NBA Live 15: Is the Delay a Reason for Panic or Optimism? (Roundtable)

[WTF]

Re: NBA Live 15: Is the Delay a Reason for Panic or Optimism? (Roundtable)

All I want to know is how hard is it to make a basketball game. With all the gameplay issues 2k has, and EA not getting it right with Live for half a decade, it must be tough. EA, 2k, somebody make me a FUN, RESPONSIVE basketball game. PPPPLEEEAAASSSE

EA is making a FUN, RESPONSIVE basketball game. Just give the game or demo a go when it comes out. Those 2 things are key for me. Fun and responsiveness.

3 week delay+conspiracy theories+2k post= entertainment.

What's happens If the game is actually decent?

It would be beneficial for all of us basketball gamers if it is decent, but most people won't give them the benefit of the doubt due off past rep. They have to show more because 50 second clips of gameplay will not do the trick to convince enough people.

Your "conspiracy theory" post in every thread + the lack of conspiracy theory's actually being made = repetitive.

Anyway, I think if the demo is good, assuming they are still dropping one, people will definitely give the game a chance....I know I will...don't have time to play anything i've already decided not to like.

I wonder if EA will at least drop the demo on the 7th..

I'd love to see this game turn out great, but I'd have to say that so far 2k is killing them on the eyeball test. These Live 15 clips look better than Live 14, of course, but in my opinion the visuals still fall a bit short of the bar set by their competitor. If the gameplay turns out great they could potentially make up some ground, but I just don't see it being THAT great.

I've seen around 5 or 6 dunk animations so far for Live, and more than half of them looked really unnatural, including the LeBron dunk in these clips they've just released.

You're trolling the line of trolling FYI

I wonder if the delay is a response to the bashing they are taking over NHL 15. They MAYBE are starting to realize that it is better to delay than to release garbage half products.

Well 3 weeks aren't going to turn garbage into gold.

How much extra time are they really getting though? They still have to make the discs, get approvals and ship everything.

I can't tell what is causing such a bad game. Is it a lack of talent on the Dev Team? Is it their inability to set a reasonable time frame? I know Live was bad, but why did they go from the ground up with the next game? If I were producing the game, I would give the head designer a blank check and 4 years to build the game. I assume they would be able to produce a solid product at that point.

It's a combination of things. When Wang left they had to start a whole new engine from scratch and I think they lost some guys too. Not to mention being rushed year after year to make stupid street dates. If the devs had their choice I'm sure they would love to have 3 years not 9 months to make a game

The only logical explanation I can think of is that they want to have more time to work on a day one patch, rather than having the game out for a month before some of those fixes make their way online.

Reason for the delay is unknown. Don't make assumptions. Could be simply to fix online modes or what have you.

Are you talking to me about making assumption? If so not sure why. I'm not saying the game is garbage that was the person I was addressing. My point is if the game lacks quality today pushing it back 3 weeks won't help that.

Well since we don't know the reason we are all making assumptions
