NBA Live could use a little more advertising love on OS too, as it isn't even properly represented on its own forum. Click on Madden anything you get Madden content in the 4 illustrated main topics at the top of the Madden main page. The same is true when selecting the EA Hockey, NBA 2K15, and the Show 15 main pages. Click on LIVE 15 main page, and it displays NBA 2K15 content at the top.


    That's more then likely because this forum doesn't get many viewers at one time, even when news drops it doesn't even hit 100 viewers at one time, truth is this Live forum has pretty much been dead since Live 10, and only EA is to blame for that.

      Pretty much. At any given time there is almost 10x as many viewers in the 2K section as there are in the Live section, even without any info drops. The Live forum will pick up once more info is dropped, but don't expect it to be on the header like 2K, Madden, NHL or The Show.
      Say "No" to railroaded MC modes.

        I guess if I was a clueless parent sent to pre order a game for my son I could've got the titles mixed up but I feel like he isn't in there to question my pre order
        I understand you dont want the employees talking down to you like you're clueless(trust me ,they do that alot as if this is your first time out of the house)...but i wouldn't want you buying a letdown of a game&and live has been exactly that.

          Listen, EA and the other company should have had betas/demos out at least 2 months ago. I've had SF5 beta (only have played 15 min) and Blac Ops 3 beta since they dropped. Even though SF5 beta has been faulty, I bet its online is ready to go by release. I don't understand why EA and the other folks don't release betas or demos anymore. I guess we're just supposed to throw our money at em, based off hype trailers and videos.

            But they have the EA pass for there sports games which allows you to play 10 hours of the actual game before release, and Live is releasing a free demo where you can play the pro am mode and play now with 6 teams on September 15th.

              If you don't feel you have enough information to make an informed decision on whether to make the purchase....Then don't make the purchase....I don't get it...

                Trust me if I'm not sold then I won't. My point is what happened to demos? What's wrong with EA or 2k releasing a beta or demos prior to release? Kudos to EA for releasing the Pro-am prior to launch. I look forward to testing it out to see how improved gameplay is and how the online feels.

                  If I'm not mistaken, and someone correct me if I'm wrong, game demos are usually built separately from the actual game. Kind of like betas, demos take additional time and resources to build and most development teams are already on a tight schedule since sports games are released annually. That being the case, I think EA going the trial route for EA Access is a great move because it gives subscribers a chance to try the completed games in addition to everything else that comes with the service. As a matter of fact, I think the only sports game that has gotten an actual demo over the last two years is PES.
