[yaboythecib]

what everyone is missing is that nba live 13 was never suppose to nor was goin to compete wit 2k13..nba live 13 was ment & still is a buzz game to get live back on the basketball gaming community radar. it was never goin to compete wit 2k13...i been saying 4 the longest that the real nba live game was goin to be in 2014. live wasn't goin to come out the door and compete. ea didn't even get a full development cycle for live 13. but ea also new that skipping another year would of been foolish tho. drop the game as a dlc somthin fun.
release add on an what not... then put 2gether a full high quality product that will compete. they'll get a full development for next second.. ea put themseve in a positon to compete 4 next season. their nuth they could of done to compete know. 2k is just way way way way to much....

How is this a bad idea?

They're not charging a full price. And if they're serious about garnering feedback from players, isn't this kind of neat that we could have a possiblility of getting a really awesome Live next year?

Wow the game hasnt dropped and youre already mentioning "next year". Give this guy the prize for the magic words of the day... "next year".

Re: Confirmed: NBA Live 13 will drop this October

I seem to remember ESPN NFL 2K5 and ESPN MLB 2K5 being top tier games. At $20 each, they were the two greatest steals I've ever invested in.

I wouldn't say Live is in that same category, but they are simply doing what they have to. If there is any way for them to get back into it, they need to try and get any kind of word-of-mouth they can receive.

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.

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

I'm waiting till we hear official word from EA on this but if it's true.....they have made it real easy for me to stop shelling out money for all their games.....no more madden, no more Fifa, no more NHL......Done! I wrote to Peter Moore after elite went bye bye and asked that they keep support going for Live 10 in the form of roster updates and DLC packs... Well at least we got roster updates for a year....but it's all about ea making money and not hearing the fans opinions.

I have owned every basketball game ever made since the Atari basketball....this might finally be the first one I actually refuse to buy.

Well prepare to add a 3rd game to that list - Live 13! Live 13 will be a huge steal because EA has already guaranteed that all season long they will update their game. That's huge. For $20 to provide that type of support to the game is huge.

I wouldn't say Live is in that same category,

Of course you wouldn't. The great 2K made those 2 games you mentioned, and the evil EA Sports is making Live 13. Because ya know, when 2K releases a game for $20, it's great! But when EA does it, oh my, how shady of them! They're trying to rip people off! The game is unfinished/not worth the full price! LOL!!!

but they are simply doing what they have to. If there is any way for them to get back into it, they need to try and get any kind of word-of-mouth they can receive.

That's one area I can agree with. The word of mouth and $20 price tag will mean huge sales for EA once people realize it's actually a good game. I have no doubt that that will happen too.

It's more of a buzz killler at this point.

I'm "moonwalking" because I'm not overly negative like the rest of you, and can see the bright side of things at all times? Okay. Right on. I'd rather moonwalk all day like the great MJ than have a mindset like you or any of your buddies.

No youre moonwalking because youre runner up in the magic words of the day as well... I underlined them for you

I hope it sells well and next year we get the full AAA title.

LOL at comparing Live 13 to NFL 2K5, the greatest NFL game of all time. NFL 2K5 was a huge steal at $20 because of how great the game was. Live 13 won't be anything more than bad.

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

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.

Funny, but I do remember EA saying "2K this" and "2K that" early on...

I see you still believe in the 3-year cycle thing, eh? In 2014 you'll say "Next year they're going to put a great game". They have already fooled you twice (or maybe 5 times?). We'll see...

[Gramps91]

It's according to how the game is when it's in its final build. If it's at least decent then I'll get it if it goes on sale. Who knows I may even buy it for $20, but not right away. I'm going to wait until some others buy it and see what they say as well as check out gameplay.
I think it's pretty smart actually. I don't know what in the world they've been doing since Live 10, but if they know for sure it's not going to compete with 2k13 they may as well do it like this, and it does offer a chance for fan feedback.
I just don't understand why they didn't stick with the Live 10 engine and just make it better. I had a lot of fun with Live 10. I think 2k11 and 2k12 are quite a bit better but Live 10 wasn't a bad title at all.

So what's your point? I am excited for Live 13 even if it's a $20 game. A little bit of me is excited to know that a AAA title will be coming in the future too. Something wrong with that? I'm still 100% focused on Live 13 and this year. I have no doubts I will be getting a solid game for my $20.
