NBA Live 19 is a basketballsimulation video game developed by EA Tiburon and published by EA Sports. It features Joel Embiid of the Philadelphia 76ers as its cover athlete and was released for PlayStation 4 and Xbox One on September 7, 2018.[1] The game is the 22nd installment in the NBA Live series, and the follow-up to 2017's NBA Live 18. It received mixed-to-positive reviews from critics, who praised the improved gameplay and modes, but criticized the AI and animations.
Features[edit]
NBA Live 19 features Joel Embiid of the Philadelphia 76ers on the cover. Much like EA's Madden NFL 19, the game includes gameplay improvements, with the introduction of real-player motion and the expansion of one-on-one features. It also is the first basketball game to include the option to create a female player.[2] In addition, NBA Live 19 received a new commentary team of New York Knicks radio play-by-play announcer Ed Cohen and ESPN basketball analyst Jay Williams. Furthermore, new presentation elements debuted for this season. Cohen and Williams replaced Mike Breen and Jeff Van Gundy, who had voiced the NBA Live series since NBA Live 14. The career mode is also enhanced with streetballer Grayson 'The Professor' Boucher and ESPN's First Take with co-hosts Stephen A. Smith and Max Kellerman, among others, reacting to player performances.
Career Mode – 'The One'[edit]
The career mode includes online features as well as offline modes – known collectively as 'The One' for both NBA and street games. Players can choose to create a male or female player, followed by choosing to play as a guard, wing or power forward/center. They then pick a play style, which determines two initial attributes that can be upgraded and three that can be unlocked for upgrades, and then pick an icon that corresponds to either a current NBA star or an NBA legend that determines a special ability and an extra attribute that can be upgraded as well as various boosts as the character gains experience. Moreover, three WNBA stars also have icons inspired by them. For example, if the player chooses to create a slashing guard, he or she can choose Beast Mode based on Russell Westbrook to increase dunking, The Answer based on Allen Iverson to increase steals or The Spark based on Candace Parker to increase shot blocking. The 25 icons and their associated players are as follows:

NBA Live 19 received 'mixed or average' reviews from critics on the PlayStation 4 and 'generally favorable' reviews for the Xbox One, according to review aggregatorMetacritic. Prior to its release, some reviewers questioned whether or not the game would be released due to the tepid reception and poor overall sales numbers of NBA Live 18.[10]
IGN gave the game 7.9/10, saying: 'I was pleasantly surprised by how much I liked playing NBA Live 19. The core basketball game and its various modes offer plenty of chances to have a fun basketball experience.. NBA Live 19 is great at simulating basketball and has fun modes to shake things up, but its personality comes up a bit short.'[8] In its 7/10 review, GameSpot said, 'NBA Live 19 is a capable and competent basketball game that offers a multitude of different ways to play and numerous reasons to keep coming back. Its impressive attention to detail complements the strong foundation set by its presentation and gameplay. However, the AI logic and animation problems are impossible to ignore given they're at the heart of the experience the entire game is based on.'[7]
Accolades[edit]
The game was nominated for 'Control Design, 2D or Limited 3D' and 'Control Precision' at the National Academy of Video Game Trade Reviewers Awards.[11]
