NBA Live 14 was so bad, NBA Live never recovered. Yes, it was much worse than the infamous NBA Elite 11. It's been 6 years since the last NBA Live, NBA Live 19. And NBA 2K is getting more and more pay to win without competition...

I struggle to understand why EA hasn't thought to revive the NBA Street series. By now they understand that Live is dead, but there's no need to give up on a basketball franchise. Forget a basketball sim title, you'll never catch or compete with 2k, but people would LOVE a return of the Street series. They could also introduce an online mode to compete with 2k's Park. I mean an arcade game with fun gameplay and an NBA license would do NUMBERS. The opportunity is right in front of them if they want it

I barely remember when this game was first released. When this game was released, they decided to release it as a 8th generation exclusive. Though it was first to be release on 8th generation gaming consoles, the game was garbage, and I avoided this game. I've played the PS4 version of NHL '15 and that game was garbage too. This was when NBA Live was put on life support after the NBA Elite '11 debacle. I've played NBA Live '95, '97-2000, 2004, 2005, '06 and '10 and they're leagues better than this crap.

@nippy3674 Месяц назад

Or - they would just change the series name to FIBA or FIBA Live and focus more on adding European/international leagues and national teams (like in NBA Live 08-10) (NBA would be still important, but less than 2K series). And EA with addition of global basektball teams and leagues should win the basketball game genre internationally. Imagine, if today we would have something like FIBA 24 or FIBA Live 24, with over 20-25 leagues to choose from (with NBA, G League and WNBA), fully licensed EuroLeague and EuroCup with all teams participating in every year, Eurobasket, Basketball World Cup etc. This idea would truly make NBA Live as an arcade competition to NBA 2K. So, NHL games have some European leagues, so why not NBA 2K or Live especially if they made another game?
