Well that sucks was hoping they atleast came with something positive to the table.

Derek Fisher should not have an 85 defensive recovery rating

Synergy, like anything other stat metric, shouldn't be the end all-be all for ratings - esp on defense. Many things that require context are left out - i.e. sefolosha's defense got worse over the last week according to Synergy, but he was switched to guard Parker which is a more difficult assignment than a normal wing he has to guard.



Utlimately for Live / 2k for me it looks like it'll be a catch 22:

If you want great gameplay, but horrible online experience (dropped games, repeated server outages, lack of features, lack of control) - 2k13

If you want great online experience, but horrible gameplay (see OP) - Live 13




I really hope sooner or later they incorporate the RTP similar to what you've seen in Madden and Fifa

My problem with this is its been two years, why is the game this buggy when you've been developing it for two years? I mean why didn't you just release elite and elite 12 if you couldn't fix the game. I don't want to hear "its a early build", they were givin so much time and this is what they present is pathetic.

The fact is is has not been 2 years of developement, they had to rebuild the team for this game, dissect Elite and past live that all took time, unfortunately it seems like in the end they ran out of time.

I am Disappointed. I was expecting something new and fresh with a two year dev period. Not necessarily the best, but just fresh and not broken this far in.

I guess I can't be to shocked, I mean they did have an article on Kotaku stating don't look at this game as being on a 2 year dev cycle but more of a regular 1 year cycle...EA seems to be in it just for the money not the love for the sport, they seem to not give 2 sh*ts about the game of basketball. That's how I am feeling after this preview but hopefully I am completely wrong and they pull out a well respectable product but when you show people a half-*** build at E3 it's almost a slap in the face.

Ran out of time? After skipping a year?

Come on.
