New bits: NBA 2K18 features 17 more classic teams (including my beloved 1998-99 New York Knicks), and afeature called The Neighbourhood, a sort of virtual space where players can hang out, hook up for games and lookfor new gear. NBA Live 18 goeswith ‘‘The Beard’’, Houston Rockets superstar James Harden. NBA Live 15 and 16 were steady improvements, but the series has struggle to escape 2K’s shadow.Ĭover: NBA 2K18 has Boston Celtics point guard Kyrie Irving - that necessitated a bit of a design change when Irving was traded from the Cleveland Cavaliers mere weeks before the game’s release. Relaunched as NBA Elite, the game was a complete disaster and ended up being mothballed for four years. 1hoops game at the turn of the century, but EA Sports dropped the ball in about 2010. NBA Live, well, it’s had something of a chequered past. It has a massive fan base, including a very high profile among actual NBA players, and 2K has done a phenomenal job in recreating the sport on screen. Hayden Meikle does a quick comparison between NBA 2K18 and NBA Live 18.įorm: NBA 2K has been the leading basketball video game for close to a decade now. But for now, NBA 2K18 remains king of the court.
The gap has closed - and could keep closing the next couple of years.
