Perhaps you've never worked for a corporation who swears by compliance and strict conduct codes but

Unless you just want to believe this or are gullable, what else is he going to say when his boss' just released a public statement saying its old?

If its so old, tell Scott and his buddies to release us a current video TODAY

I doubt they'll release the video but here I agree with you and everyone else bringing this up. EA has to say its old.

This whole NBA Live thing has been nothing but a complete mess. As a former Live supporter....meaning I defending the series to no end, It took 2K11 to make me realize that there was a better product to play.

I am completely devastated by the footage I saw today. I'm almost in complete denial that this can't be what I've waited two years to see. Then again, I'm in complete denial that 2K13 can't possibly be as good as it looks. Thank you 2K for keeping basketball as authentic as possible.

This stunt reeks of an intentional leak on EA's part to judge how people react.

If people like the video? Great!

If everyone agrees that it sucks? Oh, it was a pre-alpha build! Don't worry!

It's a low-risk way of finding out how people feel before they make a big investment with the game.

Don't get why anyone had much expectation for Nba Live to begin with? Maybe it's like like a nostalgia thing, they think it's the year 1995 or something lol? Competition is always good but this game has always been hype n gimmicks over quality gameplay.

But I miss Nba Live because it kept all the cheesers / noobs / arcade / 'shoe color matters more than gameplay' ballers in one place.

I've thought about this with the caveat they want a poor reception to wow people later with an amazing build.

But that was just CMH being hopeful that we would have two solid options.

Low risk? You have got to be kidding me.

No one likes this footage, even if it's from 6 months ago, it's horrible. Why would they want bad publicity, 1 month before the release of the game. NO ONE, really no one wants a bad start. Especially after 2 years of no NBA Live. After 2 years of hard work and a lot of money spent. Do you think the management/CEO's of EA Sports would agree with this kind of strategy? No, of course not.

Get off on the right foot, you can't afford any bad publicity. Of course it sounds good, show something bad, then convince the audience with amazing footage but that's not how the market works or thinks. The bad publicity has its effect on a certain type of audience, maybe people who don't visit game/basketball forums at all. They already made up their mind "Nba Live-ea sports" suck, lets get 2K. They don't want this game.

If EA is that stupid they could and should have killed the project months ago.
