- I set up a Canadian iTunes account when this game first launched to try it out. It's good and very similar to Madden Mobile in structure.

I'll admit now, I prefer Madden Mobile for a few minor reasons:

1) Madden allows you to turn off the analog stick and basically play with by just tapping on the screen where the pass or ball-carrier should go. NBA LIVE requires you to play the virtual stick and skill move buttons. I just don't enjoy playing games like that on a tablet/phone.

2) The game uses a line-up system, so you can't just build one mega-team off the bat. Players you earn fit/play on one of pre-established roster/line-up types: Two-way, Small Ball, Defensive, Big Man, Shooting.


I do like the variety of Live Events and that by putting in the time you can establish a pretty good team, much like Madden Mobile. If you're a fan of Madden Mobile, I'd recommend giving NBA LIVE Mobile a try.

I am not a mobile gamer at all, but have to admit that I'm having fun with this.

EA will have a livestream tonight to coincide with the launch of the game.

This one is pretty active (events almost always going) with mystery presents and jerseys that be accumulated and traded in for items. It seems pretty easy to at least get something with this promo.
