Interested in what they're bringing to the table. They have a decent foundation. If they are turning it into a GaaS then the One Mode better be this huge interactive mode with mmo and rpg elements. Mtx probably on the way.:francis:

I wonder if that new 2k deal with the NBA is responsible? May have priced EA sports out.

I racked up a bunch of hours on Live 19. My main problem with the game though was that from 18 to 19 there were very few improvements. And then on top of that, the face creation tool actually got worse. It's a shame they can't get their shyt together. NBA 2K had the better gameplay for the 2018-19 games, but I felt like overall Live was the better game. fukk all that VC shyt with 2K. But with this announcement, they are conceding the year to 2K. Hopefully they have really overhauled the engine or something which caused them a delay. If the game is absolute fire when it does come out, then I'll still rock with it. But I can't say the same for the rest of the sports gaming community.

Wrong. I'm sorry but 2k doesn't have the same stroke as it did in the earlier installments of NBA2K. 2K started recycling the same shyt w/2k13 and since that time, the whole series has been around currency, all-time teams, & recycled gameplay mechanics. Game isn't worth $60+ but they stay eating off $80-100 collectors editions every year.

If EA is serious w/Live 20 and delayed it for good reasons and we get quality from it they can give 2k a run for it's money. I would sell the game for $40 at launch as a way to say sorry for the delay.

EA is not serious and they delayed it because the numbers aren't justifying putting out a title from year to year. Even with microtransactions, 2K has not given the shaft to offline players by removing content or improving the gameplay.

They believe in the game it’s just that the shyt gotta get better. They just put two studios on the game according to earlier reports this year. One studio in London and the other in Canada. With that in mind, they are probably waiting until next gen with a new engine

I don't think so. I read a few articles that already said that next gen isn't coming out next year. Live is delayed until the end of the year.

I think the last time I bought Live was 08. that was the 2nd year for me playing 2k and that year I purchased both to compare them head to head. I ended up getting rid of Live and was 2k ever since. havent played 2k in 3 years now though and had no idea people were still fukking with Live. after all the years of subpar Madden and EA locking everyone out of NFL market (2k All Pro Football was better) and inconsistency of College Basketball games, people shouldnt talk shyt about 2k.

Just do NBA Street or NBA Jam. They will never come close to competing with 2k again no matter how trash some might think 2k is. Live has been like four dollars by Black Friday the past few years.
