NBA Live 19 Demo Friday, August 24th

[Rudy]

Anxious to see how RPM in the Live game will make players feel. I never had a big issue with player movement in Live. My biggest issue was the cpu offense mimicing real teams and not all acting the same with the PG driving the lane too much. I'd like to see a wider variety of animations for different situations. Anyone know what teams are in the demo?

Unfortunately, they haven't announced any details or begun to hype up the demo yet. The facescan app should also be available at anytime now so users can get their face/player into the demo before Friday. The marketing of the game has been very up and down this year, but 'should' be very busy from now through release.

At least they have a demo. Most games skip this step. 2K doesn’t offer a demo outside their individual mode I believe.

I hate that I have to play the One Player junk to play real basketball. They did that last year too.
