated. If you search UA-cam (or internet in general) you can still find videos of the development of Live20; most notably the motion capture aspects. However, towards the end of development for Live20, the sponsors/shareholders dropped out, and EA no longer had the necessary funding to finish development
    2) In response to this, EA canceled Live20 and decided to go with Live21 instead, however, with no legitimate funding, they tried to go "Free-to-play" but the NBA said *"No",* so THAT'S why we haven't had an NBALive title since 19. I hope this helps

      Tbh the suits on top (for the NBA & video game companies) are so out of touch it’s ridiculous. Iirc the reason there’s a yearly Madden is bc the NFL wants mandatory yearly games in their contract w/ EA. I wouldn’t be surprised if the NBA works the same. These execs treat video games like it’s still 2005 & are stuck in the past

      Honestly, the suits aren’t out of touch, they just care about money. As consumers, we want so much without realizing that it costs money to make these games and the model isn’t sustainable.
      During PS1 when production costs weren’t so high, there were like 7 nba games a year. Not anymore.

Players that never shoot 50% end up with ridiculously high efficiency, playoff series simulations are never close to realistic, no logic in free agency/the draft/trades. It’s just a deep game with plenty to do but far from realistic.

    Honestly, if 2k added NBA Live 19's defense system, the game would be so balanced. Live 19's multi-player was fire, and you have so many courts to play through online. I only have 2 problems with the game: 1, it is way too easy to get to the rim. It's almost unstoppable, and 2 when you try to make an updated roster, the game doesn't save your players' faces or attributes. So even if you customize your player, he will look bald, so you can't even update the game. The game had a great shot meter it was so easy to green if you were open, and the game has no ghost contests. The contest system was very balanced, and if you were contested, your green window goes away completely. You can still hit contested shots, but it's not likely.

    For me the competition ended in 2010 with 2k11. I feel like that was the game that crushed the industry. EA never seemed to recover after sitting out that year. Its funny I grew up on EA bball games dating back to the early 90s Versus series(ie Bulls v. Blazers/Lakers V.Celtics) games going into NBA Showdown and NBA Live. Even messed with their March Madness games. But along the way stuff just kind of fell off. I think NBA Live 07 put a bad taste in my mouth. I ended up getting 2k8 when I switched to a 360 console(later in the console's cycle). Then 2k11 dropped and won me over. I feel like the presentation aspects and immersion as well as the gameplay did it for me. I only wish that we could have gotten a few more college hoops games because College Hoops 2k8 was the pinnacle for me.
    IF the NBA license stops being exclusive, I want EA to make an earnest attempt at winning back some of the legacy gamers that do remember how that series used to be. I also would love to see them try to work on a college bball game(Tho I don't think its actually profitable). I just like the idea of competition in the market. Same with the football side, I want 2k to be able to make NFL sim games again.

Live is a far superior game than 2K that’s why a game that’s 6yrs old servers are still packed with people playing. I fucked with 2K until 19 and I played it but it just felt unrealistic in so many ways.

    As a 2K fan. The best NBA live game ever is 03 and 05. It was fun.
    Live 10 was good Because Mike Wang left 2K went to EA and did live 10 to bring out competition for both brands in that same year 2K 10 was bad horrible people went back to 2K 9

    NBA live 19 was a good game, but they did not make no money like Madden and FIFA games the hype was dead with EA NBA live games so it be waste of money to make another NBA live game

    Live was worser than 2k for several years but after like live 18 and 19 it was a way funner game than any 2k after that. But 19 is too outdated now with rosters and arenas obviously so rather play 2k but 2k just isn’t that good anymore at all
