I will switch from 2k to Live if...

OS is a great sports gaming website. I would hope sports gaming companies read through this site to engage directly with the consumers. With that said...

I will switch (back to) Live from NBA2K if and only if...Live introduces a shot stick.

It's that simple, EA Sports. I was an EA Sports NBA Live gamer growing up all my life. When 2k came out, they sort of reintroduced us all to great gaming basketball. Since then, Live has never been able to regain it's place in my mind and other gamers. I am open to making Live my new Basketball video game of choice however the one aspect that must change is the shooting mechanics.

If Live can introduce a shot stick, that is all it will take for me to give it a fair shot. I do not want to press a button to shoot, a different one to dunk,...I don't want to make them the same button. All I want is a shot stick using the joystick on the controller.

I look forward to this improvement.

I like 2k. My goal is that I can give Live a fair chance to be the game I purchase every year. Right now, I'm not even giving Live a chance.

Yeah but a shot stick is not really lives thing. It may not come for a while. If the gameplay improvements don't make you at least wanna try the free demo, then I don't know man

Live no longer uses the two button shoot\dunk layout, you just use one button.

I wouldn't hold my breath on them getting a shot stick.

Just try the free demo next month and see if you can deal with it, you may end up liking it.

Shooting with the right stick won't be introduce to Live. Until EA brings a more advanced array of animations. Even then I don't believe they'd feature stick shooting. Since the last time they had this (Elite 11) it was scratched totally.

So what? Both games don't have to be the same to be enjoyable.

People glorify 2K as if there's no problems with it and vice versa. People can't seem to see the fact that there's two options available. You buy one, you can buy the other or buy both. People are like 2K is my ish, but they need to do this for me to switch over to LIVE, NO, they don't. Live and 2K doesn't have to cater to needs for you to buy, in the end,people are going to buy what they want and enjoy.

People acting like buying Live is like trying out for the chess team rather than playing football. Ain't nothing wrong with chess if you actually...key word actually enjoy it
