Not sure if I'm more excited about the release or how this game will be received come Thursday.

It should be Thursday.

Frankly, the more info that comes out the more I laugh.

They're doing everything to piss people off.

1. It's working
2. People are still coming back for more and
3. People are still going to buy the game.

Like last year? Is it even fair to say that? Does that sentence even work considering to this day they still haven't sold 360,000 copies of 14?

Unfortunately you can't use message board comments to pay for the game, EA is charging $60 we'll see if the "in the dark" angle works out for them...

Reading the justifications people are coming up with is the most entertaining part of these threads at this point...

As for the news itself...I kind've expected it...and to be honest, I don't too put to much stock many outlet reviews...

I'll see for myself Thursday, just picked up another XBO

It's not a false statement.

Are we supposed to set benchmarks for EA's sales numbers or even care about them? Not sure who buys a game while looking at last year's P&L.

Unless they pull the copies from the shelves, people will buy it- demo/no demo, media review/no media review, etc.

EA's got people waiting on info like Detox and it's been clear for a minute now that they're not giving up anything.

Why this surprises or even bothers people I don't know.

How can one be disappointed time and time again but keep coming back for more.

The impressions on Thursday will be far more telling than reviews.

I don't give a flying truck that these review sites can't get the game early. When is the last time ign, or gamespot gave NBA live a review that was worth the game. I haven't agreed with their reviews of live in a while and I gave up on their opinion of basketball games long time ago. Boohoo. They were only gonna put the game on rookie and try to dunk every possession with LeBron or shoot threes with Kevin love. I LOVE IT how we the people will get to formulate our own opinion without some rpg junkie who never even watched basketball tell me game isn't fun. I think somehow ea is just sticking it to the same journalist who have been bashing them for years.

I'm sure ea will put out a game that's better than NBA LIVE 14. That's all I want, and all I expect. I ENJOYED NBA LIVE 14. So I Will enjoy this game. Less than a day now. 7 hrs!

This reminds me of when I was a kid and knew a bad report card was coming. I would try to beat my mom to the mailbox so she wouldn't see it because I knew it wasn't gonna be good. EA is doing the same thing. If you're proud of your work, there is nothing to hide. Plain and simple. I will play the demo and hope it's a solid upgrade from last year, but all these signals are not promising.

They came in the mail ? we had report card day where parents had to go pick them up. There was no beat my parents to the mail box, I better perform or risk being embarrassed at school lol. And im with you, the way they have handled the release is very similar to that of Live 14. Clearly with Live 14 they were hiding the game, and thats how I feel about 15.

Exactly, look at pes2015 for example they released their demo about the same time fifa did except the game will be out on November 13th.

They are the ones who are behind in sales, popularity and ratings and are proud of the progress they have made and are excited to show it off early either by demo or reviewers.

I just don't get what they're hiding. Hopefully tomorrow we'll see something good.

Yeah, my high school mailed them. But my mom wasn't a fool and knew around the time when a report card was due. So I might delay what was coming for a few days but eventually I had to face the fire. NBA Live might be in the same spot.
