Thanks for this thread.
You have made many excellent improvements compared to NBA Live 2018 and for this I want to say thank you.
But I think some things can be improved and some players could be better.
For example, and I would also say strangely, many Boston Celtics players:
Kyrie Irving, was much better in NBA Live 18, had a slightly thicker and more realistic beard. I think it was perfect, in NBA Live 19 it seems almost more like the Kyrie just arrived at the Celtics from Cleveland.
Marcus Morris, it seems almost bald when it is not. Also the "SR" should be inserted in the name of his shirt.
Jayson Tatum is PROBABLY THE WORST OF ALL, his hair should be revised but above all should be removed that white undershirt (idem for Demarcus Cousins of GSW) that will have worn at most twice in the NBA.
Marcus Smart, his hair should be reviewed. It's totally different, the same for color.
Guerschon Yabusele, is well done regarding the face but the color of his hair is now blond. He also wears a headband.
But there are also other players who are a bit hurt in my opinion:
Anthony Davis is perfect but why not put the possibility to change the color of the undershirt he wears? In reality, the color changes according to the color of the Pelicans shirt.
And why not put this possibility directly in the game editor?
It would also be nice to be able to wear the headbands or protective masks like the one Wilson Chandler of the 76ers wearing.
I hope you can really improve these little things, because the game is a lot of fun but seeing a whole team (like the Celtics in fact) not particularly cured is losing much of the realism that you want to give the videogame.
Thanks again!
The commentary is lacking big time and it needs an update or add different commentators to mix it up.
If certain players are just wearing the generic EA shoes, there should be an option for them to wear different shoe brands or just one brand instead of the generic shoes.
Since EA Sports is using ESPN in their game, it would be great to have ESPN radio in the game like they had it back in NBA Live 08 & 09.
When I first played the game, it took me a game where Iverson & Shaq were on the same team and that was pretty cool. So, why not add NBA legends to the game? Make them available to play and with the option add them to current teams.
Body type is an iussue as well. It seems like all the players have the same body type, the only difference is their height but body types should be fixed because every player in the game should have different bodies.
Jayson Tatum and Anthony Davis are wearing undershirts in the game, there should be an option if we want to remove them or change the color depending on what uniform they’re going to wear.
Maybe it’s me but if the game is supposed to resemble the players we see on TV, aren’t they supposed to sweat in the game? I’ve noticed the players in the game don’t sweat and there isn’t any sweat marks on their uniforms or sweat dripping from their face. So that’s something that could be added to the game.
Shoes need to be updated with the current ones players are wearing on the court.
When I go to Rosters and switch players to different teams, why isn’t there a trade option? The trade option was in Live 18 but it’s not in Live 19, that needs to come back.
There should be different game modes like “Playoff mode” where we can choose what teams go to the playoffs. All-Star weekend mode should be added to the game as well.
I like the current music in the game, it’s great and it fits with the audience you’re going after. But, maybe update the music too? Like add a few new songs or add old school hip-hop/rap whenever there’s an update coming for the game.
Not saying there should be fighting but it would be really cool to see players get in heated trash talk and get in each other’s face to the point where the refs or teammates have to separate them.
But there are few little thinks that I don't like is like some of the players in NBA LIVE 19, like Lebron James,Giannis Antetokounmpo, DeMarcus Cousins,Steven Adams and few more players his body shape like shoulders are too small but big head. Plus some of the players when they shooting their free pointer looking like they are shaking.
Then the most popular thing in the PS4 games are missing is 3pointers and slam dunk competition its on all stars game in it , which is very bad.. Then BOSTON CELTIC court or surface should be upgrade as their brown court is in a weird colour is no real. In NBA live 18 had a better body and body lightened, but in nba live 19 better colors.I like the light body in the hall in the streets and beautifully smoothed faces is better!What would be super graphics of nba in the real hall!Thanks 😉
