Re: NBA Live 13 producer explains the new direction of NBA Live

Your problem here is generalizing people as fans of one or the other

It will take far too long to explain this since you dont already understand what has happened over the past few years

This is not a fanboy war site so please take more time to understand whats happening before you start that stuff

Did you see the second post in this thread? haha tell that to him

In general you haven't been here long enough to know noshun and to refer to him as a fanboy... thats exactly what im telling you

There are alot of guys here that invested their time at EA, testing for EA, giving input to EA, getting burned by EA and more who post here, so please take more time to get familiar with throwing out blanket statements

Ok man. I never see Live supporters bash the 2k forums at all as much as 2k supporters for all the problems people list that Live has I can easily make a list of problems that 2K has.

That's because you say anything negative on the NBA2k forum around here, constructive or not and there's hell to pay.

Switching gears to “NBA Live,” after the whole “NBA Elite” debacle, how important is it for EA Sports to get this right with your first game back? Are you in jeopardy of losing basketball consumers forever if it fails?

EA Sports Andrew Wilson stated Here’s the nuance to that: I was part of the “FIFA” rewrite, and while we got most things right the first year out, we didn’t get everything. We got more of it right the second year out, and by the third year, we had a near 90-rated game. So this is a long-term view we have with this. I expect our team to have some pretty cool stuff, and they’re going to get most things right. Are they going to get everything right? Maybe, maybe not. But I think they are going to make great headway. This is not a one-year deal, this is a long-term deal. We want to be in NBA forever, and we’re going to do whatever it takes to make sure we are a proper player in the space.

Which is the same thing they did when they rebooted the NHL Sku with 07, which this year is receiving another major update after kinda coasting the last couple years. They'll get there with Live, it most certainly won't be in the first year I don't think though.

Are you serious 2K fans are the first to point out everything that is wrong with 2k they want the best game possible and don't try to make excuses for the game, there is no blind hero worship on the 2k forum by most.

Elite was supposed to be the first game of an EA basketball rewrite. If they consider Live 13 the first year then they've wasted 2 years.

Im just disappointed that with the time they had off this game has only been in development for 1 cycle. Imagine where it could have been if they were working on it all this time ? Even if they were building off Elite they coulda done some great things these 2 years, but the opportunity was wasted.

So then we're back to the 3 year plan program again is what I take away from that? Here's hoping we at least get to the halfway point this time before that gets thrown out the window for another fresh start.

Is this guy really asking me to wait until Live 15 until they get it right, I gotta be honest I don't think I have that much patience to wait on these guys, Why is everything at EA a three year thing? Didn't they already have that same time period, and before anyone says anything I know this was on a one year cycle, what have they been doing?
