Critic Reviews for NBA Live 18
NBA Live 18's simplistic and fluid mechanics make for an approachable game of NBA, or WNBA, basketball. But for all that it does well on the court, elsewhere it fails to live up to its potential. There are plenty of side modes, but few have the depth or interesting new ideas to be worth getting invested in.
Still lacks the depth of its rival, but The One mode gives Live a destination mode worth building upon
EA Sports' basketball series returns from a one-year hiatus with new features that outshine its traditional modes.
NBA Live 18 is best for a very personal brand of basketball, focusing on a created superstar and the moves that make him stand out in a game that skews more toward individual play than teamwork.
Whilst it may not be the complete package, it does a lot right and has a new and sturdy foundation to build the future of the series on.
Unfortunately, NBA LIVE returns through the back door.

There are some promising base features in place from a gameplay, conceptual and presentation standpoint, but it's still not where it needs to be.
NBA Live is a great first step for recovering the right way, but there is still a long way to go before reaching the level of NBA 2K franchise.
