What's up with Live being off of the EA Earnings Upcoming Releases List?
 


I wrote last week about the silence surrounding EA and NBA Live 13.

What was going on? What was the game's status? Why haven't we heard anything?

EA did nothing to help that speculation yesterday when they reported to investors the latest on the company's financial status in their quarterly report. Ominously so, in the company's list of upcoming releases this season NBA Live is nowhere to be found. Is this a sign EA has given up on yet another NBA effort or are they delaying it or choosing not to advertise it at all? It definitely doesn't look good to the casual gamer as this is almost always a bad sign in our industry if a company isn't willing to include an upcoming big release game on their quarterly earnings report.

EA's reasoning for not including Live is simple -- they apparently have yet to officially announce the game so they didn't include it on their quarterly earnings. That's highly interesting considering EA has already put out advertising material for the game already, but we'll let it slide this time.

Wouldn't be surprised to see it canceled.

No it hasn't been cancelled the game will come out.

It might as well be cancelled. If it doesn't release around the same time as NBA 2K13 then it will fail big time.

EA is bungling this so much...if I didn't check this site regularly I never would have known EA was going to release a basketball game. Chances are it's going to suck because any time a company is hush hush about a game, that means they don't feel too great about it. If they felt it was up to snuff they'd be showing it off to anyone and everyone.

Not suprised,especially after hearing that one of game designers said they only have been working on the game for a year when i thought they said they would be working on it over the next 3yrs(since 2011).That would put them on track for 2014.
