Just wanted to say: Pretty cool that the NBA Live section has picked up steam this year. I'm seeing a lot more comments, and most are not negative.
I hope EA sees this type of stuff, and it gives them motivation for Live 19. If I was ever asked go work for one of them (which they wouldn't ask) either 2k or Live, I honestly think I would choose Live at this point.
Reason being: 2K is going down a slippery slope, and I don't think one person can completely change the direction. They are greedy, and I think the gameplay they went with this year shows a poor direction given to the gameplay engineers.
I would consider this an extremely exciting time if I were someone working for EA: working on Live specifically. Live 19 is a major opportunity for them to get more market share, it just takes the right minds/promotions to really make it happen.
