Some of you were lungs full of air, chest pumped out, holding the Live 14 flag baton, saying the other game is stale, yady yada and still are in denial seeing how bad this game is... UNBELIEVABLE.. On top of that you have Scott OG saying that he doesnt care about the low reviews from IGN initally, but then calls those guys "nerfhoops". I wonder what he thinks of Sean, being that hes apologizing for this game he oversaw? No offense to Sean O'Brien either about saying sorry, but this is just sad. now Andrew Wilson is apologizing too.. Their saying that player feedback is showing the game is hard to learn, but they have simplified controls.. so what the heck does that mean. especially for the Struggle Live Apologists screaming that Live has better control then the other game, etc.. Anyone seen Dounte on the EA forums.. pray for that guy... & Sirs, Ced and a few others...

You ethered Dounte! I've been wondering what happen to him on the EA forum since Live 14 was released. He is probably in a wreck because the game let him down and he does not want to show weakness.

"We felt authentic gameplay, control and the connected experience would provide the best foundation for the future. As a result, game visuals and animation polish suffered." Is animation (polish) not a part of gameplay...?

I'm not sure if it was sean obrien but someone at EA flat out lied. We were first told that info and videos of the game were coming sometime in august..never happened. Then we were promised gameplay videos before release..didn't happen..atleast not official videos from EA. Not to mention when they promised videos on specified dates and then that didn't end up happening.

The close up excuse is a little weak because all of 2ks trailers were close ups as well. Sure zoomed out 2k doesnt look as good as it does zoomed in but it still looks pretty damned good and definitely is an improvement over current gen (or is it last gen now?) Imo the moment EA messed up with Live was the prerendered video they showed at E3. That video gave the game a false visual identity that it could never live up to and it didn't even look much better than what 2k showed at E3, which we all know was actual gameplay. From there on out all we received from EA was false hope for a game that wasn't even able to meet low expectations.

To be honest...didnt try the demo of this game. But for me to believe in EA....offer those who bought this game a refund or 50% refund...that I know that they are really serious about their promises.

Wow just wow. Put all your money in FIFA and MMA please EA. Refunds are the only thing that can begin to restore the image of ea basketball.

They don't deserve any praise for bamboozling the sports gaming masses yet again.
