NBA Live 18 Revealed at EA Play, Comes With Two Career Modes

NBA Live 18 made a comeback this year at EA Play during EA’s E3 press conference in Los Angeles. It features a brand new career mode called The One, which allows you to play in both the NBA from the ground up as a rookie. You will also get to play in the Streets in 5v5 pick up games against NBA Legends.
That’s not all, however. NBA Live 18 will feature online play in Streets mode, where five players on each team will be able to play against each other in you make the rules street rules. Your play will determine how your stats level up and also allow you to unlock new gear like sneakers, clothes, etc. To entice players to get the game, their will be a free demo in August that will let you progress carry over to the full game release.
Your path is defined by the choices you make with the freedom to play how you want, with whom you want, and where the respect you earn in THE STREETS matters just as much as the rings you earn in the league. No solid release date was announced for NBA Live 18, but the game does tend to release in September close to the NBA 2K titles.
It seems like EA recognizes the short falls that the NBA Live franchise has endured in recent years, especially with lack of sales numbers compared to 2K. The reworked ‘The One‘ Career mode with both NBA and Streets modes really adds a lot of depth to the game. Not sure how it will stack up against 2K, however, but EA definitely did its part by making the game stand apart and alone on its own in the basketball genre.
