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.

Church! I've been calling for a DLC update to Live 10 for the past 2 years. I'd pay twenty for that before I'd pay twenty for the crap they are throwing at us.

Fanboys ate that "pre-alpha" line up and regurgitated it everywhere.

Smart by EA. Can be a huge pay off. Most people who don't think 60$ is justified for a yearly sports game. 20$ is three times less than the other game and could sway the average buyer who wants a basketball game. If it's a solid game that has a couple of modes and replayablity then I can acutally see this game going for over a million sales combined.

Or the equivalent of 10 $2 scratch off tickets.. It is baffling though they did say strange marketing tactics. They might even start charging microtransactions to dlc to make it a full $60.. who knows..

I would love to see a documentary about this whole ordeal. It would start with the meeting that made Mike Wang decide that he had to get his *** back to 2K Sports pronto, and it would end with the meeting where they decided that this would be a 20 dollar marketplace title. It would be better than Ken Burn's The Civil War.

If true, EA is simply saying: "Our product isn't worth full price". At least they are honest. It's the first step toward making a better product (ideally).

Speechless. What a joke.

[SHAKYR]

I'm not paying anything for a game EA was bragging about months ago. They kept saying they will compete and dethrone EA. They just wasted our time and are treating their fans like sheep.
How much more feedback do they need? They have forums here and at EA with tons of feedback. Heck, they have Scott Ghallegar from the SimNation there. EA doesn't think a sim game will sell this why they never pushed hard. Even though NBA 2K sells well as a sim game , EA is scared to shake it's arcadey style.

If this game sells well as a 20 dollar game who or what's to say they don't stick to this formula?

if the gameplay and online is decent with stats upgrade, maybe this is a good thing.

Re: Confirmed: NBA Live 13 will drop this October

Except now we're only getting a $20 game and not a full title...

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.
