Details from GameStop Pre-Order Listing

Postby Andrew on Thu Jun 28, 2018 1:26 pm

The pre-order listing for NBA Live 19 over on GameStop has revealed some more details about the game. Among them, there's a new commentary team, and The One begins in high school.

NBA LIVE 19 redefines the way you play a basketball game. Real Player Motion and 1v1 Everywhere gives you control in every possession, providing you the ability to change momentum in any game and dominate your opponent. Pursue basketball glory with the freedom to create your path in The League and The Streets, in the return of THE ONE. No longer a solo affair, build your squad of superstars, legends, and cultural icons to join your quest for greatness on courts across the globe.

Gameplay

  • Real Player Motion: Reimagined animation pipelines and player models redefine every move you make with more authenticity, mobility and responsiveness. All new animation sequences and signature styles replicate the movements and mannerisms of your favorite NBA greats providing you with a vast variety of player animations and smooth transitions across the court. From pulling a mid-range basket and dribbling to aggressive defense and post whistle player reactions.
  • 1v1 Everywhere: Change game momentum on every possession with more 1v1 control and responsiveness in all on-ball opportunities and interactivity against your opponent. Just like the best players in the NBA, take control and be aggressive on both sides of the ball to create more space between you and your defender to get open and swish threes or lock down opponents and swat the ball to force a turnover on defense.
  • New Adaptive AI System: Every Game Feels Different. Influence the entire game as your behavior and attitude on the court affects how your teammates and opponents react. Hype up your squad or intimidate opponents and their fans. You want to try and lock down Westbrook? Be prepared for him to come at you. Trying to dunk on players can make you a target for hard fouls, heated exchanges and trash talk. NBA players react just like their real-life counterparts, bringing in a new level of emotion and realism into Sports games.
Presentation

  • Live Arena: The action doesn't end after the whistle, so don't let the sideline stop you! Interact with the bench, taunt opposing players, chase the ball into crowd, go hard to the hoop or earn the respect of the crowd, triggering them rush the court after one of your epic plays in The Streets, blurring the lines between what happens on and off the court.
  • Dynamic Commentary: Discover hundreds of hours of new commentary and weekly updates throughout the year to keep each game fresh and exciting. The all-new commentary duo featuring Ed Cohen, voice of the New York Knicks and former Chicago Bull Jay Williams bring you the latest content from around the NBA, Summer Pro-Ams, and global basketball events.

Starting from high school sounds interesting.

2K16 in all ways but story had a really good approach going from high school, college, and then the NBA. I wonder what Live's take on it will be. I doubt we'll see college teams.

I could see the streets being the one year you have to spend after high school. It's either that or they're anticipating the league doing away with the one and done rule lol

A new commentary team is an interesting choice. It could be a good way to do away with the old and give it a fresh start audio wise. Also, maybe with not the biggest names for commentary, maybeEA could afford more of their time to record more lines, names, situations, etc

If only the duo of Mark Jones/Mike Tirico and Hubie Brown could be in NBA Live...

I would buy a PS4 just for this game.

I'm a bit iffy on replacing Breen and Van Gundy, the lead announce team for ESPN. However, as Q noted, it probably better facilitates the dynamic commentary updates that will be coming through.

If I had to guess, I'd say that the story in The One will gloss over your player's college years, unless they've been able to license a handful of colleges as NBA 2K did.

The main concern here is that there's no mention of Franchise or Ultimate Team. They're obviously in the game, but the lack of a mention does make me wonder how much attention they received. I've heard whispers that both have received a decent amount of attention, but until we hear more, that's going to remain a point of concern.

Yeah, I'm now worried.

No mention of franchise mode... not talk of changes. Meaning, it's possible they are going to keep it mostly the same.

I'm bummed right now.

I decided not to use the discounted pre-order option from Live 18 because I wanted a hard copy that I can sell once I'm done. I traded in Live 18 a few weeks ago and got $10 out of it. And I bought it for $40 last year.

But I guess with all these digital sales, you could pick up Live 18 for like $5 and use that to get a discount on 19 and still come out on top

That's fair. I'm admittedly not a fan of Jay Williams, so that's a factor for me as well.

My local store I typically use doesn't have Live 19 listed either, at the moment PS Store seems to be the only option.

i just shot the store a message asking if they'll have box version stocked, they said they currently have no word from distributor about box edition of Live 19. That's in Czech republic (and by extension Poland, Slovakia, Hungary and couple others due to EA Poland being sole distributor).

Seems to be the same in Australia, actually. The only physical copies I can find are from the US Gamestop site. Even Amazon US only lists digital pre-orders at this time.

It's funny, because usually you guys would have the digital stuff like streaming services that aren't available abroad (or a bigger selection of content on those streaming services compared to the international versions), and we're the ones still relying on physical media. Well, at least the PS4 is region free, so I can pick up a physical copy for cheap for the collection later on.

HI

Gamestop site Lithuania is unavailable. Only 2K19 preorder can be bought in Lithuania.
I'm looking for English in Europe and I can not find physical copies.

I wonder what copy sells digital or not?

Like Andrew said, the PS4 is region free so you might need to buy a disc from the US or UK

Not knowing which retailers deliver to Lithuania or not, I can't really suggest anything specific. Check with EB Games (US), or Amazon (US and UK), hopefully one of them will.
