Customers are pleased with NBA LIVE 19's gameplay, citing it as enjoyable and easy to learn. The game's price point is also frequently praised, with many noting its affordability. Positive feedback also extends to the inclusion of the WNBA and the overall features. While some appreciate the music and realism, these aspects received less attention in customer reviews.
The NBA Live series has come a long way. In a few years, the series has gone from an absolute joke, to an actual fleshed out and worthwhile game. I still would like to see Live give you more flexibility in the franchise mode like NBA 2k does. To be more specific, I would like to be able to play as any team I want to during franchise mode within the same season. This is not something Live allows you to do at this time. The other aspect that needs a little work is the post game. It feels a little generic. I do like the efforts Live has put into the animations. They definitely are closing in on 2k in this area. Where Live has won me over, is the continual evolution of this game. Since the game has been released, the Live development team has been hard at work with numerous gameplay improvement patches as well as visual enhancements. Most of which were pulled from NBA Live community feedback. Some people see this as a negative, stating that this game should have had these patches in place prior to it's initial release. However, I look at it as great customer service and a willing to listen to their community to give us what we want. There is not enough of this going on in the gaming industry and it is a very welcomed concept. Most games will have periodic improvements that occur over the course of several follow up releases, but Live's team has made the effort to continually improve a product that has been out for over 4 months now. We will have to see what that will mean for NBA Live '20, but in the meantime, I applaud EA and the Live development team for their efforts in trying to give their fans a quality product.

If you enjoyed 18, then you will really like this game. The one mode on this year's game is basically the same, but it improves on they way you can customize your character. Passing is will be an issue for those who spam the A button. It seems like the blocks are turned down some from previous years, but you will still get swatted A LOT. Is this game 2k? No, but I highly recommend this game for anyone that enjoys the NBA. Also has WNBA on this year's game, too!

NBA Live 19 is a very fun and solid basketball game. It's a bit arcadey and probably a little too easy to score in the paint but it makes for a good experience. The players move much more naturally and fluidly compared to the 2K series. You also don't hit brick walls and experience canned animations like in 2K. Defense, especially blocking shots is way too easy but the upside is there are plenty of sliders to adjust the difficulty level of things like this. The franchise mode is not real deep but I actually kind of like not having to worry about managing 50 different things for a change. It's nice to be able to just get in and play my franchise games. NBA Live isn't perfect but I'd recommend it if you are looking for an enjoyable, easy to play game with friends or against the computer.
