How do you cancel a game and then release a trailer?

The game was never cancelled, those rumors you read weren't true at all.

Animation wise, they are stiff and have no joint movements, that is what is missing...there are no joints and they have no waistlines.

And out of all the comments on this thread. No one mentioned how big Paul Pierce head was compared to his body.

Bobble to bobble to bobble head (singing that dang song now)

Faces overall looked great!

- Jerseys, Movements, skintextures and sweat looked hideous..and crowds looked crappy and polygon compared to Live 10.

I still don't understand. How EA have all these resources, and you still put out this mess. I'm at lose for words really.

Man I don't really have much to say other than the handling of EA's basketball since live 10 has been a series of head scratching debacles. I mean after that leak THIS is the great footage you have for the public? Just looks like they're trying to do damage control, but its way later than should have been.

Nothing really excites me about the trailer.

In all honesty, I read the first part of this thread title, "NBA Live 13 Trailer Arrives" and my first thought was, "Oh word, nice, finally. Now we're getting somewhere." Of course, I continued on to the rest of the title "But the Game is Delayed Indefinitely" and I honestly just smiled and shook my head to myself, which is something I don't normally do. At this point, it's like, "C'mon guys, you cannot be real right now."

With that said, I was still kind of excited to see the trailer and after the first ten seconds or so, I was actually legitimately worried EA wasn't going to show any footage closer than the aerial shots in the opening. I thought the faces really did look pretty good though. And as others said, it's nice to see correct accessory colors. Everything else is looking a little subpar though. The animations and matter with which they connect to one another seems stiff and robotic. And the entire time I watched these short bursts of close-ups, I couldn't help thinking about how bad the game looked in the alpha video (or whatever we're calling it now).

I was smiling before I even clicked the video lol. The game looks terrible. NBA Live has A LOT of work to do to catch up with 2K. I hope they hurry up and step it up to at least give 2K some type of competition. I don't care what anyone says though, the facial models look really really good.

Well, that's a shame.

Just pack it in and call it a year EA

I suppose there are some positives to take from this. Like faces.

But oh man, EA are simply not that good at sports simulations. I'm sorry, they just are not. All their games have a floaty feeling. No weight or mass to the ball/players. FIFA is probably only exception. It's decent. Hockey probably gets a pass, but still light floaty players and puck physics are brutal. Not enough animations or individuality.

Look at their business model. It speaks volumes. Stay away from the PC, which could actually help them. Mods would do wonders to improve their games and sales. Instead they've chosen to stay away and, even on consoles, eliminate editing altogether or make it so restrictive that you are dependent on them for even a roster update ("$60 please"--EA). They cater to corporate greed as opposed to the fans. They could potentially be so much better if they chose to cooperate with the users instead of treating them like sheep. And the users have to take some responsibility in all this. Handing over our money like sheep. Although I suspect that's why they cater to the casuals, they don't know any better.

EA just scrap what your doing, and start new next gen.

[TMagic]

My guess is that the real reason they've had to delay it because they cant find an athlete who wanted to be on the cover. Nobody wants to be known as the face of this game after seeing it.

EA oh so far you have fallen...

They've done that before NBA elite had trailers. Right now they are saying it's "delayed" but that can turn into cancelled. Look at elite's timeline impression articles----previews--------gameplay videos------trailer--------demo-------delayed-------cancelled.
