NBA Live 13 a $20 Digital Release This October?

[TripleCCC716]

I was going to buy this if it had Ultimate Team but now at $20 I doubt it will. But for that price I may get it because I usually don't buy basketball games and it would be nice to have one.

What a disaster.... 2 years of development and all they can come up with is a digital release. I am glad I am not an investor.... Sad day...

LOL at some of these negative responses. I swear the internet is mostly negative people. Anyway, as I said in the other thread, I'm thrilled that I only have to pay $20 to play an NBA game this year, that's pretty sweet. I'm also excited about playing the game and giving EA as much feedback as I possibly can. I hope it sells well and next year we get the full AAA title.

good luck lol

While this is really appalling, I am yet not mad at this. Mad because I can't believe fumbled the ball this badly on this series, again, even after having more than plenty of time to get a decent game together which I was looking forward to, and this signals another year of no comp for NBA2K (I like comp) PLUS Live 10 was really on to something (wtf, EA??).

Now, why I'm not mad? NBA2K WILL HAVE ANALOG DRIBBLING ALA A SEEMINGLY LIVE 10 AND NBA 2K SHOT STICK!!!! All I ever wanted was the switch over to analog dribbling so now I won't mind the shot stick that uses a trigger. Brilliant marriage of the two plus just adding analog to the rest of what NBA2K is is just a thing of beauty. Iso-motion really, truly sucks. Killed the game for me. It's now ALIVE, IT'S, UHH, A-LIVE!! Heh....

Oh, and EA, you guys better have a decent enough DLC game that will lead to a MIND BLOWING Live 14. I don't know if u can have anything less after this debacle and NBA2K picking up even more steam...


Oh, and there better be a demo for this DLC cuz I don't usually part ways with dough for DLC. Hmph....

For the guys that are saying ohhh 20 dollars for a basketball game! Must get!


No lol this is not a basketball game fellas.



This was a very long experiment

Re: Confirmed: NBA Live 13 will drop this October

The difference is that back in 2005, 2K's titles were quality games sold for low price, and not some experiment-product like EA's. Now you have a game that is sold for low price because it's just not worth it. I don't believe it'll sell well either way.

I agree. I'm just saying that, if a game is slapped with a $20 price tag, it's not automatically inferior.

Unfortunately, this is more than likely the case for Live.

Im actually surprised they going only digital, although it does make the most business decision. I just hope that this doesn't mean they are giving up on basketball and not releasing 14 with full power and wanting to take the reign back.

I wish will all my hear that PES realese next year a great football game and EA Fifa franchine suffers from same problem. Maybe this can be a lesson at last

Lol at the dude having a back and forth with HHG with all the tweets to pornstars on his twitter feed. 2k is more of the same HHG says.

Re: NBA Live 13 a $20 Digital Release This October?

Going from making a comeback to being a $20 digital download really means they've give up this year. This game will probably be riddled with bugs.

Very disappointing news. EA's headquarters can not be happy with Tiburon.

Indeed. EA's stock hasn't been looking too good from what I've heard.

I wish with all my heart that PES release next year a great football game and EA Fifa franchise suffers from same problem as NBA Live. Maybe this can be a lesson at last for EA Sport

Sure, why wouldn't they? I can provide a lot of valuable feedback. I'm a great analytical person but I also appreciate what goes into making a game, and I can understand the "big picture" of gaming and what to expect in a basketball game. Why wouldn't they listen? I've already messaged the EA community manager and I expect to message him plenty of hands-on feedback once I have played the game for awhile. It will then be in their hands whether or not they listen, but if the feedback is valuable, I imagine they will listen.

ok then wat they was duin in TWO YEARS absolutely NUFFIN

[fitzgerald434]

I dont mind EA trying to get feedback from people but now that I think about it why not just delay the game until next year instead of having us pay 20 dollars for a game that only had under a year to be developed.
