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

no what it means is they seen the competition and they are not even close to what 2k has...and we could go back from day one with 2k when it first came out! and still!...FAIL!...But heres to hoping they can get it straight,cuz competition is a good thing...but for 20 bucks! I'd take a look.

[ccoaxum]

ok "ghm125" i agree with your saying. An from my standpoint from this, is that even tho 2k was 19.99 for different gen..some of us still bought the game when other games cost alot more. I'm not going to lie i thought 2k game was going to suck when saw that it was just 19.99 and at the time i didn't no nothing about it. So with that mindset from back then..to now why can't i do the samething for EA(like for get about the past)? if you ask me $60 dollars for any game is too much, alot of ppl don't even have a job and they want us to pay 60 dollars for a game that we don't even know if we going to like, rather not it has too many bugs in it, it might be a game that once you play for a few days and then you can't do anything with it. so i think 60 dollars for any game is crazy...yes i do buy certain games for 60 dollars still but thats because i'm just a gamer and thats one of my hobbies. but some games i just wait until price for it goes down. so 20 dollars for any game is ok to me and to me its a steal for this type of gen

Responses in bold.

I warned you not to compare this to 2K in 04. It's a TOTALLY different motivation and you know it. Both 2K games were FULL featured quality games that in MANY instances beat their EA counterparts critically. The ONLY reason they did that strategy was to make people take notice of the games. It's not that I'm assuming the worse because it's the worse. I'm assuming the most LIKELY case given the circumstances. ANY logical and objective person, knowing what little they do know, would be left with this being the likely situation. Of course, you won't see it from a more objective perspective.

Come on man. I'm speaking 15 year FIGURATIVELY! But since you're talking specifically, I'll bet that you did still buy Live all the way through Live 10. You've even said you played Live 07-10 if I'm not mistaken. And there you go again with veiled critiques of 2K. But I'm not going to touch that.

How are criticisms of a Live 13 video "ignorant"!? The video is right in everyone's face! Who cares if players slide? No one really as long as they don't slide TOO much. Apparently, that limit has been reached for many people. You say it was "rough around the edges". That's like saying a "skunk has a weird smell". It's that PRECISE choice of baby-glove wording that exposes you. I'm not projecting anything on you. I just want you - a vocal member of the community that has the games interest at heart - to be able to call a spade a spade. EA can't fix HUGE issues if people aren't honest about how huge they are. And that video showed MAJOR issues. That much is clear. It may be OK with you, but YOUR game is not just trying to sell to YOU and you and your clones alone. You know there aren't that many of you. At some point, look pass what you find acceptable and let others have their say.

Finally: "I am sure I will be happy with Live no matter what". Are you friggin' KIDDING me?! Really?! You're THAT committed huh? I've said it before and I'll say it again...

Wow.

Yes, it IS f'ing crazy that someone is that naive and gullible to believe ANYTHING from ANYONE sight unseen. Dude, that whole last paragraph is just full of friggin' crazy. At least you admit it. So, much respect, man.

Re: NBA Live 13 A $20 Digital Release this October?

Now I'm sure Boilerbuzz is going to come back at me and say I'm being ignorant because I supposedly ignored all issues of the pre-alpha footage and shrugged them off, even though I didn't.

No. But to say someone is ignorant because they are using the "early" build as a frame a reference, is WAY off base. You're going to the extreme opposite and telling people they should just completely ignore all they saw. That's not ignorant. It's naive or irresponsible at best. You'd have to be an idiot to not use that as SOME basis for an opinion even if it's an extrapolation. Like or not, the final product will LIKELY look a LOT like that video. But I know you are OK with that.

smdh lmao omg......

Dude, can you correct that a little so that it's easier to read, please? I tried reading it because I'm interested in you view, but I couldn't get through half of it.

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

The only difference is, ESPN NFL 2k5 came out for $19.99 when a new retail games cost $49.99. Live 13 is coming out for 19.99 when a new retail games cost $59.99.

So this is actually a better deal than ESPN NFL 2k5. 2k you were getting for 40% of the original price and Live your getting for a third or 33% of the original price.

Can we really complain? Especially when you don't "have" to buy the game.

Typical. You COMPLETELY missed his point.

[ccoaxum]

man if you can't understand that then i'm srrry..wat world are you from when you dont know what omg(o my god,smdh-shaking my damn head,lmao-laughing my *** off..if)? smdh lol sorry if this was too much for some poeple but i did try hahahahaaa(o i guess you don't understand that either huh)

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

they don't look like they know a good game if it slapped them in the face...

OK. So what exactly should they look like? This?



Is that what gamers are supposed to look like?

[ccoaxum]

lol if you had a pic of a nerd i might have just said yes...but your close tho lmao

[ccoaxum]

Get back on the topic please.

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

I was really hoping & still hope Live gets turned around. There has to be competition for the games to evolve. Look at how slow football game evolution has been! Plus I like having choices. Maybe you just like the feel of a game even if it's slightly inferior. I remember in the 90's having Live, Nba Shootout, & In the Zone. Each game brought something to the table. Hopefully , next year they produce & good game & maybe , just maybe this year's game isn't a complete flop.

Oh lord. Objective to you means to bash EA. It's simple really. That's all you're proving at this point. If people don't agree with your opinion, they aren't being objective obviously. Or am I mistaken and you actually work for EA and aware of exactly why they make their every move? If that's the case then I apologize for ever doubting you and I will listen to everything you have to say regarding WHY EA is doing what they are doing. Just let me know.

Come on man. I'm speaking 15 year FIGURATIVELY! But since you're talking specifically, I'll bet that you did still buy Live all the way through Live 10. You've even said you played Live 07-10 if I'm not mistaken. And there you go again with veiled critiques of 2K. But I'm not going to touch that.

Veiled critiques? Whatever you say man. I did not buy Live all the way through either. For many years I played 2K and did not even think about Live at all. That's just for the record. Only in 2010 did I buy 2 NBA games that year, and maybe 2003 if I recall.

How are criticisms of a Live 13 video "ignorant"!? The video is right in everyone's face! Who cares if players slide? No one really as long as they don't slide TOO much. Apparently, that limit has been reached for many people. You say it was "rough around the edges". That's like saying a "skunk has a weird smell".

At some point, look pass what you find acceptable and let others have their say.

Again, you are so far off here that it's just laughable really. Huge issues in that video? Wow indeed. You and I clearly aren't watching the same video. And once again you are doing nothing but trying to push your opinion and the "majority opinion" as fact, which is a joke. The only "huge issue" I saw in that pre-alpha footage was the AI teammates turning and running back down the court before someone even took a shot. That was the biggest problem. That's the only "huge issue" I saw. And you know what? That's probably fixed by now. Other than that there was no "huge issues" to be found in that video IMO.

Finally: "I am sure I will be happy with Live no matter what". Are you friggin' KIDDING me?! Really?! You're THAT committed huh? I've said it before and I'll say it again...

THAT "committed"??? Committed to what exactly??? EA??? Not quite. I just know that I will be happy no matter what. I've played games since the Atari 2600, I do NOT take ANY games for granted. I play and enjoy tons of games. Even games that people claim sucked or weren't good, I enjoyed them. I know I will enjoy it. What's so crazy about that? I know that I personally can always find redeeming qualities in games. I'm 100% positive that Live 13 will have some of those redeeming qualities to me, because every single game before Live 13 has had them. So again, unless EA decided to replace the graphics with a kindergartener's drawing, or something crazy, I KNOW I will have fun with the game. I'm not that hard to please.

Wow.

Yes, it IS f'ing crazy that someone is that naive and gullible to believe ANYTHING from ANYONE sight unseen. Dude, that whole last paragraph is just full of friggin' crazy. At least you admit it. So, much respect, man.

Naive? Gullible? Give me a break. Yeah, it's so naive to think a GAMING COMPANY that produces GAMES will produce a GAME that I expect to HAVE FUN WITH. So crazy. You're right. I should expect all games to naturally suck unless I get conclusive video evidence of the contrary.

Dude, you are so far off it's not even funny at this point. How you continue to draw crazy conclusions from what I post is amazing to me. I don't know why but I'm going to try and respond to this mess. Consider it an act of boredom. Responses in bold.

No. But to say someone is ignorant because they are using the "early" build as a frame a reference, is WAY off base. You're going to the extreme opposite and telling people they should just completely ignore all they saw. That's not ignorant. It's naive or irresponsible at best. You'd have to be an idiot to not use that as SOME basis for an opinion even if it's an extrapolation. Like or not, the final product will LIKELY look a LOT like that video. But I know you are OK with that.

I said it is somewhat ignorant to use an early build, in this case most likely a pre-alpha build, to base your decision of purchasing a game on. It's reckless. And I'm CLEARLY not going to the extreme opposite. I'm just trying to tell people to take what they saw in that video with a huge grain of salt. The EA rep came out and said it was pre-alpha, what more do you need?! Pre-alpha. Pre-freaking-alpha. Old build. Whatever you want to call it, the point still stands. Basing your purchase of a game on pre-alpha software is not the best way to decide which game is for you. At LEAST wait until EA does a proper presentation of information from a recent build or the retail build before you judge. For all we know the game could look drastically different.
