NBA Live 19 Executive Producer, Seann Grady, has posted a new NBA Live 19 blog, going over Live Run (introducing some new changes), Hype (redesigned to be more visual, more celebrated, and more rewarding), 5v5 competitive play and much more. The 5v5 Pro-Am games will feature 5 minute quarters and fouls. Make sure to read the blog and get ready for the NBA Live 19 demo launching later tonight.

Maybe not too surprisingly, when we introduced 3v3 in Live 18 we saw a lot of Live Run players move over to this mode. This made us stop and think about how we want to differentiate these two experiences inside of Live Run. Rather than it just being about the number of players on the court, we decided, let’s really create two distinct ways to play for our fans. While 3v3 is a quicker experience that is a bit more grounded in traditional streetball or pickup ball, we’ve decided to lean into the community feedback and make 5v5 a more competitive, traditional Pro-Am experience, with full five-minute quarters and fouls.
