As the Toronto Raptors and Golden State Warriors are two games deep into the NBA Finals, the WNBA season is also underway. On Monday (June 3), a brand new NBA Live 19 update arrived for the basketball game to reflect several adjustments based on these two concepts. In particular, several of the Raptors’ players got ratings boosts as they continue their postseason success. EA’s ratings adjustments for the Milwaukee Bucks weren’t as kind overall, though. WNBA players also got some love in the new update.
Seeing the comments on social media makes me believe that gamers aren't used to nice things happening just because a dev wanted to do it. What if the team did this update because in the other game gamers can update and share rosters with each other and in Live you cant so they took some time to update the rosters themselves for their players?
NBA Live 19 update for Raptors, Bucks players
By now, it’s known that the Toronto Raptors are the Eastern Conference champions after knocking the Milwaukee Bucks out of the postseason. Several players have been instrumental during their playoffs run including All-Star Kawhi Leonard and rising star Pascal Siakam. Both of these guys went up a point in the game.
In addition to those two players, the Raptors’ Fred VanVleet received a one-point boost on his current in-game ratings. This could change depending on how the NBA Finals play out.
Interestingly, Milwaukee Bucks star player Giannis Antetokounmpo slid in terms of his overall ratings in the update. NBA Live’s update pushed the “Greek Freak” down to a 96 overall. That means Kawhi has taken over ahead of him as a 97 overall in the game.
Giannis is considered a frontrunner to win the NBA Finals MVP Award, as he’s one of the three finalists along with James Harden (Rockets) and Paul George (Thunder). However, it’s Kawhi who propelled Toronto into their first-ever NBA Finals this postseason.
Giannis’ teammate Eric Bledsoe also dropped one point to become an 84 overall. Meanwhile, EA felt the need to reward big man Brook Lopez in this update. He moved up by a point to 82 overall.
WNBA Players get new likeness updates
The NBA Live 19 title is the only basketball video game to feature women’s players from the WNBA. Just like EA updates player likenesses for the NBA stars, they’ve done the same for several WNBA players in their newest update. Among them is the look for Liz Cambage of the Las Vegas Aces. The gaming community is already praising how good the likeness looks based on a side-to-side comparison.
Cambage was one of several players to get an NBA Live 19 player likeness update. The Las Vegas Aces’ Jackie Young, New York Liberty’s Asia Durr, Indiana Fever’s Teaira McCowan, Chicago Sky’s Katie Lou Samuelson, and Minnesota Lynx’s Napheesa Collier also received updates. Here are several of the new player looks as NBA Live tweeted them.
The latest NBA Live 19 update should take effect as soon as one launches the game on PS4 or Xbox. Meanwhile, we’re awaiting the first news of EA Sports’ upcoming NBA Live 20 title. That seems it should happen soon based on developments with Madden and FIFA.

It's fun, and for a mobile game, the graphic is great.
There's still some issues tho. Oftentimes, the app stopped suddenly, I have to start my game over again and it waste my stamina, not to mention some network issues. Overall, this game provided a good experience, but some of these issues prevent it to obtain higher rating. Hope you can fix some of this issues soon.'

Secondly, it's really tight fisted as it rarely gives you nba cash no matter how good you play or how many seasons you're winning. They really want us just to use our wallets.
Coins are almost useless too. I also see a lack of SGs too. And why is it that you can miss so many 'perfect' 2-3 pointers even if your player's shooting is above 90?' ,983000000,123,null,null,'3','Kinkongo Meso',null,null,2,null,null,null,'Harvey',null,2,null,null,null,'is a fun game if you are a basketball fan.

When I was only on my first day, I was able to create a league. That is league is booming with players. We dont win a lot when it comes to the 87 overalls that dont how to play the game.

The players don't play in the areas they are supposed to play eg. The sg plays in the corner and center plays outside the 3p line 2.
The center is slow when it comes to taking rebounds 3. The offense controls take time to change back to defence controls after a rebound 4.

One problem is that whenever there is a new campaign, it involves bonus pack, and levels of things that you'll have to get, but aside from that they have money where you could buy easily to get there fast, and then videos that help with it.

And other bugs that I couldn't mention here because there's like a ton of them. Hopefully this could be fixed as soon as possible. Please do EA.'

The defense and controls absolutely suck. 2.) It's irritating when you can't get a single basket to drop and the computer scores on almost every drive. 3.) I have changed teams MULTIPLE times to get a different Jersey color yet every time I play a game the teams almost always have the same white jerseys! Hard as hell to see who is who most of the time!

This game is never boring because of the events. So many different events you can spend your time on. I can literally play hours every day only with this game. Plus it's not a pay to win game.
With different trade ups and events you can get a lot of great high rated players you just have to play with it.

Also let there be different and unique dunks, layups, and please let there be backcourt violation along with fouls and free throws. There has to be more realistic physics to the game.
Try adding a MyTeam to the game so it could a little bit better the the other years.' ,767000000,59,null,null,'2','Lock Jaw',null,null,2,null,null,null,'Kassa',null,2,null,null,null,'love this game but it gets worse and worse with every update. I have players ranked 102 that don't ever do the thing they are ranked highly in. It's very selective of when you can make or miss shots and its impossible to compete with others unless you spend tons of money on players like they do.'
