This is like Greg Oden's injury news all over again.

Re: NBA Live 13 Canceled

Live looked like it sucked, but I was thinking about breaking down and getting it if I had to. I guess I'm just out of luck with NBA games for a while.

Pretty much sums up my thoughts.

ARE YOU SERIOUS?! I wasn't going to buy nor support this game...but to see this happen, I honestly thought they'd put something out. Shocked. I played Live all the way up until Live 08 and haven't looked back. I'm SMH at those at EA who have allowed this once great franchise to fall. Terrible. Unfortunate for those that will and would support this game. My heart goes out to the fans. Damn.

Like we didn't see this coming... Sad sad day for EA.

Re: NBA Live 13 Canceled

LMAO. Can't say that I'm surprised. I don't know what I'm gonna do now though. For the past two years I've had the hardest time controlling my player in NBA 2K. It's like the controller has no sensitivity and all of my movements are clunky. I tried to buy another controller to fix the problem, but it didn't do anything. I'm not sure what the issue is because I never had problems in any of the other games. I almost think something is up with my Xbox, but I've bought so many of them that I don't want to shell out for another one. NBA 2K is the only game I have that gives me problems.

Give the 2k13 demo a try...it's a whole new ballgame in terms of player movement.

I think most already knew NBA Live had to 'call Tyrone' a few months back. Maybe they'll start interacting with the community during this absence?

Re: NBA Live 13 Has Been Canned

The sad part is that NBA Live 10 was actually a step in the right direction...but they ruined all of that progress.

The NBA Live franchise has been lagging far behind for way too long and the 2K series is just too damn good.

"Having continued to look at the game over the past few days, it's clear that we won't be ready in October"

Reading between lines I understand:
"Since 2k13 demo came out, we won't be ready in October. We're all playing that game to death"

Change the title again. NBA Hype 14!!

Re: NBA Live 13 Has Been Canned

Time to go into a new direction. Damn, used that one already.

Wow Madden probably would have went down the same road...IJS

[LionsFanNJ]

The sad thing is its taken 3 years just for them to cancel the title AGAIN. Where is the time management and direction? I put this one solely on the management team and their decision making. Not on the devs. There's no reason a quality title should have to take four years to develop after having a strong starting base, NBA live 10, which they for some reason decided wasn't good.

A major screw up all around from the decision making process.

Pretty predictable, to be honest.

Re: NBA Live 13 Has Been Canned

Wow, Mike Wang really made a huge impact. Goes to EA, 2K10 falls a bit while Live 10 becomes the best Live made. Returns to 2K, 2K11 becomes legendary, 2K13 has Live elements while EA never makes a bball game for 3 years straight.

Marketing should've let him do what he wanted to do.

Tried it, still having the same problems. The only thing that's changed between the time I used to play NBA 2K without issues and now is my console. Eventually, I need to try it on another machine and see if anything is different.
