Either way both basketball titles are a rent before purchase for me this year.

Well...OS soley concentrates on sports gaming....

Why would you refuse to show it to one of the biggest sports gaming sites in the world?

Makes no sense unless they think OS can swing someone's opinion into a direction they don't want or get them thinking about flaws they didn't see before that could be a problem later....

Interesting. We don't know the exact list of sites/mags invited? I like IGN and all, but they are apart of the EA hype machine as far as I'm concerned. Every year leading up to release they sell you how great the game looks and feels and voice no concerns about anything they see then act like **** just magically broke down somewhere between their last hands on and release. Not a good look EA. Not a good look.

EA is usually good with hyping games and getting people excited. Its a little strange with them being so silent. Makes you wonder whats wrong.

I think they are being very cautious about the game after the failure of the NBA Elite. I don´t think it will be a good game, but i do expect a decent one.

EA get's so much hate on OS and 2K get's all the love, they probably know that they would be picked apart no matter what they brought to the table, let's face it, people have a deep rooted hate for EA right now to the point their almost blind to anything positive the game may show and will only focus on the negative. They need all the positive word of mouth they can get right now, so I don't blame for not taking it to a place where the pack is ready to pounce.

I hope we can get some info rather quickly...maybe some screens or some gameplay (preferably obviously). I may enjoy the other game but I grew up playing Live and would like to see the franchise come back to its former glory.

Thus far Im being as cautious as EA is with this game. Im hoping for the best or at least a nice foundation to build from (although 7-8 years into this generation I shouldnt be asking for that....)

This shows just much how you know. It is not all Roses in the 2k forum.

Besides that, people SHOULD be highly critical/skeptical of Live just based on what they've put out this generation. Which is GARBAGE with the exception of Live 10.

They've brought it on themselves.
