    Today's financial report from Electronic Arts has disclosed that NBA LIVE 20 will be moving from its original and traditional Q2 FY20 release window to Q3, meaning it will be released after October 1. For comparison's sake, NBA 2K20 will be released on September 6, 2019 and NBA LIVE 19 launched September 7, 2018. The move may be one to get the title out of NBA 2K20's launch tsunami, allowing LIVE 20 to get some attention of its own.

    Polygon reached out to EA and received the following statement: “We’re planning a different approach to NBA LIVE this year, and will have more to share in the quarter ahead.” ...

    E3 2019 and accompanying developer conferences are upon us. Once a three-day event, studios have spaced announcements over a week+ span to get what they believe is a proper share of the limelight and avoid being lost in the shuffle. However, one could argue that due to the sheer volume of announcements, game information could still get overlooked despite attempts to stand out.

    To help keep you up-to-date with all the happenings at and surrounding E3, TGT has put together a guide to all of the press conferences by companies and studios such as EA, Xbox, Nintendo, and others.

    Per an apparent leak via Twitter user @mikescriburner, it appears Dwyane Wade will be the cover athlete for the NBA 2K20 Legend Edition, coming September 6.

    Based on previous release cycles, this would also indicate that the standard edition will be available on September 10. Historically, NBA 2K has released game info, if not a trailer, frequently during the NBA Finals, so cover athlete confirmation and perhaps first game news may be coming in the next week or two.

    Once confirmed, this would be the second time Wade has graced the cover of a video game as he was the cover athlete for NBA LIVE 06. ...
