I truly believe they have an under the table agreement. EA and 2k. 2k wont press the NFL on opening up the license. They let EA have that. And EA will leave the NBA game front alone and let 2k have a monopoly in that area. Both companies benefit financially from not having comp. Thats what I believe. Cuz soon as EA talked about bringing Live back 2k was "making an arcade football game". But notice that soon as EA fell back on bringing Live back. 2k never dropped that game. This arrangement I think will continue
@@Xgloryboynick That's not true. That was a Twitter rumor. The NBA is not legally exclusive. But I think there is a sorta handshake agreement for EA to stay away
@ things is nba live games at released were torn apart by the community, so naturally they just stopped making them , and even more naturally because 2k19 broke all sorts of selling records for 2k and then 2k20 did as good or better .
Well with the current news of EA heavily pushing a return for a college basketball video game, there’s hope for another NBA title down the line. But it all depends on how well the college hoop game is received 💯 I am trying to be positive NBA Live will return at some point eventually!
Was always sad when the series ended after 19. I have an unreal amount of hours on that game and still play occasionally to this day

It’s not a theory , it’s half true , 2k got exclusive licensing for the nba from 2k20 to 2k25 or 26 .

I played Live from 95 to 06. Did pick up 16, 18 & 19 but 05 was last great Live for me.

After live 10 it went down hill, that NBA live with kd on the cover was like rock bottom for ea NBA
Add backgroundmusic.
Love the vids keep it upp❤
05 was the best live to me
EA needs to reinvest in NBA live and other sports games to if they want their swagger back.
EA need to stop making Madden too, trash 🗑 as game
Naw Madden is aight as a king of Madden it got way better now
😂
When he said live 16 I lost it 🤣. Live hasn’t been good since dwade was on the cover
This video could’ve been much much shorter. 😂😂 They stopped cause it sucked. 2k sucks too. But it’s the only one left
Because it was wack. EA suck
