I like what they did here, just as I did in Madden, and think it’s fun to play. I have come to majorly respect card-based gaming, especially in sports, in the last year. Ultimate Team: This is just like the card game in Madden.
It’s a good mode that usually leads the charge with EA Sports titles and it’s no different here. I played as the Phoenix Suns and enjoyed every minute…getting my ass handed to me. You get the Madden NFL structure with this mode as well, which isn’t bad. You will literally see your player get better in certain areas when you’re playing.Īs for the other modes, let’s break them down:įranchise: Pick your favorite NBA team and ride it out. All of the upgrades translate to on court results, so all the effort you put into achieving them won’t be for not. It’s impressive the extensive amount of upgrading and leveling you can go through in The One mode.
In addition to all this, you can earn and change player attire and customize your big fella anyway you want. The latter of the XP upgrades slowly unlocks as you level your character, which allows you to adjust more attributes on the player.

The XP also allows you to slowly upgrade your character in skill areas, such as dribbling, shooting and quickness. This XP is used in upgrading traits of the player, which include statement dunking, better shooting off the dribble and/or stamina recovery. For example, you might be asked to make a certain amount of layups or assists during a game, or an overall player score for the game (you build a score with doing things right), then you can earn XP and points from doing so. Speaking of level, the skills tree system in The One operates on player achievements that are set forth before every game. I spent the most time in The One and enjoyed building John Smallberries to a great level. Despite the inclusion of annoying ESPN figures, and un-skippable intro to every street ball site, the gameplay progressively gets better and more fun as you move forward in it. Building up abilities of the player through achieving certain game-by-game challenges provides solid motivation to keep moving forward in the game. The mixture of street ball and an upward path to stardom is intriguing. Unlike the campaign in Madden, The One is the typical gameplay design that you would expect from a sports title, where you create your character, see him through early in his career and try to make him an NBA legend. First, it has the same sort of structure as Madden NFL 18, where you can play a storyline with a customized character (not so much a campaign) and lead them to draft night and into the NBA, which is called The One. NBA Live 18 has a lot of gameplay built into it. Without further delay, let’s get right into it.
It still lacks in some areas, in controls for me in some respects, but for the most part it has made a giant leap forward with this year’s edition of the game.

NBA Live 18 has improved the series dramatically in worthwhile content with the inclusion of The One, which includes The Streets, and has opened up the game with a various amounts of solid challenges. With the re-emergence of NBA Live in 2013, the series has slowly, but surely, started to chip away at 2K’s lead, yet has never really made any viable leaps towards the crown. There’s no doubt that NBA2K has taken the reins of the NBA video game basketball world and hasn’t looked back. He’s a cool cover player, but we will pray for his safety since he’s on the cover (that’s a thing with all EA covers, right?). Plus, they have James Harden as their spokesperson. They have done well with this year’s edition. Okay, folks, it’s time to give NBA Live 18 a chance.
