    Re: NBA Live 13 Has Been Canned

    Everything that I wanted to say has been said so I'll keep it short. If heads haven't rolled over the debacle, then they will now. The franchise is effectively dead because of this cancellation. The general public has no reason to look forward to Live 14 as Electronic Arts has shown for three years now that this franchise is not a priority for them. If they are going to continue with basketball in any shape or form, they just need to go the Street route because they have lost the simulation basketball war. Their unwillingness to relinquish their stake in the NBA is pathetic.

        Competition is good, but 2k's been competing against themselves for the last several years and have maintained excellent product quality. I don't see them getting lazy anytime soon.

          Not necessarily. When you release a game you are expected to make a certain amount of money and if you don't meet those numbers your product is more or less a failure. Plus with this game supposively being a digital release they dont lose money that would have been spent on manufacturing the disc n such. I don't see how they lose money by spending an extra year to develop a game unless they decide to start from scratch again. To be honest I think this is what the sports genre needs, a game that is developed for multiple years instead of releasing a product every year just to have something to sell.

          The "cancellation" of this game is similar to delays we see in big games like gta and bioshock. The companies are making sure they release the best possible product instead of releasing something that people are going to be disappointed with. We all know that this game needs more work so wouldn't you rather ea take another year to improve things and release a game that is actually worth playing? The trailer showed good graphics but everything else looked no better than live 09. No point releasing a game that is worse than the product they released 3 years ago. maybe ea is just throwin in the towel for this generation of consoles and is going to build for the future. Ea should just not mention one thing about basketball games unless it's for a new nba street or they have developed a basketball game that is actually able to offer something worthwhile.

            I blame this guy (David Littman) for screwing things up even more. For those who don't know, he worked on NHL and FIFA franchises before he was given the assignment on NBA Live. Excuse me 'Elite'. He thought he could just port over the same features from those other franchises and be done with it, but oh boy.... No wonder Mike Wang left the following year to go back to 2K.

            *Edit: LOL watch Jennings shoot with his right hand. Good job EA.*

                Lol, never thought about it like that.

                Question, what happened to David Littman?

                      Re: NBA Live 13 Canceled

                      I mean, really, they had a two year cicle (not considering the whole elite 11 debacle), and they can't even release a decent product? why would they remain focused on the elite engine?

                      I still believe that if they took Live 10 as a start up point they could releaseatthevery least a very decent basketball game.

                      EA is a joke.

                          I know this is off topic but madden 13 is not as bad as people make it out to be. In comparisons to past maddens its a better game gameplay wise. It's still has flaws, ones that have existed for years, however this game was at least a step in a new direction.
