NBA 2K18 Vs. NBA Live 18 - Which Game Is Better?
8. Roster
NBA 2K18 has the biggest roster in basketball video game history. Not only does it have present-day and historic NBA teams, but this year it added all-time teams for every NBA franchise. Thanks to that, you can determine which team had the best players in league history.
Yes, the rosters of some historic teams are lazy, but almost all of the key players are there, which still makes playing said team really fun.
All of the teams have a plethora of jerseys to chose from, which also enhances the experience and allows to make the next game between the same teams at least slightly different, simply by dressing them in historic uniforms
NBA Live 18 hugely disappoints in that aspect, as every team has just two jerseys. Lack of an alternative one is really a huge letdown, especially since NBA 2K teams have jerseys seemingly for every occasion.
The roster is also rather limited and WNBA teams just don't make up for the relatively small number of available players. Sure, they're fun to play, but the fact that they're only available in quick games is enough to deem them a nice addition, rather than a fully developed game mode.
The Winner: NBA 2K18
