The Next NBA Live Has Been Pushed to Fall 2017

Lol.... How long you gonna hold on to my quote man lmao^^^

This is by far the dumbest thing they could have done.... I'll put it like this: for the sim heads out there, forget it... They're just pushing NBA LIVE MOBILE/LUT now!!!!! This is what that delay means!

Oh, well. I'm not happy in one sense, but if they're taking an extra 6 months to develop a "really good game" into a great one, I guess that's fair. At least Live Mobile has been pretty fun for a free game

Apparently it was playable, according to Toneh who is a Game Designer at EA

However, if people still don't appreciate the game or think it's not good then I think they'll live through the Mobile world forever. I hope i'm wrong on this

Without knowing anything about the WIP title, I still think that it's a smart decision. Hopefully it means that the game will run on a new and better engine. But they need to find a base and build up on it, add things and improve the existing things.

Also, not having the ability to edit rosters/players is unacceptable and should hurt them financially if it's still the case.

Providing that it's a quality product, they need to stop with the "It's really good, you should try it, it's fun" attitude, and hire marketing professional to turn around the way this game is being branded and marketed. It's terrible.

Hopefully they don't listen too much to the higher-ups. They should listen to the gaming community, especially those who are mature and know the sport.

I hope they still drop the demo early this year.

If they are serious...I hope they would consider releasing a demo this quarter, gathering as much gameplay feedback as possible, while continuing to develop deep and customizable game modes.

I think with this being the 3rd reboot following the cancellation of Elite 11 and the non-release of NBA Live 12 and 13, this is really and truly EA's last shot at reclaiming relevancy and they must know it. The game has to be good, polished, full of options and deep modes. The decision was the right one IMO.

Well just make online association type mode like 2k did on 360 but failed to do on this gens 2k, make your pro am mode a full 4 quarters rather then a game up to 21. Work on the animations. Beat 2k to an online connected careers. Make calling plays, making subs, etc easy unlike nba 2k17. Make sure you dont get stuck on a logo screen upon launch and require additional steps just to launch a game. Add historical teams and if you decide to put a legend like kobe on cover make the game built around him. Take advantage of the new xbox coming out cuz 2k lazy asses aren't. Make a park mode similar to 2k but dont allow microtransactions like you did for nba live 16 then if all these things are done you will be good nba live.
