I don't get the people who are defending EA. They don't care about you. They care about your money. Why are you defending them? In the past 2 years what have they done to make you feel you need to defend them? They realized that 2k had stepped up their game, they were falling behind, tried a name change and a so called "new direction", failed miserably, scraped the game, said they were going back to Live a year ago and have given us no sign of life. I just find the whole situation comical and especially the people who are trying to defend EA in this situation. I'm more than happy with the product 2k has been putting out and this year looks even better so whether Live comes out or not i don't care. I don't even know why anyone would bother purchasing it over 2k anyway when 2k is hands down the better basketball game unless EA has kept the best secret ever and release a ridiculous product.

Yep thats the story of EA, i have never posted negate things about 2k on forums. Either the problem was too small or it can be corrected to some degree but EA...You need to scream on forums for them to find their problems and hopefully they Drop in on OS and see what we are complaining about and fix it.

EA is beginning to crumble because we arent in the stone age anymore and people expect things to be at a certain standard in 2012 and EA still thinks their swindling business decisions are going to be tolerated by fans who are in an age of motion sensor gaming...

In 2006 nobody cared about Madden being awful as long as it had updated rosters and i could play with my Cowboys. But now we know they know better and they still think they can release half assed material and we will flock to buy.

EA Tips for success:

Hire people that actually have a background or understanding of the game your making. Stop having beauty salon hair dressers be the lead designer of Madden...

Stop retooling your game year after year, just tweak and adjust until correct. What is the point of removing things unless their bugs or broken?

Make games catered to sim players and have options for casual players. Im sick of having to drastically change default sliders to get sim play, make the casual fan make the game easier instead of us trying to make it harder. Its easy for a guy to go in and turn all the sliders to 75 to make the game arcade like, but it is harder for us to go in and find the correct numbers for each slider.

And Last but most importantly...WORK WITH THE COMMUNITY TO FIX YOUR GAMES.

I think EA Sports plan for NBA Live with this 3 year plan is to not change direction or be completely reactive. They should have a three year set plan that doesn't reset completely every three years. What I am talking about is the method of always knowing what you are building on and how it fits within the high-level plans for the future. This method will give them the ability to go from making good games to being an industry leader for the future.

I don't think the 3-year plan thing is to actually put a good game within 3 years. It's more to have a (kinda) legitimate "excuse" why the game isn't great this year, and why it's worth the wait.

The only problem with this, is that by the time they put a so-called decent game (in their opinion), it's no longer even an average because times have changed and their game looks dated...again. and so on and on...

It has already been 2 years

How many more years do they need

Talking about NBA Live and the next generation, we actually need to talk about a next generation...of people. Maybe then... No rush. 25 years isn't a long time.
