Will NBA Live 13 come out at all?

[bigdoc85]

No -- sorry for the confusion -- just meant that they release bad news with quarterly earnings call / announcement. The just finished 2nd quarter. So my point is that if they are not going to release this game, we will hear about it in the next month whenever they have the 2nd QUARTER earnings call / announcement. It just happened to be the 3rd quarter last time because of the delay. I don't think they will delay again.

Look at when they canceled NBA Elite -- it was early November 2010 during their 3rd quarter earnings call. If they are going to scrap NBA Live 13, that's when we should hear it. If not, then the game should be on track.

NBA Elite 11 was delayed before the game came out around the end of September but you are right the official cancel did come around during the first week of November. I think this game is coming out even if it doesn't meet the expectations of everyone they almost have to release the game. I think the game will look very much like Elite 11 but play slightly better if they learned anything from Elite 11.

However 2K is the closest video game representation of basketball that we have. If you loathe the game or will play anything just because it isn't 2K then I have to seriously question whether you know exactly what basketball is and is all about.

I believe 2K12 has the worst passing and A.I. out of all b-ball games released in the past 4 years. Consequently, I'd have to disagree that 2K12 is the most realistic basketball game.

If Live 13 provides gameplay rooted in the fundamentals of basketball, I'm on board. Polish, smooth animations, etc. are secondary IMO. I'm tired of playing video game basketball.

Then might I direct you to the nearest park, gym, backyard or other recreational facility available to you.

You know what I mean... having to use video game strategies (e.g. relying on over-powered animations) as opposed to basketball strategies to be successful.

Comments like this are asinine. Like you know so much about basketball and anyone who thinks otherwise is a clown. I know the game and what it's "all about." It's not "all about" boxey looking players with floating uniforms that never touch their actual body. It's not about making a video with an Eminem song so everybody thinks the game is awesome no matter what. I have played it and I don't like it, big deal man it shouldn't hurt your feelings so bad unless you work for 2k. Why even post on a Live forum if 2k is the absolute GOAT of gaming in any industry, any time period, any galaxy, any universe?

whatever, 2k didn't have a football title for two years, and still delivered apf2k8 within the regular dev cycle. keep it official and unbiased please. i'd like to see live come back off of the sheer fact it was the first, and i'd like to see nfl 2k come back cause it was innovative. ea brought this on themselves trying to monopolize.

EA Sports? I thought they started promoting four months in advance?
