NBA Live 18 Review: 3 Ups & 3 Downs

Downs...

3. Lack Of Balance

One of the main problems regarding NBA Live 18 is lack of consequence. For example, driving into the lane is rather easy, while shooting next to an opponent that's not doing much, just standing next to you, can be extra hard. Big men are quick and agile, and don't have have a problem bringing the ball up the court and attempting reverse dunks or lay-ups. Generally, the way to succeed is through individual, not team plays.

In regards to presentation, it fails to adjust to important moments. When you win a championship the commentators don't seem to understand this profound moment. The championship celebration is also more "meh" than anything.

The One is the best game mode of NBA Live 18, but even it can get frustrating, as your teammates too often prefer to stand behind the three point line and wait for your move than actually participate in the game.
