Having become the underdog after years of eroding the fan base with sub-par releases and the aborted attempt at a reboot EA Sports is attempting a comeback with NBA Live 13.

I hope this Advisory Council is a step in the right direction NBA Live 13 needs to deliver a realistic simulation experience.

Yeah, I didn't want to seem like an EA ***** but after finding out who these guys were I felt the same way. Nothing against them but... c'mon man...

Yeah EA botched their resurgence into the spotlight. I hope they clean it up and fast.

A community event? Yea those benefit Madden and NCAA so much. The botch wasn't in who they invited to the event, it was having the event in the first place.

If Madden and NCAA are any indication, a community event indicates to me that Tiburon is still focused on promotion over not developing a crap game.

Note that PastaPadre says "botched" a release... but what they really did was have an essay contest. Truth is, nobody cares. It's just fun to take shots at EA

I was drunk when I posted mine, I was pretty proud of my essay entry, lol.

After seeing who most of these guys are and the fact that EA has used them before.....I am starting to lose hope in this game. As much as I still have love for live 10, all this propaganda crap EA has been feeding us with the advisory council really pisses me of. Here I thought " hey such a novel idea a game company going to the gamers to make a better game" turns out it was just a PR stunt!
