If NBA Live 13 Doesn't Hit an Oct. 2 Release Date, It's as Good as Failing to Launch

Live 10 is way too outdated to be a game people want... and

WHY AFTER 2 YEARS OFF ARE PEOPLE STILL SAYING THEY'D ACCEPT MEDIOCRITY??

If COD or Halo or any other big title pulled this off you people would bash them so hard it wouldnt make sense.

Don't forget 2K. 2K actively tries to improve their game every year and take the next steps towards greatness and they get bashed endlessly for it. How many people absolutely kill 2K12 as if it's the worst game ever made for the flaws in that game despite the fact that it's STILL a good game, even with those flaws.

Live 10 might be outdated with the rosters online and some 2 man animations but it has a solid foundation of passing, dribbling, shooting and contact in the lane. Plus the overall fun factor and ability to play online still makes it a viable basketball choice.

Pick it up, it's prob only 10 bucks right now and check the forums here for the updated rosters. Plus you can practice your right stick dribbling.....

I played that game enough.. while it is or was fun, its still generic and not without its own flaws

EA has never had a good CAP face maker so they all look like burned puppets, and repackaging that game and trying to sell it for 60 dollars would be ridiculous

It needs far more than just 2 man animations

I don't play those games.

But come on, you know I don't mean rerelease Live 10.

We are talking about using it as a base which is what they should have done instead of making Elite.

At this point its put up or shut up

That is not true. If they release NBA Live 10.5, it is a start. A stepping stone. We don't want amazing, we want substance. :wink:

I see what you are saying in the area of substance, but at the same time there is sort of like an abusive relationship feel to it. In no way am I comparing the development of EA's basketball title to that of a person being abused in a relationship, but you kind of have this sense that because this title has been so awful this generation, we might just embrace it if anything positive is shown.

The problem with that though is NBA 2K has set very high standards. This game is going to get hit hard because of comparisons. Not to mention it got canceled before and looks to be the same again. They have to do something of substantial value. They have to show people that they are very serious about this title and that it is an important game for EA Sports.

Right now all I get from EA is that they feel like having a basketball game in their lineup is a no-brainer for EA Sports. You don't have this feeling that they are passionate about basketball.

I dont remember people complaining this much when Live 2005 released, do you?

The problem with innovation is EA is the only ones that keep saying it but aren't showing anything.

Honestly, get the fundamentals down in across the board before throwing out more buzzwords that keep falling to the ground

Ha! Are you kidding? Lots of people complained, even those using sliders. But there were also a lot of happy fans...

My point is there are always people that are going to be miserable with these games. Unrealistic expectations of "realism" and the such will never go away. Then, there is the group that simply wants to bash a game.

You just can't avoid it.

The thing that makes alot of people unhappy with EA is the fact that they keep doing the same thing over and over again year after year. Every year they take 1 step forward but 3 steps back. They are stuck in a plain of mediocrity but always are the first company to boast about a new amazing sim like feature in their game.

Remember Pro-tak, Fight for the fumble, Headset play calling,Dynamic rosters, Infinity Engine, Gameflow, Total Control Passing etc...

They promise all these features that will make their games Thee sports game to buy but then you get it and you have yourself a failed attempt...year after year.

For 10 years EA still hasnt made a game that leaps over the previous year title. 2k started with 2k10 and are now the undisputed king of basketball gaming. EA makes no significant strides to make their games elite.

IMO EA makes their games just good enough to be satisfactory and hold back on features just so they can include them in their next years game to entice customers to buy their mediocre game yet again.

When i hear "Infinity Realtime Psychics" i think game changer and i buy the game off of that alone. When i hear "Pro-Tak" i buy there game thinking they made strides. But nope just gimmicks to have us hoping year after year that they have gotten their act together but then we all are disappointed.

This happens year after year after year. I used to be a die hard Live buyer but once i tried 2k i never bought a live again. EA really has to tell fans either their games are for the family living room or their focusing on making the most realistic sports game they can.
