Wonder if take two will get the exclusive license so that there is no more nba live, not that they need it for now but what if EA decides they care about basketball again to invest heavily into it for next gen?
Barely. Not sure why EA keeps trying. I'm all for competition. But Live can't even be considered competition at this point.
Does this partnership mean it'll be any good during these seven years? They've ruined the series for me from the start of this generation with what they've done to the career mode, so I'm glad I've got NBA Live that does a good job with it.
The 2k series is a fucking abomination. Just an absolutely rotten mess of cynical bullshit covering an outstanding basketball game.
I picked up 2K19 half off because I hadn't played one this gen, and there's no time the game isn't trying to reach into your pocket.
Yeah and imagine how much they could make off all the shitty VC bux they sell in an NFL game
A zombie is still walking so it depends on your definition of 'alive'.
That would be horrible even tho nba live is horrid still need the market to be open look how bad it is to only have madden
Agreed, 19 is actually good although it definitely isn't a big seller. Honestly with how gross 2K has gotten, I'd rather take Live.
The NBA isn't the NFL and won't do that. If anything does in the EA games it will be sales.
I think this means more actually 🤣. Fucking 2k still hasn't fixed my league online fuck them
I think if they were to stop making NBA live games altogether they would've done it by now, what if them skipping a lot of years trying to make significant changes and having no success? Yet they're still releasing Live games, I wouldn't be surprised if they took a 5 year break and returned afterwards.
Five years would be way too long. If they wanted to take time off they would need to at least be there for the next PS/XB launch, though I think NBA 2k11 and NBA Elite forever "doomed" EA.
Sorry, meant to say they'll try for a next gen launch obviously (maybe on the frostbite engine like the popular EA SPORTS games), but if they fail to capture mindshare for the first 2 iterations next gen, I can see them skipping some years.
The demo for this year's LIVE was fun, but the actual game I couldn't say. I've never been able to actually play LIVE online because it's the only EA game that I can't connect to their servers.
If 2K gives me a street ball option online like this years LIVE with men and women or a women's league/career mode I'd never touch LIVE again.
