NBA Live 13 Being Shown to Select Outlets Thursday

Re: NBA Live 13 Being Shown to Select Outlets Thursday

Exactly. LOL @ anyone who thinks that Elite got cancelled because it didn't have Jordan in their game. Who really cares about someone who last played nearly a decade ago? If 2K spends half the time on improving player animations and player control instead of "shoving" Michael Jordan down our throats every year now.....then maybe EA's Live would have received the final nail in the coffin.

A-lot of older people like myself care about Michael Jordan you can try to down play his evolvement all you want, but when his new shoe comes out people stand in lines, he can still sell a product and is still considered the best ever, but back to your comparison 2k11 developmental team did not sit by and say we got Jordan thats all we need, no they created what is considered the best sports simulation to date and cause EA to scrap the release of an inferior product.

Jordan or not, elite was getting cancelled. You act like game developers no nothing about video games and how they work.

Wait, WTF are you talking about? How do I act like developers know nothing about video games and how they work? If you don't remember what happened back then you should probably excuse yourself from the conversation. Jordan or not Elite was getting cancelled? No it wasn't cause it was already gold and ready to ship to stores. The game got delayed a friggin week before release. You seem to have it made up in your head already that they were sitting around doing some play testing and decided it wasn't up to their standard of excellence. Wrong. It was past the testing point already, they knew what was in that game and what was wrong with it already. The only reason they even delayed it is because of the hard8times video exposing what a disaster they had on their hands, that and Jordan being on the cover of 2K and they knew it was going to crush Elite at that point. Maybe they just bit the bullet and cancelled it a few weeks later after that because of their standard (doubt it) but if not for hard8times and Jordan, Elite would have dropped business as usual.

Exactly. LOL @ anyone who thinks that Elite got cancelled because it didn't have Jordan in their game. Who really cares about someone who last played nearly a decade ago?

I said I wasn't going to actually respond to any of the stuff you post around here but this...seriously....

Who really cares? Apparently whoever is responsible for those 5 million+ copies sold of 2K11 that I guarantee you at least a few people who were going to buy Elite are apart of. But whatever helps you sleep at night bro.

EDIT:

Somebody explain to me, how the hell something like this even makes it to a week before release before it becomes clear that it and I'm quoting Peter Moore here, "would benefit from more time in development."

Re: NBA Live 13 Being Shown to Select Outlets Thursday

I'm just happy EA isn't throwing out crazy marketing hype over their game. We've seen what 2k's so called "Great announcement of all-time" has created. All it's created on this board is disappointment and trust issues.

I'm not sure how this Live title is going to be, but I have faith that they can eventually release a solid product in the future.

Wow. So 2k claiming a "major announcement" isn't the same as EA doing things "never seen in a game" hype? Blind and biased, thy name is 'authentic'.

I'm in my mid-30s and I watched Jordan play in his prime and I purchased his overpriced sneakers that were made in Chinese sweatshops by underage children back in the day. However that was during the 80s and 90s and in the year 2013, Michael Jeffrey Jordan or any other 'blue hair' legend that 2K is using to sell it's product is IRRELEVANT to me and many people.

I would rather have them use that time and energy into improving EXISTING gameplay, player animations - not to mention player/jersey graphics.

Edit: Just caught 23's gifs above, that was (bleeping) hilarious! LOL

Well at least he didn't call him a "bum" like the dude in my sig did, there's that, I guess.

It also should be said that I don't think Live will be anything spectacular. Probably just a solid foundation in my opinion is the best that can be hoped for.

I agree. I think it is ludicrous to think they are going to catch NBA2K right out of the gates.

Question, OS:



This thread has been just awesome.

I'm sorry, but when's the last time a company claimed to have the biggest announcement ever to later release it's just a soundtrack? Also, I think your missing where I have said that I have bought 2k over the years, and that I enjoy 2k. Every company says they're doing something never before seen in video games. I have never stated EA is king and 2k is second and that that won't ever change. It's not bias, it's the truth coming from someone who has bought every 2k game this gen and only 2 live games.

I want to know what steve thinks and could he elaborate on what regdave talks about here. I know this is e3 stuff, but to listen and hear these things, I think he hits on points that make you wonder.

Then to read that EA isnt at beta yet, doesnt sound too good. People want to give a pass saying its a new devs team etc, but this new dev team is salvaging old dev team parts. Shouldnt they be trying to fix the things wrong with their past games, such as Live10/Elite11 in corollation to the swipes at 2k? Let alone the beta needs testing. I did a few months on beta Qa live 07/08, so being theyre not at beta... and less than 2 months to release, doesnt sound too good.

Noshun,
I was thinking the same thing when I saw this video a few weeks ago. Regular Dave is in another video in which he and sma11z99 (one of the 2k chosen Team Up members) react to what they were shown at E3.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=s-dk8ruzgG4&feature=plcp

It's the real reaction a sim basketball fan would have when they're shown something unimpressive unlike this character HipHopGamer aka shots fired.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sX2Ru5h8d9w Don't watch the whole thing.
Wasn't he shown the same things everyone else was shown?

No positive reaction from industry press at the BIGGEST trade event of the year. No report of the game at the investors quarterly earnings meeting. The game was pulled from an in house summer showcase event one day before the event. No cover man. No concrete confirmation of whether the game will be an in store release, digital release, released at all. But yet, some still have FAITH?
