With the Golden State Warriors claiming another title last night, most basketball fans have probably shifted their focus to wondering where Lebron James will end up next season. But that didn’t stop EA Sports from announcing that they’re bringing back the NBA Live franchise this Fall.
NBA Live 19 will once again center around “The One,” which asks players to “forge their own path as one of the best high school players in the nation chasing the dream to become an all-time basketball icon.” EA Sports will also add Real Player Motion tech to the game, which should produce “smoother gameplay” for players:
NBA Live 19 will bring numerous new features and enhancements to the hardwood, building on last year’s strong foundation. Players will be invited to take their game around the world, facing opponents on new courts in Paris, Brazil, and the Philippines, with each court and tournament offering unique rules and challenges specific to those courts.
NBA Live 19 also marks the introduction of Real Player Motion (RPM) Tech into the franchise, introducing thousands of new animations and smoother gameplay than ever before. The game offers more choices for clothes, shoes and gear, and a new progression-system modeled after some of the sport’s greatest icons.
NBA Live 19 will be released for the PS4 and Xbox One on September 7, but all fans will be able to try out a free demo on both platforms beginning on August 24.
