A Lone Tenn0 you nba live fanboys are only focusing on MC lets focus on lives LUT nothing new added in the past 10 years still making you pay for packs there is a difference 2k has been adding new things to MC every year.
Ezekiel Elliott "still making you pay for packs" but you need VC for My team packs. And to get enough VC you have to pay real money. You're just a hypocritical 2k fanboy
I'd put it this way, If you want a game that feels extremely real, I'd get Live -The crowd really looks solid in this game -The animations are great - the commentary is also very good If you want a game with more content, I'd get 2k18 -Better story -More diverse MyGM and MyLeague -Much more things to do in the game overall
i take Live this year. To me, gameplay is more important than those faces. 2k might have an edge when it comes to players face but the gameplay is almost the same as 2k17. Can't play hard defense or blocking layups because it is going to be an automatic foul. Live doesn't do that. No bs VC either. 2k items are even more expensive this time too. LOL! No thanks 2k. Live > 2k this year.
Dark Lord Sauron i'm not going to play the game zooming in to players faces. Body in Live 18 has better cuts than 2k. Most faces may be better in 2k18 but their gameplay sucks! Layups, driving to the basket is much better in Live 18.
Live is all animation blocks tho 2k requires actual timing and 2k looks 10x better on a 4k tv i love 2k this year but live is just decent they definetly on the come up tho might be nice in two years
Been playing both games with my bro. We both are having more fun with nba live. The dribbling sucks in live but the layups are so good. You just can't score layups in 2k.
I hope people realize all the comments on this video of people saying "live is good" or praising live in any type of way are people that work for ea sports.
Bioh Productions because that's a clothing line. Not a game. If it was a shitty clothing product, then no one would buy it because that's considered high end clothing. Basketball video games are practically an industry, and there would be no incentives for it to be good. If it was shitty, too bad because there are no other basketball video games so you would have to buy it.
I just bought NBA live 18 to see how there franchise mode compares to NBA 2k, my 1st basketball game was NBA live but switched to 2k a long time ago and this is my 1st time playing live in years, I can't edit rosters, or drafts, or even create a player other then the one mode what is going on am I missing something? can someone please answer.... getting so pissed trying to find online draft sharing or something
dmn my PS3 2k17 had tattoos still.... moved to PS4 NBA 2k17 and 2k18 no tattoos on edit/created players shity, thanks for helping bro no one would answer me
Both games are great in their own ways. I play 2k and live and they're just great this year. 2k fanboys are gonna hate live for no reason but ea doesn't care they're still making money. Just like battlefield and call of duty if you dont like one leave it alone
Lol part of the reason why NFL 2K5 was so successful was because it was sold at a discounted price of $30 at release rather than the full $60. And despite it's greatness, it still sold only about as much as Madden 2005.
I understand not liking the auto lockdown defense in Live, but being used to a 2k glitching past defenders doesn't mean its not a big deal. 2k has gotten away with a lot of bugs and issues because people are just used to them even though it breaks the game.
That defense topic u were talking about is wrong. Holding l2 u just don't lock ppl up. Play superstar or live run and just do it. It won't work. With defense u have to anticipate where the defense is going.
For testing nba Live 18, back on 2k18, seems impossible to me. The Ea game gives me more of everything in emotions. Also, the studio seems really supported the game (maj yesterday again). Wnba nice addition. Not really if you like basketball it's easy to fall in love with this nba Live 18
Real Recognize Will I enjoy NBA LIVE 18 parks because of the city and gyms they play at but I am a NBA 2K18 fan but NBA LIVE 18 have them with the parks my opinion
+Envyerz God job man. Though you missed a few things you can include in the future. Presentation includes in-game menus which you didn't mention. Graphics you glossed over and just talked about how faces are similar to their real life counterparts. Graphics include the visuals and performance fidelity. In terms of visuals you could talk about the beautiful lighting in LIVE and the low rez courts in 2k. Painted areas look flat with no detail and the court looks muddy. The colors in LIVE are excellent as well compared to the primary looking colors in 2k. There is more sophistication in the visual approach of LIVE than 2k. Proportions of characters look better in 2k it seems though it might be the stiff models in LIVE or the poor/stiff animations or a combo of both. Cheers!
How do you make a video like this without some sort of on-screen display to indicate which game we're looking at in any given moment? I haven't played an NBA game in many years, I'm no expert, I don't know which is which.
I’m new to basketball and I am wondering which game to get I have never played a nba game before. Which one is better? I just got nba live mobile and it’s pretty fun.
I’d be ok with the vc system if it was more reasonable on items like I’m not spending 4500 on a shoe and waste $50 for VC on a game that’s on a yearly cycle 2k16 grind was easier and more enjoyable but this VC shit is just going deeper and deeper in our pockets
What game is the best for going online and going to the park and customizing your character also graphics. (I know that I know nothing about these games but they look really fun to play so all I want to know is what game has the best graphics and what game has the best online multiplayer
I had to pause 2k to comment! You did a great job! I grew up playing Live, then I stumbled across 2k around 2k15 and it was soooo lit! From then on I played every year faithfully and bought the little vc it took to experience everything. But now, 2K has gone way too far man! They are basically a cash grab game! The game play sucks, they have 50 patches, we can't make open layups , mind you I'm a driving and finishing center. The open blocks are fouls! The hair cuts are wack af. You can't see them before buying them. They took players and vc. I was an 89 overall 3 days after getting my preorder. Out of nowhere the game crashes and my game vanishes with my 900k vc! The crazy part is youtubers that are on the nba 2k18 vip list got they're players right back! I guess I was getting a little too far too fast smh. Ronnie 2k, Ld2k and Mike Wang have let the money and greed take over the quality in what used to be a great game! Oh and you forgot to discuss 2ks wack af story lines smh they are horrible. Live needs work on graphics and gameplay, if they just could fix those small things they would get all of us back. We need to come together and stand up too 2k with a competitor. That's the only way we win. Live can easily do that if they would just fix the minor stuff by listening to us! Anyway, great post! I subbed and liked!
Ive never been into basketball games but I tried to play 2k and ended up deleting it. Just tried free play days for live and ended up buying it because I was able to learn the controls and be able to actually play it. I dont even know basketball rules but for someone who isn't super basketball fan I think live is the only way to go.
Man I understand people mad at 2k right now but played both live too unrealistic, it’s all over the place u can make any shot green or not, but passing, dunking, dribbling, defense, rebounding( both weird af), shooting, and movement are all better on 2k let’s not get crazy
BigMojo41 because the players have weight and are grounded. Once I started playing the game like I would irl I got way better. 2k is collecting dust right now, they ruined the create a player, the customization is trash and not as deep as past 2ks. Still missing open layups and uncontested shots. Y'all so used to being marginalized and being allowed to do what 2k lets you, you don't even like total control anymore lol
troy phillips trust me bro just becuz I like it better than live don’t mean 2k the greatest game ever since 2k12 I been beyond pissed, I’ve feel like I been 2ks biggest critic outside TH-cam. Ik what it feels like to not be able to go up by more than 10 points, me and cpu going back n fucking forth the entire game, me loosing the ball and missing wide open shots n opp making contested shots when down, n it’s all to keep the game close... trust me I feel like Ik this games every flaw, n I even changed sliders n barely noticed a difference. All of this been in the game since 2k12. Besides all the bs I’m just saying I’m not ready to say sloppy(gameplay) live is better at anything but the create player shit, that I admit 2k threw that shit everywhere.... it’s not at all perfect but it’s still way more playable than live, live is ok tho it’s fun at least which 2k took that out of the game n made it so damn serous
BigMojo41 2k got used to no competition. bet next year VC is either gone or more achievable. i agree 2K is better, but just on the money aspect alone ill play live this year and wait to see next year. 2k now knows its not the only game and Live is threatening
Big J Britt yes I can’t stand vc, I kinda hate people can buy vc n at the same time call it a grind lol, it’s so silly .... I’ll be playing both no bias but hope they both catch up for a real competition like the good old days
It's just not really a competition. Yet. I feel in maybe two years Live will compete. I feel this aspect of competition will drive out what 2k does best, and they'll stop dicking around with VC, laziness, everything plaguing the game nowadays. But Live just isn't quite there yet to do this. We'll have to wait and see. There's a reason very few people play Live, the game just doesn't feel as good. That's why 2k can do horribly scummy practices like the VC nonsense and yet people keep coming back.
Good job putting this video together. Got to disagree with you on your gameplay "defense" review, 2Ks onball defense is horrible. It feels like your defender is on roller skates. This has always been my biggest frustration with 2K. This version, however, is worse because of the improvements to dribbling which makes the game unplayable IMO. I hate that the game forces you to play off ball defense. Your defensive man most of the time gets beat by the dribbler. Because of this defense is more enjoyable to play in live, they even released a gameplay patch yesterday to reduce spamming of reach in steals...this makes it even more enjoyable. The left trigger does not make the defense easy, if you are a skilled dribbler you can blow by the defender if they are glued to you. Again IMO man to man defense in live is much more realistic than 2K. Overall the FUN factor is definitely with live, and that's why I chose it over 2K this year. Keep in mind I bought both games, but found myself going back to live more. I sold 2K on Amazon for 50 bucks. I'm all about gameplay, and could care less about other modes. For me it's strictly online H2H, including live run.
this year there are currently no good basketball games. live may have certain edges over 2ks bullshit but live still isnt there quite yet. and 2k is just a mess i feel bad for anyone shelling out on 2k every year
I think that you could've been deeper with talking about the graphics. Because live has waaaaay better lighting, especially when they're outside. Everything else was spot on though 👍👍
u know it pisses me off that i got my 3 point bar at like 91 or something in 2k17, and my guy makes less 3s than when i had the bar at freaking 72, wtf, im gonna try live.
Chris S I'm sure the going do more modes n customization before the season even start they already fixed a lot stuff but they haven't lately the hurricanes
I'm on the fence on what one to buy I haven't played live since the very first PlayStation I just got an Xbox one s last week and always been playing 2k on my Xbox 360 but live looks like they are stepping their game up
Vince Sebaldez If They Both collab then, because no competition, the game will be able to do what it pleases and will be the only basketball game out. It's a bad idea.
The X-pert Genius I agree with live having better graphics, 2k has better face scans but everyone looks fake, live everyone looks human apart from their faces but the courts they play on are unreal you can see the roofs reflecting off the courts and the jerseys have so much more detail, from a distance live looks real it's only the close ups on the face that look average
I have the NBA live and 2k demo and never have played a basketball game, I love nba live, I might just get it, but I'm not a huge basketball fan I'm a football (European football) fan and I'm debating whether I get nba live, or fifa 18. Not sure
I ve been playing 2K17 for a year, and i spend more time on the chats and the stupids events than playing season games. Im definitely going for LIVE this time
I admit the nba live presentation is amazing, but the players look horrible. And theres not enough game modes, and its super stiff plus the cpu defense is much to lenient in the paint, but they clamp up beyond the perimiter
Killasupreme71 might be stiff a little..but keep it real..players driving and creating shots automatically!! Is way more fun than 2k..i forget about the stiffness..players ai on human plays defense
hey guys im about to get one game today. im hoping someone could answer me. can i play offline and have like a my career in it? unlike what ive read in someone who posted that nba 2k18 my career it has no offline feature
I actually took back 2k and got live it’s been a week now and I have no regrets always bought 2k but live is def steppin up I can’t wait for live 19 already
I think the grading system in Live 18 The One is absolutely inept. They penalize you for calling for a bad pass when in reality it was a good call and you were open, but the computer AI decided to pass the ball directly to a defender. It's as if the logic can't differentiate between what is a bad pass from an AI teammate and what is a bad call for a pass, so they just penalize you anyways. Also, to get an amazing grade all you have to do is set a couple of screens and spam pick and rolls. I would have paid $40 for this game but I didn't catch that it was only for preorders. It's $60 bux, so in that regards I think 2k is more worth it..
borgus schmorgus NBA live might have a case if it was still $40. Even then what is the definition of better? IMO gameplay in 2k is better. It also has more game modes and a bigger online community. I've never paid for VC or any form of micros from Madden to 2k. There is just more to do in the game without sacrificing gameplay, which to me makes the case for $60.
Douche Sensei Sure, but taking it a step further, all you have to do in Live to win is set a pick and roll. League finals against boogie, wall, melo, Durant? Easy, abuse the pick and roll. You can also set a screen and BOTH defenders on the switch follow the ball handler and you just wait on the wing for a pass to score an easy 3. The AI is just not there, especially when it comes to asking a pass from your teammates. I get that it’s a fun game, but I was disappointed in that I was looking for something to be more of a simulation and less arcade like.
I have been debating whether to get live or 2k for the Xbox one. I guess I will go with live this year. I am glad that live is trying to make a comeback. I remember playing live For sega.
NBA 2K18 has better graphics and has more realistic game play..... 2K has the all time legend teams.... I rather play that than the WNBA.... 2K wins this year.....
I bought nba live 18 for 7 dollars a couple days ago on the ps store and it’s made me quit playing cod WW2 to play this story mode. And the amount of different cool shit you can do with your character is what wins my vote.
I ended up getting NBA Live, I'm not a hardcore basketball video game player so it's good to get into every now and then. I don't think you mentioned it but I prefer the myplayer mode in Live opposed to 2K, I'm not with all the cinematic cuts.
If you're making contested shots in 2k18 youre either making perfect shots or somehow glitched the difficulty to rookie. & even then thats after paying $100 for VC, other wise youre missing every shot you try to make. Open or otherwise.
Jorn Yorn good luck with that. I bought 2k and couldn't stomach 2 minutes of it let alone GRIND on it lol it sucks man. I hate I wasted 60 on it seriously, but I play live EVERYDAY. It's addictive, fun and a true sim basketball experience. Don't get me started on the myplayer and customization. 2k is for children compared to this
Lol this year they are practically forcing you to pay vc. there is no modifier anymore based on what difficulty you play on, the neighborhood shit they advertised is basically vc only. cant view haircuts unless you buy em then you got the whole shoes and clothes thing which is also vc. compared to past 2ks you earned more vc but this year is the worst you will never reach 99overall or even 85 without purchasing vc. live 18 is the better game in many many ways
New video covering NBA 2K19 VS NBA Live 19 here: th-cam.com/video/6xy4UyE_p2c/w-d-xo.html
LMAOOOO I ALWAYS SKIP DAVID ALDRIDGE LMAOOO
KBuckets He's honestly the most unappreciated person in 2k😂
No one cares what he has to say thou lol
Funniest part of the video cause it's so true 😂😂
He keeps repeating the same shit.
"Yeah so" thanks Dave
VC is the worst thing to ever happen.....
So truuu
Dom FromWinston don't worry about it you can p,ay without VC just like you can play without ultimate team points
Dom FromWinston ikr its pay to win and the game is not free its 60 bucks
A Lone Tenn0 you nba live fanboys are only focusing on MC lets focus on lives LUT nothing new added in the past 10 years still making you pay for packs there is a difference 2k has been adding new things to MC every year.
Ezekiel Elliott "still making you pay for packs" but you need VC for My team packs. And to get enough VC you have to pay real money. You're just a hypocritical 2k fanboy
NBA live is the future. They keep getting better every year..can't wait for the future live titles
Ivory Taste 2k going to always be better
are you high
Supreme Baller EA stopped making live in 2010 and started it again for live 14.
They don't release a game every year, how can they be getting better.
Nba live
"Non-skippable cutscenes in BOTH GAMES." The Live cutscenes are skippable tho...
Suburban White Teen that says the n word every day Right?
Suburban White Teen that says the n word every day your name lol
Suburban White Teen that says the n word every day they had unskipable cutscenes in nba live demo
Suburban White Teen that says the n word every day I can skip cutscenes in 2k. Like in MyCareer MyTeam and just regular play mode
+Jace Kelley are u stupid? NBA LIVE 18 HAS BETTER GRAPHICS THEN 2K18
I'd put it this way,
If you want a game that feels extremely real, I'd get Live
-The crowd really looks solid in this game
-The animations are great
- the commentary is also very good
If you want a game with more content, I'd get 2k18
-Better story
-More diverse MyGM and MyLeague
-Much more things to do in the game overall
2k has been pissing me off since 2k16, and honestly this year they crossed the line.
starkiller0235 u still got it? wow u gonna by 2k19 anyway so stop
Sherell Hines I'm not, especially if they switch to the frostbite engine.
Sherell Hines sorry dude I'm playing 2k15 right now as I'm typing no way am I buying this blatant cash grab of a game.
starkiller0235 lol its now your playing 2k15 they shut the servers down stop lying😂😂😂😂
Jordan Bonds you can still play offline. Exhibition mode I mean.
It's kind of crazy that Nba Live is now getting actually closer and closer to 2k
MyNinja Djibril well if you don't even make a game the previous year there is nothing you can get but closer lol
MyNinja Djibril past it**
A Lone Tenn0 not even close
MyNinja Djibril truuu I used to think of live as like the cheap, garbage ripoff but now it’s actually starting to compete
yall might not remember but it wasnt too long ago that live was the marquee bball game. it wasnt until like 2k11 that it started losing out big time
If 2k18 wasn't a VC trap I would've gotten it this year, but I'm glad I got live cause it's a lot more fun than I thought it would be.
Tyleed Smith straight up same
Tyleed Smith ikr
EA is definitely going to make more money this year...Live 18 just feels better high key
Chris Bonner they didn't tho. Still ain't going to either. How u feel now that the facts are in?
I got live as a female baller it’s cool being able to play with the WNBA and I think the my career in Live is a better experience to me
that's dope
stacey glover 💯🏀🏀
i take Live this year. To me, gameplay is more important than those faces. 2k might have an edge when it comes to players face but the gameplay is almost the same as 2k17. Can't play hard defense or blocking layups because it is going to be an automatic foul. Live doesn't do that. No bs VC either. 2k items are even more expensive this time too. LOL! No thanks 2k. Live > 2k this year.
J Ken gameplay I would still go with nba 2k
Dark Lord Sauron I don't fully agree! I bought the game, Live 18 and the graphics is good!. Their rotation or team defense is better too
Dark Lord Sauron i'm not going to play the game zooming in to players faces. Body in Live 18 has better cuts than 2k. Most faces may be better in 2k18 but their gameplay sucks! Layups, driving to the basket is much better in Live 18.
Live is all animation blocks tho 2k requires actual timing and 2k looks 10x better on a 4k tv i love 2k this year but live is just decent they definetly on the come up tho might be nice in two years
IT looks 6'5 in live and on court they all look the same height
I like the dribbling better in Live 18
Nba live is so much fun
teamhebi13 u work for them?
OKC thunder fan since 9/23/17 2018 champs
teamhebi13 yeah it would be even better if they had old players and European people
yeah more like nintendo , a machines game hahahaha! okay!
I like the fact that you don't miss everything in live like in 2k and the cutscenes are actually realistic, and skippable
Nba live
Been playing both games with my bro. We both are having more fun with nba live. The dribbling sucks in live but the layups are so good. You just can't score layups in 2k.
Ioanna 2k layups sucks so bad if live can get rid of that stiff play I might go back to live 2k is falling off
The dribbling definitely doesn't suck in Live, just takes time getting used to it. It's so responsive, you don't get any input lag like you do on 2k.
2k double moves=layup success
Then increase the sliders in layup to 60 or 65
NBA 2k and live super game for 2019
Bioh Productions I don't think you understand business
I hope people realize all the comments on this video of people saying "live is good" or praising live in any type of way are people that work for ea sports.
OKC thunder fan since 9/23/17 2018 champs I don't work for ea 😳
da noony this is just a joke i get that there two rival companies and probably won't but if supreme and Louis Vuitton can collab why can't 2k and ea
Bioh Productions because that's a clothing line. Not a game. If it was a shitty clothing product, then no one would buy it because that's considered high end clothing. Basketball video games are practically an industry, and there would be no incentives for it to be good. If it was shitty, too bad because there are no other basketball video games so you would have to buy it.
I just bought NBA live 18 to see how there franchise mode compares to NBA 2k, my 1st basketball game was NBA live but switched to 2k a long time ago and this is my 1st time playing live in years, I can't edit rosters, or drafts, or even create a player other then the one mode what is going on am I missing something? can someone please answer.... getting so pissed trying to find online draft sharing or something
Smokey Lott non existent bro smh.
dmn my PS3 2k17 had tattoos still.... moved to PS4 NBA 2k17 and 2k18 no tattoos on edit/created players shity, thanks for helping bro no one would answer me
bought live hoping for better franchise modes ohwell
They might add it in soon
Dude be patient
The devs that work on live got hit by Hurricane Irma
thanks for the feedback I love making realistic drafts and just playing franchise/season modes I even make 2022 drafts with lebron jr
Both games are great in their own ways. I play 2k and live and they're just great this year. 2k fanboys are gonna hate live for no reason but ea doesn't care they're still making money. Just like battlefield and call of duty if you dont like one leave it alone
The game was on sale for pre-order... that’s embarrassing.
Lol part of the reason why NFL 2K5 was so successful was because it was sold at a discounted price of $30 at release rather than the full $60. And despite it's greatness, it still sold only about as much as Madden 2005.
CARTI TV that is a very helpful comment thx
NBA Live 18 is now $4.85 on PSN until 2/20/2018. So it was a no-brainer for me. Great review.
W C Now I have a question: Would you have paid $60 for it? In comparison to 2K18
I understand not liking the auto lockdown defense in Live, but being used to a 2k glitching past defenders doesn't mean its not a big deal. 2k has gotten away with a lot of bugs and issues because people are just used to them even though it breaks the game.
banks615 exactly what i was thinking these 2k players are numb to it
I totally agree...I just left comments breaking down the defense advantage in live.
That defense topic u were talking about is wrong. Holding l2 u just don't lock ppl up. Play superstar or live run and just do it. It won't work. With defense u have to anticipate where the defense is going.
"David good evening"
"Well guys-"
"And that's how Russ has always been DA"
Great vid, I like both games. 2k's Ai is trash compared to NBA lives. I enjoy playing the computer in live
For testing nba Live 18, back on 2k18, seems impossible to me. The Ea game gives me more of everything in emotions. Also, the studio seems really supported the game (maj yesterday again). Wnba nice addition. Not really if you like basketball it's easy to fall in love with this nba Live 18
I'm sorry but I can't get past the VC crap. This is the first year that I'm not buying 2K since 99.
NBA live 18 Park is better then nba 2k18
mr brooklyn how do you find the park in live?
Real Recognize Will I enjoy NBA LIVE 18 parks because of the city and gyms they play at but I am a NBA 2K18 fan but NBA LIVE 18 have them with the parks my opinion
Real Recognize Will You have to play 'The One' and do the ProAm tour. Parks galore my man, all of them dope as fuck.
heck no u stupid
+Envyerz
God job man. Though you missed a few things you can include in the future. Presentation includes in-game menus which you didn't mention.

The colors in LIVE are excellent as well compared to the primary looking colors in 2k. There is more sophistication in the visual approach of LIVE than 2k. Proportions of characters look better in 2k it seems though it might be the stiff models in LIVE or the poor/stiff animations or a combo of both.
Cheers!
NBA live
Cyber Nobody plays 2k
Really amazing video bro! Everything you said just cleared out what I was looking for!
Missed layups on 2k has been a problem for like 7 years now lol. I honestly don't get why it can't be fixed.
complacency on 2k's part
How do you make a video like this without some sort of on-screen display to indicate which game we're looking at in any given moment? I haven't played an NBA game in many years, I'm no expert, I don't know which is which.
I brought nba live 18 for 9.90 on Xbox Christmas.
nba live 18 9.90
nba 2k18 38.99 plus p2w vc points 💵💵💸💸 extra 60-100
I’m new to basketball and I am wondering which game to get I have never played a nba game before. Which one is better? I just got nba live mobile and it’s pretty fun.
2K's VC means I'm going back to Live. 60 bucks to play a F2P/P2W-style career mode? Fuck that.
C.J. M Bruh Ikr
How you feel now that u noticed live is a grind as well?
iIi ENT but they ain't forcing you to buy ingame money like 2K are doing with VC
Ken Kaneki ikr I'm ovr 85 in like 2 day
Do they both have franchise drafts you can draft with your friends online??? thats a must for me shits mad fun making your own dream team.
I’d be ok with the vc system if it was more reasonable on items like I’m not spending 4500 on a shoe and waste $50 for VC on a game that’s on a yearly cycle 2k16 grind was easier and more enjoyable but this VC shit is just going deeper and deeper in our pockets
What game is the best for going online and going to the park and customizing your character also graphics.
(I know that I know nothing about these games but they look really fun to play so all I want to know is what game has the best graphics and what game has the best online multiplayer
Yo 2k18 doesn't work. You have to judge the my career to a T on 2k you can't even make a dam shot
I had to pause 2k to comment! You did a great job! I grew up playing Live, then I stumbled across 2k around 2k15 and it was soooo lit! From then on I played every year faithfully and bought the little vc it took to experience everything. But now, 2K has gone way too far man! They are basically a cash grab game! The game play sucks, they have 50 patches, we can't make open layups , mind you I'm a driving and finishing center. The open blocks are fouls! The hair cuts are wack af. You can't see them before buying them. They took players and vc. I was an 89 overall 3 days after getting my preorder. Out of nowhere the game crashes and my game vanishes with my 900k vc! The crazy part is youtubers that are on the nba 2k18 vip list got they're players right back! I guess I was getting a little too far too fast smh. Ronnie 2k, Ld2k and Mike Wang have let the money and greed take over the quality in what used to be a great game! Oh and you forgot to discuss 2ks wack af story lines smh they are horrible. Live needs work on graphics and gameplay, if they just could fix those small things they would get all of us back. We need to come together and stand up too 2k with a competitor. That's the only way we win. Live can easily do that if they would just fix the minor stuff by listening to us! Anyway, great post! I subbed and liked!
2k11 best 2k ever with jordan on the case
CarltonNation true
Mj my idol plues its is the best 2k ever
Okay what about on 2K they have the older teams do they have that on Live whether it's online or play now?
#prayforDavidAldridge
Ive never been into basketball games but I tried to play 2k and ended up deleting it. Just tried free play days for live and ended up buying it because I was able to learn the controls and be able to actually play it. I dont even know basketball rules but for someone who isn't super basketball fan I think live is the only way to go.
Man I understand people mad at 2k right now but played both live too unrealistic, it’s all over the place u can make any shot green or not, but passing, dunking, dribbling, defense, rebounding( both weird af), shooting, and movement are all better on 2k let’s not get crazy
BigMojo41 because the players have weight and are grounded. Once I started playing the game like I would irl I got way better. 2k is collecting dust right now, they ruined the create a player, the customization is trash and not as deep as past 2ks. Still missing open layups and uncontested shots. Y'all so used to being marginalized and being allowed to do what 2k lets you, you don't even like total control anymore lol
2k11 had total control
troy phillips trust me bro just becuz I like it better than live don’t mean 2k the greatest game ever since 2k12 I been beyond pissed, I’ve feel like I been 2ks biggest critic outside TH-cam. Ik what it feels like to not be able to go up by more than 10 points, me and cpu going back n fucking forth the entire game, me loosing the ball and missing wide open shots n opp making contested shots when down, n it’s all to keep the game close... trust me I feel like Ik this games every flaw, n I even changed sliders n barely noticed a difference. All of this been in the game since 2k12. Besides all the bs I’m just saying I’m not ready to say sloppy(gameplay) live is better at anything but the create player shit, that I admit 2k threw that shit everywhere.... it’s not at all perfect but it’s still way more playable than live, live is ok tho it’s fun at least which 2k took that out of the game n made it so damn serous
BigMojo41 2k got used to no competition. bet next year VC is either gone or more achievable. i agree 2K is better, but just on the money aspect alone ill play live this year and wait to see next year. 2k now knows its not the only game and Live is threatening
Big J Britt yes I can’t stand vc, I kinda hate people can buy vc n at the same time call it a grind lol, it’s so silly .... I’ll be playing both no bias but hope they both catch up for a real competition like the good old days
I honestly really like this comparison because it's not biased unlike evryother reviewer out there
2k need to bring back create a legend mode
Trey ross Just make a MyLeague and in setting turn PlayerLock on. It's basically the same thing
from nba 2k13
It's just not really a competition.
Yet.
I feel in maybe two years Live will compete. I feel this aspect of competition will drive out what 2k does best, and they'll stop dicking around with VC, laziness, everything plaguing the game nowadays. But Live just isn't quite there yet to do this. We'll have to wait and see. There's a reason very few people play Live, the game just doesn't feel as good. That's why 2k can do horribly scummy practices like the VC nonsense and yet people keep coming back.
Good job putting this video together. Got to disagree with you on your gameplay "defense" review, 2Ks onball defense is horrible. It feels like your defender is on roller skates. This has always been my biggest frustration with 2K. This version, however, is worse because of the improvements to dribbling which makes the game unplayable IMO. I hate that the game forces you to play off ball defense. Your defensive man most of the time gets beat by the dribbler. Because of this defense is more enjoyable to play in live, they even released a gameplay patch yesterday to reduce spamming of reach in steals...this makes it even more enjoyable. The left trigger does not make the defense easy, if you are a skilled dribbler you can blow by the defender if they are glued to you. Again IMO man to man defense in live is much more realistic than 2K. Overall the FUN factor is definitely with live, and that's why I chose it over 2K this year. Keep in mind I bought both games, but found myself going back to live more. I sold 2K on Amazon for 50 bucks. I'm all about gameplay, and could care less about other modes. For me it's strictly online H2H, including live run.
Just earned a subscriber good video 😂👏🏼
dude gameplay game modes. nba live plays better basketball
Jan Go true
It gets so glitchy and the animations are fucked
Live ass calm down
this year there are currently no good basketball games. live may have certain edges over 2ks bullshit but live still isnt there quite yet. and 2k is just a mess i feel bad for anyone shelling out on 2k every year
It's more fun than 2k
Still missing layups in 2k18. Am I trash or do other people have this problem????!!!
Single Hitter22 it's everyone bro
Respect bossman ok that makes me feel better
I think that you could've been deeper with talking about the graphics. Because live has waaaaay better lighting, especially when they're outside. Everything else was spot on though 👍👍
DeAndre Christmas
The shadows are realistic
You ever been outside in the sun?
Immortal Vegan lol 😂😂😂😂😂
u know it pisses me off that i got my 3 point bar at like 91 or something in 2k17, and my guy makes less 3s than when i had the bar at freaking 72, wtf, im gonna try live.
2k wins customization. Where is the create a team, player, court aspects in nba live? It is nowhere to be found and theres also no legend teams.
Mark Martir bro i love live but its barebones.
Mark Martir 2K's customization is ass this year. CAP mode is horrible this year, it's 2K14 all over again.
DeAndre Christmas create players for the teams. That way thered be a way for creators to create legends in nba live.
Mark Martir You forgot to mention WNBA players on Live, plus they are still adding in features to the game. They will not stop updating.
Kingstyles05 Its great that some ppl appreciate offline wnba teams, but id appreciate legends more..
does nba live have something like myleague? and can i create a player. im gonna buy it soon and wanna know
Simple. Get live. 2k is absolute garbage
Corey Childress you right bro it's great
Your Right Bro But I Think You Used To Play 2k So You Shouldn't Be Talking :D
Corey Childress Simple. Get 2k. Live is absolute garbage
Your outta your fucking mind 😂
Live is for little kids. Arcade trash.
Thanks for compare man ..I'm rolling with live 18
Nba live is like $4 right now, so I we all know which is the better buy.
lil more than halfway through your video , so damn accurate . subbed
Appreciate you doing this but gameplay goes to live. I just pray a roster editing patch for live is coming
Chris S I'm sure the going do more modes n customization before the season even start they already fixed a lot stuff but they haven't lately the hurricanes
Live gameplay holds the L for auto defense.
Thats all they need now. If u can edited people and teams they will be the best basketball game
I'm on the fence on what one to buy I haven't played live since the very first PlayStation I just got an Xbox one s last week and always been playing 2k on my Xbox 360 but live looks like they are stepping their game up
I hate it when I choose something. Can you just both collab.
Vince Sebaldez If They Both collab then, because no competition, the game will be able to do what it pleases and will be the only basketball game out. It's a bad idea.
Please Does anyone help me, I'm new to the game and I don’t know who is the best NBA 2k18 or Live ??
You gave graphics to 2K? HOW?!
The X-pert Genius I agree with live having better graphics, 2k has better face scans but everyone looks fake, live everyone looks human apart from their faces but the courts they play on are unreal you can see the roofs reflecting off the courts and the jerseys have so much more detail, from a distance live looks real it's only the close ups on the face that look average
Thank u. Nba Live graphics are vivid af
Lmao live graphics are ass what are yall lookin at
Joe Robertson What are you looking at?
live character's body builds all are the same lmao tell me why curry buff asfuck on live?
I have the NBA live and 2k demo and never have played a basketball game, I love nba live, I might just get it, but I'm not a huge basketball fan I'm a football (European football) fan and I'm debating whether I get nba live, or fifa 18. Not sure
no 2K 18 gameplay is trash live gameplay is way better and is more smoother
I ve been playing 2K17 for a year, and i spend more time on the chats and the stupids events than playing season games. Im definitely going for LIVE this time
I admit the nba live presentation is amazing, but the players look horrible. And theres not enough game modes, and its super stiff plus the cpu defense is much to lenient in the paint, but they clamp up beyond the perimiter
Killasupreme71 they fixed the player models through an update its not like 2k where the players stay the same
CARTI TV the bodies dont look the same this year
Killasupreme71 might be stiff a little..but keep it real..players driving and creating shots automatically!! Is way more fun than 2k..i forget about the stiffness..players ai on human plays defense
Killasupreme71 stiff my ass.....cut it out....the game is fluid.....nothing stiff about it smh
Mitch Peezy Live is one of the stiffest sports games out there. I know 2k hurt you but try to be honest with yourself . The only series stiffer is WWE
hey guys im about to get one game today. im hoping someone could answer me. can i play offline and have like a my career in it? unlike what ive read in someone who posted that nba 2k18 my career it has no offline feature
Live doesn't deserve to be a competitor! Every player in Live looks, feels, dunks, layups, dribbles the SAME.
Conrad Hart you must have not played Live 18 then cus that’s false. Bigs can’t even dribble on live
Which game has a better my player mode as that's what I really only play anyone give advice which one I should buy?
And live is not stiff! Whoever said that don't know a damn thing about video games.
I'll be getting both for my XB1X i haven't heard if Live is getting a XB1X patch like 2k tho.
I prefer NBA Iive 18
I actually took back 2k and got live it’s been a week now and I have no regrets always bought 2k but live is def steppin up I can’t wait for live 19 already
Nba 2k is low graphic
Lol I remember playing Live 97 and NBA 2K... Time flew by!
In live you make triple contested layups all the time...
That intro was 🔥🔥
I think the grading system in Live 18 The One is absolutely inept. They penalize you for calling for a bad pass when in reality it was a good call and you were open, but the computer AI decided to pass the ball directly to a defender. It's as if the logic can't differentiate between what is a bad pass from an AI teammate and what is a bad call for a pass, so they just penalize you anyways. Also, to get an amazing grade all you have to do is set a couple of screens and spam pick and rolls. I would have paid $40 for this game but I didn't catch that it was only for preorders. It's $60 bux, so in that regards I think 2k is more worth it..
slug no its not live is the better game no pay walls
borgus schmorgus NBA live might have a case if it was still $40. Even then what is the definition of better? IMO gameplay in 2k is better. It also has more game modes and a bigger online community. I've never paid for VC or any form of micros from Madden to 2k. There is just more to do in the game without sacrificing gameplay, which to me makes the case for $60.
slug NBA live scoring system is actually better because in 2k I'll set an assist and if they not make it I'll get -1 point like wtf
Douche Sensei Sure, but taking it a step further, all you have to do in Live to win is set a pick and roll. League finals against boogie, wall, melo, Durant? Easy, abuse the pick and roll. You can also set a screen and BOTH defenders on the switch follow the ball handler and you just wait on the wing for a pass to score an easy 3. The AI is just not there, especially when it comes to asking a pass from your teammates. I get that it’s a fun game, but I was disappointed in that I was looking for something to be more of a simulation and less arcade like.
BALLIsForLIFE Not following? Do you mean that you set up an assist and if your teammate doesn’t make it you’ll get negative points?
I have been debating whether to get live or 2k for the Xbox one. I guess I will go with live this year. I am glad that live is trying to make a comeback. I remember playing live For sega.
Presentation is more than just score overlays. The commentary on Live is literally worthless.
Hey I'm want to buy a nba game but don't know which 2k or live. Can someone help
Live 18 took the W
How do you get to that park thing that there's footlocker
I play NBA live 18
Great video man NBA Live 18 wins hands down 2K is alright but Live is realistic basketball. NBA Live fan since 95
Live
Someone help me?
What is better nba 2k18 or nba live 18?
NBA 2K18 has better graphics and has more realistic game play..... 2K has the all time legend teams.... I rather play that than the WNBA.... 2K wins this year.....
I bought nba live 18 for 7 dollars a couple days ago on the ps store and it’s made me quit playing cod WW2 to play this story mode. And the amount of different cool shit you can do with your character is what wins my vote.
Live sucks and live is dead 2k18 killed it
coolbros 19 I agree
I ended up getting NBA Live, I'm not a hardcore basketball video game player so it's good to get into every now and then. I don't think you mentioned it but I prefer the myplayer mode in Live opposed to 2K, I'm not with all the cinematic cuts.
2k gameplay is light years ahead of live
lol live has always been shit
Jo Shmo not this year (clicks tongue)
Charles Murray lmao really 2k gameplay is light years behind that's what u mean
I haven't bought any of them.
Which one should I get?
I voted trump
Lane good when the war starts. U and everybody who voted for him go fight in the war. Good job. Thanks....
ZERO TATTS REVIEWS ok mate, are you just gonna walk kim jon un whatever his name is and say you dont support your president?
ZERO TATTS REVIEWS
Yea he just ended the Korean War. Make no mistake HE ended the Korean War. The left can't even spin this one.
If you're making contested shots in 2k18 youre either making perfect shots or somehow glitched the difficulty to rookie. & even then thats after paying $100 for VC, other wise youre missing every shot you try to make. Open or otherwise.
2k... SIMPLE
So how much money on vc u plan on paying for
I plan on paying for no vc cause grinding for my overall in 2k18 is what your supposed to do, not just buy your way up to 85.
Jorn Yorn good luck with that. I bought 2k and couldn't stomach 2 minutes of it let alone GRIND on it lol it sucks man. I hate I wasted 60 on it seriously, but I play live EVERYDAY. It's addictive, fun and a true sim basketball experience. Don't get me started on the myplayer and customization. 2k is for children compared to this
Lol this year they are practically forcing you to pay vc. there is no modifier anymore based on what difficulty you play on, the neighborhood shit they advertised is basically vc only. cant view haircuts unless you buy em then you got the whole shoes and clothes thing which is also vc. compared to past 2ks you earned more vc but this year is the worst you will never reach 99overall or even 85 without purchasing vc. live 18 is the better game in many many ways
Live 4Christ Because you suck . Live is obviously trash everyone has the same animations
