    Get real....you guys will never win


    Ture, to an extent but most ppl are angry simply for the franchise mode alone. I'm sure most could care about the 3 Point Contest or Dunk Contest but the Superstar moves were heading in the right direction. Now they've scratched all that. What ppl will get is a bare bones game with no incentive to keep playing it after 1 season.

    As for gameplay, given EAs track record, whenever they develop a new engine, they always fumble something up. Live 96 and Live 2001 were uber garbage looking back on it. My assumptions is that EA is working more on graphics this year(since they're playing alot of catchup in that department) and in the continuing years, tweak the gameplay to perfection. Its been the EA way forever now. Hate to be a pessimist about it but all signs are indicating that.

      This is not surprising. Ea is known for their lazyness.

        I don't think anyone is complaining that the 3point contest is gone. A franchise is not a gimmick! Its is gameplay! Franchise is THE MAIN MODE for most people.

          Exactly! We are upset about the lack of the franchise mode. That is the title of the thread isn't it? Should we be jumping for joy that they left one of the main components of a sports title completely out of the game?

              Yeah, every time for the past 6 months on this site I say EA is lazy and make lame to no excuses for the crap they do or DONT do in this case and all I do is get flamed by the EA fanboys. Who knows, maybe NOW they will wake up from the dream and get EA's nuts out of thier mouth. The thing is, I dont know why so many people seem so suprized at EA's lazyness. This is why they were trying so hard to get the NBA license early on this year so they could put out HALF A GAME but no one else could so youd still be forced to buy thier product if you wanted an NBA basketball game. When are people going to wake up, this NBA "Half a Live" is what you were going to get from them this year even if they got the NBA license, they knew they were gonna half-*** thier game this year, they were counting on closing the NBA deal though so youd have no other option for an NBA game this year.

              PEOPLE PLEASE WAKE UP! WHAT MORE OR WHAT ELSE IS IT GOING TO TAKE FOR YOU TO OPEN YOUR EYES? Of course you have those people on this board who are EA fanboys through and through and even when EA does something that even makes THEM raise an eyebrow they arent going to admit they were wrong or they have been blind cuz well..most people wont admit to that..its a pride thing.

                Re: XBOX 360 version no dynasty/franchise mode

                To all of you, are you really surprised?

                When EA put the Dunk Contest in last year's version, everyone raved. No one really noticed that the DC was something that EA already had in Live years back but had removed

                This year when EA put "Superstar" signature moves in, everyone raved. No one mentioned that superstar specific moves were already in the earliest versions of Live and had been removed years back

                EA has never been guilty of being enormously customer-focused. They are profit focused and that is the core of how they operate. I guarantee you that part of the consideration for this year's Live on the 360 was an argument concerning how you deliver a repeat audience for next year. If you deliver too composite a gaming experience in 2006 where do you go from there?

                As I've often maintained, if you are a fan of Wall Street, you love what EA does as a company. If you love gaming you hate them with a passion

                It is that simple

                Have fun................

                  I thought that Live only had the 3 Point Contest in past years..

                    SO True remember what the EA executive said years ago about how they could dominate VC off their reputation alone, something to the effect VC could wrap their $19.99 games in a ham sandwich and EA would still beat the pants off them. VERY ARROGANT COMPANY! They rely off the EA fanboy base to keep them going, they suck! Look at the very MINOR changes they have made to their games over the years, they are the MASTERS of HYPE!

                      when did Live have a dunk contest before?

                      i've played every EA basketball game from lakers vs. celtics and don't remember one.

                        Im searching for the fanboys in this thread now.. are they gonna come out and play? lol. News to the EA fanboys (you know who you are, i dont even have to call you out by name now)..why dont you just admit it now that EA is Lazy. There is no shame in admitting you were a blind sheep led by the sheppard. Swallow your pride and just admit that even YOU have a sour taste in your mouth about Live...come on....its not gonna hurt, i promise. lol

                          I don't remember the dunk contest either. Its so over the top I don't care for it anyway. This mode is very overrated IMO.

                              Yes, yes, this board is so diffrent than the Madden forum. Some of the Madden fans have blinders pulled so far over their eyes, they cant stand the sight of anything non-EA. People in here are pretty much on the same page because the proff has been clearly shown.
