NBA Live 13: The Best Kept Secret in the Universe?

Re: NBA Live 13: The Best Kept Secret in the Universe?

If this game doesn't come out I might cry. Not because I want Live, but because competition is healthy. I miss the days when the companies pushed each other to greatness. I'm not saying that 2K would put out a mediocre product, but if Live comes out and is halfway decent then it forces 2K to go above and beyond and vice versa.

Re: NBA Live 13: The Best Kept Secret in the Universe?

Something is telling me there gonna put out some kind of cheaper downloadable game maybe $30 or so just to not have this year be a total bust. Probably the baroness of what they have where you can play a season but not multiple seasons with no title updates just a roster update after the trade deadline.

Im not sure if the NBA would allow them to release the game at a cheaper price. They kind of set a standard for all of that stuff, release date, cost, etc, so EA has little control over cost.

A+ thread. Would read again.

I believe they've been working on this game for three years now so they should've had something for E3 because that a good place to get interest. Best Kept secret? ummm no. It looks like EA is running for cover and looking like me trying to do my final paper the night before its due.

Really an truly i just want the best for EA Sports i don't want to see it fail, emphatically because there are jobs at stake. I also want NBA Live 13 to come out on time and be solid/average, because it will force 2K Sports to not slack on NBA 2K13. And because of all this competition is good!

Should put who killed biggie and 2pac up there. Just sayin.

If you listen to the hip hop gamer he says it's something big EA has planned. So idk, take that and run with it, I guess.

What about the people that were involved with NFL 2k, they had families. It's a dog eat dog world. I want competition as well, but if the live series is cancelled, so be it. It's the video game world we live in.

Also I'm not arguing with your points. I'm just stating that this industry isn't fair, and the consumer doesn't matter just money. I'm not bashing EA or 2k. Because hell 2k, has lost a lot of trust with 2k12.

my fingers are crossed in hoping the NFL doesnt resign with EA. 2k will take that allpro game polish up the graphics and change some aspects and be better than madden

Yeah and if NBA Live fizzles out NBA2k16 will be the same as NBA2k13

They probably are just going to "surprise" everyone with a slew of info next month.

I agree with your statement

Re: NBA Live 13: The Best Kept Secret in the Universe?

I agree...it breaks my heart because EA was my first (lakers vs celtics). And you always remember your first...

lakers vs celtics was the TITLE back then and it was a completely different game. LVC was a breakthrew nba title for its time. LIVE 95 changed everything about LVC.....totally different games

Re: NBA Live 13: The Best Kept Secret in the Universe?

NBA Live 13 is in development and they've had 3 conferences for it for the community which is on a complete NDA(non disclosure agreement)

I know marketing and this game will not come out this year. You need to market any said sports game two months in at least for it to gain another user base of interest which EASports cares more about...NEW CUSTOMERS.

The core us guys I suppose will buy it if it's announced within a week of it being released and will blindly want to get a fix because it's ..well? OUT!

Nowadays though its all face value. NBA 2k not only went with basketball stars but it went ahead and got JayZ in for trying to capture even more... NEW CUSTOMERS

EASports has been rumoring a Lebron Cover and why can't that happen? they got Durant? and Durants a big star just like Lebron is who's actually DROPPED in popularity in the sports world to be honest...

Either way I do not see this coming out this year....

[VUUAASSHHH!]

I agree...it breaks my heart because EA was my first (lakers vs celtics). And you always remember your first...

Hope EA burn in hell for everything they are doing to gaming (VIP Pass, DLCs, shutdown of good franchises, etc)

Re: NBA Live 13: The Best Kept Secret in the Universe?

I don't understand why everyone is egging on Live 13'. In the back of your minds you're wishing it comes out and it's the best NBA sim ever, right? So why this adolescent tactic to finger point and accuse when you know nothing about what is really happening.

Fact 1 - NBA Live 13 will at best will be a legitimate basketball simulation, hopefully with as little frustrating problems as possible.

Fact 2 - NBA Live 13 was never meant to be ground breaking. I know myself and others probably have great ideas as to how the NBA Sim can evolve and become great, but as a company you don't take risks like that when you're trying to catch up with the competition.

Fact 3 - It's a turn based strategy. 2K is up to bat, EA is waiting for them to finish their turn. In a few weeks, once 2K is done spilling the beans, we will have all of our Live 13 information. And trust me when I say it will not be anything spectacular or revolutionary. A new development team and only a year to turn a franchise around, we're back to the basics.

In summation - Stop fooling yourselves, stop getting yourselves riled up, don't play the kid antics of "LIVE IS DOOMED!" "OH NO WHAT HAVE THEY DONE!". Be patient and be optimistic. It's just a game.
