NBA Live 13 Trailer Arrives, But the Game is Delayed Indefinitely

I saw where they said they had to tear down the Elite build and start over from scratch for this one. I'm a tech dummy, so I'm sure this question has been asked and answered before. But why can't they just take the NBA Live 10 build (which wasn't an awful game) and just polish and expand on that? Seems like that'd make for the best game moving forward, especially considering this generation of consoles is almost over.

Think about it - this would have been Madden if NFL 2K was still around. Going through delays and losing gamers.

Colors and faces look on point but I have a feeling those are enhanced. The models look very odd as do the fluidity of the game.

Just scrap it and design for the next gen consoles coming out next year tbh. Looked promising though..

[hawley088]

could you imagine if 2k could make an NFL game again if EA cant even get a basketball game right?

The player faces look great and the Howard block animation look clean, but other than that look like they still have some work to do.

I blame that guy who was brought over from FIFA and NHL games to work on what was previously known as Elite and screwed everything up. He thought he could just easily implement the same thing from those other sports games (dribble and shot sticks) to an NBA game... No wonder Mike left EA.

Yeah, the only positives are the faces, but I think that's sad. Not saying that players shouldn't be accurate, but this is what I'm talking about live needs fans to set a standard. There are people that will not buy 2k13 if it does not have crew. We shouldn't settle and say "well the faces and accessories are accurate", we should be saying "we want gameplay, that at the very least resembles basketball".

The trailer is awesome. I can only laugh at the negativity I see on this forum.

Can't wait for this game to drop!

"We had decided that we needed a longer amount of time to develop the NBA game and to make sure we were delivering a true AAA EA Sports title," Wilson explained. "We decided long ago that 2012 was the right time for us, long before the lockout, and I think once people see what we're developing, they'll agree that the extra time really paid off."

on Monday, which a spokesman said will be "an all-new experience that captures the future of basketball."

At this point, I just want to know is where have the confidence went in this game? They were talking it up exponentially and again (just like with Elite) talked about the competition's weaknesses and how they are better in those respective areas. Now that its crunch time, and the time for talk has long been over, you don't want any part of the limelight that you so seek during the earlier portion of this very year?

This scenario reminds me of a guy talking a bunch of crap to onlookers -- which he's trying to impress -- about what he's going to do the 'big man on campus.' Then when the man arrives and taps the shoulder of the **** talker who's still running his mouth, he immediately cowards into a fetal position. Shows over, and of course, the onlookers are disappointed as they were expecting the guy who talked so much crap to at least put up a fight.

After the way this entire ordeal has been handled, (lies, deceit, and a lack of transparency coming off years on hiatus) there's absolutely nothing that they can do to evoke any type of confidence from me as a consumer unless they completely clean house of everyone who's responsible for the ineptitude that has fallen upon this series in the recent years. Live overall, has been a disappointment this entire generation of consoles with their myriad of three year plans that have yet to be executed fully and all of their unfulfilled promises to their fan base, but what they've done, or lack there of in these recent years, is unacceptable.

This series is "lucky" to have the backing of a conglomerate such as EA as well as a fan base that has some type of emotional ties to this series as its the game that they grew up playing, otherwise, this series would've been defunct a long time ago.

Good start for EA... Looks like I have other basketball options after all..

Because that was Mike Wangs engine and he left EA and he's at 2k now

Everything else has been said, so I won't beat a dead horse, but explain to me what everyone likes about the jerseys on this? To me it looks like they don't move or flow, almost like they're painted on.
