NBA Live 18

[Andrew]

Interesting...as I've said before, I certainly hope we get some deep modes this year.

New dynasty mode title, sure hope there's major improvements there this year.

[Andrew]

As long as microtransactions are kept to Ultimate Team (and kept to a minimum there), I'm ready for the overhaul. It's been a while.

Just seen this on twitter, from Trap Swish, not sure where he got it from!!

What is that supposed to be?

[Dee4Three]

I can honestly say that I don't care about the screenshots. I can't wait to get the GAMEPLAY feedback from those who get to play it soon.

I also care about roster editing, and in depth modes. I could deal with the graphics from Live 14 if the gameplay was great to go along with the options/modes we want and need.

[[Q]]

Yeah honestly dissecting an off screen picture doesn't really do much especially because when you play the game it's obviously in motion and not static like that

[Andrew]

For the moment it's all we've got, so it makes sense. I too can put up with outdated graphics if the modes and gameplay are satisfactory, though generally speaking, I do think it's important that any game these days does bring it in terms of graphics, in order to make a good first impression.

They say its actual in-game photo of Russ lol i think its real Russ not a game

[mp3]

Surly if this is recent then it would point to Russell being the cover player again?

[Andrew]

It's never happened in the history of NBA Live to date, but especially after the season he had, I could see them breaking that trend and featuring him on the cover again.

[zz21]

He's on the EA Play billboard as well. With the season he had, not sure you could find a better player currently in the league for the cover.

[Andrew]

Evidence is certainly starting to mount.

[mp3]

That looks like a billboard from 2k's mycareer

[Andrew]

Orange Juice, haha!

[StyxTx]

I have a question. What on earth does a cover have to do with how good a game is? I couldn't care less whose picture is on there, especially since I buy downloads, but even if I didn't, so what. A picture of someone I can get anywhere on the internet if I wanted it.

I want to know about the game.

[Andrew]

No one said it has anything to do with the quality of the game. Well, there are some people who seem to think that, but it's misguided. For the rest of us, it's just a fun talking point while we wait for more important information.

I see it on the 2k forums how people won't buy a game unless so and so is on the cover, or whatever. I'm like, just download and print out a picture from the internet. What's the big deal?

Anyway, I'm waiting on real information and I hope beyond hope it's a great step up because I just can't stand 2k anymore.

[Andrew]

Oh for sure, people who refuse to buy a game because a certain player is or isn't on the cover do exist, and that's silly. For the rest of us though, it's just something to talk about and have some fun guessing and predicting.

It's funny when they say they won't buy it since people can easily make their own covers these days. Doesn't take an Einstein. lol

[Andrew]

Probably mostly bluster and idle threats. I mean, 2K sells pretty well every year. If all the people who said they wouldn't buy it because their player of choice isn't on the cover actually followed through, the numbers would show it.

Ummmm.... I swear thats not Kyrie
