NBA Live Committed to Consoles - Shipping in 2017, But the Focus Will Be on Mobile

[Gosens6]

Damn, Live. By the time this game releases on consoles, everyone will be knee deep in 2K.

Maybe a slashed/reduced price will help drive sales, but I don't see this turning out too well for EA Sports.

A year stop it never mattered. In each business area.
What produced a year stop after Nba Elite 11? The disaster: no Nba Live 12 and even cancellation of Nba Live 14. Every time it's the same story.
The problem is that they dont want to change the way they work. It's clear that it takes a complete reboulding the way they are working, but seem too proud to do it.
It is even more incredibile that they dont realize, in the year of building the Nba Live product, which is much lower even compared to an Nba 2 k 8.
How can they not realizing it while they are working on it?

Damn I really miss the old PS2 sports gaming days, never did I think the sports video gaming world would be so blah in the year 2016.

Back on subject I cant say im surprised, just getting tired of Ea as a company at this point, they dont have the same golden touch they had from two console generations ago.

With the game releasing in early 2017 I can't see it being Sim. I may be wrong but releasing a game in that time frame would be perfect for an arcade style game.

Jesus Bynum...

Live 16 isn't terrible, If your truly committed to consoles how about an olive branch...patch update dynasty mode and some new game play animations with updated rosters for live 16 in Nov for like 9.99 for those who purchased Live 16. Give us a taste of what to expect. The demo for live 16 with pro-am was definitely the right direction, you won me over because i played the demo continuously all year every time there was an update and i could feel the difference.

P.s. no more letters please.

Good Luck.

Nah. Never considering a purchase in the future.

It's smart to take your development time but nothing in that statement tells me that EA, the actual company, is going to support the developers.

If any of those guys are reading this - doubt they are - I know the industry is tough but don't do it to yourselves. You'll spend months being unsupported by the big company and you'll release a title you're proud of because you put thousands of hours into it each, but the product will be poor, it won't match up against 2K (it's warts and all) and you'll feel like crap when you see the reviews.

Save yourselves the individual suffering and find peace in leaving the company that doesn't care about you.

This series was done but now it's non existent, literally. Good bye Live.

I was looking forward to seeing how much progress Live has made at E3,i doubt they'll be any useful information about the console version.
