[Andrew]

Here's our catch-all thread for NBA Live 19 @ EA Play 2018 discussion! Let's start off with the teaser screenshot shared by the official Instagram account:



More details will be revealed during the live press conference. The stream can be found here on YouTube.

The conference has begun, and the stream is live now.

Cannot watch. Any news regarding PC?

It seems like its just a cinematic so I'm not all that excited.

[Andrew]

Pretty cool trailer all the same.

Only that Madden 19 is coming to PC, so maybe there's a possibility Live returns at some point. Not this year, from all accounts. I wouldn't expect anything until there's a concrete announcement about it, but with Madden coming back to PC, perhaps we can take that as a promising sign for the future.

Cool trailer.

[Andrew]

Some articles will be coming soon on the official site with more information.

[zzcoolj21]

Either its an outsourced cinematic or madden's motion tech worked wonders for the dribbling system. I guess we'll know this week when people get their hands on it.

Apparently put together by the internal team according to Donnie, the current community manager.

Promising for the future of NBA Live. I bet we get a PC version over the next couple years.

Embiid possibly on the cover? Surely he had the most screen time.

The body types and the lighting is enough to get me pumped.

I'm sensing that stiffness still in the shoulders, but it's tough to tell on the highlights.

And a preliminary features list:

NARRATIVE GAMEPLAY

No two experiences are ever the same in NBA LIVE 19, as it’s both a reactive and narrative game. Make choices on-and-off the court and trigger developing gameplay scenarios tailored to your decisions.

REAL PLAYER MOTION

With our next-level animation system, feel and see the fluidity of realistic basketball with enhanced gameplay that rocks rims like nothing else.

DYNAMIC COMMENTARY

Discover hours and hours of unique commentary and monthly updates throughout the season, keeping each game fresh and exciting.

LIVE ARENA

The action doesn’t end after the whistle. Now, you can interact with the bench, crowd, and environment, immersing you in the game like never before.

HIGHLIGHT REACTIONS

Your best in-game moments are now captured from every game and featured throughout your career. Share your highlights easily across social media channels and become an icon on, and off, the court.

And an article over at SB Nation that recaps a lot of the info: https://www.sbnation.com/2018/6/9/17442 ... des-global

Fantastic concept that more games of its kind should adopt.

[Andrew]

Guess that explains the "live video" portion of the trailer.

[zzcoolj21]

Quai 54 court looks great

I hope they offer another discount for pre-orders, because I'd pre-order today if I could based off of last year's game

[beegees]

Glad to see Live Commentary. That’s one thing they borrow from Madden.
Lack of NBA content showcased makes me sad.

I like the feature list. It seems to address the biggest concerns with not only Live 18 but 2K18 as well. I can't wait to see how they make our experiences in the career mode non-linear. I don't mind repetitive commentary but that is a common complaint. I thought the shooting animations were pretty good, but they actually improved on them during the year so I think they just need more variety of animations. I do like the idea of play not ending at each whistle. Even when you hit buzzer beaters they just move on like nothing happened and don't even tell you if the basket counted or not

I wouldn't put any stock in that. The official website only lists PS4 and X1. I'd assume a PC version of NBA Live would be released through Origin, too.

They will probably bring it to PC when they change the engine to frostbite

[Andrew]

I think it'll come down to the brand getting stronger with its reception and sales. That's what they've indicated.
