Outlets won't be getting reviewable copies of NBA Live 15 until release day

[jyoung]

Some bad news for consumers wanting to read detailed NBA Live 15 reviews on or before its release day:

EA has just informed me there will be no review copies of NBA Live 15 until launch. Expect our impressions on launch day, review to follow.

I know, I know. This isn't a big deal at all, we shouldn't be concerned about this in any way shape or form. This is completely acceptable behavior. Yadda, yadda, yadda.

maybe its because of the day one patch.

The delay delayed everything so this is expected. Wonder if they had an opportunity when other outlets did to play the game though. Either way we get to play it and write our own reviews! Too bad for the people that need to hear what ign/gamespot need to say. Bummer...

Huh....can't form an opinion from a demo ?
The herd needs to be spoon fed I guess.

Expect excuses to appear directly following your post in some fashion..
