NBA Live 18 Are You Worried

[Crunky]

Is anyone else worried that the EA Suits split up the development team to work on NBA live 17 mobile and that may have contributed to the cancellation of the console version. My belief is they're understaffed on console and that they needed a 2yr cycle to put out a game that results in a full years worth of content. With the success of NBA Live Mobile it undermined the release of a console version.

I think "being worried" about NBA Live has been a permanent mode since the cancellation of NBA Elite 11. So, I'm not worried more than 'normal'. And I'd rather them work on the game 2 years than 1 year. Assuming this is not like NBA Live 12/13, we should have a game in the Fall.

How well it will play, remains to be seen.

I'm pretty optimistic about it actually in one case I'm worried due to the letdowns but in another I'm hopeful. There's a dude on YouTube who claims to be a gamechanger and proclaims they're womens teams on NBA Live so I'm ecstatic about that news.

Losing Mike Wang and Scott OG was a huge loss to EA hopefully they correct their wrongs from past failure's like not having roster editing which is the biggest failure of all.

We looking for some Sim gaming enough of this arcade pick up and play crap where all I got to do is spam the controller and I'm in the lane jamming on some dude. Basketball isn't about that it take's great skill and patience, reading the defenders hips and footwork and seeing what the other defenders on the floor are up to. They need that badly if they expect to be a competitor.

They seriously need to be innovative I'm talking a grand theft auto style career mode where you could drive around to your home or to the home arena. Have a cell phone a laptop for on the go and a computer for home. Have minigames at your house like a pool table stuff like that. Also a barbershop you could drive to. Different venues in the community maybe walking distance like movie theaters with movies included in game, a gym to work out to build muscle or get lean and ripped or have film study breaking down your opponent on film for the upcoming game, basically stuff like that

Here's a basic version of my idea.

Create your Crib in RisingStar and make it interactive - A Door: to play your next game - A Computer: is your NBA .com - A Closet: is your edit player - A Television: could be your highlight or recap of the week in the NBA - A Bed: where you can simulate to the next day - A GYM: where you can edit and assign your skill points and do drills - A Shrine: as you complete milestones and win awards - A Phone: so you can contact your teammates, your coach and agent - Mini games: like playing pool, poker that you can play in your spare time

I could see what graphic style NBA Live 18 will have in store for us.
