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 / DiannyJ
NBA Live
I hope you guys haven’t forgot about NBA live. We should definitely have a mycareer, have options to take off shot meters, have dunk meters and some cool names on our builds. We don’t need a park like in 2k with moving objects and crappy lighting, we also don’t need a giant city that’s just laggy all the time. New tattoos would be a plus as well. Also if you make it a free to play game with a season pass that we can pay for and earn rewards for every season that would be awesome, I think you guys would still make a lot of money and bring in more people. Just update the rosters keep the season passes fresh, run events, etc. also you should make it where you have to green your shot to make it and we shouldn’t miss greens or wide open layups. Add badges (idr if that was in nba live 19). I liked nba live 19 but there were some flaws for sure, for example missing green shots, and glitchy animations. Please bring back NBA live for PC as well as console and make it cross platform with the option to turn it off as well. I’m not saying take out micro transactions because ya’ll have to make money but give us options of different clothing, balls, shoes, tattoos, etc.
