It should be Thursday.

Frankly, the more info that comes out the more I laugh.

They're doing everything to piss people off.

1. It's working
2. People are still coming back for more and
3. People are still going to buy the game.

Like last year? Is it even fair to say that? Does that sentence even work considering to this day they still haven't sold 360,000 copies of 14?

[The 24th Letter]

Unfortunately you can't use message board comments to pay for the game, EA is charging $60 we'll see if the "in the dark" angle works out for them...

Reading the justifications people are coming up with is the most entertaining part of these threads at this point...

As for the news itself...I kind've expected it...and to be honest, I don't too put to much stock many outlet reviews...

I'll see for myself Thursday, just picked up another XBO

It's not a false statement.

Are we supposed to set benchmarks for EA's sales numbers or even care about them? Not sure who buys a game while looking at last year's P&L.

Unless they pull the copies from the shelves, people will buy it- demo/no demo, media review/no media review, etc.

EA's got people waiting on info like Detox and it's been clear for a minute now that they're not giving up anything.

Why this surprises or even bothers people I don't know.

How can one be disappointed time and time again but keep coming back for more.

The impressions on Thursday will be far more telling than reviews.

I don't give a flying truck that these review sites can't get the game early. When is the last time ign, or gamespot gave NBA live a review that was worth the game. I haven't agreed with their reviews of live in a while and I gave up on their opinion of basketball games long time ago. Boohoo. They were only gonna put the game on rookie and try to dunk every possession with LeBron or shoot threes with Kevin love. I LOVE IT how we the people will get to formulate our own opinion without some rpg junkie who never even watched basketball tell me game isn't fun. I think somehow ea is just sticking it to the same journalist who have been bashing them for years.

I'm sure ea will put out a game that's better than NBA LIVE 14. That's all I want, and all I expect. I ENJOYED NBA LIVE 14. So I Will enjoy this game. Less than a day now. 7 hrs!
