Hold up is it really 30 hours wow?
No, it's 10. Likely using multiple accounts to get more hours.
Lol How do you do that, do you have to pay three times?
No player editing in franchise. Confirmed.
Players earn points to progress and you can upgrade, seems somewhat similar to Madden
Yes you have to pay for the month for each account
By the way the full game was already downloaded but it gave me a 3 gb update just now when starting

no player edit in Franchise Mode is so shame. this game is not worth buying if player has ugly beard style or hairstyle then can't change it, can't change position if people want change position for their rookie playe and also can't change jersey number either
You can definitely do that in the demo, you most no be seeing it
As far as the standings at the end of the season, the Warriors did win 55 games
. The Knicks somehow made the playoffs. The Raptors barely missed the playoffs as well as the Lakers barely missing the Playoffs
Players look so flat and nothing like the first pic of Durant all shiny and realistic looking.
This is the dumbest setup in any non-football video game there is. I would like to know why they chose it to be this way. It's truly horrible. I can do without in franchise player editing as long as they updated this
How are the computer generated Draft picks? I am still downloading it so can't check for at least a few more hours.

In 18 you had to advance the week to update the stats for the rest of the league so I wouldn’t be surprised if it’s still the same this year..

My concerns with this:
The Warriors could offer Durant and Thompson the max. So either they did not or the players took less money.
I'm not okay with the former because no team in the Warriors position should avoid offering max dollars to two elite NBA players. If the concern is they are in tax hell then maybe but then that creates a follow up question of how budgets work in the game.
The latter is maybe okay except that several stars left their teams so it looks like a problem rather than a random personal decision.
Also, did the teams that signed these players offer the 4-year max? They better have or once again, Live has star players signing for below their value which is my biggest issue with how free agency is handled in the series.

I wasn't going to buy it at all because of the lack of franchise news until I played the demo. $40 with the loyalty discount is fine enough for me.
I'll probably pick up 2K when it drops to $40 for Black Friday so I can get my franchise fix

Injuries and Pre-Existing injuries are both in Franchise mode. There is a on/off toggle option for each.
Just disappointing to see that screenshot of Durant that is supposedly captured from the in game engine but, based on the demo at least, visuals don't look nearly as good.

It's actually really depressing. I really really like the gameplay and atmosphere. I wish they put more effort into Franchise. Between no editing inside Franchise, a very small pool of jersey choices, trade logic and free agency there is no replayability for Franchise guys. So much potential for a nice fun alternative to 2K wasted.

No HDR Support ...

I don't see any option for enabling or disabling HDR. They only have color blindness, brightness and contrast options.
Does Franchise have an online option ?
Can you scout rookies ?
How many seasons in a row does franchise offer ( that you know of so far)?
Do you mean they added "online leagues" or you just talking about invite a friend to play you in online h2h games ( outside of franchise)
Hell, just having player editing and 30 team control would alleviate a TON of those problems and I'd be perfectly fine with it not being as detailed as 2k's MyLeague (2k still has tons of logic issues, etc. which is why 30 team control is perfect). Draft class creation wouldn't hurt either, but at minimum I'd expect 30 team control and player editing to be in even the most barebones franchise modes dating back to early last gen.

No HDR (which sucks because Madden has it, so does 2K) and the sweat is barely visible just like the demo.
Just can't justify paying full price for the game. If the past few years are any indication it won't take Live too long to go on sale. By Black Friday it'll probably no more than $30 if not less. I like the gameplay but I know I'll get a lot more mileage out of 2K. If I feel the need to scratch that Live itch I'll just go back to the demo for a little bit.
Just wait until november it will be 5 $ again this year.

According to the list of XB1X Enhanced games, HDR is not available in Live 19. Maybe they'll add it in a future update, though.
As far as the Durant screen, it's just lighting. The model and textures are the same. WTF posted a screenshot from the practice gym where he looked great.
That's exactly where I'm at right now. I love the gameplay and overall atmosphere of the arenas, but I can't see me giving this too many hours to warrant the price initially even with the 33% off. Waiting like I have the last 2 games till the game was like $20-$15 during the holidays makes the most sense.
Do they have a scan of Jokic on the Nuggets? They're my favorite team and I couldn't even play with them because looking at the fake Jokic was so disconcerting.
Is the game tighter, more polished than the demo in terms of gameplay?
They technically are, but the y'all should have known it wasn't representative of the actual in game graphics given they were all from that highly stylized practice gym that has crazy lighting. There was gameplay from E3 that clearly showed what in arena lighting did to the players.
Agree. And as much as I enjoy the gameplay there are still flaws in that department and it's not like it blows 2K's gameplay out of the water, at least not IMO.
You're right. Not that I expected the in game graphics to look identical but because of those shots the in game visuals are less impressive. That 3 on 3 at the beginning of the demo did look similar to those shots though. I've also been meaning to mess around with the instant replay camera to see how good the player models look up close an personal.
Ok. What else though ?
Just your win/loss/dnf %
Anything else ?
You can sumbit a player to be traded and receive multiple offers for him. Last year was all manual trading.
No. Franchise is offline only.
Great head to head gameplay though. It was fun. The crowd was so loud, and then when the home team got the ball they went pretty silent. Then exploded after a made basket

On to 2K then . Oh well.
Good news is that stats/scores update as you advance days. So you won't have to wait until the end of the week to get standings & stats updated

Can you play with more than one team in franchise mode?
You can only play as one team.
Ughh things like this kill Live for me. The basketball IQ and logic just isn't there sometimes.
I’m not a big Pro basketball guy, but live needs to bring something different than 2k to the table.
They have the women’s (WNBA) but can’t understand why they don’t give that a push with some parallel Franchise play.
- it’s different and to be really honest, more exciting to play vs with the men.
Even with Gameplay Speed at 100, still sluggish to me.
Player editing is so not User friendly.
Rosters/Players will need to be edited for sure esp with several PF having handles like a PG.
I tried though!!!
Is there a franchise for them? Can we wait WNBA rosters? Are we able to create female players to add to the WNBA rosters?
Thanks in advance for any answers, I've been dying to know lol
EA don't add anything to Franchise Mode in NBA Live 19 ? it is exactly same from 18 ?

No WNBA franchise
That is too bad, I was really hoping that it would be in there this year
Can you edit the WNBA rosters?
I'm also curious about this as I don't plan to play online

I honestly don't understand how they can't throw together a season mode for the WNBA, forget trades or other logistics just allow us to progress through a season and the playoffs so there's at least SOME weight behind the games instead of random play now games that mean nothing.
I thought it was a huge waste of potential in 18 but this year is absolutely unbelievable.
Reality is hitting home about the state of this game now.

Do you mean can we play on the streetball courts outside of "The ONE" mode? If that's what you're asking then from what I can see the answer is no, just like last year. Personally, I do not play The ONE mode because I'm not a fan of playing in the 'player-lock' mode. I just play the 5-on-5 NBA games.
So from what I have seen these courts are not available in something like Play Now mode as there is no option to choose a court when setting up a game between two NBA/WNBA teams. Not sure if the streetball courts are available in Ultimate Team as I don't really play that game mode either.

I would not buy this game if it were not for the fact that I just don't like 2K's gameplay anymore. For whatever reason I prefer Live in the gameplay department. So I will be buying through 18 to get it for $35. To me that's worth it.

You think they’ll come close to matching My GM next yr?
I played about an hour of my 10 hours and there are a bunch of things I like. The arenas are nice. But I’m a franchise player and I started up the first game of a Lakers franchise and the commentary didn’t even mention it was game one, that Lebron had signed and it was effectively just another Play Now game. There doesn’t seem to be much individuality between players. I’ll play the trial but not buy and just download when it becomes free like I did last yr. I’ll give EA their dues, they’re trying to muscle their way into the area that 2k has locked down - player creation team gameplay. That’s not my thing.

That dont sound good a lot of big name players going to bad teams that shouldn't and no way do the Raptors miss the playoffs no way.

That's terrible there is nothing for WNBA. Talk about EA missing a huge opportunity to promote something and set themselves apart from 2K. Really cheapens the exciting news that female players could be created and the brand in general. Makes them look like a throw-in.
I really hope everyone else is enjoying Live 19. It's a really fun game, but it's just not for me.

So like Trade Finder from Live 14 Dynasty???
Nah Jay Williams actually goes into depth while color commentating & he has good, sometimes great insight, similar to JVG. Its Ed Cohen who was the bad choice. He sounds like a boring robotic hybrid of Marv Albert, Ian Eagle & Mike Breen

No hate on nba live but they really have to show way more effort into other features if they ever going to surpass 2k. They did improve gameplay wise but that isn't going to warrant a buy from me if everything else is barebones. Everything outside of TheOne is lacking you might as well just call it TheOne 19.

What the above guy said. Also poeple want something fun and new again, 2k arguably hasn't make significan't strides in years. I'd say 16 was my last love for 2k this gen. Before that, I was nba 2k13 on the 360. I think the One is just enough for people to be happy, and who knows what they will patch in for us down the road for the limited Franchise mode.

Because I prefer playing sports games over watching them and fiddling with convoluted menus and and excessive options?
I have every 2K and Live that have released this gen, and 2K was easily the best option. But each year I enjoyed the gameplay less and less. Finally, last year, I ended up playing Live a ton more than 2K. Before preordering, reinstalled 2K, so I could verify if I still really felt this way. It wasn’t close, as 2K just feels horrible to me.
Maybe I should head over to the 2K threads and start this discussion. Or would that be trolling?
For $5 you can purchase a month of EA Access for second gamer tag on your console. Then, as long as you have that second gamer tag signed in along with your gamer tag, you can play the trial for another 10 hours on you current gamertag. Did this for Madden, and will extend it to second month for Live and maybe NHL.
Just don’t forget to cancel the extra ea accounts before the next months billing period.

So, court battles is just a retrofitted ultimate team? Like a street ultimate team? Where you cannot player lock?

By mandatory meaning there’s an option?
You own your court, and you defend it by using 5 players from your roster of players that you unlock. But these 5 are not controlled by you, they are controlled by the AI. So it is a single player mode, essentially.
The trick is, there are gobs and gobs of rule sets and handicaps you use to make it tougher for your opponent to beat your court. Rule sets are intended to play to your team’s strength. Handicaps Force the human opponent to assemble their team or play in a way that increases the difficulty.
For my court, I am using a bigs line-up, with a C, two PFs, Ben Simmons as my SG, and a PG. The rule set is Inside Out. Dunks are worth 4, layups -3, jumpers - 2, and three pointers - 1. THere are also gameplans to unlock and use, a DVR I have Feed the Bigs.
I don’t know if anyone has handicaps unlocked yet. But they can force you to use certain players or types of players, or add other chalkenges to make beating the AI tougher.
Games might be to 11 or 21. They could be two halves. There are some really cool rule sets. Before the game you can see who your opponent is using, and what their rules are. You can then adjust your roster and gameplan to attack them.
THe goal is to control as many courts as possible. If you control your own, you earn more for your wins. If someone beats you, then to get control back you have to beat their squad by their rules. So it behooves you to always defend your court before attacking.
You are given a range of teams to take on, both above and below your team’s OVR. You also can scroll through a list of your friends’ courts, which is where I focus, because that is fun. You earn points based on your opponnts’ OVR, the difficulty you choose, and the difficulty of the rule sets and handicaps. Those points are used to assemble a roster, unlock rule sets, handicaps, and gameplans, and to customize your court.
The games are quick and fun. The halves are just 5 minutes each, generally. I played a match to 21 that was like skins. If a team takes a shot, but misses, the points that shot is worth is banked. The next shot that goes in gets the points for that shot and the banked points.
So my opponent missed a three, and I then came back and score a regular basket, which netted me 5 points. Same thing happened on the next possessions, so after two possessions I was up 10-0. Obviously that was over super quick.
Some have pointed out that the AI can struggle to play some of the rule sets. But that’s the point. You have to craft a team, a rule set, a handicap, and your team’s gameplay to overcome that. This is not sim. But it is fun and rewarding.
Thanks a lot! I’ll have to do that.
I mean seriously player editing is lacking again, there is still no sense of player individuality
I'm not going to list the other issues list is too long
This is the perfect pickup up play basketball game without caring about the actual nba side of it
once you go into the nba store you should see a screen where you can change outfits and equip shoes etc. It's in a few places, should be on the main screen of "The One" too.
I just tried doing this and it's telling me I have to buy the game.
I played on profile 1, 10hrs ran out, signed in with profile 2 (which has an ear access account as well,) and it told me my time had expired/purchase the game.

Make sure you sign out of the profile that you ran out of time with before you launch the game. It will sometimes default to it if your signed into both pre game launch.
Also just so you know sometimes the game will boot you out of the game shortly after it loads saying something along the lines of “you switched profiles” just reload the profile you want to use and you should be good to go.
Would really suck if it happened mid game. But then, it's only the trial, so by tonight it won't be an issue.
