EA only cares about money smh. Wow they really still used a one year gaming cycle when they had two-threes off. This is why EA sports don't get my money they do not care smh.

All I know is if EA doesn't deliver, they will be in a deeper hole and should have a half episode of c'mon son dedicated to them. If 2k can't deliver,
they deserve the other half. I hope Live can come back this year and I hope 2k is listening too. Everything I've seen so far on EA's focus for this years game are the things that 2k does better than them (presentation, game play)
and the things 2k still falters in...(online) Either way I'm optimistic.

In you all's opinion, what do you feel MLB The Show is doing with regards to their consistency in bringing out a quality product year after year...

What things should EA take into consideration to move in that right direction...

Sarcastic or smart remarks please keep to yourself, grown men answer definitively and I don't have time for foolishness...

Secondly, I'm noticing a lot in photo shots as well as dev videos, it seems as if the 360 is getting all the pre game build exposure rather than the PS3, any insights on this?

Of course I was. 2-3 years dev time would be absolutely huge for a b-ball game. Thats similar to what games like Uncharted and Gears get. To hear that they spent most of that in limbo is an enormous buzzkill.

Well if you were expecting 2-3 years of dev time then okay, that's understandable.. I've been on these forums for years now and one thing I've learned is to never get my hopes up.

It's okay to have expectations but to save your sanity its better to take a wait and see approach especially this early in the game lol! That way you can be excited about something concrete.

Ehh I know you weren't asking for advice or viewpoint but hey that's something I used to cope with both EA and 2K. Keeps things even for me at least..

All the hype i had for this game is deflated after this article..
They have to show some impressive game-play, and by impressive i mean solid fundamental basketball

LOL, if you think the game was underdevelopment 2-3 years. The first people involved with live 13 were put together Jan 2011 4 in total, they then spent months dissecting NBA Elite and previously Live games you have to remember this is a completely new team to creating a basketball game, EA at most only had a year and a half of trying to put something together to compete with 2k which already has a solid core to build upon. I would love NBA Live to come out with something solid but you also have to live in reality and now the facts.

I guess since everyone else is ripping EA a new one after their article. I'd like to give my thoughts on what I read.

Spending two years, salvaging pieces of Elite 11, was a bad decision! It was a bad game overall. Why not just salvage and build off NBA Live 10, in which for the most part, and excellent Live game.

We hated the controls as a whole of Elite 11, I thought they got the menu...why build off that crap!

Three years or 2.5 years should have been building off Live 10 and moving forward in the visuals, animations, and modes.

Sadly enough as a fan of the series, I welcome them back, but if it falls short...I will say EA won't get my money anymore.

Also they need to bring some news on NCAA BB Series too, one thing that kept Live in perspective and also held people's interest was it's College Counterpart, the same as Madden and NCAA...They live and breathe together!

Also chipping away Mark Jackson and not replacing him with a third commentator was a big mistake. 3-Man commentary is the new thing, that should have been kept! It's a part of NBA Basketball and let's hope we finally get some sideline commentary.

Commentary can be done in a 4 month cycle, they have plenty of time to revamp that before Octobers release....Let's hope they are listening.

Overall I can't wait for the series to return and can't wait to get some in game images.

Welcome back Live series!!!

I believe NBA Live 13 will be a solid game this year but it won't be able to compete with NBA 2K13 sales wise considering this is their 1st year back. In 2013 the real competition should begin with the 2014 titles of both games.

Re: NBA Live 13 Features Full ESPN Branding, Focusing on Gameplay, Presentation & Onl

I never thought I would say this... but 2k made me do this. Let's go EA ! I'm pumped for this one. I hope they learned from their mistakes regarding NBA Delete 11. And yessir for Mike Breen!



Bang!

Listened to the show - Still balancing between calm hope and skepticism, regarding Live 13. I liked what I heard about Madden. I agreed with Czar and in relation to the larger staff for both Madden and Live, I can only hope that Live can implement a lot in a "1 yr dev cycle" if the blue prints were laid out well in all that pre-production time. Not looking for Live to blow away NBA2K by any stretch of the imagination but I am looking for a great foundation to build on for Live 14, which most likely be a next gen game...

And now that I say that, MAYBE a good chunk of the setup time has been about - Next gen. That time will be here up very soon, my ppl!
