Not to discredit their impressions but I can't trust everything that's said. When EA did a similar thing with Live 16 there was a lot of praise being thrown at the game and while the game wasn't bad, it wasn't great either. I don't really expect to hear accurate and honest opinions from people that were flown out to an event, received some free stuff, and got a early look at a game. I mean are these people really going to turn around and say bad things if they want to be invited to such events again?

The player height differential looks off, Deandre Jordan should be towering over Victor Oladipo.

Do you hire influencers for free?

All of those opinions should be taken with a grain of salt. Its tough to judge the game fairly in that environment. You are playing a game thats likely still a beta. You are playing against all sorts of people from hardcore sports gamers to writers from magazines/websites who have never played the game. Also the team is flooding you with positive info about the game. We should never expect negative takes from a place like that.

Agree. I'm not blaming the people that went to the event are giving their impressions either. I'd imagine it is difficult to leave such an event and main an objective, unbias opinion.

If you look up the past Live titles reveal trailers on youtube back in the PS1/Ps2 days a simple comment can be made. NBA Live is NBA Live.

It's not trying to be the other game.

My problem was the one influencer took screen caps of only the good stuff and ignored the bad.

A teaser always looks better than the actual game, yet they let those awful animations in the video? Bad sign.

This game has no release date, if you don't like what you see, then say it before it's too late to fix it.

Fans of the franchise should put this in perspective and hope for improvement...

I love Mass Effect: Andromeda. I read all the reviews and impressions online but I pre-ordered it weeks before the issues. It's really fun for me. Not the best game ever but every game doesn't have to be.

I'm impressed with Live 18 so far. I grew up with Live just like everyone else, so it's going to always be nostalgic for me. Live 16 was fun until the patches. I hope they have a demo like before. I can't wait for EA Play.

I'm going to support this game no matter what. EA used to be king. They will bounce back. I am happy they haven't given up on this franchise. They are not giving up. I'm not going to give up on them.
