Is the NBA Live 13 Cover Athlete, LeBron James?

Re: Is the NBA Live 13 Cover Athlete, LeBron James?

I will once again say, I wish I could've played whatever copy of Live it was that hooked some of you dudes so hardcore that you'll say anything to defend and believe in EA. I don't care how much money LeBron already has in endorsements he'll sell you a box of **** covered crackers if he's getting paid out the *** for it. That's like saying State Farm is the best insurance to have cause LeBron put his name on it. Or Hanes is the best underwear cause Jordan is a good business man. I'll let Dave Chappelle explain it better than any of us.

I was thinking about this Chappelle bit, and this one from Eddie Murphy about Best Defense

Just as an aside, even as a non-simulation geared youth, I don't think I ever bought a sports game for its cover. My favorite player was David Robinson so I admit there was a part of me that really wanted David Robinson's Supreme Court but even as a kid without the internet in the 90's, I was able to find out it kind of sucked, so I opted for games like Tecmo NBA Basketball, which I'm pretty sure had a random picture of the Clippers and Blazers on the front, or NBA Showdown '94, which I also think featured an action shot.

This is all not to say no one ever buys a game for it's cover, but sometimes I think some folks treat non-sport video game forum visiting people like they're terribly daft, just bumbling around a Best Buy, mindlessly stumbling upon a basketball video game and saying to themselves, "Hey! I think I want a basketball video game! How much, let's see. . . okay $65 bucks. Great. I think I'll base my decision upon which cover I find most attractive. Annnnd done."

very good point. I think there are people out there, especially younger children, who will see Lebron on the cover or doing ads for the game and want to check it out but the world we live in makes it hard to buy anything without hearing reviews about it first. To be honest I dont know why anyone would buy a game or even see a movie without looking at some reviews first, especially considering the price. It is possible that Live fans may see that Live is back and also see Lebron on the cover and buy the game for that reason, but Lebron alone will not sell this game.

Lebron is too small on the cover. The artwork appears very cut and paste. A good cover blends in the athlete into the background. With this cover, there is too much separation between the cover athlete and the actual background. I'm not saying it isn't the cover for the game, but it's definitely not professional looking.

But what do i know.

Not sure what's worse - the fact that OS posted a fake cover (without any confirmation; and on their front-page no less, LOL) or the ensuing comments in this thread....especially the one by a mod justifying the posting of the "fake" cover by saying that it created much needed traffic to an otherwise dead forum.

LOL, nice spin.

Back to your regularly scheduled EA and Live 13 HATE FEST.

That's actually hilarious, isnt funny and ironic that the reason why anyone would even talk about this anonymous cover is that ea sports is too choked up to release any information whatsoever regarding nba live 13 ; if anything is dead, it's ur brain.... and nba live 13.

LOL did the tuna venture in the 2k forums and piss off some people? That would be my guess! It always happens! As soon as 2k drops info and the 2k forums starts bumping they get bored here in the Live forums and venture into the 2k forums just to annoy people there.
