While the NBA Live 13 trailer shows the game in action, according to Kotaku, it might be the last we see of it, for quite some time.

Questioned by Kotaku, an EA Sports spokesman refused to discuss release format, time frame, or the game's anticipated feature set. Asked why this series, which has been off shelves for three years, couldn't hit an Oct. 2 release date with a 70-man team in place for a year, he said:

"We're not going to get into that level of detail with this announcement. In early April, you saw where we were with this project and how ambitious it was, that they had to take down the code of Elite and rebuild it. Its easy to surmise that also took time, in the development cycle, to get the whole thing up to speed. It was an ambitious project and it is a challenging game to create."

Even Shady00001 can't make this game appealing...

Re: NBA Live 13 Trailer, Effectively Delayed Indefinitely

I saw some good in it. Player Models, some animations but overall you can see the stiffness from the gameplay video.

Re: NBA Live 13 Trailer, Delayed Indefinitely

Players remind me of Gumby models, the way they move and animate something is off. Looks a bit stiff.

Looks good..if they get thier gameplay and animations right, they might have something.

That was turrible. Player models have little definition, and have this weird sweat sheen to them. Animations are very, very stiff. Normally EA goes all out to create buzz with their "sizzle" trailers. No smoke, no fire, no sizzle. My opinion, they need to delay until they have a game worth launching.....

This is good news. The release window is speculative, all they've said is not the 2nd.

Where was the "This is not actual gameplay footage disclaimer"?

That was clearly enhanced. Shame on you EA. Props on the faces but miss me with that Avatar-looking gameplay.

I didn't know sagetheinfinite did the trailer song

What a disaster for EA.

Absolute debacle.

I guess that wasn't the pre-alpha build we saw a few weeks back.

It has no fluidity at all. When Rondo goes for the layup, (0:28 second mark) it just looks odd and jerky. That and all the players look like they're made of plastic as opposed to having life like skin tones. I grew up playing Live and it's so sad to see how the whole series has fallen apart.

they should just make this an iOS release and be done with it....
