NBA Live 19 Introduces The One Court - Allowing Fans to Create and Customize Their Own Courts

NBA Live 19 has introduced One Court, offering fans the ability to create and customize their own court, to play in drills, shoot arounds or scrimmages. You can also use your One Court to host a private run online with your friends.

There are plenty of options to choose from, including full court graphics, floor paint (out of bounds lines, baselines, sidelines) customizing equipment (basket, stanchion pad, etc.), different balls to play with (both NBA and WNBA) and more. Fans can also unlock items, as they keep playing the game.

Unfortunately, fans will not be able to upload custom images this year, but it’s something they are considering for the future.

You can’t upload images, a content moderation system would’ve taken a lot of effort, might be something we consider in the future though

This is a fun addition
I wonder what freedom we have in terms of uploading images for the court. It'd be awesome to upload custom images and use them for the full size court or maybe multiple smaller images

I love that you can host private games on your own court with friends.

FerdBrown 08-13-2018 10:32:13 AM (EDT)

Yes! This is really what I wished for. It should be perfected by LIVE 20 - outdoor courts and a choice to host public 5v5 or 3v3 with choice of day time / night time.

Be nice if these could be used in Franchise mode to do re-branding of some sort, and not just a gimmick for online stuff.

"One of the most powerful tools you can use when customizing your One Court is the use of full court graphics. You’ll start with a variety of graphics to choose from out of the gate – stuff like animal prints, camo prints, throwback 90’s patterns, and much more. There’s also some awesome full court Player Graphics featuring NBA superstars that you can apply to your floor. You’ll be able to unlock even more by playing NBA Live 19."
From the vlog they don't mention anything about custom logos but I guess we'll see. The customization looks really cool though.

Great addition especially if you can add custom pictures...but definitely great move here by Live 19...

Killuminati 08-13-2018 11:16:37 AM (EDT)

If there is no ability to add custom images then I'm not interested personally, but there is no denying that it's a fun feature

Well someone on NBA LIVE Dev team has an obsession with courts. Lol... Considering most of information for last month has been court screenshots.

I hate to be the bearer of bad news, but we won't be allow to upload any images, but there will be plenty to choose from.

Killuminati 08-13-2018 12:31:00 PM (EDT)

Lol no problem, I assumed that we wouldn't be able to based on how that was worded
I guess they worry about copyrighted pics being uploaded which makes sense. Personally, I'm good at drawing and was hoping that I'd get to make one of my basketball drawings the court like how they did with Embiid. Now that would be epic!

This is a great feature for the one players, however what interests me is the fact that they will be able to play drills, shootaround, or scrimmages. These are elements that's heavily needed in franchise mode. I'm wonder if these things have made there way into franchise mode as well similar to what was in Live 09-10. At these point I would like to hear news about the NBA portion of the game along with some blogs or videos about general gameplay improvements on both sides of the ball that they've made this year from last year. A control layout would be nice as well. I guess those screens of the NBA players was just a distraction to take away from the fact we may not be getting any news or details of the game that's NBA related!!

Uh, no. I wouldn't want that. Kids and sick adults will add gross things to their courts.

That Sonics court is so beautiful.
I'm also happy to hear that you can use it for shootaround. Being able to practice on team courts is something I've missed since Live 09.

Understood and point well made....however I’m talking about for people who are not exactly looking to post inappropriate things....it would be a great feature. #indeed

Guessing late this week or next week after the introduce another mode the court battle mode; will be more bout the NBA portion. The only news I know for sure left is the new commentary team with Jay Williams. An Franchise which I'm still not optimistic was a focus for them once again I hope I'm wrong.

I would hope so, but I don't think so I believe court battles is just another pvp game mode for the one maybe either 1v1 or 5v5 pro-am with rules and regulations. According to one of the devs this feature was the worst kept secret of Live 19. Which leads me to believe they have nothing more really to announce. They've already showed the best portion of their game, and just from what we seen promotion wise and from shacknews the game doesn't have a lot to offer outside of the one. At this point franchise mode is pretty much non-existent.

StayPlation82 08-13-2018 04:26:54 PM (EDT)

love this addition! the private games will be huge.

Seems like a decent amount of carry over too. Like the progression system in the One is identical to live 18 with skill points and only certain skills that you upgrade one point at a time. I enjoyed that system but still it's a carry over.. Nothing new

Why can't we use our court editor courts in LUT too? Why does this have to be a "The One" mode exclusive?!

Hopefully we can. LUT would be a perfect mode to use a custom court since it is literally your custom team. Logically it makes more sense for it to be in that mode, more so than it being in The One mode
NBA live pushes The One mode so hard lol

coachcolbert 08-13-2018 08:17:34 PM (EDT)

Custom courts will be cool. But we can private lobby match up right now. Have been since Live 16. One of the features theyve had over the competition imo.

FerdBrown 08-13-2018 08:19:29 PM (EDT)

Received via email:
It’s your court and you call the shots. Design a court that reflects your unique style, then make your rules known. Only three pointers? Sure. Dunks worth five points? You got it. Play your way in NBA LIVE 19 and make your court stand out.
Dang! I’ll make dunks 1 point, mid range -2 (penalty) and 3 point range 2 points!

Schnoodle321 08-13-2018 11:47:52 PM (EDT)

So these created courts cant be used with NBA players? Only our created player?

There will be AI controlled NBA players on the court alongside of out created players. It has yet to be confirmed if we can control NBA players on created courts.

I wonder if we can control anyone other than our created player in ANY aspect of the One (mode(s)).

Guard-ian 08-14-2018 04:14:16 AM (EDT)

Again, when something new about the Real NBA?
NBA Live, I want to Live NBA... Why not to call this game The One directly?

The horse is dead. We get it, you guys want franchise information lol.
No sleight to you, but every time some new feature gets released, guys are complaining. It's getting old man lol.

No, they are not releasing what is supposed to be the meat and potatoes of the game. NBA, not the create your own player, should be the primary portion of the game. The One should be its own module, secondary to the NBA.

Honestly there may be a market for an all street ball video game. Live clearly is making The One it's main focus so why not just lose the distraction of the NBA modes?
Just think how incredible that game would be if they focused all of their energy on just street ball. Custom courts, custom players. Custom world tours. It's undeniable that it would be a fun game and a perfect compliment to 2k, which would be where those who want an NBA experience would go.
That being said, I enjoy playing NBA games in NBA live but it just isn't their focus at all so that led me to come up with that idea of an all street ball game. They can call it "The One 19" lol

I'm not saying that they're not supposed to be releasing that lol. And to be honest, the meat and potatoes of the NBA game includes a Career mode nowadays.
I agree that they need to release some Franchise stuff (since that's the main complaint here) but we've got a thread for that.

Rockie_Fresh88 08-14-2018 01:10:10 PM (EDT)

This is a cool feature but I barely have people to play live with .
The one isn’t really getting me pumped for the game unfortunately . I’m still interested though

Guard-ian 08-14-2018 03:10:29 PM (EDT)

I am sorry to be this gritty lads, but this game is called NBA Live, I am not against these cool features but I would like to know more about the pure NBA part of the game... ;-)

Fist Of Kings 08-14-2018 06:55:47 PM (EDT)

I want a nba basketball game. Odd how they keep adding stuff to the one mode. That stuff should be secondary.

I agree with you, I think they should just go back to making street games, and stop lingering on the notion they're making a true NBA game. But I understand what they're trying to do.
