OFFICIAL NBA Live 18 Thread | Available Now

The only reason why most people won't touch the WNBA side of things is because it's offline only.

That December date might be right. I mean Live hasn't announced a cover athlete & there's no preorder. Guess we will have to wait and see.
 
Hit the paint with the NBA LIVE 18 Soundtrack

NBA LIVE 18 is set to tip off in September with a new soundtrack curated to get you ready to run the court. EA is lacing up your NBA LIVE 18 listening experience with 31 bangers that go hard in the paint in like Boogie and the Brow. Basketball and music are interconnected in ways that go deeper than merely providing ambient noise in the arena or at the local run.

This season, superstars like Rick Ross, Kendrick Lamar, and Kid Cudi lead off an impressive roster of musical talent. The heat assembled on this soundtrack is guaranteed to enhance your NBA LIVE 18 experience. Trust us, this is The One.


Kendrick Lamar rips through his single “DNA” like Kyrie carving up defenders. NBA LIVE 18’ is all about player control, and no rapper in the game has mastery over his delivery like Kendrick. Every player is unique in NBA LIVE 18, and every outcome is based on the decisions you make in real-time.

The duo of THEY gives you the feeling of Giannis Antetokounmpo in the open court with a sing-along hook and sharp drums on “U Rite”. There are plenty of up-tempo tracks that will keep you moving like Lonzo Ball advancing the ball full court. Take for instance, MMG front man Rick Ross’ “Summer Seventeen”. Ross’ track is co-piloted by Yo Gotti and is a foundation for setting up a glorious run for your season. If this track doesn’t get you amped, you don’t have a pulse.

Kid Cudi’s “Surfin” is a celebratory jam that provides just the right amount of fuel you’ll need if you’re new to the franchise or reinvigorate the confidence of a seasoned vet. NBA LIVE took a brief hiatus, but it’s back with a new wave, new game play, new features, and a new approach. You’re going to be blending defenders, once you master the new mechanics of NBA LIVE 18’. You’re going to bounce to Mura Mura’s “All Around The World” featuring Desiigner while shifting your opponents with crossovers and hesitations.

Collaboration in basketball is necessary for success, and even the best teams can improve. There’s no shortage of super team ups on this year’s soundtrack. 2 Chainz’s loose change flow meets Travis Scott’s signature ad-libs when they run the full court press on “4 am”. The song is a boast about their respective ability to pull up anywhere and anytime like the Splash Brothers in Oakland. Speaking of Oakland, Bay Area rapper Kamaiyah makes an appearance with “How Does It Feel”, a classic Bay Area slapper.

Creating your hand-picked squad for Ultimate Team is a lot like Joey Bada$$ reuniting with his Pro Era squad and the Flatbush Zombies for the riot inciting “Ring The Alarm”. The track finds Joey jumping back into his “Beast Coast” mode trading bars with the squad and allowing teammates like Kirk Knight to get some well-deserved shine. You’ll have your pick of legends to choose from in Ultimate Team and two legends in Nas and J Dilla connect for “The Season”. The track pairs one of the greatest rappers of all-time with one of the greatest producers of his generation.

Rising stars Playboi Carti and Lil Uzi Vert team up for “wokeuplikethis*”. The track is new school hip-hop at its peak. It features a snapping sonic beat, two of the hottest new rappers in the game and a meme worthy hook. The new “One” story mode allows you to make a name for yourself and there’s no better track to set the mood than Russ’ “I’m Here”.

Dave East and A$AP Ferg connect on “Paper Chase” which finds East’s smooth delivery bouncing off Ferg’s high octane flow. Machine Gun Kelly, Quavo and Ty Dolla Sign make a big three on “Trap Paris”. NBA LIVE 18 has recreated some of the most iconic basketball locations from the Drew League to the Dyckman. The NBA LIVE 18 soundtrack makes sure to highlight sounds from multiple regions.

Some other standouts on the soundtrack are Lil Uzi Vert’s smash single “XO Tour Life”, The Gorillaz’s “Let Me Out” featuring Pusha T and Mavis Staples, and Amine’s “Heebie Jeebies” featuring Kehlani.

Was announced like when the game was I think

I want to say that sounds right, and also add that the guy just won the MVP and made league history in a big way, so I see nothing wrong with that. Plus, I'm pretty sure there was a video out of him recording dialogue for the game as well, but I could be mistaken. Overall I don't mind that.

As far as the WNBA, I think it's interesting and overdue. I don't know how a game just with them would do, so this is a great way to get them some much needed exposure and I feel it's overdue. It's only fair they get a shot in the video game world. Plus it sounds like the possibility is there for them to be in the park side as well, and I like that. Mix and match some of both men and women has some potential.

I'm hopeful and looking forward to it. I hope the 2k fans feel the same way, because that gets all us NBA game players a win in the long run.
 
NBA Live official release date is Sept. 19th.

If you preorder you can get it Sept. 15th
 
How much this joint going cost?

They can EAD if they think I'm paying anymore than 39.99 for this game lol

Which demo? 18? I can't find it on ps4 if so. And I think you should give live a shot. They do a better job of updating during the season in my opinion and try to show a bit more appreciation to their fans a bit more than 2k as well to me. 2k just doesn't have good support or customer concern from what I saw playing it. I admit, that was 2k14ish? I believe. Hopefully they've changed, but I won't go back to them. Left a sour taste if you know what I mean. I hope both are good though like I stated previously. Hope you like the live demo if that's what you're downloading.
 
Saw a guy live streaming on youtube, apparently you can create a account and have your location as New Zealand. Since its already the 11th over there you can download the demo
