Uploading and blogging back to back? 2k and EA has a brotha working over time today!
EA released a new NBA Live 18 trailer. My first reaction
was, FIRE. I saw new hairstyles, ultra realistic courts, new moves, and
better graphics. EA also officially confirmed
there WILL be a demo and it’s dropping in August. I don’t know about y’all but I
wish August was tomorrow, because I’m ready to get my hands on a new basketball
game. Now this is just a teaser trailer
and I’m sure like me you have a tone of questions and want to see some live
footage. Check out my new video reaction!
I personally am
looking forward to finding out about the career story, I’m a career player aside from
being active in the park. Sometimes I just like to chill alone and
enjoy the game. EA has been lacking on the career story since, well the beginning
of Live. But with games like fight night champion and FIFA 17 we know that EA
has the ability to give a fire immersive story. Come on EA, we know you have it in you!
Let’s get into the meat and potatoes of what’s NBA Live 18 player build is going to be like. As you can see from the screens shots, we have some of the same options from live 16. Slasher, Shooter, Big man, but there’s EVEN MORE! We now have the ability to choose play styles like back court defender, Wing scorer, Hybrid wing, the options are crazy!
With all of the options in NBA live 18, I have to admit, it’s kind of overwhelming. In NBA live 16 I went with a 6’5 SG shooter from the start, stepping out of my comfort zone of always choosing a PG first, then a Center. Unfortunately on NBA Live 16 you can only make one player and you have to delete that player in order to make a new one, major thumbs down.
Hopefully EA will fix this with NBA live 18 and we'll be able to make multiple players. I did not like my SG shooter at all due to the fact that EA had poor execution with the shot percentages no matter how open you shot, one second I was cash the next bricking. The jumpshots overall were not great. The meter was nice, but the execution, TERRIBLE. Lately I've been playing Live 16 a lot more. I deleted my shooter and made a 6’7 slasher PG, and I do have to admit I’ve been having a lot more fun in the game. The game still has a ton of issues, and makes me want to rage out at times, but like I said, it’s been a lot more fun than previously.
With all of these new play styles NBA live 18 has to
offer, like I said, I really hope they allow us to make more than one player. I’m so used to
being a shooter, if the shooting is better, I will most likely go with that, at
first. But I definitely would like to try some other play styles.
Start the count down now, August will be here before we know it. Stay tuned for more
