All of this is particularly interesting when we consider the fact that we got an absolute abundance of NBA Live 19 news in June last year. Yes there are some floating about of Luka Doncic potentially gracing the cover of the game, but since EA themselves have remained quiet on the matter, the troubles and worries of Live fans still very much persist.

With no official news on at least the cover star of NBA Live 20, never mind a teaser or a full-on reveal trailer, some fans are fearing that news of another cancellation will soon be published instead. However, EA have been awfully quiet about the newest iteration of their game thus far - so much so that some players are legitimately worried that they won't be getting a new NBA Live title this year at all. NBA Live 18 laid a very solid foundation for EA to bring back players to their virtual courts once again, and NBA Live 19 managed to fortify it even further, so it's only natural that fans have been eager to see what NBA Live 20 is going to be bringing to the table. The sheer fun that NBA Live's style of gameplay provides, together with its straightforward and - most importantly - fair system of player progression in its career mode, are easily the two main reasons why players decided to return to this franchise, despite it being an underdog title for quite some time now due to NBA 2K's merciless dominance in the genre. After taking a two-year hiatus from NBA Live 16, they have slowly been getting back on track to reclaiming the throne of basketball games.

EA Sports have managed to reignite the old fire in the hearts of numerous basketball gaming fans with NBA Live 18 and 19.
