So unless Mario Hoops comes back, we have no shot of a good basketball game in the future, huh?

Damn.

Fuck that sucks.

19 was really fun and made huge strides.

Hopefully they can move the engine to Frostbite and be ready for next gen launch.

This is a bummer; NBA Live 19 was the foundation for something really good and the 2K series has taken steps back with each yearly release

I think EA really needs to bite the bullet and do a NBA Live Next-Gen with a AAA development schedule.

Meaning, 3 years with no releases in between.

Which will never happen, so we are stuck in 2K's microtransaction bubble for life

Elite 11 was canceled, they skipped 12, Live 13 was cancelled, they skipped 17, and now Live 20 is cancelled.

Not a great decade for EA's basketball games.

Honestly, they should just forget all this bullshit and bring back NBA Street.

19 was a huge step in the right direction. So sad to hear they had to cancel. Hopefully the next gen reboot is built off of that foundation.
 
For fuck's sakes, EA. We need someone to keep NBA 2K in check
EA was not doing that by releasing the games, so not releasing this one isn't going to make much of a difference. The entire series needs a rethink and new approach for next gen, because even with microtransaction situation becoming literal gambling hell for 2K, their brand is nigh-invulnerable in the eyes of the public. This war was lost even before they set foot on the battlefield.

Stop fucking making NBA games EA, you guys are incompetent as fuck.

Stop fucking making stupid comments...

Live 10 is still the best b-ball game ever made and Live 19 was a lot more fun than people give it credit for.

Too many people remember the Elite bug video and just roll with that because it's the cool thing to do.

Ehhh, can you really blame them?

Something is wrong with the game. They could release it and the masses would gobble it up, but they'd rather not.

Don't worry, you'll get your yearly basketball game next year or whatever. You'll live.

This is too bad. I actually grabbed it when it was SUPER cheap a few months back and it's actually a tight, responsive, really fun basketball game. Where 2k has turned into this unresponsive, canned-animation-fest...

Not to mention the insane monetization of 2k. This is disappointing.

Duh? It wasn't out yet and the season had started. Had they ever even mentioned it being a thing?

Man, they did a great job with 19 and its a shame to see it being cancelled. 2K just gonna push even harder with MTX, hopefully the next installment comes out well.

EA should focus on bringing back NCAA March Madness now that they can pay for player likenesses and use their NBA license to bring back NBA Street because 2K now owns the NBA sim space.

Man these guys are so incompetent, the community is ready for a 2K competitor.
I know i'm part of the problem buying it every year but if you love the NBA and basketball games there is just no competition...
