Alright, so the other day I was trying to figure out something about this game, NBA Live 19. I’m a huge fan of basketball games, and I used to play NBA Live back in the day, like around 2000-2002. I even ran online leagues with stats, drafts, and trading – the whole nine yards! But I haven’t played it in a long time. So, I got this NBA Live 19, and I wanted to know if it’s cross-platform. You know, can you play with your friends who are on different consoles?
First, I just started up the game on my Xbox One. I wanted to find some info about the controls, ’cause things have changed since the last time I played. I found a guide online that had all the control information for both PlayStation 4 and Xbox One gamepads. That was pretty helpful. It told me about all the new gameplay innovations, like this “Real Player Motion” thing they added. Sounds fancy, right?

Then, I dug around a bit more. I came across some common questions people were asking about the game. There were, like, 11 questions and a few answers specifically about NBA Live 19. Some were about cheats and tips, which, honestly, brought back memories of trying to find all the secret codes back in the day.
- I saw some mentions of achievements, like getting an award for a “Triple Double.” That got me a little excited to try and unlock some of those.
- I found out that the game was released on September 7, 2018. That’s a bit of trivia for you.
I also looked up some details about the game itself. Apparently, it’s the 22nd installment in the NBA Live series, made by EA Tiburon and published by EA Sports. That’s a long history of basketball games!
Now, back to my main question: is it cross-platform? I couldn’t find a direct answer in the game’s menus or anything. So, I went online again and checked out some forums and stuff. I found some places talking about it but no clear yes or no.
I even looked at a store listing, thinking maybe it would say something there. It had some details, like “The One Edition” for Xbox One, and mentioned “Last-Minute Savings” and “Get gifts fast.” But still, nothing about cross-platform play.
So, after all that searching and playing around, I still don’t have a definite answer. It seems like NBA Live 19 might not be cross-platform, but I’m not 100% sure. Maybe one of you guys knows more about this? It’s a bit of a bummer if it’s not, ’cause it would be cool to play with friends on different systems.
I guess my next step is to maybe try and contact the game studio directly. There was a mention of a page where you could get help from them, so I might give that a shot. But for now, the mystery of NBA Live 19’s cross-platform capabilities remains unsolved. At least for me!
