The online live street games are a lot of fun to build up your rep. I play this mode more than actual NBA teams mode.

NBA Live 18 shows flashes of greatness. Now they need to add frost bite engine, more realistic body shapes and still improve the gameplay. I gave it 5 stars because I enjoy playing this more than 2k18

Picked this up for cheap last year on Xbox One to see if EA had come any closer to catching the juggernaut that is NBA2K. Imagine my surprise (shock even!) when I found that this game was even more fun to play than 2K. Now dont get me wrong, I didn't say that Live was BETTER than 2K, but it is more fun to pick up and play.
When I bought my son a PS4 I got him both Live and 2K so he could decide which one he preferred without his old man's bias. He plays Live every weekend, while 2K collects dust. He thinks 2K looks better, but for a young child like him the ease of gameplay and less daunting (i.e., less deep) career and player creation in Live makes it infinitely easier for him to get engaged. So much so that I had to get him Live 19 later, and Live 20 when it drops. Highly recommended for anyone interested in a quick pick up and play style ball game.

This is a major improvement from past NBA Live games but NBA 2K18 is still better this year.

Bought this game to try if the reviews of other people is right. Yes the game is great and easy to play. Too bad they don't have legends. But still recommend to buy with.

I have always been a fan of the NBA Live series over the 2K series. This seems like it is another good game and worth getting for cheap if you like the NBA Live series.

playing a basketball game. i honestly did not expect to sit down and play for 6 hours (whoa, time goes by when you're having fun) i was honestly just going to pick this game up... play a few ranked matches... and throw it aside... boy, was i wrong.
playing 5 on 5 online is a BLAST . i did a facial scan... which made it even more fun . it reminded me of being out on an actual court playing a pick up game of basketball. the facial scan is done really well, and adds something very special to the game
ranked matches are simple... and straight to the point. just like on madden.
i love the gameplay. i had been buying nba 2k for the last few years... and to say it's a bad game... would be a lie. but to say it's a good game... would also be a lie
NBA Live is far from perfect... but it's the most fun I've had with a basketball game in years. (maybe since the 90s)
