NBA Live 13 a $20 Digital Release This October?

Remember the last time a company charged $20 for a competitive product? Oh yeah I forgot, that game was GREAT FOOTBALL GAME. Give it up EA, you are a fail at Basketball.

My point is they did not start working on Live 13 in 09. Think, ppl...

So they were working on Life 13 in 09, eh? U should learn to read and comprehend...

Nobody said they were working on Live 13 since 09. The point is they've had three years to put together a decent basketball game and they haven't. All they have to show for those three years is a cancelled effort and a download only title that's going to basically be a $20 dollar beta for whenever they're next NBA game drops if there even is a next one.

If you're going to try to call somebody out on reading comprehension you should maybe practice a little yourself first.

ppl call it leaked footage.....10 minutes of leaked footage that was active on xbox live as friends was signing into xbox live notifications were popping up......
not buying that EA that was a way to get the public to see what u got and get reactions to nba live 13.....its safe to label a game Leaked footage so u can reply and put a rubber stamp on it calling it pre-alpha

i was really wishing u guys well but it is not looking good from where am sitting with nba live 13....

gone is the name ELITE as the name was tarnished by failure
now the title LIVE is taking some punches to the gut bringing bad memories and leaving a better taste in many ppl's mouths

My only question is can 2K please get the ESPN license and the NCAA rights?

Sent from my Galaxy Nexus

I'm sure 2K can take legal action.
These are how many years of not releasing either game but they want to hoarde exclusive rights? On what grounds? Something binding back when they were releasing games?

If you had been keeping up with Live 13 on EA's site you could tell something was up. They didn't have much content to talk about which made me think it was going to be a basic game maybe a quick play mode, season mode, (maybe) a franchise mode, and a playoff mode. While I believe they are losing more and more ground to 2k it's a smart idea to keep you thinking about Live.

As far as all the negative comments, while you are completely entitled to your opinion realize this if they would have dropped the same game for $60 you would have blew your tops and said "I don't see paying $60 for this crap!" And we would have had to hear this for two months after the release. At the least they are trying to stay relevant. I honestly want to see what the game has to offer before I throw them under the bus.

no... y would anyone waste $20 on garbage... id rather buy a cod map pack .. instead of ea cancelling this trash like it should be they still price ... always looking for ways to get money knowing they product is garbage

They're not trying to stay relevant, they're trying to keep the NBA's boot out of they're *** by avoiding another cancel. If Elite hadn't gotten cancelled already, I'd bet money that this title would get scrapped this year.

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

Sounds good to me! I get the game so many people said would never be released at a cheap price and with still time to improve from whenever that vid was made...They will build off this one with the fan feedback and come out with a full title next year. Atleast this one will have the live gameplay I like and functional online.

You guys get the competition you have been crying about and the chance to keep writing negative stuff about live! Win win

Still time to improve? LOL. They will build off this one with the fan feedback? Yeah, cause they've been doing such a bang up job with implementing what the fans want all these YEARS. Yeah, that's plural. Years.

EA would have saved a bit more face had this decision been made on the announcement of the game. However this decision has been made purely & simply because the game is not good enough. No way could EA cancel another basketball game but by selling it at a reduced price the inevitable criticism will at least be dampened slightly.

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

So basically $20 for a beta. All this information coming out and we still can't get any kind of confirmation directly from these guys?

[Sirlonius]

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

Yes still time to improve....Has 2k stopped working on their game too with more than month to go?

Bottom line there is a live game coming out. Don't buy it if you dont like it.

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

LOL at Live/Elite EVER being competition for 2K, especially not in the foreseeable future with Live 13/Elite 1.5, especially not with the next generation of consoles right around the corner. Maybe they'll be competitive on the next gen, but I doubt it, they said they same thing about this gen. Fool me once shame on you, fool me 2, 3, 4, 5, 6 times I'm a dumb MF'er.
