Honest question. I really don't mean to be rude or a troll or anything.

...do you really think EA will listen to you?

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.

If I didn't have 1600+ unused MS points just sitting on my XBL account I sure as hell wouldn't spend my money on buying them to get a demo, which is pretty much what this is, a 20$ demo.

So after 2 years they are releasing a game for $20 and it's only downloadable? SMH. How is it after all this time to come up with quality, you still aren't ready for prime time?

This can't be good in regards to their relationship with the NBA. Also they are just wasting the ESPN license(in regards to basketball). All I know is they still better have a demo.

this game will get no support from EA after release and EA is just trying to milk some money from consumers instead of canceling again. 2.5 years and they can only release a xbl arcade game SMFH
That garbage leaked video will be the final version of the game. Might as well play nba live 95
I PRAY THE NFL WONT RENEW THEIR CONTRACT WITH EA

....

Any word on there being a demo?

If there's not a demo...I won't be touching this game in any way, shape, or form. If I want to play an EA basketball game I'll go play NBA Jam.

That is the demo...

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.

Not my buddies. They have minds of their own.
You have the right to feel the way you want to.

I'm just calling it how I see it.

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.

This game wont do Facebreaker numbers.... which was a combined 52k. The suits will see the huge disparity in sales between this and 2k13, and its all over.

XBL Arcade games have trial versions, so you can try before you buy.

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

I am not shocked. I will also say that almost 3 years of work for a DL title is a terrible move on EA's part. Lastly I will put money on the fact that what we saw in the video is actual gameplay.

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

It looks like NBA Live 13 is coming out as a digital release after all and not a full on $60 AAA title if the report from IRB Gamer today is to be believed. This seems a pretty big admission that Live simply isn't ready for prime-time obviously, which also obviously seems to be the case. What a mess.

IRB Gamer has the scoop:


What do you guys think? Smart decision by EA? Does this mean Live isn't up to par quality wise?

Sound off!

Can I say that I'm not surprised....its just funny to me

Most arcade games have the "Free Trial" option. This one will probably let you play as the Heat and/or Thunder.

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

I have never paid $20 for any arcade title on Xbox Live, $15 max with add-on content later.

How does EA justify charging $5 more than the maximum for a work in progress that isn't even on disc?

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

They would have been better off just updating the rosters on live 10 and not bothered wasting their time on something they obviously have no clue about. I hope they leave the live 10 servers up because i won't be paying for this pathetic excuse for a game.

Most likely, "pre-alpha" my a**.

That " pre alpha" footage was the final game more than likely
