Re: NBA Live 13 Preview

Where did you get this information from?

There was a article posted awhile weeks ago.

I'll get NBA Live 14

Won't get Live at all 2k13, and 14

[videlsports]

Very Satisfied with the Truth of this early review, but it's early, But 2 years is enough i thought. Plus I never did like the models on live"s players.

They need to steal 2k's animation tech

i know right!

Even though NBA Live 13 is still in it's ealy stages i'm glad EA Sports wants to make great strides with NBA Live's comeback this year & I hope the NBA Live dev team will address these issues before the game is shipped.

Disappointing is all I can say. Im not a live fan but the more (good) games we have to choose from the better. I never question anyones work ethic or drive but 2 years to work on things I would have figured them to be leaps and bounds over any of its previous lives. The pics look devent I guess faces look on point somewhat but the body types and hunchback stances combined with the weird animations is what plagued this franchise for years. If anything I figured they would definitely fix those things and have new nagging problems which I would have accepted but to have these issues reoccur it shows why this title has been forced into dormancy in the first place

Looks like it might be another year of Robotball.

I feel that even though they had extra development time, the goal was still to make a widely accessible, pick-up-and-play type game, and that's why EA lags behind in the gameplay department. Say what you will about 2k, but their game has a lot of nuance and style, personality even. EA's game feels a tad lifeless, very techie and choppy. Maybe it's the animations, I don't know. But I was really looking forward to a nice rebound from them.

Things could get very interesting when and if they drop the demo

I think EA is heading in the right direction here, but doesn't it seem like we have heard this all before (NBA Elite).

Wonder what the odds are they end up cancelling this game yet again?

Re: NBA Live 13 Preview

EVERYBODY chill out they got this and after looking at 2k their fans are not very satisfied either

[Quickhandz]

I THINK WE ALL SHOULD JUST KEEP QUIET AND IGNORE LIVE13 !!!! and just wait for the demo we should stop giving live 13 attention. October will decide if they want to be stupid and bring out a half arsed game it's their fault if they don't sell.
IF LIVE13 IS GOOD I'LL PURCHASE BUT FOR NOW I'LL JUST BE PATIENT AND QUIET

[Quickhandz]

OH YEA AND THOSE SAYING ITS EARLY BUILD GET THAT OUT YOUR HEADS!! WHAT IT IS NOW IS WHAT IS GOING TO BE RELEASED IN OCTOBER, there is not enough time for any brush ups ONLY 4 months left.
AND 2K13 AT E3 IS GOING TO BE THE SAME IN OCTOBER

[Quickhandz]

I JUST DON'T UNDERSTAND WHY THEY DON'T USE THE FIFA engine, OR FIGHT NIGHT ENGINE???
EVEN NBA HOMECOURT HAD SMOOTH ANIMATIONS
SOMEONE NEEDS TO SIT THE DEVELOPERS DOWN AND HAVE A LONG TALK WITH THEM
WHAT WAS THE WHOLE POINT OF the ADVISORY COUNCIL

I guess you'll be okay with this, a lot of other won't though, myself included.

From what I've gathered from the initial impressions, let's be honest here. The game may be only 60% complete, but perhaps aside from a little cosmetic touch up, I highly doubt if much will be changed in terms of gameplay and animation within the next 4 months leading to the game's release. Even though I haven't touched an NBA Live game since Live 04, I was really hoping EA would come out swinging given the presumably 2 years of development time. It seems to me that this game has even taken a step backwards from what the last proper Live ('10) offered. No progression whatsoever. Apparantly the base has been laid for the franchise moving forward. So EA may want to consider taking another year off after this release and dedicated development solely to polishing - nothing more, or things may be going downhill quickly for the future of the franchise. Granted, I'm not much of a Live fan, and this is even disappointing to me. I can only imagine what its true fanbase is feeling upon seeing this.
