NBA Live 13 - Digital Download?

Not sure what this means, but found it interesting. Xbox Rewards has a special this month if you buy sports-themed DLC. So Xbox Support put up a list of all qualifying content.

In this list is:

Full Game - NBA Live 13 - Digital NBA Live 13 - Digital - DLC

Not sure what this is. Could just be a placeholder - it's the only NBA Live 13 content listed. I don't think it's Season Ticket/Early Release, because that shows up as a separate game title "NHL 12 - Early Release" vs "NHL 12". Let the speculation begin

Bryan is talking about it too.

Well its not coming this month because they really haven't said anything about the game unless its something related to live.

Would a digital release allow EA to release the game on 10/2 and then keep working on it with improvements through DLCs?

No thanks with digital games. I want the physical copy of the game when i buy a game. If i want to be able to play the game on a console other than my own i can't do that with a digital game unless i sign in on the other person's system under my name and download it on their system. And if that's the case then they just lost a sale because now that person would have the game without having to purchase it. That's what my brother and I do with a lot of DLC especially for Call of Duty. One of us purchases it, the other logs on their system with the same name and downloads it on their system.

I hadn't though about this, but its a point to consider.
