I don't know about that. 2K11 was so good and so big, they had to put something out to rival it. While waiting a year might've worked better in hindsight, at the time they didn't really have the choice if they wanted to stay alive.

thats the same thing i thought

And 2k12 wasn’t as pivotal as 2k11 either like I reminder something of the issues when it first dropped. A 2k11 level nba live coming in 2011 would’ve been interesting to rival 2k12

NBA Live 10 was good.. I wish EA still had the same passion they did back then..

Nba live 10 is still fun i play it almost everyday. EA just got lazy

So did EA 😂

Mike left because of EA management not because he wanted competition. I dunno where that made up narrative came from.

Rondo lol

I figure he left because of the salary

Lol. So yall gone sit here and the 145 ppl who liked it gone act like Mike Wang wasnt sent in from 2k? Lol. Like really though what are the chances the man comes n gives Live a great game n leaves a year later to go right back to 2k. That a be like how kd joined the warriors after giving them the series in okc n den going back to okc after he left... Lbs. Mike wang was never "Gone" from 2k just like he was never "in" on nba live.. even if the "developers were idiots"(his words) you walk in a year... Let alone go right back to where you "left from". Thats a simple finesse move. They infiltrated live w a spy n sabotaged their franchise financially. If they stole anything ea could sue, they got their game dragged online n prolly was the root of the Bynum Jesus video going so viral or the bug alone. Lbs. Dpnt sleep on how dirty the game in, mind you 2k had its 2 greatest years when live was missing n the rest is history as we know, the competition was never the same after that. Big business speak n names ring bells the biggest name then n now was MJ. 2k had him, if he said he was in on sumn or sumbody, thats who eerbody backing. Tjats y 2k didnt go big on gameplay it was big on presentation mind you 2k12 had the blacl n white n so forth. Thats all shit they stole from live. They polished their games w stuff from live while blinding eerbody w "the return of jordan" n classic teams. So not only did you love it, ur dad loved it. Thats what we all remember about live growing up. Lol. Dont mind me though im just a guy who has a weird way of predicting stuff n you ask where you get your info... Trust your gut. All praise to the most high.

U old Asf 😭👎🏿👎🏽👎🏿

I really enjoy 2k16 but it sucks theres no way to update the software

@@IndependentWhistleblower Yeah, that was probably the last 2K I really liked. NBA 2K, 2K1 and 2K2 are absolute classics to me. To be a kid back then, man. Nostalgic

Most of the sports games I play now are throwbacks

@@Birdman32 2k2 on Dreamcast is God tier. C Web or AI all day

2ks gameplay???????

I wonder what the title would be tho? I was thinking, maybe 'NBA2KLIVE23'.

U need competition so they challange each other, not be friends and give you fuck all updates.

@@rashaan5216 they would probably just name NBA 2023 with some corny hook after like "NBA 2K23 A NEW GENERATION"

You mean NBA Lives game play and NBA Lives presentation ?

Things could look very different if NBA Live 11 released followed by NBA Elite 12

@@SOFTDRINKTV 1000%

EA is more grredy then 2K be happy

@@Davinhomx Competition encourages innovation. 2k coasts now because there is no competitor. NBA Live 10 led to 2k11 (arguably there best game of all time) 2k is also way more greedy. None of EA's games are pay to play like the last decade of 2k games. 2k is all based on micro transactions now.

@@oota4421 lmao. Tell that to people that actually played fifa ultimate team or star wars lmfao🤣🤣 it's easy af to become 99 overall in 2k and if you pay ypu get capped at some point. Let alone that you keed your badges. You clearly never played an EA sports game or star wars battlefront

@@Davinhomx 2k and EA are both greedy+some competition would make the game better

Every game needs least a 2 years window to fix everything.. so it wouldn't cost you money to fix(sending out patches).. Something you should have fixed in the first place..

Thank you!

Facts

Nah saying that about sonic 06 is revisionism.

@@CCDaDon15 how so

Live 19 is still available on game pass and it's not good at all, the controls and animations blow

@@jayanderson7508 of course the gameplay is way worse than 2k but it's less frustrating tho

@@gallant3646 I don't know, maybe just depends on the person, I've played live '19 every now and then and 2k just feels better, have you played on PS? I don't like the clunkiness of the Xbox controller either it's weird lol

@@jayanderson7508 i did play on PS but i agree with you about the feeling of the game, i'll say that 2K feels better but Live is less annoying with the micro-transactions

@@gallant3646 depends on the transactions remember you always have the option to spend money in game, and they both advertise stupid my team when you load them, I hate the grind of 2k but I never buy anything, I try not to buy anything in games unless it's a fighting game with dlc characters. It definitely cost more VC to buy stuff now seems like but live 19? The prices are outrageous for the bit of in game currency they give you

Where you download it?

@@USR__ can you help me i download it but i can start it

even ea treated hockey so poorly since ps4 and xbox one.

I think I remember an authentic Jordan in Lakers vs Celtics.....even some of the bulls games and even I think live 96😅 but you right it was hard as hell to catch an authentic Jordan in a game...... memories man.......I liked penny hardaway anyway 😅💯

Yea I was 1 of the few witta Dreamcast co-signing 2k was better when Live was on top my friends didn’t believe me at the time that was in 2000 I was 14 yro now I’m 36 so it’s safe to say I was 100% right 🤷🏽‍♂️ even back then 2k was really you seen sweat on the players & overall graphics was better

@@christopheriverson7103 I was so disappointed when he was not on ANY of the MID 90s NBA JAMs...🤣 Out all games....Would have been an absolute cheat code.

@@antoniopalmer15 I seen them coming bro. I could'nt put my head in the sand no more about it. They had the most popular cover athlete at the time. Allen Iverson too.

NBA Live 19 was actually good... In all the parts that weren't the NBA. Street ball stuff was very good, but franchise and career sucked

@@de132 Nba Live 19 is one of my favorites. Still play it now and then

NBA Live 2004/2005(emulation) are decent too. On a more arcadey level tho.

Yea 2k14 ps4 xbox one might just b the greatest 2k of all time factoring in everything. One of the few nba games w the foggey arenas. That alone, lol. Bruh when career mode was grinding, it was that year or next where you got ur badges from doing stuff in game realistically not the lame system 2k been using. Its hard to emulate ps4 n stuff so far bt the day coming real soon. Lol. Idk if its worth collect a ps4 for a few games bt between that amd the 3 its certain games the emulators dont run that leave me like damnit... Nobody has money to buy every system all over again to replay individual games. Lol. I tell ppl all thw time 360 woulda been iSwitched over had I known about pc then, n kept all my systems to think iWas trading in some of these games n systems is beyond angering. Lmao.

Perfectly Perfectly Perfectly written. You can tell he's quite educated to be able to fuse very strong philosophical quotes in a NBA oriented subject video. That's "one" of the keys of happiness and success. Find what you are truly passionate about and something you truly want to do with your life. "truly". You'll never work a day in your life and all the pain and obstacles that come along will be like getting a centimeter scratch on your skin (paraphrasing)

💀

You can change the controls. Lol. Replay it, ignore the bugs(every game still to now has em) n see what yu think. N its 10 years later so you can see kust how ahead n innovative games or now or not. Lol. We need more ppl w first hand perspective cuz the shift is happening. Trust me. A dark new day is coming in tech. Buckle up and enjoy the ride.

Since when did Sonic stop taking risks? The biggest problem with Sonic Team, is that they never build on their success.

@@juststatedtheobvious9633 On the contrary. They had started overusing the side-scrolling sections of the "Boost"-style games more and more, to the point where the 3D games had more 2D sections than 3D ones. Whenever a formula fails, they throw it away. That's what they did with the Adventure formula after '06, ditching the other playable characters and hub worlds while ignoring that the real issue was that '06 was rushed.

@@sambridgers9543 me who has two copies of Sonic Heroes, grabs popcorn

Ur statement is a big part of how 2k finessed da game... They paid eerbody possible to talk about n or be in the game (Biggest one Jordan) for the first time recently n did the unthinkable m doubled down w thw rivals from the era prior on multi covers. That nostalgia trip for ppl alone swpt over nations, they started adding hip hop spundtracks n the rest is history. Lol. 2k knew exactly wjat it was doing in many ways n its no coincidence live got blackballed n fell off soon after. Its like having big n little jokers in spades w 3 cards left n you need 2 of the 3 books... Welp you got that one n unfortunately for the opps, aint shit dats trumpin dose 2 moves. Lol. Checkmate. 2k sabotaged ea from the inside out n thats the part nobody talks about.

That’s Andrew Bynum

Right.

I feel the same way, I liked when NHL used to be amazing, now they only care about one thing, the money hut, it’s Dame shame that there are no good sports games made by EA anymore. 1 of the reasons I don’t play NHL games anymore, due to it’s messing lot of features, game modes from NHL 14 and older games including NHL 2k games and more, gameplay is still on animation based rather than physics, poor balance, tons of bugs and glitches I have ever seen on the sixth gen or seventh gen console, and lack of competition, NHL is the only company made by EA, it sad.

@@jaheimmoultrie7584 wow i feel your pain. I gave up on all sports games years ago. If im gonna burn $60 bucks for a game it needs to be worth my time and money not the wash, rinse & repeat from last year. Far as ea is concerned they died years ago.

It's like the distance between earth and the oort cloud.....😅
