Remember what the EA ad whizzes say: bad press is still good press!

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!

The best one I could find with such short notices.

Just for the record, I can promise you all, even as no EA-supporter, that if EA ever puts a great basketball game, I'm going to pay for it and buy it early on. I really am. Just like many of you I would love to see more than one basketball game every year.

If EA guys ever read this, just to let you know. Quality sells. Marketing can't replace quality. Put a great basketball game, it'll pay off.

I think that this may be the best gif ever. It's only appropriate for about a billion different scenarios.

Xbox live Arcade size limit is 2go. Not sure how they will deal with it.

They do put out trials for XBA games, so you can try it out for free.

The 2GB might be surpassed since it's EA and Microsoft and Sony will likely allow more leniency to an established developer. If it's under 2 GB than that is a issue. Probably wasn't going to buy it anyways but I'll definitely try it out anyways.

Would have preferred $15 but this is fine, I think it's its a good move . Now if they 4actually fix it by release it could be a sleeper hit like NFL2K5 was....what...I can have hope can't I? Yea but still getting that 2K13 regardless....just sayin....

[fitzgerald434]

To be honest I think this is a smart move by EA having a 20$ price I'm guessing EA is doing this as a way to make up for the fans for canceling Elite 11 and then skipping a year as well. And for just 20$ I wouldnt mind buying the game as long as EA fixed the issues we saw in the leaked footage then I'll buy it.

I've paid $20 for an arcade title, Perfect Dark. If they would have released this game full price on disk people would be complaining that they should have charged only $20 because that's all it's worth. People will never be happy with EA no matter what they do. Be happy we get a complete BB game for this price. If you don't like it don't buy it. Play 2K and move on. At least it's another option.

Digital only $20 price tag will let them CYA, and you can already see it in the article.

EA guys will come out and say they didnt invest any more time in the game as they left it in developmental stage to gather feedback


WAIT TILL NEXT F'ING YEAR, CAUSE IF ITS IN THE GAME, THEN WAIT TIL THEN BECAUSE ... well, we.. because we are executing a new direction that you have never seen before, and,... well 2k better watch out cause we have a 3 year plan.. to... bring a ...AAA ... well we gotta wait until november so we can get our new guys together that have won at every level of basketball except for college... and ,uh the pro level!!! Yeah!!!

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.

I totally agree. There were many posters (mods included) who said the game would NEVER come out and they would criticise posters who hoped the game would! People act like they do not care about this title, yet I see them posting in this forum daily. For $20.00 I will check out this title. They way I look at it, it's another basketball title, and you know people are always clamouring for competition in sport titles.

If gamers do not like Live, they have another basketball title to choose from. That being said they will be in here posting negative things about the game.

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

If taking TWO YEARS for EA to release a Live for digital download isn't enough to wash your hands of the EA/Live series, I don't know what will be.

[fitzgerald434]

My guess is Live wont have as many features in it but that's fine as long as its a decent game and also EA needs to use this as a way to get feedback from people about the game
