kotaku.com: NBA Live 10 is one of six EA Sports titles that will lose online support on Jan. 11., according to a notice from Electronic Arts. While retiring online features for sports titles more than a year old is not uncommon for any sports publisher, killing multiplayer support for NBA Live 10, which released in 2009, is noteworthy as it symbolically means the end of any professional basketball simulation offered by EA Sports.
A scan of NBA Live's multiplayer community on PlayStation 3 just before publication showed 377 online and 36 playing a game in progress.
EA's professional basketball game will not launch on time for PS4 and Xbox One.
Replies(5)try to exclude any kind of microtransaction from this game, let us see if people will buy this over 2k20
They continue to make this but we can’t get games like Skate 4, Def Jam, or NBA Street smh.
Why last year wasn't bad per say but your not just gonna detrone 2k. It doesnt matter what u do to the game.

No, don't stop. We need competition beetween sports franchises in gaming. Push on and don't stop or the 'winner' will become lazy
EA and competition in sports games don't belong in the same sentence. They've had healthy competition in many different sports genres and the ones they could, they monopolised the licenses to effectively kill the competition. Poor Konami in PES were feeding off of scraps with their CL license.. EA went and bought that too. With them, there is no such thing as healthy competition.

I don't know about that, Nba live was the basketball game to get until Nba live 07 came out.
If you look at Metacritic NBA2K games have constantly outdone NBA Live. And a lot forget how much of a jump the original NBA2K was as it was only on the Sega Dreamcast which many gamers ignored due to pure ignorance and lack of knowledge on just how great that console was.
The last good ones were Live 04 n 05 for ps2 era n Live 06 last gen
Electronic Arts announces the quarters in which the new FIFA, Madden, NHL, NBA Live, Battlefield, and Anthem will be released.
That is one bold claim! Anthem has already been delayed once, what's to stop it being delayed again?
Would image that EA, if not Bioware, can get away with the "release now, patch later" mentality that's become standard with AAA gaming.
This is a release schedule for the fiscal year. Q4 means that it'll release between January and March 2019.
NBA Live has been finished for me ever since 2K came around
I don't like this.. i rather have one shitty basketball game and one very good one. More competition = better games.
Who even playst that game anymore
Me and alot of friends still play live10 online on ps3
Why can't EA just patch in a hosting ability with a P2P connection for users?
They are the worst for shutting down servers and forcing you to buy a new version just to play online >:(
