NBA Live 13 Will NOT be Shown Tomorrow, When Will It?

Re: NBA Live 13 Will NOT be Shown Tomorrow, When Will It?

Brilliant marketing by EA. There's absolutely no need to FEED the public right now by giving them any info about Live 13 in early August when the release date is still 2 months away. I'm sure they have an "ace" up their sleeve and when the time is right an announcement will be made. In the meantime, create "buzz" by keeping everyone guessing if or not the game will even be released and what exactly is being hidden.

Reverse marketing at it's finest and the masses are eating it up. This is getting better and better.

Again, THANK YOU EA!!!!

thanks for the laugh.. this thread needed it.

thanks for the laugh.. this thread needed it.

I believe that was sarcasm or I hope it was. Either that or EA just maybe causing a mass delusional episode amongst their fans and staff. This is really starting to feel like the Elite 11 debacle all over again. It's starting to become sad where this once great series is headed.

they aren't creating a buzz, people are just going to switch their focus on NBA 2k, you know the game that didn't have to take a year off because their game sucked donkey d**k.

Re: NBA Live 13 Will NOT be Shown Tomorrow, When Will It?

Ea trying to make sure there is no jesus at half court etc.. type moments that can happen. Last thing they need is a viral video on youtube of some new blunder for live 13.

[LRBTODAY]

EA still has Madden to push and NHL..Once madden is released and they still haven't gave up any info on live then all the talk is warrant. We dont even know much about 2K besides j being the executive producer and guitar hero slam dunk contest. So just take it easy, calm down. I know EA has more on the line maybe that why they not rushing to show the game off yet. Just give them till september.

This is what I was thinking.

You mean 2 months from release and they are not at a beta stage is nothing to talk about.

[cmehustle]

Wow didnt know people still played Live. Or Elite or whatever their calling it now. Seriously I loved live back in the day, but I have absolutely no allegiance to EA or 2K or Activision, Xbox, Playstation. If you want my hard earned dollars you better show me something more than we'll do better next time. So in case anyone was wondering Ill be buying the new 2K this NBA season...again....just like I did the last 7 years.

Re: NBA Live 13 Will NOT be Shown Tomorrow, When Will It?

really tho u only need a month to market a game really.... honestly september will be cutting it close... but really tho i think silence is the best way to market this game. EA should only i mean only market the game when the game is ready 4 the community. Cuz that was that was the mistake ea made wit elite 11 there where hyping a product that clearly wasn't ready to be shown nor released. I believe EA not goin to show nba live 13 till they believe the game is ready to be shown to a community that ready don't believe in them. showing anything least then a soild product is stupid. But in Silence EA got the community attention regradless of the negative feedback it bring. But at the same time Support or haters both want to see NBA LIVE 13. I believe that the silence is a new market stragery. i could be wrong....but idk

lol bro..... wow i guess you dont realize that the game isnt even in a playable beta stage, how in the world will they have time to make it a foundational full retail game??? some it takes about a year to get it in beta stage, and then they can pull a full version out in less two months or less... i'm sorry but that statemant is just hilarious

I agree. Both games haven't show much of anything, so EA said by the end of the summer let's see.

Re: NBA Live 13 Will NOT be Shown Tomorrow, When Will It?

Everyone needs to chill. We aren't buying this game tomorrow.

Live '13 is going to release, in my opinion. If it doesn't, EA is done with basketball on this generation of consoles.

We should be happy that these companies decide to even show us gameplay months before the game releases. If EA was to release a video tomorrow in one world, and released the same video 2 days before release in another world, would it really change your mind on buying or not?

Either way, some people will buy a game on ratings, some will buy it because of the name. I guarantee one person on OS is going to buy Live 13 if it releases and will have an opinion. No need to hit the panic button because personally, it's not important in my life, no game is.

When EA releases some videos or information it will be exciting, but until then, let's just stop speculating about delays or cancellations. When EA says they are canceling, it's done. We can speculate all we want, but it's just going to create frustration among posters.

Everyone is going to have mixed reactions on this game, no matter what. It happens for every game.

What people fail to realize is that EA said they are taking bits out of Elite, which is the physics and building on Live '10. If they can update Live '10 with the physics and better player movement, they could release a passable game.

I hope EA releases information soon because I'm excited to see what the competition is going to be like this year, but I'm not going to lose any sleep over it.

Whatever happens, we'll have a decent game to fall back on in 2k13. It's not like football where if the games bad, we're doomed.

Relax and stay patient. Be happy EA isn't coming out saying they have huge announcements and crazy hype tactics. In my opinion, I'd rather have that than what 2k did with the Jay Z announcement, which has turned out to be a huge let down in my opinion.

EA will release information when they're ready. As for the game not being in a beta state yet, I hardly buy that. Many games are released as betas and have minimal problems. Many sports games are released sort of as a beta, like NCAA Football. Beta is just a term used as "pre-patched" in my opinion and less polished.

What if everyone on this forum is doing the marketing for EA? Hmmm..

Link??

I dont think you are very accurate at all

They just said theyre trying to get into beta... after 2 years thats ridiculous

I dont know if they'll release or not but lets not act like people dont have any reason for concern in any area

Re: NBA Live 13 Will NOT be Shown Tomorrow, When Will It?

And people were laughing when some of us here were ridiculing the fact that the game was 60% complete.


The process of delivering a beta version to the users is called beta release and this is typically the first time that the software is available outside of the organization that developed it.
