    I wanted to like this game but no i had a terrible experience playing. 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.

    If you want a break from 2K's grind and high skill demands, this is a viable option. [Dec 2017, p.93]

    NBA Live is far from perfection, but it shows the sparks of the future arcade contender of NBA 2K.

    NBA Live 18 feels like it can be a competitor to the NBA 2K series. The game still needs some work in the presentation department, and while the streamlined modes may be pleasing for players who can feel overwhelmed with options, the available modes can feel pretty bare-bones. The gameplay is solid most of the time, and The One is a pretty good way to do a story mode, even if it doesn't have the writing depth. NBA Live 18 is now a decent alternative, and as long as EA Sports can keep up this momentum, it has a good chance of putting up a tighter fight next year.
