people just sleep on it
I’ve been playing NBA Live 19 and it still holds up. The player movement, spacing, and transition game feel way smoother than most people give it credit for. Yeah, 2K has the hype and the microtransactions, but Live has that old-school flow. It’s just more fun sometimes — feels like basketball instead of a grind. I wish EA would’ve doubled down instead of backing off. If they dropped a Live 25 with an updated engine and fixed player models? It could actually make noise again. Glad to see I’m not the only one still hooping on it.🛠️ MMSE Error – NBA Live 19 After 15+ Days. Why Hasn’t This Been Fixed?
Dear EA team, It’s been over 15 days and NBA Live 19 online matchmaking still doesn’t work. Every attempt to play online gives us the MMSE error code, and there’s been no official response or update from EA. This issue is affecting many players across the community, and it’s been widely reported on the forums, Reddit, and social media. Everyone has tried all the usual fixes like restarting routers, reinstalling the game, checking NAT types, logging in/out of EA accounts and none of it works. What’s most frustrating is the complete silence. We understand NBA Live 19 is an older title, but it still has a dedicated fan base, and we deserve to know: Why hasn’t this been addressed after more than two weeks? Is this a temporary technical issue? Or have the servers been silently shut down without notice? The community is being left in the dark with no clarity or communication. Please give us a straight answer and we just want to know what’s going on. Thank you.NBA live 19
The servers are broken online play isn’t working for anyone I believe. EA FIX THIS WE WANT BASKETBALL GAMES TO BE FUN NOT REALISTIC THATS THE ONLY REASON LIVE STILL HAS A SMALL PLAYER BASE. I find it incredibly difficult to believe you guys never made another live considering it’s the fun version of 2k and now the servers don’t even work. Fix this soon
NBA LIVE 19 SERVERS
EA FIX THE SERVERS PLEASE. I GO TO PLAY LIVE RUNN AFTER A WHILE OF NOT PLAYING THE GAME, AND I GET ERRORS. LAST TIME I PLAYED THEY WORKED. PLEASE TELL ME YALL DIDNT SHUT THEM DOWN!!! THATS THE ONLY GOOD BASKETBALL GAME TO THIS DAY THAT COMPETES WITH 2K. PLEASE EA DONT SHUT THEM DOWN 😭Bringing nba live back to life
EA Sports team, We love basketball and want NBA Live to succeed again. Here’s what the community really wants from a new NBA Live game: Bring back affiliations — like in 2K17 — with 3 clear player types/affiliations, each with their own park. Let us spawn directly in our affiliation park, no huge city to walk through or load. Show us our MyPlayer drip by letting us walk around in our custom outfits and flex our style in real-time, not just in menus. Make real competitive park events with legit rewards — things like unlimited boosts, exclusive gear, XP bonuses, and leaderboards that keep us grinding and coming back. Create a dedicated “Stage” arena for the real competitive players — a place where the best of the best can play high-stakes matches, tournaments, and prove who’s the top dog. Keep the world compact and smooth — a clean park area with a store, gym, leaderboards, and the Stage arena, but no oversized city that wastes time loading or walking. Focus on fast load times, skill-based matchmaking, and crossplay to make the experience tight and fair. If EA nails this, NBA Live can easily win back players and stand toe-to-toe with 2K. The community wants a game that feels personal, competitive, and hype. Hope you see this and consider it for the next NBA Live. — A real fan and player COME HIRE ME!! Let’s work ‼️‼️The NBA Live Community Deserves a Comeback – It's Time for a New Game
Dear EA Sports Team, I’m writing this as a dedicated basketball gamer and long-time supporter of NBA Live. With the current state of basketball gaming, I—and many others in the community—firmly believe it’s time for NBA Live to make a comeback. The community is eager, the competition has grown complacent, and there’s a clear opportunity for EA to bring back a game that truly respects the sport and its fans. Why the Time Is Right The NBA 2K franchise, while dominant, has unfortunately become more focused on monetization than innovation. Year after year, core gameplay improvements are minimal, and the community is forced to navigate aggressive microtransactions just to enjoy the game fully. Many players feel that 2K has shifted its priorities away from the essence of basketball and toward profit at the expense of gameplay and player experience. NBA Live's Strengths Stand Out In contrast, NBA Live brought several refreshing features that still hold up today: A superior player builder system that offered flexibility and balance without locking crucial abilities behind paywalls. More accessible online modes, making it easier for players to hop in and enjoy the game without being punished for not spending money. Street and Pro-Am modes that actually felt like basketball—not arcade simulations filled with unrealistic animations. There’s a Growing Audience Ready to Support Gamers are more informed than ever and are actively searching for alternatives. A polished, next-gen NBA Live built on fair gameplay mechanics, community feedback, and modern graphics would be a breath of fresh air. With crossplay, offline grind-friendly modes, and a return to basketball fundamentals, EA could capture a massive share of a dissatisfied fanbase. We understand game development takes time and resources, but we urge EA to hear the voices of a passionate and growing community. Let’s bring back a game that puts players first. Thank you for considering the voices of fans who truly love the game. Sincerely, A devoted fan / DiannyJDribble move
I was loading into the game for the first time since I got a new console when I loaded in, I was missing all of the good dribble moves. This goes back from bone collector to the professor and influencer. This makes it very hard to play with your friends and have comp settings when they have all the good dribble moves and you don’t I used to have all of them but now they’re all gone. This is a very sad moment.
Future Of NBA Live
Let's be real, everyone wants to see NBA Live come back for one reason or another - whether that's because they actually enjoy the game, or the just want to see more competition in the basketball sim space, but as it stands, 2K is just that far ahead that it is really difficult to justify an NBA Live release UNLESS it is that good of a game. In saying this, I think the only option for EA is make drastic changes to its pricing and game model to compete. A lot of you won't like this suggestion, but I believe the best step forward for NBA Live is to truly become a live service game - similar to popular MMORPGs like World of Warcraft or Final Fantasy XIV, paying a monthly subscription fee to retain access. Since this is purely a sports game which doesn't have as drastic iterative improvements year-on-year, I think a lower price tag is justifiable, ie. $36 initial which gives you a free 6 months, then $4 per month or $40 for 12 months. Offline play should still be possible, and could be maintained through a mandatory login after 36 hours of offline game activity (which can then be resynced upon log on to NBA Live Online), at which point it returns to a trial state ie. can only play as 1 of 4 teams in a quick play mode. Is there a case to be made for inclusion of the game in EA Play for free / cost reduction, maybe, but that may make it unsustainable from a maintenance and iterative gameplay improvement perspective. At its core, most of the revenue should be made via subscriptions that incur the majority of the cost, it's about time EA stepped up to the plate and show that it can be better for the consumer than 2K regarding microtransactions - which should never be enhance the game play experience, only cosmetics, and at a highly affordable price (single digits for multiple cosmetics), unlike what we see in Valorant or League of Legends where they can cost $30+ for a single piece, which in some cases, you aren't even guaranteed to get. Every season / year is a new reset, all perpetually online modes like ultimate team are erased / archived so you can start again fresh - this isn't to say that your ultimate team is lost forever, it just can't be played in competitive, as current season cards come into play. Multiple cosmetic-only battlepasses could be added throughout each season that can be worked on at any time and are given to all players, whilst premium sets / bundles (designer / celebrity collabs) can be purchased via microtransactions and kept indefinitely. Battlepasses can stay for multiple seasons as well, so players who join NBA Live in 2025 can still earn the rewards from 2024, giving them more reasons to play. Cosmetics and achievements are all tied to your account, so whenever you make and level up or increase the overall of a created player, you can retain all the stuff that you got from potentially years ago. For offline and The One or franchise related modes, NBA Live can have player data updated throughout the years and retain multiple years running back, that can be downloaded from the servers with ease. For example - if you start a career in 2024 that season by the time the NBA 2025-26 season has begun, the NBA roster and draft will be reflected to more accurately match reality by the time that you do catch up in your virtual career, so theoretically, you could play one career for multiple years, and have each season accurately reflect the skills and landscape of NBA players. Or if you are playing H2H, being able to select the '15 Cavs or '21 Bucks because you have the official '15 / '21 NBA season roster downloaded. And hear me out, NBA Live becomes the premier way to play basketball on PC - with great support, optimisation and console cross-play utilising anti-cheat, you keep the audience large and capitalise on 2K's laziness. If there is a way to integrate this into NBA Live Mobile, even better; the competition is getting even fiercer with NBA Infinite entering the mix, which might I say, might be the best mobile ONLINE basketball game.
Street games comback: NBA Streets vol. 2 Remastered or NBA Street vol. 3
