I'm not a 2k fan boy nor am I an EA fanboy, just to get that straight. But this year Live is definitely the better game in my opinion. The whole VC thing in 2k is getting way out of hand and I don't see it getting any better. In Nba Live there are zero micro transactions, which is great. But that is not the only reason Live is the better game. Overall, Live is just so much more smooth. Game play feels great. You can actually play defense too! I'd give this game an 8 out of 10 but am putting 10 because there is no reason this game should be reviewed lower than a 7. Do yourself a favor and pick this game up and ignore the 2k fanboys. You won't be disappointed, I promise.… Expand

You can pick this game up for $4.49 on PSN right now! I was pleasantly surprised, developers have really stepped it up this year! It hasn't quite caught up to 2k18 but it is a huge step in the right direction & a breath of fresh air.… Expand

You cant just copy and paste the same old complaints from the past 5 years anymore. The people are speaking. Just go to Twitter and search #NBALive18 and see if the masses think that the game still looks and feels like a gen 3 game. You will see the complete opposite - with more and more people jumping back to Live as 2K continues to sink its own ship. Play yourself, dont let any other opinion affect yours because in the end, Live is back and there is nothing they can do about it.… Expand

   No game is worth a zero! Ever so if you see zero's no matter what it has to be a 2k fan boy review. Anyway my real rating of NBA live 18 is anNo game is worth a zero! Ever so if you see zero's no matter what it has to be a 2k fan boy review. Anyway my real rating of NBA live 18 is an 8.5, but, I bumped it due to the zero's. Let me start by saying after the first couple of times of playing the demo. I hated the game, it wasn't because it was a bad game it was because I went into it playing it like it was 2k. Live is its own game with its own graphics, gameplay, and, modes all of its own. After I went back and played it like Live I slowly got pulled into the Role of the One. The game mode that everything is centered around. You can rise through the ranks of the Summer pro am tour or the NBA to become the ONE! The thing I love about this game mode is it doesn't focus on all the negative aspects of your game. You get points for off ball moves like screens and boxing out. You can also double team and not get penalized for leaving your assigned player. You don't get sucked in on defense and defense is actually fun to play on any game mode! No longer do you need to fork out money to upgrade your player because win or lose you will get points to upgrade your player. The only place if you feel inclined to fork out more cash in Live is My Team its just as good as madden. I have had no issues with online play with the EA servers. The only game mode that I see is lacking in NBA LIVE 18 is the Franchise mode. 2k Definitely has LIVE beat in this mode. The commentary on 2k is also way better. That's about the only places. The graphics are awesome there are a few minor bugs. (nothing that can't be fixed though updates.) Overall NBA LIVE 18 is a breath of fresh air compared to the roster updates we get every year from the 2k series. Don't take my word for it all you need to do is download both demos play them and judge for yourself!… Expand

I was very impressed with the gameplay and even more so, the 5v5 pickup games at all the historical street ball courts. They learned a lot from 2Ks past games and improved on a few areas. This years Live puts 2K18 to shame. All anyone needs to do is try both game's demos. See for yourselves. It's sad too because I loved 2K16 & 17. I don't know why they went the route they went with. It's almost as if EA and 2K switched staffs.
   
   They also don't pick you apart with micro transactions to further your created player. The facial recognition app also works great. Something I could never get to work with the 2K series. Another thing that impressed me is the inclusion of the WNBA teams. There is something for everyone to like.
   
   My only complaint right now is the game has crashed a few times and the sound is off a little. Nothing that can't be fixed in audio settings but still annoying. The announcers also repeat a lot of the same phrases. Sometimes more than once a game. I hope they fix this. The way madden 18 updates their commentary.
   
   I'll leave it to the "pros" to describe all the different modes and features. I just wanted to make my 2 cents heard, coming from 2K back to live. It's been years since I've picked up an EA basketball game.
   
   Remember don't believe the hype or hate. TRY the demos! That's all you need.… Expand

I think the game was new and exciting. Playing in famous courts on the streets, or playing in the NBA are both fun. The dribbling was awesome in this game. The commentary, in my opinion, was good. The graphics are also good. Now on to the bad. The controls aren’t the best, but they are good enough. The defense is one of the things that needs the most work, while the offense is actually great. The only other complaint is that they need more game modes. Overall, the good overweighed the bad. I recommend this game.… Expand

The animations look gross, the player models look weird as hell and gameplay is waay too easy. Also to mention all the glitches and WTF moments i had while playing (Shot blocking is OP). I had to return this game real quick because of how boring and ugly this game was, stick to 2k. NBA Live still is trash in my opinion.… Expand
