Sean O'Brien Issues Apology for NBA Live's Quality, Promises Improvements

[Tomba]

There is no way we will see adequate improvemnts to this game through a patch. I cant remeber a patch that greatly improved player models and animations.

They will fix Lebrons face

They will remove a few awkward under the basket animations

They will MAYBE add sliders

They will MAYBE allow editing of rosters

The first two I see happening within December Xmas time

The latter two might not be even considered.

I wouldn't be surprised if they did a price drop after Black Friday

But even if they had 1 yr to do the game they basically made the same game that was in NCAA Basketball 2010.

While on a twitch stream Scott was over heard saying "man some of these comments are riducoulous" and ALL the comments at the time he said that were about animations not being fluid. HIM saying THAT shows they cant even see it....

Seriously!
EA have spent the last few months trying to convince us how great their NBA game is going to be in an effort to make us spend our hard earned money on this game. Now they say, sorry guys it's actually a bit pants! They could of course offer to reimburse all those who bought this rubbish, but no, they'll just spend a few weeks stringing people along, saying that there is a patch to fix it all before declaring that they're now concentrating on next years game.

First of all, 3 years is the time that you had to develop this game. 3 damn years. That is a lot of time for a company that has tons of money. Second, you went the whole 2013 without showing progress on what you were working on. A couple trailers is never enough. Third...you released the demo along side the release day which in all my years of playing games is the most awkward thing I have ever seen. Fourth...which ties into my first point. Why the hell didn't EA release this game on XBOX 360 or PS3?? would have made way more sense. It really makes them look bad when they were working on ONE version of the game and still messed it up. 2k Sports was developing two games at once in a single year. I had to get that off my chest because I am very disappointed that this games is bad because I used to be a live guy that has moved on with the great 2k series. There is still a piece of my heart that still wants to play some live. This BS of an effort just killed it for me. This apology is a just a scam because they couldn't hold the game back again so they figured, lets just release it and apologize for it. I have no hopes for LIVE 15. Last live game that was good was Live 10 only because they stole 2k's programmer for one year..then he went back to 2k with all of EA's knowledge. SMH

Key point: THEY COULDN'T HOLD THE GAME BACK AGAIN... trust, if they could have, they would have.

Funny if anyone believes a patch will fix a game to any great extent. Haven't played the game but judging by what little I have seen I don't want to play it. Releasing on NG might be their way of telling us they have only limited resources for a BB game. No way they were going to lay out the money to develop for four systems at once. But in this scenario EA is screwed anyway. It looks laughable for a NG game.

So basically we had guys defending this game before release stating we shouldn't judge the videos because it wasn't the final product.Now we have a EA representative who acknowledges that the game was basically released sub par and what we saw in those Trailiers was the actual gameplay.I wonder where all those guys who kept defending game went now????

Better yet we have some guys saying you don't know basketball if you don't embrace this game after EA apologizes for it. Pretty entertaining stuff.

yeah. someone posted a article on here awhile back stating that the nba was upset at ea for not releasing a game the past few years. maybe the patch is things they wanted to add/fix but ran out of time.
